London Still
Has Hope for
Debt Inquiry
Britain Will Continue Efforts
to Reach Basis for Meet—
Washington Hold*
Off.
By AimltM Pmi.
Ixmdon, Nov. 10.—Although the
press reports from Washington re
garding the prospect of a reparation
inquiry conducted within a limited
scope of the French proposal are by
no means sanguine, British official
circles In London do not consider the
time has yet arrived to abandon
hopes of an allied conference includ
ing America.
In competent quarters It is asserted
that Great Britain will continue to
apply herself to the problem of reach
ing a basis on which a conference
satisfactory to the United States can
be held until every possible avenue
Is explored.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Restrictions
Insisted upon by France on the pro
posed Inquiry by experts into Ger
many’s economic condition would ren
der such an effort to solve the repara
tions problem useless and futile, in
the opinion of the Washington gov
ernment. •
This decision was reached yester
day after ths situation had been dis
cussed during the day by President
Coolldge and his cabinet and ambas
sador Jusserand at a conference with
Secretary Hughes has explained in
detail the nature of the French limi
tations.
The result was that word was sent
to Premier Poincare, through the
ambassador, that his determination
to restrict the scope of the inquiry,
administration officials here bellsved
would frustrate the object of the
United States In offering the allies
aid in bringing about an adjustment.
What the future might bring
forth, officials hgfe declined to pre
dict.
No formal invitation to participate
Jn a reparations Inquiry it was point
ed out is before the Washington gov
ernment and consequently a declin
ation Is not in order. While under
the circumstances no invitation from
the allies Is now expected it was
plainly indicated that such an invi
tation, if France continued to insist
upon restrictions would he declined.
Bj Associated Press.
Paris, Nov. 10.—The presentation of
Great Britain's bill for her war ad
vances to the French government Is
foreseen by political observers as
one of the probable early results of
the apparent collapse of the plan for
an expert committee to examine Ger
many's rapacity to pay reparations.
It Is understood Premier Poincare ex
pects It to be one of the develop
ment*.
The reparation commission which
will meet next Tuesday, will have to
decide the question whether the Ger
mans shall be heard, according to
their request, as to the capacity of
Germany to pay. It Is understood
there will be no opposition by the
French.

Nebraska Sound,
Pioneer Declares
J. H. Hanson of Fremont Re
views Situation—Eat Wheat
Campaign Launched.
"Don't worry about Nebraska; the
fanners are abundantly able to take
care of themselves," was the advice
of J. H. Hansen, a pioneer farm loan
man of Fremont, before the agri
cultural committee of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce Friday.
"Half of Nebraska doesn't raise
wheat," he continued, "and the half
that does, with the exception of a
few counties, raises It ss a part cf
diversified farming, not as the main
crop."
AH over the state, he said, fanners
are swinging to diversification. Sum
mer fallowing, by which a part of
each farm Is allowed to rest un
planted each year, Is also found to
increase profits. The comparatively
few landowners who plant 2,000 scree
of wheat, and having plunged, go to
California for the winter, are of a
passing race, he declared.
Horn* Market for Wheat.
Grosvenor Dawe, secretary of the
national wheat council, followed Mr.
Hansen. He told of organizing an
"eat more toast committee” In Oma
ha, designed to increase the demand
for wheat products and thus improve
the prices paid grain farmers. Dairy
companies will place the suggestion
of toast on the caps of their milk
bottles, and gas bills and electricity
bills also should carry the Injunction,
he said. *
"If every person In America would
cat two additional ounces of bread
at each meal for a year, It would con
sume 100,000,000 additional bushels of
wheat," he estimated. "It is raised
to he eaten—let's sat It," he said.
He explained that it was utterly
uncalled for to attempt to raise
wheat In some localities, where the
cost of production ranges as high as
$9 a bushel. His suggestions were to
turn to some other more paying crop
In these Instances, to readjust the
acreage elsewrhere, to depend less on
exporting wheat, and to develop the
home market.
"We must abandon the Idea that
the salvation of the American farmer
lies in the foreign market,” he con
cluded. "The remedy for low prices
lies right here at home.”
At a meeting In the city hall Frl
day, P. F. Petersen waa elected
chairman of the eat more wheat
movement, and James A. Austin, sec
retary.
