Roosevelt Pro poses Reorganization of Na tional Committee anrl Its Working Program. "Must Be More Liberal” Washington, March S.—A move ment looking to the holding of a con ference of democratic leaders from the various states in the early sum mer for the purpose of more securely welding together the democratic party has been Initiated hy Franklin P. Roosevelt, of Xew York, with the en dorsement of other party chieftains In outlining the proposal In a let ter to Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, permanent chairman of the democratic convention last year.' Air. Roosevelt disclosed he had communl rated with all the delegates attending the Xew York convention and that, as to methods of practical organizations, a great majority of the replies re ceived concur in these five sugges tions: 1. That the national committee, or Its executive machinery, should func tion every day in every year and not merely In presidential election years. 3. That the national rommittec should he brought Into far closet touch with the state organizations. ,1. That the executhe machinery for year In and year out work should he put on a continuing and business like financial basis. Need More Publicity. 4. That publicity for fundamental party policy and for the dissemina tion of current Information should be greatly extended. 5. That party leaders from all sec tions should meet more frequently In order tp exchange views and plans for united party artlon. Air. Roosevelt, who was campaign manager for Oovernor Alfred E. Smith of Xew York, In the presiden tial nomination fight last year, also wrote Senator Walsh that, the confer ences for the next national nomina tion should he eliminated at this t ime. "By adhering tn principles rather than personalities for the next three years, we shall go far toward sue cess." he said. ^ Air. Roosevelt also declared In his letter that his correspondents we*-j "ovetwhelmingly agreed that the de moeracy must he unqualifiedly the party representative of progress and liberal thought.” Liberalization I’rged. "In other words." he said, "the clear !ln« of demarcation which dif ferentiated the political thought of Jefferson on the one side, and of Hamilton on the other, must he re stored. The democracy must make it Hear that it seeks primarily the good of the average citizens through the t\ ee rule of the whole electorate, as opposed to the republican party which seeks a mere moneyed pros perity of the nation through the con trol of government by a self appoint ed aristocracy of wealth and of social and economic power. "The letters I have received nre also Insistent that the democratic party shall not. nationally. In the fu ture. confuse with basic principles those matters of momentary or tem porary nature which are principally nV local Interest. Ry thus confining Itself tn .those Issues which the whole party In every section of the nation agrees on ns fundamental, we shall not only present a united front, hut i shall cease tn confuse th» electorate." WaNh Endorses Plan. Senator Walsh In replying with an endorsement of the proposal for a na tional conference, said there was a re markable similarity In the opinions Mr. Roosevelt had epitomized and those conveyed to him hy many mem oir hers of the party "solicitous about its nature, regardless of who may bear Its honors or Its burdens.’ ’ "I sm In entire harmony,” Senator Walsh wrote, "with the Idea you ad vanes of culling, at an early day, a conference of representatives of the various states to take counsel touch ing the matters adverted to In your communication and to devise end set on foot some machinery popularly fi nanced for carrying on the educa tional work so neceseary to success, to he proceeded with only more In tensely when campaigns sre actually in progress. "I entertain no doubt that the chairman of the national committee would gladly entertain a augg»stlon for the calling of such a conference emenatlng from a dozen or perhaps a scora of representative democrat* from various sections of the country."

"As long ago as last August, when the backwardness of the season threatened Injury to the crop,'' said a statement given out today at the White Mouse, "the department called the attention of farmers, and of the state colleges of agriculture, to the importance of espeeial attention to the seed com problem.
