BOARD STUDIES
MARKET SYSTEM
Cooperative Selling To Be
First Project of
Farm Relief
Washington. July 31.—/jp>—
Evolvement of perhaps a naif dozen
gigantic farmer-owned co-operative
organizations to conduct crder.y
mass marketing of the principal
agricultural commodities is under
consideration by the completed
federal farm board as the founda
tion for its attempt to bring pros
perity to farming.
Once the program is brought to
fulfillment, farm leaders expect it tc j
make the United otatc-s the arena
for the greatest experiment in co
operative marketing the world has
ever known. As now contemplated,
it will be based on demonstrated
needs in each branch of agriculture
fleeted and on consideration
of special crop conditions.
Under the guidance of President I
Hoover and the members of the
farm board .all avow*d advocates
of the co-operative movement, sta
bilization operations by ‘.he govern
ment on the open market will be
avoided, if possible. Large market- I
ing associations, they believe, will ,
be able to produce results as bene
ficial as the government could ob
tain by employing the stabilization -
provisions of the farm relief act.
The co-operative program, involv
ing an enormous amount of work,
is recognized as requiring consider
able time, but its development Is
believed to have been greatly facil
itated by the completion of the
board's membership with the ap
pointment of Sam R. McKelvie. for
mer governor of Nebraska, as the
spokesman for the wheat and coarse
grains industry. Because of differ
ences between the co-operative and
pool groups in the grain industry.
President Hoover had much diffi
culty in filling the place, and Mc
Kelvie accepted only on condition
that he would be free to retire at
the end of a year.

Pact Stops Payment
Of French War Debt
WASHINGTON. July 31—'in
payment of France’s $400,000^)00
was supplies debt to the United
States, due tomorrow, has been
postponed in view of that nation's
ratification of the $4 025,000.000
j Mellon-Berenger agreement which
! provides for funding it. with all oth
er war obligations, over a period of
62 years.
The postponement was ^effected
through an exchange of notes be
j tween Secretary Mellon and Am
bassador Claudel. Although the
congressional resolution authorizing
such action in event of French rat
ification of the general debt fund
ing agreement failed to receive the
signatures necessary to make It a
law, the administration felt that its
adopt idti by both senate and house
shortly before they recessed for the
summer nrovided ample moral au
thority to carry out its intent.
The pcstocnement was made ef
fective until May 1, next year, sub
ject to aporoval or disapproval of
I the general agreement by congress.

DELAY ON SHIP
WORK DEFENDED
British Naval Agreement
Hoover’s Reason For
Halting Cruisers
WASHINGTON, July SI.—(£V
The agreement between the United
States and Great Britain looking to
complete equality in the strength of
their navies is held out by President
Hoover as an answer to critics of
his decision to postpone work on
the three cruisers which were to
have been laid down in navy yards
next fall.
Quoting “our naval authorities”
as n.^,mrd parity with Great Birtoin
as “a complete defense of the
United States in any contingency,”
the president has taken occasion to
set forth the importance he at
taches to the London agreement in
a letter replying to criticisms of his
cruiser postponement action by Paul
V. McNutt, national commander of
the American legion.
He describes the agreement as
“the first step of the renewed con
sideration of reduction of the exces
sive world naval armament” and
holds it to be “a forward step of
the first importance," reiterating
his position that defense is all that
the United 8tat:s is seeking.
The president expressed his opin
ion that it was better to establish
such a relation as that represented
in the parity agreement than to
"resign ourselves to continue at
tempts to establish it by rival con
struction programs.”
The clqiseness with which tne
president is following the negotia
tions In London between Prime
Minister MacDonald and Ambassa
dor Dawes and Gibson, now con
cerned chiefly with establishment of
a new, comprehensive formula for
measuring the strength of navies,
is being demonstrated by his fre
quent conferences with high offi

cials of the state department who
are kept informed of the details.
The current London conversa
tions are expected to go a long way
toward making possible a prelimi
nary naval limitation conference
among the world powers to consider I
not only capital ships but cruisers,
destroyers and su’ urines. It Is
the belief of officials here that such
a meeting would eliminate the ne
cessity for calling a conference un
d ; the terms of the Washington
arms limitation treaty.
London Is looked upon as the
probable meeting place for the ex
pected preliminary conference, since
Prime Minister MacDonald would
be most likely to issue the call.
Agreement of Japan. Italy and
France, parties to the Washington
treaty, for consideration of capital
ships at such a conference would be
necessary, however, before that
category of vessels could be in
