on April 1, 1936, the j elimination of price-fixing and the ' exemption of wholly intra-state i business from the operation of the 1 codes.President Roosevelt in a conference with congressional leaders the1 previous evening turned thumbs | down on this proposal when first put] forward by Senator Bennett Clark, : Democrat, Missouri, and other open ! closely allied to the Farmers Creditors Arrangements Act initiated last year.Under that legislation farmers may have their debts composed and consolidated by a modified form of bankruptcy but without the actual resort to bankruptcy-proceedings.Once they have secured an arrangement with their creditors the Farm Loan Board offers a means by w-hich farmers may-secure new money with which to carry on.Mr.Rhodes has been actively engaged in preparations of the new Farm Loan Board machinery since adjournment of Parliament at Easter, and during his illness of the past fortnight has kept closely in touch with the

to Pay Full Consequences of Disastrous Step.New York, May 15.\u2014 The assertion that abandonment of the gold standard by the United States in April, 1933, was a unnecessary and disastrous\u201d was made in a statement by Ogden L.Mills, former United States Secretary of the Treasury, in answer to an address by the present Secretary Henry Morgenthau.Contrary to Morgenthau\u2019s assertion that gold left the United States \u201cin alarming amounts\u201d in 1932, Mills said, the country\u2019s monetary gold stock increased rather than decreased.\u201cWhether it was wise and necessary to abandon the gold standard in April.1933, is a matter on which men differ.I hold that it was unnecessary and disastrous and that we have not begun to pav the full consequence of the step \u2018taken at that time.Then and there it resulted in a breach of faith by the United Sates Government\u201d.\tOpen\tHigh\tLow\tNoon BèU Tel\t\t124 Vi\t124%\t124%\t124 y* Brazilian\t.914\t9%\t9%\t9% Bruck SiTk
