There to nothing particular
to investigate about the lar-
mens’ march to Washington.
The only question to whether
d the farmers went there lor
w' the purpose they should have
gone.
The small farmers have
plenty to fight for in the
present cotton program. Un-
less they do it, evidently no
one else will fight for them.
According to Chester
C. Davis of the AAA,
the farmers came of
their own votttkm. But
someone told them that
the processing tax was
in danger and also that
they may lose this year’s
rent, unless they march
to Washington. Who was

So this was really not a true

According to the present

veto will not be sustained, in

appear in person before the

AAA EXTENDS COTTON
LOANS
Washington, D. C., May
26.—A six-months extension
of the maturity date of the
12-ceht cotton loans from
July 31, 1935, to February
1, 1936, was announced today
by the AAA.
The announcement said dir-
ect loans by the Commodity
Credit corporation on eligible
cotton under the. 12-cent loan
plan will be available to pro-
ducers until July 31, 1935.
The AAA explained the ex-
tension granted today means
that producers who have ob-
tained the 12-cent loans on
the 1934 crop may make re-
payment, obtain the release
of pledged cotton warehouse
receipts, and secure the ad-
vantage of any increases in
the market between now and
February 1, 1936.
It was said that no cot-
ton pledged as security for
12-cent loans will be taken
over or sold by the Commod-
ity Credit corporation before
February 1, 1936, except as
provided under the terms of
the loan agreement.

Pope Pius XI in a gorge-

The pontiff urged his audi-

"We desire that with your
ardent prayers invoking pa-

is so dear to our heart, name

of St. Paul, ‘mediating the
happy consummation which
crowned the life' of two mar
tyrs, may ‘follow then in their
taith’ and return to the Fa-
ther's house ‘in unity, faith
and knowdeldge of the Son
of God’.”
Speaking in Latin and flan
ked by his cardinals, the
Pope continued:
"Let those who are still
separated from us consider
attentively the ancient glo-
ries of their church, which
were at once the reflection
and the increment of the
glories of the church of

.After many hours of de-

Hostile mobs gathered in
front of Jewish department
stores, which were closed ha-
stily.
Collectors for the charita-
ble organization started thru
the streets early in the day,
seeking contributions. They
met with general hostility.
Demonstrations at many
points insulted them and rip-
ped the insignia from their
coats.
The demonstrators paraded
the streets like sandwich men
carrying placards referring
to the Weidenhofer verdict.
The placards carried such slo
gans as:
“Don’t give a penny to fo-
reign exchange smugglers.”
“No German should give to
Roman Catholic traitors.”
As the demonstrations in-
creased in intensity, the Ba-

the ground that “otherwise,

Washington, May 17. —
Without waiting for the sen-
ate to act on a resolution
asking Secretary Wallace for
information on who organ-
ized the recent farmers de-
monstration in Washington
and who paid their expen-
ses, the AAA has struck
back at its critics with a vig-
orous denial that it fostered
the "march” to the capital.
An assertion that the far-
mers came to Washington
“of their own volition” was
made by Chester C. Davis,
AAA administrator.
“The AAA has not spon-
sored, nor financed, nor per-
to patrol the Btreets as aux- mitted its agents to sponsor,
iliary police. nor permitted country, pro-
duction control association!
funds to be used to finance,
the farmers visit to Wash-
ington,” he said.
“On the other hand, the
Adjustment Administration
has never denied the right
to farmers to visit their capi-
tal, has never attempted to
discourage them from doing
so, and upon their arrival in
Washington welcomed them
and rendered to them assis-
tance when we could give it.”
The upwards of 4000 far-
mers who attended the meet-
ing at which they shouted
support of the AAA, heard
President .Roosevelt assail
critics who he said were “ly-
ing” about the administra-
tion’s agricultural program.
