Ramsay Mal Had Remarkable Political Career
James Ramsay MacDonald rose from poverty to lead British politics. Born October 12, 1866 in Lossiemouth, he quit school at 12, worked in fields and warehouses, educated himself via libraries and courses, and joined the Labour movement. After early failed parliamentary bids, he entered Parliament in 1906 for Leicester after years of opposition to the South African War and party-building work with the Social Democratic Federation's successor groups.

Congress weighs full 500 million farm aid amid bill push
Washington June 4 Congressional leaders said after the farm bill becomes law the agriculture department should promptly make available the proposed 500 million dollar appropriation to stabilize agriculture. The measure authorizes a half billion, with some leaders favoring the full amount rather than 200 million. The committee approved a resolution by Chairman Couzens to authorize inquiry into communications and corporate practices, seeking a report to regulate interstate and foreign communication. A new Federal Communications Commission bill is under consideration, with Couzens proposing an amendment to regulate interstate transmission of electric power and give the new agency power to set rates and coordinate with state commissions.

Belgium Accepts German Proposal to Settle Reparations
Paris June 4 The Belgians accepted Dr Hjalmar Schacht proposals for German marks return in Belgium as part of the reparations plan. The accord cuts Germany's reparations burden from about 33 billion to 9 billion dollars and aligns with Owen Young's expert report. The agreement schedules annuities over 37 and 21 years totaling about 492 million, 408 million, and 216 million dollars respectively and includes conditions, moratoriums, and reductions in related taxes and Dawes plan adjustments. It aims to evacuate the Rhineland and solidify European peace while linking Allied war debt payments to German annuities. The settlement is viewed as the strongest step since the peace conference.
