WASHINGTON. March "a An
appeal for every good citizen" to
do what he can to help the farmers
through the period of depression,
not for the sake of helping the

first formal statement
Prices of farm products must rise
and prices Of other products come
down before the normal relation be-

declared. is morally wrong and eco

everybody would be better Off if
an effort were made TO bring about
price level about seventy per cent
above the pre-war normal
Sec'y Wallace said he doubted
whether the people i'm the East
realize just what has happened to
the farmers Of the producing sec
tons" Citing conditions in the cen
trail west as an example he said that
there. Notwithstanding that I'VE
have the finest rural civilization
taken as "A whole. the world has ever
seen" the farmers are now lin "a
most trying period and are suffering
severe financial losses. Farmers
throughout the nation. especially
those in the south and west, he adj
ded are experiencing exactly the

WANTS IMMEDIATE
REVENUE REVISION
Republican House Leader Says
Revenue More Important
Than Tariff.
BY Associated Press:


WASHINGTON, March 12.-After
Ia conference with Prest Harding,
Rep. MondeH, republican leader of
the house. i'm outlining today the
probable program and policy of the
new congress. declared revenue re-
vision legislation should be consid-
cred ahead of any temporary, or
stop-gap tariff.
Mr.. Mondcll heldd thai enactment
OF q temporary tariff law. along the
lines Of the Payne-Aldrich measure,
would require as much time as
would be necessary to pass a perma-
nent tariff
If the country demands relief and
an emergency law the republican
leader suggested shat this be con-
fined to a. simple anti-dUnping pro-
vision and possibly an amendment
to the present law basing rates on
American rather than foreign values.
I'm this way, he contended, such a
measure might save the situation
during the long congressional con-
siderauon Of a permanent law.
How to tackle tho allied qucs-
lions of tariff and revenue is the
important thing Mr.. MCldeu said.
ct has been suggested in certain
quarters that it would he wise 10
take up some measure, Tor instance
the Payne-Aldrich bill. modify a few
OF its provisions and pass it as a
purely temporary and emergency
stop-Sap tariff measure. The sug-
gested program would be to follow
that with revenue legislation and
then permanent tariff bin, which
might not become law until the
regular session.
