ident Wilson said that the situation
IN which many of the farmers find
themselves can not be remedied by
measure Of this sort" and that there
is no short way out Of existing condi
tons"
Actual relief for the farmers. the
president asserted, could only come
from the adoption Of constructive
measures OF broader scope. from the
restoration Of peace everywhere Ill

there Of additional credit foundation

asserted needed in the present situa-
