Resolution No. S.
National Legislation.
We heartily recommend our Ma
,ional officials for their efforts TO
have Congress To enact Legislation
tending to relieve the present criti-
rai conditions affecting agriculture
Our Judgment is that the enactment
into law of those measures proposed
by our officials or endorsed by them
viii materially aid so far as II is pos
sible for legislation 10 aid, in restor-
ing a market for surplus farm pro-
ducts, which II property utilized by
cooperative sales efforts will permit
the selling of our products at figures
M least approaching their economic
worth.
Among the measures now pending
in Congress which we desire 10 see
enacted speedily, are;
/. Packer control Legislation;
2. Regulation Of Grain and Cot
ton Exchanges;
3. More ample provision for the
efficient operation Of the Land Loan
Bang Act;
4. Financing through government
loan and government control of an
export corporation 70 aid in export
marketing;
8. Legislation eliminating Farm
ers' Cooperative Organizations from
the provision of any antitrust laws.
We are especially gratiiied that
through the efforts of the National
Union, that Congress has created the
Joint Agricultural Inquiry Commits
sion with power TO subpoena witness
IS and otherwise secure information
about conditions that have caused
such unwarranted deflation Of agri-
cultural products. and TO make COM
pafison between agriculture and other
great industries OF our country, with
the object Of arriving at = solution Of
the agriculture problem.
We pledge our support 20 this
laudable effort, and urge that the
commission do not content itself with
few short hearings in Washington,
but that they visit all sections of the
country and ascertain from actual
farmers at first hand just the true
condition affecting agriculture IN It's
various ramifications. and actually
discover Just what becomes Of the
tremendous margin that now exists
between the farm price and the con-
sumers price Of our commodities.

In our judgment immediate relief
to agriculture can come only when
adequate arrangements have been
made fer the sale Of commodities IN
foreign markets. In order TO faeili-
tate as speedily as possible this much
TO be desired end, we respectfully
petition Congress TO,
1. Broaden the power and scope
Of the War Finance Corporation SO
that they will be authorized 10 extend
credit upon foreign bills Of lading
properly secured;
2. That the War Risk Bureau. or
Bureau with purposes similar 10
