legalizing and otherwise making pro-
vision for cooperative selling on the
part OF the farmer; the creation of a
rural credit institution, which will per
nit the loaning of money on com
modities in the same way in which
the government already loans money
on farm land; and, finally, somewhat
more dubious proposal to require that
a farmer shall sit on the federal re-
serve board.
Also as regards the tariff, the farm
bloc will act as unit, and have al
ready been given assurances that their
wishes would be respected by the Re
publican leadership of the senate.
One of the most striking events in
the present congress was frequently
but enormously attributed to the lead
ership of the farm bloc. That was
the forcing of the retention of high
surtaxes on large incomes, after the
house had once voted lower rate,
after President Harding had endorsed
the lower rate and after the senate
finance committee had practically de-
cided to adopt it.
While it is probably true that most

notes when they became due. If the
lenders had forclosed there would have
been widespread distress not only to
the farmers, but to the entire local
businss communities involved.
Relief Furnished
The relief furnished by the treasury
was in the shape of advancing money
and taking a prior lien on the col
lateral or other form of security. There
is no reason to anticipate that the gov
eminent will lose any considerable
amount of money advanced, and the
net result of the operation as a whole
has unquestionably been to prevent the
sacrifice of live stock and crops in
panicky market, and otherwise to sta
bliZe business conditions generally in
the farming states.
The rest of the affirmative program
of the farm bloc, both for the past and
for the future, has been and is largely
in the same general direction of pro-
viding better credit conditions and
better market conditions for the farm
ers.
For the immediate future the pro-
gram of the bloc includes a statute

south, farming conditions last year
were fully as distressing as Secretary
Wallace has described them in the ag-
ricultural states of the west. 1t was
this partnership in economic distress
that made the political partnership
easy. The economic remedies that
would relieve the west would also re-
lieve the south.
Among the southern Democratic
senators who are commonly described
as having participation in the bloc are
Smith of South Carolina, Fletcher of
Florida, Sheppard of Texas, Harris of
Georgia. Caraway of Arkansas and
Helm of Alabama.
In this list of Democrats, as well
as in naming the Republicans who are
generally regarded as having parti-
cipated in the bloc. there is no pre-
tense to completeness or TO exact &C
curacy.
Warns Against Conclusions
Some senators who frequently vote
with the bloc are not formally identi-
fled with its leadership, and the local
reader in the states from which these
senators come should be warned
against making final political conclu-
sions based on what is here said.
In turning to fair examination OF
what the bloc has done with its power
it must be said so far as those meas
ures are concerned which they initial
ed or advocated little can be said in
the nature of criticism, even by those
who are mostly disposed to deplore
the underlying principle of group &C
ton in politics.
As regards the measures which the
farm bloc is given credit for opposing
or defeating, probably somewhat less
is to be said for them. There is not
space in the present article for any
minute examination of the bloc's legis
lative program, either of advocacy OF
| of opposition.
Perhaps the chief measure for which
the bloc is responsible was the ap
preparation of $50.0O0,000 to be useC
by an agency of the treasury for The
relief of farm conditions.
It is true that the form in which
this measure ultimately passed wa!

new AFRICAN LINE
TO Be BUILT SOON
HIGHEST IN EMPIRE

The new Kenya Railway in South
Africa from Nakuru on the Uganda
railway. to Tuabo, on the Uasin Plat
eau, when completed will be the high
est line in the Empire. The contract
has been awarded for construction and
the work will shortly be commenced.
Connects Rich Districts.
The provision of easy transport to
and from the fertile Uasin Gishu Pat
eau, which lies northeast Of the VIC
toria Nyanza, in Kenya Colony, has
been recognized as matter OF import
ance for many years, but circumstan-
ces have hitherto delayed construc-
ton.
Nakuru, the starting point of the
new line, lies in the Rift Valley. Trend
ing generally in a northwesterly dtrec-
ton, the Uasin Fishu Railway will
within about 20 miles reach the Molo
River, which is the center of flour
ishing agricultural area. Farther on 1t
will traverse the Eldama Forest, which
contains an immense quantity OF mar
ketable timber.

celebrated Mau Escarpnent and gain

than the form in which the farmers
originally proposed it.
Reasonable Measure
But in the form in which this fund
finally became available for the relief
of distress in the farming districts it
was an entirely reasonable measure
considered as an emergency action
and in its application has done great
good.
The fund was entrusted to a rep
-esentative of the treasury, in the per
son of a New York banker, Mr.. Eu-
gene Meyer, together with several
associates who are business men from
various sections of the country.
Mr.. Meyer turned out to be a man
of energy and resource. He has tray
eled up and down the country, finding
out the spots where there was need
of relief. The relief has taken the
form of advancing money to local
bankers, and TO others who, in their
turn, had previously loaned money to
farmers and stock raisers.
In these cases the original borrow
'ers among the farmers and stock rails
ers were utterly unable to pay their

much participation in the movement
are the two from Wisconsin, LaFol-
lette and Lenroot.
LaFollette is, by choice and prac-
tice, a solitary maverick in politics.
About the last thing he would do
would be to subscribe to group action
or to obligations of teamwork that
night impair his complete liberty of
action in any contingency. Neverthe-
less, it is fact that LaFollette has
shared most Of the steps taken by the
farm bloc.
Lenroot. who is one Of the ablest
men in the senate, has position con-
siderably farther toward the outer
fringe of the movement. BY reason Of
his ability and standing, he has been
particularly helpful on such occasions
as his convictions have conceded with
those Of the farm bloc.
Kellogg of Minnesota is another or
dinarily conservative senator who has
occasionally occupied a position on
the outer circle OF the farm bloc Sen
ator Ladd of North Dakota has been
close TO the heart of the movement.
So has Norbeck of South Dakota, Ken
drick of Wyoming, and McNary of Ore

Not Identified
Several of the senators who are fire.
quently described as radical, like
Johnson of California and Borah of
Idaho, have not been formally identi-

fact that a few senators who come
from purely agricultural states. and
who, therefore, might be expected to
be in the heart of the movement, have
not really participated in it in any
formal way.
But il is not possible to list all the
members of the bloc, nor to state with
exact justice the degree of participa-
ton in it or of dissent from it that
senators have had. Some senators
who have not attended the formal
meetings of the bloc have nevertheless
