PRESIDENT URGED TO
CURB PROFITEERING
Harding and Senator Watson
Discuss Measures to Relieve
Farmers Plight

Washington, d. C.-Measures to re
lieve the financial plight of the farm
ers and curb profiteering, particularly
in food and clothing, were discussed
with President Harding by Senator
Watson, Republican, Indiana
The visit of the Indiana senator to
the White House followed a confer
ence in his office, at which a number
OF senators from western states talk
ed over possible legislative program
acceptable to the west.
Picturing to the President how the
farmers are generally unable to get
enough for their crops to pay for har
vesting and shipping. while consum
ers pay high prices, Senator Watson
urged the immediate necessity of
some forceful program to put agricul-
ture on it's feet and squeeze out the
long line Of profit-taking between pro-
ducer and consumer
Senator Watson's view is that any
program of relief for the farmer must
go further than the questions of
freight rates, interest rates and tariff
rates. While these may have a part
in the farmers dilemma, the senator
declared that "the man who produces
food and clothing can get very little
for it. while the man who needs to
buy it has to pay an uncomfortable
high price"
Mr. Watson told the President that
he favored the program for agricul-
tural credits, but that he feared it
would not strike at the root of. the
question.
If producers were compelled to ac-
cept ruinous prices when they finally
did come to sell cattle and crops. he
argued. loans would only be a paIlia-
tive, and he urged that while the fl
nancial distress of the farmers was
being temporarily relieved by liberal
credits, an exhaustive study by liber-
al credits, an exhaustive study be un-
dertaken to find some practicable
means OF bringing producers and con
sumers together and eliminate large
profits in between
President Harding listened to Sena-
tor Watson with deep interest as the
latter pictured potato crops abandon
ed, fruit crops compelled to rot and
grain crops unmoved while farmers
faced mortgage foreclosures. Some
definite plans are to he discussed with
the President later and meanwhile.
Senator Watson said, the program of
agricultural credits and other meas
ures for temporary relief would be
fastened in Congress
