The reply TO Governor Mekelyie's
condemnation OF the agricultural
bloc was given by the state eonven-
ton oi the Farmers union at the
Auditorium yesterday. A series oi
resolutions were adopted condemn
ing the calling OF special session.
the gasoline tax, the expenditures oi
the capitol commission AS well a.
dealing with a number OF other is
sues, state and national. Senator &.
! w. Norris. who is member OF the
agricultural bloc. was congratulated
/ for his work in behalf OF the farmers.
while Senator g. NJ. Hitchcock. who
has no connection with this non
partisan bloc, was left without, any
mention.
Waterway Endorsed.
The st. Lawrence waterway
project was unanimously endorsed.
A reduction in the automobile H.
cense tax was the counter sugges-
ton to the gasoline tax.
The greatest piece OF constructive
work accomplished by the delegates
was the authorization OF an agricul-
tural investment company to work in
conjunction with the War Finance
corporation to obtain more credit for
farmers. This, it was explained, would
also serve to prevent blue sky stock
sales and may finally be converted
into a cooperative bank. The reason
assigned for not starting such bank
now was that the farmers did not
wish to embarrass those banks now in
the field.
Fight Marketing Plan.
The greatest struggle of the session
came over the question of endorsing
the United States Grain Growers. Inc
Charles Wooster Of Silver Creek led
the opposition to this plan for
national grain marketing organiza-
ton of farmers, and the decision was
surprisingly close. There was evident
considerable feeling that this organi-
cation, and the Farm Bureau fedora
ton as well, was poaching on the pre-
serves of the Farmers union.
c. H. Watts, formerly manager OF
the livestock selling agencies operated
by the farmers, made most of his ap-
peal for the presidential office on this
animosity, particularly condemning
the livestock marketing plan of the
Committee of Is, which is sponsored

Argument Over Annex B.
The difficulties encountered today
had to do with Annex B prescribing
six optional methods OF scrapping
tho 6S capital ships which arc to
be eliminated from the navies OF the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan.
Mr.. Hughes strongly advocated the
destruction outright OF the bulk oil
the retired capital ships and sought
to obtain a definite understanding
concerning the ships actually to be
scrappcd and those to be converted
into merchantmen and naval train
ing craft.
The French and Itali'.n delegates
supported Mr.. Hughes.
Mr. Balfour opposed NJ. Hughes
proposals. He was unwilling to
commit Great Britain definitely as
20 the amount OF tonnage to be de-
stroyed and the amount to be con-
yerted to peacetime uses. lie held
that so long as the retired capital
ships were disarmed it made no diff
ference whether they were DESTROYED
or no. for they never could be used
again as batfeships. When pressed.
