+ Secretary Wallace said tonight that
the date of the conference had not
been fixed nor, a2complete. invitation
list made up. It is expected, however,
that the conference will be- held with.
in a month and that, in addition to
farmers and their organizations, in

ought not to be some correct and con-
struetive steps taken to remedy the
severe hardships under which so inn
pertant a portion of our productive
citizenship is struggling.sI am con
vinced that conference may be made
a very helpful agency in suggesting
practical ways of Improvement, par

with the helpful investigation which
had been begun by a congressional
commission committed to a related
work" " .>& r.
The president further suggested
that the conference might divide its
work into two sections, one "for con-
sideration of our present day diff

serious and need effective attention." !"
while the second could deal with "a
survey of the: future in an effort to

VARIED OPINIONS
OF DUTY ON OIL

Washington, Dec. 31.-Varying
duties on crude oil were proposed
before the senate finance committee
today by spokesmen for mid-conti-
nent producers and all duties were
opposed by American producers op-
Grating in Mexico and representa-
tives of various classes of oil con-
sumers in this country.
Renewing the fight for tariff levy
which was lost in the house by an
overwhelming vote Senator Harreld
(Republican) of Oklahoma said he
was satisfied with the original rates
proposed by the ways and means
committee, 35 cents q barrel On
crude and rs cents barrel on fuel.
Seator Curtis, of Kansas, Republi-
can member of finance committee,
had introduced an amendment to the
tariff bill proposing these duties.
A duty of 81 barrel was urged
by Harry a. Smith, of Tulsa, Okla,
secretary of the Mid-Continental Oil
and Gas association, who said this
would equalize the difference in the
costs of production in Mexico and
in the mid-continent fields. W. H.
Gray tof Tulsa, representing the Ma
tional Association of Independent
Oil Producers, suggested no specific
rates, but urged that the president
be- empowered to assess q duty
equivalent. to the combined import
and export levies imposed by Mexi-
CO, Colombia and Venezuela, from
which the chief American imports
come. 80
