Senator Brookhart said he had found
sentiment strong in the east as well
as in the west in favor of a special
session to handle the agricultural sit

IF we are going to help at ALL" he
said. Congress must take charge,
through some government agency. Of
the marketing of the big crops that
are coming. There should be an ap-
preparation by Congress of govern
ment funds to purchase, IL necessary,
the staple crops of the entire country
and market them. The entire wheat
crop, corn crop, cotton crop, ETC.,
should be handled in this way. Leg
islation should provide a minimum
price for these products, to be bid by
, the government.
There should be a high tariff wall
erected to keep out food products
from abroad. The millers and the
middle men would have to purchase
| the farm products then, either from
the farmers or from the government
believe that as soon as they recog-
| nized this was the case they would
buy direct from the farmers and that
the government would have to handle
comparatively little of the crops in
question.
This would be an emergency meas
ure, intended to meet the situation
brought about by the huge crops ex-
pected in this county. Eventually a

the "details he learned that Mr.. Stitt
was to place Foster on q train for
New York, where he was to be met
by another official of the army and
then to be taken to Toronto. Canada.
