SENATOR OFFERS PROFITS ON FARM FOR 3O-CENT SUIT
Brookhart ReneWS Charge Against Secretary Mere
 dith'S "InfIation" Policy

JEWELL, Ia, August 24.--Senator Smith w. Brookhart. in accepting the challenge of E. T. Meredith in his 30-cent libel suit, declared Fri day that he would like to offer the former secretary of agriculture the profits on his 24o-acre farm in set clement of the suit.
 If Meredith agrees to pay all the expenses, I would offer him the whole thing for 30 cents," Brook hart said. "Confidentally, I would be several hundred dollars ahead. Thirty cents is about all I can save after paying this years deficit on my farm"
 Senator Brookhart said he well comed the opportunity to tell under oath how Meredith sat in the Wall street gang" and started the "agri- cultural panic He quoted figures claiming the deflation policy cost the farmers S1S0,0 00,000, in reduc- tion of land values and $40, ,O00.0 900 in 1920 and 1921 crops. The loans of the war finance corporation" q Wall street controlled organization" ]" he said, were all to banks, making these figures camouflage to deceive the farmers"
 T will be glad to tell the farmers of the United States under oath what I have learned about the financial schemes to drive them back to peasantry," the Iowa sena- tor declared. The only issue with me is whether the farmer is getting a fair deal-I deny that he is."
