Washington, Jan. 26.-Congress

sideration Of the peoples business.
Gradually, the committees which

groups because OF the Importance Of
legislative measures now in their
keeping.
The executive branch OF the Gov
eminent has interviewed in the agri-
cultural situation in an effort to
bolster credits and ward off financial
distress, particularly In the North
west. The President sent a special
message to Congress stating that he
had directed the Secretaries OF Com
merce and OF Agriculture to call a
special conference of interested
groups to devise a practical plan Of
action. His message dealt with the
economic situation In certain wheat
growing sections Of the Northwest.
described as "a serious though happi-
ly localized emergency" which should
receive the attention OF the Federal
Government. II is expected that the
conference will agree upon a plan for
the formation of corporation
financed by private funds through
which the Indebtedness OF the farmers
in the affected sections can be re-
funded while they are adopting a
system OF diversified agriculture. The
proposal includes revolving fund Of
$4,000. 900, to be administered by the
War Finance Corporation and used
for the purchase Of live stock and
seed.
The tentative plan calls for loans
up to 500 to each farmer who is
hard-pressed for money.
