CAUSES ACTION
Leaders in Congress Hope to

WORKING OUT DETAILS
President Coolidge and Secre-
tary Wallace Called Upon,
In The Effort

Washington, May 90 by the A. P.)
W Work on new farm relief plan,
simpler than that embodied in the
McNary Haugen bill, was pressed
today by members of the Senate
and House farm bloc with the inten-
ton OF having it ready for intro
duction as substitute for the pend
ing measure if they find such action
warranted.
Ghe sponsors of the substitute
plan have become convinced that
the McNary Haugen bill, which
would set up a 100000 900 corpor-
alton to market surplus farm prod
ucts abroad, Will be defeated, or at
least that Senate discussion of it, if
1t passes the House, will be so pro-
tracted that adjournment of Con-
gress by June Z will be prevented.
The proposed substitute is being
drafted, it is said, in such a way as
to win support in both chambers
to insure enactment before the poll
tical conventions, with its chief OBJ
Ject being encouragement for the
sale abroad of surplus wheat, per-
haps other grains, and meat.
Farmers would be paid a bounty
under provisions being considered,
and administration would be placed
in the hands of the secretary of
agriculture, who would be author
lied to use funds of the War FL
nance Corporation and possibly of
the United States Grain Corpor-
alton.
The tentative suggestions have
been outlined to President Coolidge
and also have been discussed with
Secretary Wallace. The President,
as in the case. of the McNary- Hau-
gen bill, has not committed himself
on the plan but some of those en-
gagged in drafting it have expressed
confidence that it would receive his
approval.

END OF BONUS

Emphasize Other Program
Features Says Streeter
BANQUET is HELD
Legion and Auxiliary in Get
Together Banquet Enter
tain State Officers

The American Legion is glad the
adjusted compensation fight is over.
Forces which have attacked the Le-
gion because of the bonus fight will
now be able to see some of the many
constructive things the Legion has
been accomplishing, Frank S. Street
er of Linton, State Commander of the
Legion, told members of the Legion,
War. Mothers and the Auxiliary at
the annual get-together banquet OF
the organizations, in the Mckenzie
Hotel last night.
The bonus fight was not started
by the Legion, Mr.. Streeter said. The
Legion at it's first st. Louis caucus
did not discuss the bonus and at it's
first Minneapolis convention declined
to take any action, saying the matter
could be left to the discretion of
Congress. 1t was not until after a
flood of bonus bills had been intl o.
duced and it was generally accepted
by leaders in Washington that Il
bonus bill would be passed, that the
Legion took any action he said, and
this action was taken when leaders in
Congress asked the Legion to make
recommendation.
The Legion has a broad program,
he said, it includes first of all, seeing
that justice is meted out to the dis
abled veterans of the World War.
1t includes also, he said:
An Americanization program that
~ ,,,+o
of the United States.
A community advancement pro-
gram, that offers to the Legion posts
a remarkable opportunity for doing
public good in all parts of the nation.
A program to prevent wars in the
future, but not at the expense Of
national honor.
Insistence upon program of rea-
sonable preparedness for the safety
of the nation, and to minimize the
cost of money and lives in war, if
war does come.
An aerial disarmament program,
because it is now recognized, he
said, that if war came it would be
won or lost in the air, and many ma
tions are engaged in race for aer-
ial supremacy.
Furtherance of education in the
country.
Binding closer the ties of com
radeship formed during the war.
Passing of Bonus Fight
"Many forces who have fought the
Legion because of its adjusted ccm-
pensation stand have spread the idea
that the legion was organized simp-
ly for raid on the United Estates
Treasury" said Mr.. Stretter. "We
know that is not the case. The Le-
gion was formed and had broad
program before the compensation
fight became so hot, and it would
have continued on its broad program
had the compensation fight been lost.
1t is relief to have this fight out
of the way, so that many people who
were blinded to the work of the or
ganization can now admit there is
some good in it,"
Mr.. Streeter declared there was not
a piece of legislation on the Statute
books for the aid Of disabled veter-
ans that did not have its inception
with the Legion.
With regard to the Americaniza-
tion program, he called attention to
