PROGRESSIVES PLAN
TO OPPOSE CHRISTIAN
Supporters of Appointment to Fed
eral Trade Body Confident
of Strength.
FIGHT APT TO DEVELOP
Former Secretary's Qualifications
Questioned.

The nomination of George Il. Chris
tian, jr., secretary to the late I'resi-
dent Harding. to be a member of
the Federal Trade Commission, will
meet with opposition in the Senate,
it was said today His Supporters
however, expressed the belief that
his nomination will be confirmed.
The opposition to Mr.. Christian
will come from members of the pro-
gressive group in the Senate, who are
contending that a progressive should
have been appointed to the Commits
sion, and some of whom are ques-
tioning the qualifications of Mr..
Christian.
The nomination of Mr. Christian
was referred, through an error, it
was said today, to the Senate COM
merce committee. AS soon as Senator
Jones of Washington, chairman of
the commerce committee, discovered
the error, however. the nomination
was sent to the committee on inter-
tion over nominations to the Federal
Trade Commission. The Senate in
terstate commerce committee is head
ed by senator Smith of South Caro-
lima, democrat. There are a mum be T
of the progressive group on this
committee, including Senator La Fol
lettc of Wisconsin.
1t was predicted today that there
would be some democratic support, as
well as regular republican support,
for the Christian nomination.

FARM EXPORT BILL
URGED BY WALLACE

Enactment of tho McNary-Haugen
farm export corporation bill as a
means of stabilizing prices on farm
products was urged before the Senate
agricultural committee today by Sec
retary Wallace.
IF we can find some way to bring
about fair relationship betveen the
price of agricultural products and
other things, the government would
he justified in adopting the plaI."
said Mr. Wallace. while tie prices
of some farm products are nigh. l.
than they were before the war. th,.
purchasing power of Il number Sf
farm products is lower than was the
case before the war. Prices OF ac-
ricultural commodities dropped. while
prices Of other commodities were on
the increase.
This plan is directed to an effort
to establish a fair relationship be-
tween what the farmer sells and
what he has to buy"
Chairman Norris suggested that
the Secretary explain details of the
bill, which was drawn after colisulta-
tion with administration officials, but
he said he had not given il the care
full study necessary for a minute de-
scription.
our purpose" he added. was to
get in concrete form a measure en-
bodying the general idea and leave
