COMING To

notes
Meantime Both Parties Facs
Inability TO Keep Their
Election Pledges
BY W1LLIAM HARD.

The farmer is coming back to
The corridors Of Congress next
month III the role Of d ruthless
collector of promissory notes.
His pockets are bullying with
these notes. They were given to-
him BY the Republican cunven-
tion last summer in Cleveland
and By the Democratic convention
last summer In New York.
The farmer, it seems, took these
notes seriously. They are num-
srous and they are large. The
efforts Of the farmer to collect
on them from. the approaching
Short session" of Congress will
give to that session some Of its
most serious and some of its most
ludicrous moments.
Each Party Pledged

tons which it win find itself much
embarrassed to deliver-Or even to
try to- deliver.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, nevertheless, Is going 20
demand delivery.
The scenes which will ensue when
this delivery is ATTEMPTED, or
evaded, win provide many columns
Of intense drama and also OF high
and low comedy.
The President, it is profoundly
believed, is unalterably opposed to
taking the Government into buying
and selling on behalf of the faRi1ler.
The McNary-Haugen bill for TAX
ing the Government into that sort
We thing was defeated in the last
session of this Congress by com.
bination, or concurrence, of Eastern
Republicans and. Of Eastern and
Southern Democrats.
The legislative record Of tho
Democrats is heavily against such
proposals as the McNary-Haugen
bill.
Nevertheless, in an interval be-
tween fights about the Ku KluK
Khan and the League. Of Nations
In Madison Square Garden in New
York last June, the Democrats
managed in their convention plat
form to- indorss the idea Of tan
export corporation In order that the
exportable surplus tof farm prod
