Farmers Predicament Blamed
on Government FavOrit-
ISM by Senator Thaddeus
Caraway Of Arkansas
Speaker Defends Bloc Sys-
tenn as BEING Old US Con
gress Itself

st. Louis, Nov. l6.--(R-The cot
ton growing south and the grain pro-
ducing middlewest got together to-
day for two-day session through
the medium of representatives OF
farmer organizations of Ia states, six
Of them southern, to formulate Joint
demands for congressional relief for
agriculture.
It was the first time that the two
great agricultural sections ever had
reached the point Of sitting together
and the move, sought for months by
the grain producers, finally was in
fluenced largely by the condition in
g heavy over-production of cotton
which has sent prices tumbling.
Governmental favoritism was term
ed the cause Of the farmers predica-
ment in q speech prepared for de-
livery by Thaddeus Caraway, United
States senator for Arkansas, one of
the four speakers on today's program
The others were: Frank o. Lowden
former governor Of Illinois; DR.. B. W
kilgore OF Raleigh, N. c., chairman
Of the board Of the American Cotton
Growers Exchange, and A. p. Wal
dauer: Of MSmphis, Tenn, attorney
for the Tennessee cotton Growers
Cooperative association.
William Hirth Presides
The speeches, with the selection of
permanent chairman and the APP
pcintment of a resolutions commit
tee. completed today's program after
the meeting was called to order by
William Hirth Of Columbia, Mo.
farm paper publisher and a national
ly known leader in agricultural or.
ganizations.
"There is no mystery as to the
cause Of the collapse Of agriculture,
said Senator Caraway. every one
who thinks knows the cause. Had
there been collapse in industry, in
transportation, in commerce and in
agriculture from 1920 until today
We might have thought it due to
world conditions. II prosperity had
come to agriculture as it came to in
dustry, transportation and to com.
merce, we could have ascribed it to
world conditions.
"But when prosperity came to COM
Merce, to industry. to TRANSFORMATION,
and bankruptcy to agriculture, we
likewise knew the cause. When pros
perity comes to one section and re-
mains in that section, and poverty
reigns supreme in another section Of
the country, we also know the cause.
We know 1t to be due to- legisla,
ti0n-to governmental favoritism."
There 10 no complaint against the
prosperity Of the industrial east, Of
transportation and commerce, he said
adding, I'VE ask merely that agricpl.
ture shall be permitted to share in
It, not 10 lessen It."

SITE OF COMMERCE

at Discussion.

Location of the Department of
Commerce Building was under discus
sion most of the time at a meeting
Yesterday of the Public Buildings
Commission, attended also by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Dewey,
Secretary of Commerce Hoover. AS
sistant Secretary Of Agriculture Dun
lap, and Charles Moore. chairman of
the Fine Arts Commission. No deci-
sion was reached.
The principal question now before
the buildings commission, according to
Acting Chairman Maj. l.. S. Grant,
3rd. is whether the commission can
find a site suitable for the whole de-
partment or what can be done"
For the present. Maj. Grant said,
the commission will continue with
study of the location between Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets, Pennsyl-
vania avenue and b streets. Tentative
plans will be drawn by the Supervising
Architects office for study of the
commission, he said, but no final de.
cision may be reached on this $10,-

until the different points OF view can

The Public Buildings Commission
first proposed a site on the Mall west
of the National Museum. The Fine

southeast Of the Treasury Depart
ment on Pennsylvania avenue. and
there appears TO be q growing senti-
ment for a site bounded by Seventh
and Tenth streets. Pennsylvania ave
nue. and the Mall. including the pres
ent site of Center Market. All were
mentioned at the meeting, Maj. Grant
! said.
The question of relocation of the
farmers market. the Building Com

municipal authorities. according to
Mai Grant.
