BROOKHART MAKES DEFINITE REPLY
Reiterat@ Charges in Answer to
 Meredith

Washington, Iowa. Sept. 2. P-A tary of agriculture E. T. Meredith, recent statement by former secer- tary of agriculture E. T. Meredith, charging that Colonel Smith W. Brookhart had been guilty of mis- representations concerning meet ing of the Federal Reserve board in 1920 brought a rejoinder from the Republican senatorial nominee to- day.
 Speaking at the Dutch Creek fair, Colonel Brookhart declared that agriculture had been deflated six times as much in proportion as other business. He charged that this gigantic discrimination against agriculture is due to the secret pro- ceedngs at the federal reserve board. the advisory council and the class A directors of the Federal Reserve bank, and either to the incompe- tence of the secretary of agriculture in his failure to protect farmers against this calamity, or to his all lance with the Wall street crowd
 This conclusion" he said, lis challenged by E. T. Meredith, who was then secretary of agriculture. Meredith was not at the meeting that deflated the farmers I have never said he was in that meeting, but he was secretary of agriculture. It was his duty to know about that meeting so vitally affecting all of agriculture, and to protect the farmers from the calamity it planned.
 T have never said the meeting was secret, but the vital part of the proceedings that did the damage to agriculture weer sealed up in secrecy from the farmers, but efficiently tipped off to the big financial in- stitutions."
 He referred to a statement by Meredith that a summary of the recommendation made by Governor
  board in 1920 has been published in various newspapers and said: Gov ernor Harding's address referred to was published and the fact that a general deflation policy was advised was also published. But on page 14, Governor Harding invited each di- rector to give his view on the dis count rate in his respective district. This part of the proceedings was kept secret.
 This meeting not only advised a restriction and deflation of loans and prices, but through nearly fifty pages of the proceedings considered this method of forcing such defla- ton by raising the discount rate. That method was not discussed in Governor Harding's speech and 1t was not published.
 ''The secretary of agriculture should have known all about it, and if he did not, 1t was a case of the grossest and most reprehensible in competence in agricultural history
