export corporation with FIVE directors,
who may be nominated by the prinCi-
pal farm organizations and appointed
by the President. The capital stock
of. the corporation, 100000 900, is
supplied by the Government.
Bonds may be issued to aggregate
not exceeding four times the capital
stock, and loans may be made to
farmers or cooperative associations
within the United States or to persons
outside the United States for the pur-
pose of exporting the surplus above
domestic requirements of wheat, corn,
oats. rye. rice, cotton, cottonseed. to.
bacco, beet, cattle and hogs.
Bans Equalization Fee.
THE loans are to be made at a suf-
terest on the bonds and the expenses
Of operation, save salaries, which are
paid by the Government.
An outstanding difference between
this substitute and the committee
amendment Is that the substitute does
not contemplate the levying of an
equalization fee or other tax or charge
on production. 1t is to me incon-
ceivable that such a provision can
receive the approval of the farmers
of the Nation. To give any board the
power to levy unlimited tribute from
every producer will provoke resent.
ment and opposition from those whom
the legislation is designed to benefit.
The farmers themselves. probably will
not submit to it when fully informed. "

seek to enforce it. you will have al
most a revolution within 80 days" he
said.
The Vice Presidents name has
been attached to this measure.
hope to God the Dawes plan in Europe
is not as rotten as this
Senator Reed insisted that a kind
of agricultural slavery would be estab-
lished in this country if the bill be
passed. He pictured the farmer as
having been Disseminated against
during the war. The farmers prices
were limited, he said, during that
period, while the manufacturers were
getting the highest prices they could
extort.
Scores Hoover's Actions.
"A gentleman was imported here
from England" said Senator Reed,
Herbert Hoover, by name, and he set
himself to the task of depriving the
farmer of the prices which he might
justly demand"
Senator Reed criticized the licensing
power entrusted to Mr.. Hoover at
that time and the operations of the
Grain Export Corporation which re-
suited in a S70000,0o0 profit to the
Government. which Senator Reed in
sisted was made out OF the farmers.
"A more damnable outrage was
never perpetrated." said Senator Reed,
and Herbert Hoover sits in the cab

grace of everybody. During the war
you robbed the farmer by law and you
are robbing him today by law. There
fore almost anything that is econ
onically sound would be justified
Senator Reed declared that the Nc
Nary Haughen plan was not econ
cseically sound.
