Says Farmers of
Midwest Lay
Blame on President

Des Moines. Ia, June 28-(P)-
President Charles Hearst, of the
Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, today
Informed President Coolidge that
farmers of the midwest charged the
administration with "full response
bility for failure to keep the promise
made to our people" in 1924 wnen the
Republican party pledged itself TO
economic equality of agriculture and
industry.
In telegram sent to the President,
and statement issued here, Hearst
described farm relief proposals still
pending in Congress as makeshifts
and proposals ito hand the farmers
legislation that will be inadequate
and In no way meet the requirements
OF the greatest present-day national
problem" He charged defeat of the
McNary-Haugen principle to a group
Wnlcn ne said was now enjoying the
advantages of the protective system
and was unwilling to permit extern
sion of that system to include agri-
culture.
Hearst said his plans already were
under way for a renewal of the farm
relief fight
His message read:
Reports by western newspapers
OF your stand on agricultural legis-
lation in favoring the Fess amend
ment to the cooperative marketing
bill are sincerely regretted by our
citizens sln general and our farmers
IN particular.
This proposal does not address
! itself to the fundamental REQUIRE
ments necessary to rehabilitato the
agricultural industry.
The agricultural problem has been
given the most searching investiga-
ton and painstaking consideration
by the most capable and practical
analysis familiar with the situation.
! studying 1t from every angle and they
! protest against the proposal to hand
the farmer legislation that will be in
adequate, ineffective and in no wsy
| meet the requirements of this, the
greatest present-day national prob
lem.
The farmer resents the defeat of
the practical, effective proprosal for
adequate farm relief and the substi.
tutlng in its stead of ineffective, in
adequate measures that do not
squarely meet the problem and
which they consider a makeshift.
THE farmers are convinced that
the definite pledge of economic
equality with other industry made
in 1924 Is not being kept and charge
the administration with the full re-
sponsibility of the failure to keep
| this promise to our people,"
Hearst issued a statement saving
the defeat of tho McNary- Haughen
measure had served only to intensity
the demand for such a bill.

young was that OF M. Francois Marsal,
1t lasted five days in June, 1924.

unlimited powers bill. by virtue of
which Joseph Caillaux would have
had the authority to take whatever
steps he deemed necessary to save

ratify the British and American debt
accords, regardless Of what Parliament
did, contributory causes are to be
found in the political composition of
the French Parliament, the economic
situation provoked by an unfavorable
trade balance and the inability of
no fewer than 10 finance ministers,
including M. Caillaux, to provide suffi-
cient new revenue to pay current as
well as potential expenditures, stabilize
the franc and pay the debts.
