postwar depP PSsion. The farmer

'hiS own salvation"
Mr.. Coolidge reiterated some of his
prime arguments expressed in last
years McNary- -Haugen veto state
ment, urged curtailment of surplus
acreage and finally proposed federal
board of men experienced. in mar
keting to assist cooperatives in orderly
marketing and handling surpluses not
due to 'willful overproduction, with
provision for low interest revolving
loan fund. In short, the government
would help the cooperatives establish
the farmer on a sound business
basis. Meanwhile, the president held,
material tariff reduction would be
disastrous to the farmer.
Two years ago, the president said
Muscle Shoals should be developed
primarily for nitrates. Since then,
Mr.. Coolidge has come around to
the contention of Senator Norris that
nitrateS cannot be successfully pro-
duced at Muscle Shoals owing to new
and cheaper methods and that the
project is now mostly concerned
with power"
He agrees with Norris-and thus
tdisagrees with the American Farm
Bureau Federation = that Muscle
Shoals can best aid agriculture if
its power revenues are applied to
fertilizer development instead of it's
obsolete equipment.
Two years ago, Mr.. Coolidge was
well satisfied with tie condition OF
national defense and warned against
competitive ornaments. This year,
the subject was moved up from page
13 to page and the president
stressed the need of adequate militar'
and naval preparation. To meet our
naval responsibilities, we need "a very
substantial sea armament" with air.

more airplane carriers and "a ma

should not engage in competition, but
everything necessary to guard our
interests must be done.
