HOOVER TO FRAME
FARM AID PROGRAM
Early Action, if Nominated,
Expected as Result of
Talk With McNary.
By the Assoria,ed Pre- :.

Administration leaders. including
Secretary Hoover. Republican presiden-
tial candidate. are giving considerable
attention TO the farm relief question in
respect to the approaching campaign.
No statement or definite move Is
expected to be made in this direction
until the Republican convention IN
Kansas City selects the party nominee
but activities here indicate that there
is no doubt IN the minds of the admin
istration group that this is problem
Of immediate concern to the party.
Significance Is attached in this con-
rection to the action Of Secretary
Hoover in calling into conference this
week Senator McNary. Republican. OF
Oregon. co-author of the agricultural
legislation which met strong veto
from President Coolidge.
Early Pronouncement Seen.
It is believed in Washington that II
Mr.. Hoover. who nov has a lead in the
number of delegates to the convention.
should win the nomination he would
lose no time in outlining a farm pro-
grani. Neither Mr. McNsry nor the
Secretary. however. has given any indi-
cation OF the purposes or the results of
their conferences. The Oregon Fenator
who is regarded as the farm spokesman
at the Capitol. will not attend the Re-
publican convention. but his State has
given its delegates to Mr. Hoover.
It has been said authoritativelv that
the Secretary was not consulted BY
the President in the framing of the
recent veto of the McEarv-Haugen bill.
But 1t is known that Mr. Hoover is one
Of thHsa ou1osed TO the CONSULTATION fee
1rinctp'e which wss declared tn be the
| F"art cf the vstoed bill. md which drew
me strongest objection from the
President.
Additional significance is attached tn
the Hoover-McEary conference because
of the apparent break between the
Senator ard President Coolidge. In
nresenting the veto of the President to
the Senate. McEary asked that il be
oyerriden. He told the Senate that he
had indicated to Mr. Coolidge before
/ the veto was written that he would con-
slider move to put through a b.;
without the equalization fee in a new
effort to aid the farm situation. He
declared on the floor, however. that the
Presidents message which included
some harsh adiectives. had foreclosed
even that avenue OF relief"
Presidents Move Dropped.
Other Senators are known to have
shared the resentment of McEary over
the veto message and when rumors
reached the Capitol tHat Mr.. Coolidge
wished TO send a message to Congress
urging adoption Of a farm relief pro-
gram along lines he had suggested in
his annual message. leaders turned
against II and the effort was dropped
Senator McNary has not given any
thought to the future legislative fight
for the equalization fee How far the
administration or administration candi-
dale would be willing TO go with him
on farm relief or how far McNary
would be willing to go on a COMPROMISE
in view OF his effort to override the
veto OF the McNary- -Haugen bill Is
problematical. McNary is silent.
