tenn of export debentures in order
to extend tariff benefits to farm
products of which there may be an
expOrtable surplus, was the second.
That a national land policy de-
signed to check uneconomic agri-
cultural expansion be fixed was an
other recommendation, while the
fourth was the establishment of a
comprehensive system of co-operat-
i've marketing and other stabilizing
agencies, the Governor said.
Governor Robinson then outlined
the projects upon which the Ma
tional Grange voted favorably.
These included the ratification by
the United States of the kellogg
treaties and the entrance by the
United States into the World Court
under proper safeguards.
Continuing, the speaker then out
lined four projects to which the Ma
tional Grange is opposed. These he
listed as the absorption of remain
ing unused natural resources by
private parties; any decrease in the
effectiveness of present immigra-
lAOA1 CoIA lCLlNG laws Tie WedkGU-
ing of existing laws, Federal and
State, for the control of the traffic
in narcotics; all Federal regulation
of motor busses and trucks upon
the public highways.
Sees Strong Organization
Touching on the Delaware grange
the Governor said that the organ
ization was stronger today than
the present master has ever known
it, due, largely to the intense inter-
est of the members who one year
ago pledged to work toward increas-
ed membership"
That the State Grange, if it wish
rs to grow in usefulness must plant
oranges in many corners of the state
where no grange is now known, was
suggested by the Governor after he
lad welcomed four new oranges
nto the State organization.
Governor Robinson touched upon
'oad building, the continuance of
which he said was "tO the joy and
of both farmers and
ownspeople."
