FARM BILL NOT
ACCEPTABLE TO
GOVERNOR smith
Declares McNary-Haugen
Bill Contrary to the
Democratic Platform.
By PERCY 3. SCOTT
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent }


NEW YORK;, Aug. Ex-Governor
Alfred f. Smith said today that the
McNary.Haugen bill, specifically, is
mot acceptable" to him as a form
of farm relief.
He reiterated, however, his state
ment of yesterday that he favored
farm relief which will assess the
cost of marketing surpluses against
commodities to be benefited, which
is in line with the equalization fec
principle in the McNaryHaugen
bill.
The governor explained that the
McNary- Haugen bill is contrary to
the Democratic platform adopted at
Houston.
In divorcing the McNary-Haugen
bill from Democratic farm relief
plans it is believed the governor
desires to get away from the fire of
opposition directed against that spe-
cific measure.
He plans to continue his farm re-
lief discussions to formulate def
mite Democratic plan.
The governor announced today he
will confer at Albany, probably next
week with Senator Thomas j.
Walsh, of Montana, who was a con
tender in the pre-convention cam
paien against Smith, but withdrew
in the New York governors favor
after the California primaries.
1t is also expected that Smith
will answer the charges of William
Allen White, Kansas publisher, con
cerning Smith S "Tammany rec
ord'' from Albany next week.
