HOOVER SMASHES
DEBE NTURES IN
AN OPEN LETTER
Says Direct Subsidy to
Farmers Will Not
Be Allowed
Fight Over Fake Relief
Tariff Bounty Aid to
Middlemen Only

WASHINGTON, April 21s-Presi-
dent Hoover denounced the export
debenture farm relief plan, now the
center of senate controversy, as "a
direct subsidy from the United
States treasury" in letter to
Chairman McNary of the senate ag-
riculture committee, made public az
the White House tonight.
Hoover makes it plain that no
matter how much the farmer may
be suffering, no "direct subsidies"
are going to be given to him. Such
useful assistance is only for big
business, the trusts.
The committee has already draft
ed a bill which includes the deben-
ture plan, and the house of repre-
sentatives has motion on the floor
to introduce this plan into the agri-
cultural bill now before it.
The debenture plan is not actually
a subsidy to the farmers, all au-
thorities on the matter agree At
most it will make a little more
money for the middleman and brok-
ers who handle the export trade in
grain, and possibly reduce the tariff
a little on imports. 1t is a scheme
for granting certificates to export
ers of grain, giving them or their
assignees the right to import duty
free half the value of the export of
grain.

revolutionary crisis fosters the fer
ment amongst the urban poor and
other petty bourgeois sections re-
duced by imperialism to the last
stages of poverty and despair.
Imperialism is intensifying its
terror. The shooting of strikers, the
physical determination of insurgent
peasants was followed by the un-
exampled provocation of bitter
communal religious feud in the
streets of Bombay, with the object
of throwing the proletarian ranks
into disarray and breaking down the
ever-growing general strike through
out the country.
The provocation failed. The pro-
letariat replied by declaring a gen
eral strike in the town, by a mill
tant demonstration in the streets CT

"The very nature of the public

Unless the public service commits

utilities merger, street car and in
terurban lines involved may cease
operation without any attempt
having been made to restore their
ability to support themselves. -
This was the challenge hurled to
the commissioners from the witness
stand at the merger hearing today
by Robert M. Feustel, insults In
diana spokesman from Ft. Wayne.
These lines include the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern and
| it's subsidiaries.
Feustel took the stand as an ex-
pert on the merger plan and offered
as advantages for the merger.
Better service from all properties
involved.
Rehabilitation of the traction
lines.
Abandonment only Of those that
can not be made pay, after q fair
trial.
Possibility of lower rates.
If approval is given, he assured
the commissioners there will be no
rate increases, attempt will be made
to rehabilitate the rundown trac-
ton systems and no paying property
will be made to bear the burden OF
a non-paying one.
Before Feustel took the stand
Harvey Harmon, former public serv-
ice commissioner, who at one time
had the case in his Jurisdiction, pre-
sented a motion to dismiss on be-
half of the indianapolis Federation
of Clubs and the Utility Service
Bureau, Inc.
He supported the motion with a
brief. passed largely on the opinion

toSh by Attorney General James NJ.

ed, and produced figures to sup
port his contention.
Several interurbans are involved
in this proposed merger" FeusteI
continued. "They were built back
in the days when Indiana led the
country in the construction and de-
velopment of interurban railway
systems. But, that was in the days
before paved roads, private auto
mobiles, motor coaches and trucks" !"
He cited the losses on once profit
able interurban systems.
Basis of the merger plea he set
forth as follows:
1.-THE proposed merger is ad-
vocated on the grounds of improved
service and not of possible rate re-
ductions. 1t will not, however, cause
rate increases"
The Harmon brief set out nine
teen reasons why the petition should
be dismissed. These include the
charge that it is in violation of the
antitrust laws, the state securities
law and not within commission
jurisdiction.
Unlike service and unparallel lines
can not be merged, it argued, citing
the attorney-general's opinion.
Past mergers, where these things
were involved, also we're attacked
as having been approved Illegally.
Incorporators of the Utility Serv-
ice Bureau, Inc, are o. L. Mohler,

sist it's execution. These things
reveal a moral awakening both in
the people and in officials which
lies at the very foundation of the
rule of law.
"We not only are at peace WITH
all the world, but the foundations
for future peace are being strength
ened substantially" the President
declared in summarizing our inter-
national relations. The Kellogg
BRAND pact has raised S great
moral standard" under which "a
rev world outlook" has been inaug~
urated.
Speaking on prohibition, the
President said:
"There should be an immediate
concentration of responsibility and
strengthening of enforcement agen-
cies of the federal government, by
transfer to the department Of JUS
tice of the federal functions of de-
lection and to a considerable degree
of prosecution, which now are
lodged in the prohibition bureau
in the treasury.
COdification of Laws
"At the same time the control OF
the distribution of industrial alco-
hol and legalized beverages should
remain in the treasury.
Provision should be made for re-
lief of congestion in the federal
courts by modifying and simplify
ing the procedure for dealing with
the large volume of pretty prosecu-
tions under various federal acts.
There should be codification of
the laws, relating to prohibition, TO
avoid the necessity, which now exc
lists, of resorting to more than twen-
ty-five statutes, enacted at various
times over forty years. Technical
defects in these statutes that have
been disclosed should be cured.

man Borden wasn't putting on any
