HOOVER FARM AID
VIEWS ARE SOUGHT
Dickinson Seeks Hyde's Ap.
pearance Before House
Agricultural Group.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover was requested today
by Representative Dickinson, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, to have Secretary Hyde
appear before the House agriculture
committee and explain the Presidents
views on farm relief.
Mr.. Dickinson said that in view of
the fact that the Chief Executives ideas
would not reach Congress normally un-
til his message is read at the outset OF
the special session, 1t would be ex-
tremely helpful if the committee In its
deliberations before that time could
have some specific knowledge Of Mr..
Hoover's views.
The President while not intending to
dictate the terms of the farm relief
measure to be considered at the COM
ing session. is ready at any time to dis
cuss the agricultural situation with
interested members of the Senate and
House. but he has indicated that there
will be no public explanation of his
views until his message to Congress is
read.
Although he declined to reveal Mr..
Hoover's reaction to his proposal Dick
inson said after, the conference that he
was hopeful the President would ap-
prove his suggestion.
Legislative Program Aired.
The legislative program for the extra
session of Congress also was discussed
today by President Hoover and Repre-
sentative Tilson of Connecticut, Repub-
lican leader of the House, who said
afterwards that it still was the inten-
ton to limit legislation very sharply
and that the work in hand should be
completed within two or three months.
Discussing reports that ne might be
appointed Governor General Of tho
Philippines TO succeed Henry L. Stim-
son. Secretary of State, the Republican
leader said that as important as he
considered that post, he would not give
up his present position. He did not say
that the appointment has been offered
to him.
President Hoover had a rather large
calling list today discussing variety
Of subjects with members of the House
and Senate and other visitors. He had
an engagement to receive the Belgian

while 1921 figures cited were an actual

he had been furnished the 1928 figures
by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics

was not peculiar to the present govern
