Whimsical criticism of extra -curricu-

fail to take advantage of their oppor-

Chief Justice Taft yesterday in an ad-

DEbENTURE PLAN
DEBATED IN FORUM
Brookhart Urges Proposal in
Radio Address as Fort
~ Attacks 1t.

The export debenture plan of farm
relief, set up by the Senate, knocked
down by the House, and now the center
of a perplexed conference committee IS
attention, was extolled and denounced
over the radio hast night by two Repub-
lican farm leaders in Congress.
Senator Smith w. Brookhart OF
Iowa, who disagreed with President
Hoover recently because of the Execu-
tive's announced opposition to the plan
urged the merits of the plan in debate
with Representative Franklin w. Fort
of New Jersey, who is regarded as 9
Hoover spokesman In the House.
The two leaders spoke over the Co.
umoia Broadcasting System in the Ma
tlonal Radio Forum arranged by The
Evening Star and sponsored by the
broadcasting system.
Hoover's Work Is Cited.
Senator Brookhart cited the opera
t1ons of Mr.. Hoover as food admins
traitor during and after the World War
as precedents for the contemplated op-
Grafton of the debenture plan and as
proof that the plan would be a sue
cess.
Mr.. Fort asserted that the plan "is
ndistinguishable in its effects from
straight subsidy or bounty, but is inf
nitely more complicated in its opera
lions and nowhere near as direct in its
effect upon price"
Adoption of the plan immediately
would destroy all dealing in commodi-
ties for future delivery, reduce the
market to cash basis for immediate
delivery in this country and endanger
the whole structure for handling com
modities, he declared.
Railroad Subsidy" Drawn In.
Attacking objections to the plan be-
cause it is a subsidy Brookhart asserted
that Government subsidies were grant
ed the railroads, the banks and the
manufactures given a protective tariff
The direct cause of what he described
as gigantic discrimination" against
the farmers are found mainly in the
laws of Congress. he declared, citing
particularly the subsidy given railroads
IF the farmers could get law that
would fix their values and their rates
of return, with Treasury guarantee
like that, they would get what the Re-
publican platform promised" he as
serted.
The Republican party won the agri-
cultural States by pledging farm re-
lief, he declared. When the party bill
appeared" he said, 'it substantially pro-
vided for nothing but loans to co-opera-
tives" That plan was tried by the War
Finance Corporation and the Inter
mediate Credit Bank and failed, he
said. Such bill, he declared, was a
reputation of the Republican party's
platform pledge.
Calls Debenture Plan Simple.
OF the debenture plan he said:
1T is simple plan, easy of admin
iStration without new governmental
machinery. The Treasury issues GER
tificate of debenture to the exporter of
farm surpluses equal to one-half the
tariff rate, and on cotton, which has no
tariff, 2 cents per pound. The Treas
ury will receive these debenture cer-
tificates the same as cash in the pay
ment of all tariff duties. The effect
will be to raise the price of all farm
products that have an exportable sur
plus. 1t will not be confined to the
