PROBE AGAIN HEARS.
OF BARLOW CLAIM
Senate Lobby COMMITTEE
Told of Inquiry Into
Controversy in Cuba.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PRESS.
The claims of Joseph Barlow against
the Cuban government, heard for years
in oficial circles in Washington and
Havana, were mentioned again today
before the Senate lobby committee as
it resumed hearings after a recess.
H. g. Lakin, president Of the Cuba
Co. Of New York, sugar importers, said
that he had recently returned from
Cuba, where he had inquired into the
claims. Lakin testified that he was &C
companied by John H. Carroll, Wash.
the United States Sugar Association and
Hicklin Yates, until recently an en-
ploye Of the lobby committee.
Carroll, in previous testimony before
the lobby committee, said that he had
been employed by the Cuba Co. to
work toward a better understanding be-
tween the United States and Cuba. He
said claims by Barlow against the
Cuban government and other charges
had led to the fear on the part Of sugar
interests that there might be interven-
ton in Cuba or disturbances that would
result in losses to them.
Yates was employed by Carroll, Lakin
testified, to investigate the title to Ha-
vana property claimed by Barlow.
Chairman Caraway said Yates had left
the committee without notice.
Lakin testified he had brief confer
ence with President Machado of Cuba,
but the tariff was not discussed.

the Farm Board program.

in the Farm Board program.
THE Farm Board" said Nye, has
come to grips with a farm foe of great
strength and influence. The board has
taken the side of the farmer In no
uncertain manner and fear now that
the board desperately needs some indi-
cation of confidence from the great
army Of unorganized farm people and
their friends.
with this warfare comes the real
test for the Hoover administration and
the real test for the Farm Board"
Nye related the program Of Chairman
Legge of the Farm Board proposing a
national grain-marketing organization
under control of the farmers and owned
by the farmers. He said that last week
julius Barnes, an intimate of President
Hoover, and other grain representa-
tives" were sent here and told to do
their stuff" He said that despite their
protest. Legge was going ahead with his
program.
AS Nye lauded the work Of the Farm
Board, Senator Norbeck, Republican,
South Dakota, heatedly replied that IF
this propaganda for the board continues
we will never get the equalization fee"
The North Dakotan retorted that he
was an advocate Of the fee. but in its
absence he was going to stand by plans
for such improvement in agriculture
as could be obtained under existing law.

plane parts from the United States.

An amendment to the Consti-

eminent in time of war is pro-
posed in a resolution prepared by
Representative Patman, Demo-

THE American Legion cannot
carry into execution its plans to
take the profit out of war until
this amendment is adopted" he
said. Under our present Con-
stitution man power can be
drafted without profits to the men
who do the fighting, as was done
during the recent war, but the
Constitution provides that just
compensation must be paid to
private property or capital"
