WASHINGTON, April %. U.P) -
Leading drys were enthusiastic to-
day in their comment on President

the five and ten law said: Il
am delighted that he made the
speech in New York and | hope it
will do a great deal OF good. /
have not read the text, but from
what | have heard of it second hand
it expresses my sentiments exactly.
Sen. Boral, Repn., Idaho, made
the following comment:
owe must, if we are to continue
a government of law, realize that
the way to get rid of laws we do not
like is to repeal them. That every
citizen has IL right to advocate, but
while the law is there, We must re
spect and enforce it.
Borah declared the situation re-
garding enforcement of laws today
is such that it becomes necessary
to organize the nation tor their
preservation and enforcement.
Other comments included: Sen. King,
Dem, Utah: i" Constitutional laws
should be obeycd and the executive
departments of the government
should be supported in their efforts
to execute the laws enacted ny the

posed.

levels, dependence on forri.y mar

to remedy these defects, he said,
but he frankly admitted there were
other important farm problems
which could be met only by a long
time agriculture policy.
The chairman told of the $500,
100000 revolving fund to be creat
for use of a federal farm board Of
- members to be appointed by the
President from each of the land
