west for Herbert Hoover. unless the
export debenture proposition was ap-
proved by the administration as
either part of the pending farm re-
lief or tariff bills.
The suggestion that the debenture
plan ultimately might be attached to
the tariff measure has been advanced
by a number of other senator's and Is
known to have considerable sympathy
among house leaders.
The Iowan declared that he now

brookhart's suggestion of a third
party was made after he had criti-
Fc1zed the statement OF President
hoover made public at the white
mousse last night which described the
oeoenture plan as q subsidy" which,
would aid spectators and ruin the
farmers.

president was in very great error
when he pronounced this bill recon-.
mended by the conference report to
be the most important agency ever
set up in the government to assist an
industry"

senate and the country" he went on,
that this government set up q food

power to condemn facilities, with
power to buy and sell farm products,
and with power to maintain the

Contrasts Appropriation
The wheat corporation was also
given q billion dollars on the eth Of
March. 1919, after the war was over.
Contrast this with the little $780,
100000 proposed in this bill"
Brookhart argued the president also
was in error when he said ''subsidies''
had not figured in the campaign. The
Democrats, the 1owan added, had de-
clared against subsidies and they were
defeated.
If the rejection of the conference
bill by the senate yesterday delays
farm legislation, Brookhart asserted,
it would be the presidents, and not
the senate's fault.
The agreement to bring the issue to
vote In the house was reached at 4
white house conference last night
after the senate had rejected the
joint conference report recommending
elimination Of the debenture section
from its bill. The white house meet
