Sponsors of farm relief legisls.
ton will go into ire expected special
session of Congress in April with
full expectation that the farm prob
lem will take precedence over tariff
reimbursement. Rep. Gilbert N.
Haugen (R.) of Iowa. chairman
of the House Agriculture Com
mlttee, declared today.
Haugen, who was among those
blocking proposals for compromise
legislation in the present short SEES
sion based on the Jardine plan.
indicated that the farm bloc
would fight tariff increases for
industry unless satisfactory farm
legislation is assured.
Awaits Hoover Plan
Although still advocating the
equalization fee provisions OF the
McNary.Haugen bill. he indicated
he would be willing to accept the
expected Hoover program Of farm
relief in the special session.
1.-THE farm bill should be con.
sidered first In the special session,
he said. "Just when the House
Committee on Agriculture begins
consideration OF the matter depends
upon President-elect Hoover. IL he
submits a plan Immediately after
inauguration, / believe members OF
the committee would he willing TO
return before the special session
gets under way and report bill
when II opens.
Unless the tariff IL made effec-
tive for the farmers 1t would be
absurd to pass a tariff bill for
industry, and any increases in the
tariff must provide benefit for the
producers of large exportable sur.
pluses. As a result of the ineffec'
tiveness of the tariff, farmers now
buy on the highest market and sell
on the lowest.
After a farm bill Is considered.
then the friends of the farmer will
be in a position TO vote intelli.
gently upon the tariff.
III Hoover has way Of making
the tariff effective for farmers !
care not how 1t is done. My pres
ent opinion il that the only way
it can be done Is to pool prodac.
ton, and that can only be done
through the equalization fee plan
or by government subsidy"
