SAYS
RELIEF IN DANGER
D E c L A r ES FARM BILL is
PLACED IN JEOPARDY BY
SENATE ACTION

Washington, June 11.-President
Hoover late Tuesday issued a
formal statement asserting that
Tuesdays vote in the senate adds
further delay to farm relief and
may gravely jeopardiZe the enact
ment of agricultural legislation.
Reiterating his opposition to the
export debenture plan Mr.. Hoover
declared that 1T will not bring
equality but will bring further
disparity to agriculture"
He added that Immediate pro-
fits to some spectators and
disaster to the farmer" would fol
low the enactment of this farm
relief plan.
The chief executive declared
that in rejecting the compromise
farm bill the senate had in effect
rejected "a bill which provides for
the creation of the most important
agency ever set up in the govern
ment to assist an industry-the
proposed federal board, endowed
with extraordinary authority to re-
organize the marketing system in
the interest of the farmer, to sta
bilize his industry and to carry |
out these arrangements in con-
junction with farm co-operatives,
with a capital of $500,000,000 as
an earnest of the seriousness of
The work"
The compromise bill, the presi-
lent said, carried out in every
particular the plan advanced by
he republican party in the recent
campaign. t
Every other plan of agricultur- I
j relief was rejected in that cam t
'aign and this plan was one of the /
most important issues in the prin- I
ipal agricultural states and was S
iven as mandate by an impress a
i've majority in these states," the S
resident said. a
Subsidies were condemned in h
he course of the campaign and Il
le so-called debenture plan-that a
the giving of subsidies on eX- tt
Orts-was not raised by either Il
arty nor by its proponents.

The president did not specify
any course of action, but his ap-

the debenture issue. This course
has been suggested by Chairman
