All this time Arthur NJ. Hyde,

member of the board, keeps up a
perpetual "caw, oaw, cav" like a

NEW YORK, March 30.-The New

DEBENTURE IS DOOMED
Fourth Meeting of conferees
Fails to Result in Any
Progress.

Misunderstanding by
friends of the export debenture plan
that any report Of the farm relief
conference committee must include a
recommendation for the rejection Of
that proposal, served to clarity the
status of agricultural legislation in
spite of the committees failure to
agree upon a course of procedure.
Disagreement has been occasioned
by insistence of senate members that
the conferees hold a general discus.
sion on the two farm bills passed sep
arately by the two branches of con-
gress and then decide upon what shall
be done with the debenture section.
The house conferees have stubbornly
declined to go ahead with the negO-
tiatiens unless the senate members
first agree not to bring debentures into
the discussions.
To agree to such proposal, the SEN
ate conferees considered the senate
would first have to recede from its po-
sition in favor of the debenture plan.
They argued, that If a conference
report was brought in suggesting the
course the senate would likely recede
more quickly, thus insuring earlier en-
actment of farm legislation.
1t was the opinion of the senate
conferees that the negotiations might
result in victory for the senate on a
majority Of the important compro.
misses necessary before the two farm
bills could be composed, and that on
the basis of such showing, the sen.
ate might agree to lay aside, so far as
farm relief legislation was concerned
ture plan be made part of an agricul
tural measure.
