Senator Brookhart, Repub-
lican, Iowa, urged co-opera-
ton by the board with the
Canadian wheat pool in OPP
position to England, France
and Italy.
BrOokhart expressed a belief
that combination of the three
European nations against the
American wheat growers was in
operation. He blamed the board
for not using more money at this
time.
Senator Mcclellan, democrat,
Tennessee, said he had heard re-
ports that the board was "gambl-
ing in the futures market" on cot
ton and wheat and he severely
condemned such a practice.
Brookhart estimated, in response
to a question by Senator Walsh,
democrat, Mass, that a total of
81 800, 100000 would eventually be
needed by the board. He advocat-
ed that the government acquire
all surplus crops, wheat or cot
ton, or other commodities, ant
store them in an attempt TO pre-
serve the price.
Senator Borah, republican, Ida
no, inquired how much of las
years wheat still was in the
hands of the farmers and McNary
estimated it would approximate 81
per cent in the northwest area anC
about Is per cent in the middle
western states.
Senator Wheeler, democrat
Montana, read a letter from w l.
Stockton, president of the Mon
Itana state farm bureau, criticiz
ing the board and expressing tn
fear that it would not meet tn
situation this year.

1t has been evident for a
week that the liberals were
lining up their strength and
stiffening the party disci-
pline in preparation for an
attack against labor's con-
troyersial coal mines bill
nd unemployment pro-
gram.
Today they joined the conserva-
tives and successfully pushed
through an amendment to the coal
bill.
Immediately after the announce
ment of the result, Macdonald
made it plain that he had no in
tentiOn of resigning until he was
beaten on major issue. He sale
he intended to go on with coal bill
because the amendment carried by
the opposition made no Essential
change in the main structure OF
the measure.
Former Prime Minister Baldwin
leader of the conservatives, pro
voked an indignant denial from
him by asking whether he intend
ed to go on with it.
81 am amazed at the question,
Mr.. Macdonald asserted. "Ml
| Baldwin will have an Dpportunit,
two days from now to move hi
party's vote of censure. I will b
glad to accommodate him if h
will make his vote of censure ger
eral and we will accept the dec.
sion"
The general belief here is ths
if Mcdonald went to the countr
he would be returned with a ma
jority over Tories and Liberal
but he is committed to the hoI
of making a reputation for h
pacifist Socialism thru the nav
conference which is now apparen
ly doomed. The Labor govern
ment which tried to please the ca
italists has succeeded in pleasir
nobody and now a section of M
Donald's party is going over
the Communists.

Old John Farmer dropped
in the other day, after having
wallOwed thru the mud to
this great metropolis to spend
a few thin dimes over at Pen
ney's store. He said. 81 used
to be sort of prejudiced
against the chain stores. but
since taxes are so high and
wheat is so low 1 just had to
come to it. Besides. l notice
that its about the only store
that advertises anyway. Its
funny, isn't it. the way wheat
goes down, and taxes go up.
It wouldn't be so bad if they
reversed once in a while. If
wheat keeps going down and
taxes going up, it won't be
long before the zero hour for
us.
'WeII you folks in Plenty
wood have some mighty in
teresting things going on
which should help pass the
time away. Out on the farm
we have been showed i'm for
so long the only thing we
have for that purpose is Cas-
