IN View Of Senate Rep. Head

American agriculture can be

only By enactment Of the old

relief or by 3 drastic Curtailmene
OF productive acreage, Senator
James y. watson Of Indiana,
Republican leader Of the Senate
and spokesman for President

the plight Of agriculture.
Watson would not discuss the
views Of President Hoover on this

Republican leaders agreeing with
his attitude toward agricultural
relief.
Opposes Wheat Plan
The Republican leader was op-
posed to demands that the Fed
eral Farm Board purchase lOO,-
O00, 900 bushels Of wheat to sta
bilize prices. Watson declared
there were numerous industrial
activities in need Of better price
levels, and that II the Govern.
ment began q policy Of spending
millions to stabilize one activity.
others would be demanding equal

Watson warned that Congress
either would have 10 impose the

agriculture or the farmers would
have to voluntarily reduce acre
age before there can be any per
manent stAbilization Of farm crop
prices.
Russia COmpetes
He declared Russia was de-
velOping 10000 900 acres Of wheat
this year with the expressed pUr.
pose Of flooding the grain mar
kets of the world. He added that
the Russians were using "peon
labor" against which Americans
could not compete In cost.
Watson said he planned further
conferences with other Repuhli-
can leaders, big business men.
agricultural leaders and farmers
to determine whether further
legislation should be enacted.
