The fighting Californian put
over a Sortie on Senator Smoot
CR.) of Utah, Administration
floor leader on the moratorium,
that bewildered the latter and
brought wide grins among the
members.
Reads From Message
Johnson was reading from the
Presidents message on the mora
torium. Then he read a state
ment. ostensibly from the COM
munication, in which Hoover de-
clared that the moratorium agree
ment he was asking Congress to
approve was not his original pro-
posal, but what he was able to
get from the French. Unde: the
circumstances he, tn" 9fore, gave
the members of Congress who had
pledged their approval freedom
of action in the matter. Johnson
said:
"This is q worthy statement
p. Of the President. ] am glad to
be able to agree with him and
take this opportunity Of ex.
pressing my approval"
Then turning to Smoot, who
held an open copy of the. Presi-
dents message in his hand, John
son asked him if he didn't agree
that the Presidents statement
was a fair and just one.
Smoot arose and readily agreed,
saying:
"Why, of course, it was the
only thing the President could
say under the circumstances"
Quick as a flash johnson turned
on him.
Exactly, IL is the only fair
and honorable thing he could
say under the circumstances.
But he didn't say it. I have
merely been interpOlating into
his message what he ought to
have said."
And while Smoot hurriedly
beckoned for Senator Reed (R0
of Pennsylvania, his assistant in
the fight, and the two went into
a huddle over the Presidents
message. johnson explained that
he had read into the communica'
Tlon a statement that the PreSi
dent under the circumstances
should have made to Congress
but had not.
The whole chamber Uttered
and after a few moments Smoot
leaving Reed on guard, left the
room.

r. E. Bonner, former executive Sec

AGREEMENT ON RATE
FOR LOANS REPORTED
New York Banks Said to Have
Pegged Interest at
/ IL Per Cent.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 3o.-An agreement
to refrain from leaning can money on
Stock Exchange collateral at less than
the current renewal rate Of IA per
cent has been reached by q number Of
leading New York banks.
The move was designed to keep the
call money rate stable by preventing
the shifting of out-of-town bank and
corporation money, with consequent
fluctuations in the call rate. such as
occurred recently when q per cent re-
newal rate was posted by the New York
Stock Exchange
In recent weeks the Stock Exchange
has fixed renewal rate of II. per cent,
but in the outside market cali money
has been available at per cent be-
cause banks have been willing to place
their surplus funds at this lower figure
at the end Of the day. With q large
amount Of call money available each
day at per cent, the exchange felt
that 1t should post per cent re-
newal rate. When IL was tried two
weeks ago 50 much money was with
drawn by out-of-town banks and
Others" that the Ia per cent renewal
rate had to be restored.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, May 3O.-Brokerage
house opinion on the stock market
remained mixed and uncertain, al
though there seems to be a growing
feeling that at least a technical rally
cannot be far away. Comments follow:
HornbloWer e. Weeks-Because the
last two years have offered so many
precedents of the market changing lis
direction over a double holiday and
because the current wave of liquida-
ton has run for nearly az months, 1t
is quite possible that the first week in
June will inaugurate an upturn.
jackson Bros, Boesel q Co.-Reports
persist and have been widely diSsem-
mated that some kind of organized
banking arrangement is in the making
to stabilize security prices. Confrma-
ton was lacking, but the logic of such
a proposition obviously appealed to the
public and brought in considerable
short-covering and new buying yester-
day. 1t is presumed, Of course, that a
money pool to operate in stocks would
await the results of the Stock Exchange
QUESTIONABLE on short-selling.
Redmond a. Co.-There were recur-
rent rumors that a huge banking pool
had been formed TO support the mar
ket. but we saw no evidence Of con-
certed bank buying and doubt that any
such pool has been formed. Certainly
the action of the market did not reflect
IT, We look Tor another irregular mar
ket today and believe that further ef-
forts may be made to extend the rally.
but We still adhere to the opinion that
the market does not yet show definite
indications Of having touched bottom
and that many stocks will sell lower in
the next few weeks.
Russell. Miller g. Co.-The market Is
no longer q matter Of ANALYSIS based on

mind in which people who own securi-
ties seem to be trying to rush into the

HORSE is FOUND THREE TO
ONE CHOICE AS FARM POWER

Survey Shows Planters Prefer Animal:
old Dobbin Long Way From Gone
The following clipping from Mid
die Western newspaper is published by
request and will Surprise many in
that it shows that horses are still fai
in the lead over farm tractors. The
article follows.
That horse power is more in de-
mand than motor power as the farmers
of the corn belt are completing their
spring seeded and planting opera
tons was indicated in survey over
two typical areas in Illinois finished
yesterday.
Horse drawn implements were found
to outnumber those drawn by tractors
by a ratio of three to one in central
Illinois, and by five to one in the
northeat section of the state. The adj
vent of more efficient bitches, the
cheapness of home grown feeds and
the value of live stock in maintaining
soil fertility were given as the reasons
for the increase in use Of horses this
year by farmers interviewed
More Horses Tran Tractors.
In rs mile drive from Urbana to
Kankakee yesterday, there were OBJ
served So two and three horse teams,
81 teams of four or five horses abreast
six abreast teams, and IL units with
horse teams in tandem, total of Sc
horse drawn implements. There were
IL tractors in fields along this route
and an additional ten teams being used
in fertilizing the soil.
On the previous two days Dean III.
w Mumford of the college of agricul-
ture of the University of Illinois re-
corded a ratio Of three to one horse
and tractor drawn field units on farms
along the highway between Urbana
and Springfield.
There were seen on the trip to
Springfield SO teams of four or more
teams. This total of 121 horse drawn
units compared with 40 tractors re-
corded The return trip over the same
route the next day showed SO horse
drawn units and 26 tractors.
Study Methods of Economy.
"Of course, we are only interested
in finding the most economical and ef-
ficient methods" declared Dean Mum
ford, and | presume that the ratio
OF tractors to horse teams owned by H.
lnois farmers is higher than we found 7
Several farmers indicated that they
had been able to complete their spring
planting weeks earlier than usual due
to excellent fall and winter weather,
and it was understood that some trac-
tor owners had completed their field
work before this survey was made.
