today studies OF the situation are

will be pushed in the next con-
gress more strongly than ever.
Not as a subsidy to farmers" he
added. but as a complement TO

President Hoover suggested 10
the farm board Saturday that IL
consider a more definite policy than

board has promised ar answer by
July /.
The board would be justified in
making a years pledge, Brenck-
mar said. adding undoubtedly
prices would be improved.
The fact that this surplus Is In
existence" he said, demonstrates
that the debenture plan is by far
the best. Under that system. the
wheat would have been moved out

stands to lose much more"
He advocated examining the
