GENERAL congressman, speaking on
- behalf of American shipping inter-

made between the federal farm board

will be traded for coffee will be trans
ported to Brazil in Brazilian vessels
Chairman Stone of the farm board
said nothing could be done about it,
as the negotiations had been closed
Representative Frank L. Bowman Of
West Virginia declared the action of
the board in allowing Brazil to ar
range the transportation was ''col.
lossal economic blunder" and in viola
ton Of the spirit Of the merchant ma
rine act. The American Steamship
Owners association sent protest to
President Hoover.
Probably. as Mr.. Stone says, moth
ing can be done in this instance, but
it is more than likely that If the
bodrl makes sales of wheat or cotton
to China and other countries. Ameri-
can shipping interests will be pro-
tected.

many capable volunteers, and also
hired experts to handle technical mat

Mr.. Clifford spent the week end
with Mr.. Hoover at the Rapidan camp
and they discussed the problem thor

the state legislature which met in

other matters.
Plans worked out by the President
and Mr.. Clifford call for complete or
ganization of the entire country for
the relief task the nation must face
this winter. All relief agencies are
to be welded into one system so there
will be no duplication of effort and no
section of the country will be neglect
ed. Under the direction of the Wash

which have not yet begun to prepare
for the winter re expected to make
new efforts to obtain funds with which

The President and Mr. Clifford were
in agreement that the relief load must

decided that national government
should be formed.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Baldwin,
Mr.. Macdonald was persuaded to re-

selected, these being the members:

Conservatives Stanley Baldwin,

Eight other ministers without cab

In radio address Mr.. Macdonald
defended the proposed reduction OF

This was fatty denied by Snowden and
others. High officials in Washington
said they had not heard that an ad-

government. 1t was their belief that
the coalition ministry would be able
