Pledges Would Aid Gradual
Recovery.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
HAMPTON. Va, October 5.-Scoring
Republican policies as contributory to
economic depression. former Governor
Harry Flood Byrd last night asserted
Democratic platform pledges are definite
and certain and their redemption will
contribute to the gradual recovery of
these United States from the desperate
illness they now suffer"
"Of course international dislocations
and confusions intensified the depres-
sion here" Byrd said But Republic
an policies contributed greatly to the
cause and increased our distress.
Our last prosperity was artificial: 1t
was in large degree the result of Re-
publican policies, and it was these pol
icies that ultimately brought disaster
upon u.s."
Byrd. chairman OF the Executive
Finance Committee Of the national
Democratic organization. delivered his
address before a rally Of first district
Democrats
Until Mr.. Hoover explained to us
the causes Of the depression" he said,
we thought that good Republican
doctrine was that America was self
sufficient. and that We could be pros
porous and happy behind our high
tariff walls and let the rest of the world
go hang. But Mr.. Hoover has now
made it clear that the revised edition
OF the Republican gospel is that good
times are made exclusively in America
by Republicans while bad times are
either imported from Europe or manu-
factured here by Democrats"

yesterday before congressional COM
mittee investigating reputed Govern
ment competition with private busi-

Testimony previously had been given

charges were not directed at the Kan
sas Co-operatives.
Agencies Are Legitimate.

tions were aimed at the Farmers Ma
tional Grain Corporation and similar
farm board setups for controlling cotton
and live stock marketing.
Arthur j. Mellott. Kansas City, Kans.,
attorney for the Kansas Cooperative
Grain Dealers Association. said the
Kansas Co-operativeS resented state
ment by Board of Trade representa-
tives at a former hearing early in Au-
gust that "a group Of falsely called CO.
operatives were neither farmer owned
nor farmer controlled. and were in
competition with private grain trade" :"
we seek to answer those charges
that were made both directly and by
innuendo" Mellott said. We'll show
that the agencies are legitimate and are
to be climax to cooperative market
ing for the benefit of the farmer"
Last Session Today.
Mr. Borders said there never had been
any opposition by the group he repre-
sented to true cooperative marketing.
His objection, he said. was to the Fed
eral Government dipping into the
Treasury and going into private busi-
ness"

bers accepted the explanations with ex-
pressions OF satisfaction and Repre-
sentative Joseph Shannon, Democrat of
