GRAIN TRADE HIT
BY CARL WILLIAMS
Farm Board Vice Chairman
Warns Against CirCuIa-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DURHAM, N. H., August "A
warning to farmers against the 'propa-
ganda which is being circulated by the
grain trade and many other handlers
of farm products under the old system"
was uttered last night by Carl Will
Iiams. vice chairman Of the Federal
Farm Board.
In an address before the American
Institute Of Cooperation. Williams
urged the farmers to consider carefully
before they accept statements about
what a horrible law the agricultural
marketing act is and how it has in
'urcd the farmer"
mo group" he said. "is more aware
OF the real significance of the co-opera-
tive marketing movement than the pri-
vate distribution and professors Of
farm products who have long followed
the vicious practices of squeezing their
profit margins out of primary producers.
These interests continually present
their expert appraisal of the signifi-
canoe of the cooperative development
in vicious attacks on the movement be-
fore CongTe and in the public press.
They fight hardest when their
pockatbooks are affected. The dis
tributors and professors have the
strongest possible economic motive be-
hind their opposition to the develop
ment of cooperative marketing as a
means of improving agricultural con-
ditions
What have privats trade interests
done in the past to help you better your
condition? They have always been and
are now against your organizing your
own business, so you can control in a
measure the sale of your products"
Williams said the farmers should de-
pOrtunity and do their part to make it
more effective.
The availa bility Of credit from the
Farm Boards revolving fund for the
support OF commodity prices and for
loans to marketing organizations, he
added, had served to prevent the wide
spread breakdown of farmer-owned CO.
operatives during a period of acute
economic pressure"
Asserting severe attacks have been
made on the Farm Board on the ground
that it is partisan and is giving one
group unfair economic advantage, Will
liamS said I'VE intend to kesp right on
being partisan. In the cause of as
sisting farm producers to develop a

may hope ultimately to improve thsir

.BORAH TO DISCUSS
WORLD QUESTIONS
Senator Leaves for Minneap-

of Economic Farley.

Senator William E. Borah, Repub-

a lone trail to discuss international
issues.
Still silent about his 1882 election
views, Senator BoTan set out for Min
neapolis, where he will carry forward
his campaign for world economic con-
ference.
Asked if he would discuss politics in
his Wednesday night speech there, the
Senator smiled as he gave an emphatic
NO"
Nevertheless, there is every prospect
that the international economic situa-
tion, including his own proposal for re-
vision of war debts in return for Euro
pean disarmament and reparationS can
collation., may become live issue in
the campaign.
Borah declined comment today on the
proposal of Gov. Roosevelt, the Demo-
cratic nominee, to stir international
trade by adjustment of the tariff walls.
There Is every indication that the
Hoover administration Is carefully
studying Borah's world conference pro-
posal, and some here believe the PreSi-
dent may give his views in his accept
ance speech next week.
Meanwhile, acceptance of the invita-
ton to the United States to participate
in an European economic conference
was delayed today until further study
can be given the questions involved and
the personnel of the group that will
represent this country can be deter
