EQUALIZATION FEE
Include Export Debenture
Plan in New Plea
for Relief.

A broad program to relieve agricul-
Sure containing the controversial equal
iZation fee and export debenture plan,
was put before the Senate Agriculture
Committee today by three major farm
organizations.
Chester Gray of the American Farm
Bureau Federation submitted the plan
on behalf of the federation, the Ma
tional Farmers Union and the National
Grange.
Includes Thomas Plan.
The program also calls for an allot-
ment plan to handle that portion of
the crops needed for domestic consump-
ton, as provided in the pending bill
OF Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
homa. |vlx,
This measure stipulates that the
price the farmer receives for produce
needed for domestic consumption shall
be equal to the cost of production
The remainder of the crops would be
withheld from the domestic market,
but could be exported for less than the
price fixed for domestic sales.
Important Ban Provided.
The measure provides that the Farm
Board may bar imports when the flow
affects the domestic market sufficiently
to hamper sales at the cost of rroduc-
ton price.
Senator Howell Republican,, Ne
braska, explained before the committee
his bill to apply the McNary- Haugen
bill principles to one crop in the nature
of an experiment.
The crop to be experimental with
would be determined by the committee.
