Instead of asserting that England will

Offcial sources again emphasized
that none of the newspaper debate had
been fostered by responsible govern

It appeared there would be little de-

Macdonald had consulted all the politi-

Sir Herbert Samuel, who supports the
government although he no longer Is q
cabinet member, disclosed that he had
given his ideas of the situation to Mr.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, November 28.-Agricul-
lures final 1882 demands for relief
legislation are being drafted in Chi
cago.
Before final adjournment Of series

rieS of agriculture, whose annual con-
vention is one of group Of confer
ences being held by rural leaders dur
ing the international live stock show.
Major attention is being given to the
question of surplus production and ef-
forts to make the tariff applicable on
that part Of crops and live stock con-
sumed within the United States. What
the final outcome might be, leaders
have declined to comment pending
final action.
Current discussions are understood to
revolve around notifications OF the
domestic allotment plan. 1t has taken
the spotlight from the equalization fee
proposal, long supported by the Farm
Bureau, and the export debenture IDEA
sponsored by the National Grange.
Before the allotment plan was pro-
jected into the national picture within

reau, Grange and National Farmers
Union agreed to support the debenture,
equalization fee or any other method
for promoting rural prosperity.
