conference with the president at
which they planned to lay before
him requests for currency imitation,
and MIRA code for farmers, pegged
prices for farm products and quick

The president was prepared for
the conference by statistics from
his interpreting economist In Wnlcn
1t was figured that THE purchasing
power of farmers had been in
creased about 30 per cent between
March and October.
The figures of the economist
showed that farm prices had ad-
vanced in this period an average
of ~ points in the commodity in
dex while industrial prices were
advancing an average Of only Q
points.
In a statement issued on their
arrival Secretary of Agriculture
wallace and Farm Administrator
Peek promised to give careful
consideration to the methods pro-
posed" and offered the aid Of the
