BUSINESS HEN VARY ON GAUSE OF DEPRESSION Situation Calls For Consider- ation as National Eco- nomic Question New York, April 14.—@)—A gen- eral agricultural depression exists and calls for consideration as a na- tio economic question, says a preliminary report of the business men’s commission on agriculture, which will publish its findings this summer. “The evidence which has been given is practically unanimous upon the fact of depression, but ix varied and at times contradictory both as to cause and to remedies,” said Charles Nagel, chairman. Hearings were held in New York, Chicago, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, Memphis, At- lanta, Greenville, S. C., and the Pacific coast. Some Sections Bankrupt “Some rural sections of the coun- try, we are told, are virtually bank- rupt as communities and ure for the time carried by the more prosperous urban areas of the state in which they are: located,” said Nagel, who is a former secretary of commerce and labor, “Even the most efficient farmers,” | he continued, “seem of recent year: to have done little better than hold} their own by cutting their exp tures below their accust standard.” The commission was formed last November by the National Industrial Jonference Board and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Its coming report is expected to deal particularly with the congressional | qprace, and presidential veto of the jcNary-H. farm relief bill. Lockhart Drives Car 171.02 Miles an Hour!
