The newly formed body, com- posed of about 30 middlewestern farm leaders, claimed to represent three-fourths in actual numerical strength of the original organization, stands for the federal farm market- ing act and the Federal Farm board. “We believe in cooperative market- ing and to that end are giving the federal farm marketing act and the Federal Farm board our active and energetic support, believing that real benefit already has been manifest and that greater benefit may yet obtain,” members of the new com- mittee said Tuesday in an official statement. The split in federal ranks came Tuesday when a group opposed to the workings of agricultural marketing act and headed by the president, William Hirth of Columbia, Mo., succeeded by @ vote of 20 to 19, in admitting delegates from several subsidiary farm union groups. The delegates who withdrew de- clared that the move was apparently one to force commitment of the group to a course in opposition to the agricultural marketing act and tending toward the political field.

More than a score of witnesses from several sections of the country, of the approximately 200 summoned, had testified Wednesday, among them two women from New Jersey, and two men from Lansing, Mich., several from New York and one each from Chicago and Boston. Most of the witnesses were dealers in paints and chemicals. James M. Hoffa, assistant district attorney, said it was “the largest of the kind ever undertaken by the gov- ernment.” The inquiry was opened August, 1929, after a squad of prohibition agents found a 5,000-galion st:ll and 40 drums of lacquer thinner in an old distillery plant here, and later two 3,000-gallon plants and more lacquer thinner.

The meeting was called by E. A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau federa- tion. The conference, he said, was called to permit the development of closer relationships between all organized agricultural groups and to work out various organizations in attaining a common objective. He said certain groups were secking to “nullify and disable the agricul- tural marketing act and the federal farm board.” “In the face of this situation,” he ‘said, “It behooves the organized forces of Fes aa agriculture to get to- gether. my Of King Is Celebrated Windsor, Eng.

D., May 6. operations are 85 per cent completed in Stark county. The crop has gone into a fine seed bed and the land has worked up in good shape, C. C. East- gate, county agent, states following a survey based on reports received from various points in Stark county. Summer fallow land has drifted con- siderably and some farmers are tak- ing steps to stop it by using duck-foot cultivators. On the whole, conditions are good and the crop will withstand drought. Grain already is appearing above the ground and a good rain, followed by two or three warm days, would see everything a healthy green, Mr. Eastgate says. At present, the only thing suffering from the lack of moisture is pasture land. Seeding operations are expected to be completed by May 15. Many farm- ers are ready to sow flax, but are waiting for rain which will aid in cre- ating a more favorable seed bed. At the present time, seeding operations are confined largely to oats and bar- ley, the bulk of the wheat crop being in the ground. Unemployment Is Discussed Before Commercial Body (Continued from page one) Sempell, chairman of the German Steel Cartel, who said he was “strong- ly in favor” of rationalization of p1 duction in spite of “some doubts re- sulting from the present world mar- ket situation.” Defends Mass Production Sempell took issue with the conten- tion mass production has brought about the economic crisis in Germany. He said while there was no doubt more employes would be needed if Production were carried on under old methods, the products would be so ex- pensive that exportations would stop and imports could not be excluded, which would result in even more un- employment. Swope said the first problem in Planning steady employment was to avoid seasonal and occasional vari- ations and, in industries where these measures are seemingly impossible, to “ameliorate the hardships of un- employment when they arise.” The tariff question was thrust be- fore the chamber again in a state- ment from Sir Arthur Salter, former director of the economic and finan- cial section of the League of Nations. Salter warned that if nations are ment for their exports and past loans, a “chronic disease in the world | monetary system” will develop which | will “both prolong the existing de- pression and cause and aggravate depression in the future.” | Says Success Limited He said the League of Nations has | been devoting itself to this situation, but its success has been limited be- cause its main influence was in ; Europe, that the great new increases of tariff have been witnessed.” Tariff barriers in Europe, he said, are no higher than in 1927, but this | “status quo” may give way before “a new era of competitive tariffs which only a new effort of concerted action, now confined to one continent, can avert.” The effectiveness of the league de- pends upon the extent to which it is utilized, he added. Defending the free trade system, Salter said the main foundation of the normal prosperity of the United States is its constitutional injunc- tion against tariff barriers between the states. é Dr. Salter said one of the origins of the world depression was the spec- ulative boom of 1929 which he de- scribed as “a new and terrifying phenomenon, which all of those con- cerned with averting or mitigating future alternations of boom and de- pression must certainly study.” “The general tendency may and should be directed toward high real wages,” said Meyer. “It is of little consequence to a wage-earner if his income be decreased or increased, provided the cost of living increases Yr decreases in the same proportions.” Economic factors, he said, are stronger than theory and “impose the. measure which must not be exceeded without endangering the general economic balance of a country.” ‘Agrees With Italian Meyer agreed with the report of Gino Olivetti, Italian delegate, that the limit of high wages has been exceeded in the United States and that this “explains the attempt on the part of industrial interests to ob- tain an increase in customs duties. countries, although in mitigated form compared with those in America, had poe are satisfactory economic re- 8 be He blamed part of Great Britain’s troubles on the fact that while she has free trade the cost of living and wages are high.
