Co Roosevelt Studies AAA’s Court Death With Aides by Side the farmers’ world price for surplus crops. They are the old export debenture plan, the equalization fee vetoed twice by President Coolidge and the domes- tic allotmens plen. “None of these require processing taxes, acreage control or benefit pay- ments and all are constitutional in my opinion,” McNary said. Senator Capper (Rep.-Kans.) said the administration farm program “will have to be revised in some way” and the agriculture committee would wait on Secretary Wallace for sug- gested alternatives, Makes Secretary Administrator * Under McNary’s three-way bill, the secretary of agriculture would be made the sole administrator. Under the export debenture, ex- porters of surplus crops would be giv- en debenture certificates from the treasury equal to one-half the tariff on similar imported products, the de- bentures to be good for their face value in payment of import duties. The equaliaztion fee is assessed on each unit of a commodity as it moves into commerce, but may not be col- lected more than once. It controls production, not by imposing quotas of production, but by automatically in- creasing the size of the fee and conse- quently reducing the total net profit if overproduction is indulged in, Under the allotment plan, the do- mestic consumption would be segre- gated from the export supply and the domestic portion purchased by hand- lers at not less than cost of produc- tion. The surplus would be sold at a lower price.
