Coolidge. The President ad-| dressed the members briefly, but his remarks were not made public. Mr. Coolldge in discussing the ag. ricultural situation as it stands to- day is understood to have followed in general the subject outlined by him in a public address last week before the Associgtion of Land Grant Colleges. “It Was very.éyjdent.” said a state- ment issued iater in the day at the Agriculture Department, based on comments of the commissioners, “that ' the President had & thorough knowl.! edge of the agricultural eituation and was sincere In hie cfforts that something should be done to bring abeut better conditions in agricui- ture and & better balance between agriculture and other {ndustries.” Hope to Co-ordinate Plama, Proposed legislation expected to come under the commiseion’s study, it wds belidved, Includes the McNary- Haugen export corporation bill, the Norris-Sinclair bill .and Capper-Wil- liams and Curtis-Aswell meusures— all either awalting conslderation at the coming short scssion of Congress or In the course of completion in committee. Consideration of theee and other measures that may be proposed later is expected to be given with the hope of correlating or elimirating objectional features and arriving at a plan which will sult all interested parties. Present farm laws will be gone over, it was said, for the purpose of determining whether they are belng properly enforced or are grouped under the proper department or bu- reau and whether it would be ad- visable to transfer responslbllity for their administration.
