JUNE 10, ARN AID PLANK FARNIHOSTS JOIN WORRIES LEADERS G. 0. P. Piatform Makers Try, to Plzase Agrarians and | Meet Veto Views. BY JAMES L. WEST, Associated Press Staft Writer KANSAS CITY, June 9.—Republican party platform makers sharpened their tools today to work on the delicate farm yelief plank which seemed to be the hub of their present worries. Their chief difficulty appears to be in drafting a declaration for agricul- toral aid which would meet the views of the agrarian leaders of the militant Middle Wost, and at the same time | carry an indorsement of President Coolidge's veto views of the McNary Haugen bill Admittedly, this was a difficult task but ons which had been somewhot simplified by the action of the Ameri- B Federation in indors- ing ! which omitted mention either of the McNary-Haugen measure or the controverted equalization fce. Many drafts of the farm plank have been submitted to Senator Smoot of Utah, who is to head the platform- making committee, the latest being the administration's proposal, which was gone over tod: by Secretary Jardine. The head of the Agricultural Depart- ment and the veteran Utah Senator conferred on the subject for more th an hour. but the only statement forth coming was that apparently the admin- istration was satisfied with the ten tive draft worked out Radicals Follow Lowden. While the more radical of the farm leaders were expected to follow former Gov. Prank O. Lowden, who argued un- equivocally here today for an equaliza- tion fee declaration, other leaders in the farm movement were ready (o forego that. As a result. there was a growing fecling of confidence that Epr problem could be worked out in the committee with a finish fight on the convention floor thus avoided. Candidates makinz up the coalition | #gainst Hoover are far from a unit on the farm question. enator Curtis of Kansas hss had ideas on farm reliel Tadically different from those embodied in the twice vetoed McNarv-Haugen measure. Senator Goff of West Vir-| ginia opposed the McNary-Haugen bill. Senator Watson of Indiana voted for | that measure. but in the interest of harmony he will not insist upon the paming of the bill in the platform, #ithough he has not changed his views | on this means of agricultural aid. | Asid> from farm relief, only a few | ©ther controversies of imvortance loom- | ed and meombers of the resolutions committee believed the differences over | thess could be adjusted with little diffi- | .

A. G.

From sactions of South Dakota and Minnesota similar movements were reported, with indica- tions that Monday would see them moving into Kansas City in full force Cars Join Group Along Way. Swinging down through South Dakota | t the caravan headed by Go' Sorlie was “growing like a rolling ball.” the governor reported, in ing 400 cars will represent his at the convention rity. His group in- cluded 19 cars when it left Jamestown Southern Minnesote towns reported virtually every county in the second and seventh congressional districts was represented in the auto loads that had started the journey to Kansas City, planning to join the main caravan at Omaha tomorrow. Lowden a Favorite. Cars in many cases emphasized the opposition to Hoover as the presidential choice, while proclaiming Lowden as the | “friend of the farmer.” i There was no way of accurately esti- | mating the number of automobiles par- | ticipating in the movement in the | Dakotas and Minnesota, though ‘opti- mistic leaders said there would be | “many hundreds” at Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, June 9—Taking the statement of the American Farm Bu- reau Federation to mean that the equalization fee of the McNary-Haugen bill would not be insisted upon, Secre- tary Jardine said in a statement today that the time was now favorable for the enactment of relief legislation fa- forable to both the organization and fthe administration. “The co-operation of this powerful farm organization with the Republican administration,” he said, “will make it easv for Congress to enact farm relief legislation in line with the program set forth by the Farm Bureau and which this administration has consist- ently advocated. “The unconstitutional equalization fee has been the single factor which has made it impossible heretofore for | this major farm organization and the administration to work shoulder to shoulder.” The Secretary declared that all that remains to be done is to legislate along lines helping the farmer organize and to provide proper financial help and management for co-operative market- ine associations. Speaking of the tariff, Jardine pointed out that “in order to preserve the home market, which after all is the ‘best market, the President has increased the duties on many major agricultural items.” and added: “The Tariff Commission is con- stantly working on the problem of ad- justing tariff rates so as to protect the home market for the American farmer. “Now is the proper time to enact the right kind of legislation to make im- possible the repetition of the 1920-21 crises and with all forces working to- | gether we will do this, placing our structure on the firm foundation we have already set up.” GOOD DENIES VOTES WILL GO TO COOLIDGE ‘ Hoover Leader Says Pledged Dele- | gates Will Not Embarrass Virginia and Charles D.
