In answer to this the argument is being made that if the | farm group really wants legislation it fhould have it without the slightest de- Y. ... There i8,' of course, a concensus that a bill satisfactory to President Coolidee canbe passed and that a Federal farm board can be set up to make a start ou the agricultural surplus’problem.
