FRIDAY, MAY 3 1929.° # | machinery and red tape. | amendment providing for reduction of i bill permits idle boasting of success fl!‘ FARM AID MEASURE CALLED “MOCKERY" |Senator Wagner Assails Bl [ in Offering Substitute to 5 Stabilize Commodities. | By the Associated Press. | _Substitution of a single powerful | | Government operated corporation for ;the eommodity stabilization agencies provided for in the farm relief bill was proposed yvesterday by Senator Wagner, | | Democrat, of New York, as a means of | controlling surplus erops. Describing the bill in its present form | |as a “mockery” and a ‘“dressed up | scheme” to satisfy campaign slogans, | he claimed an interest in farm legis- | lation as a representative of a State | which produces crops valued at $260,- /000,000 a year and is the largest con- | suming and taxpaying commonwealth | In the country. | If stabilization is the intention of the | administration, he argued, it should be | frankly faced with a direct plan of | execution and not through complex | Holds Debenture Plan Unworkable. | He contended the debenture plan was | not workable and that the Norris rates whenever overproduction is | threatened in an affected crop did not improve it. Asserting that many farm leaders | themselves admit that the farmers will | not join co-operatives, he declared the | | whole farm relief plan embodied in the pending bill is bound to fail because it intends to set up stabilization corpora- | | tions upon the co-operative structure. | “Now, if we are going to pay for| | stabilization,” he said, “let us see that | | we secure effective stabilization, not a | | mockery. | “With that object in view, the major change proposed in my amendment is| the elimination of all’ the commodity | stabilization corperations and the crea- | tion in lieu thereof of one single pow- erful corporation to engage in all of B | the surplus control operations that the bill contemplates. Its capital of about $550,000,000 will be contributed and owned by the Government. Its board of | directors aill be the members of the ! farm board. * * * “Instead of wondering whether any stabilization machinery will be bult and utilized, we shall know. We shall erect it. We shall start its operation | and we shall direct its operations. Promises Aid to AlL “Instead of having one commedity protected while another is unprotected because it has not yet succeeded in or- ganizing itself, we shall have all farm- ers and all commodities start simul- | taneously, and he who needs it will Teceive assistance. * * * “We need no longer fear lack of co- ordination and operation at cross pur- | poses by corporations representing the different commodities. * * * “No idle funds will lie in the treasury reserves of several corporations while one or two commodities are in dis- treas, * * ¢ “Taxpayers will not be asked for money to rehabilitate one commodity in which rations have been unsuccess- ful, while another commodity is build- ing reserves which may later go into EfgE: e e e “Under this amendment, the plan is surely put into operation. Under the bill, | the safer prophecy is that it will never take effect.” “The amendment places resgonsibmty | for the success or faflure of the stabili- | zation work where it belongs—on the administration. ‘The administration there be any, and the shifting of blame elsewhere in case of failure. * * * “Under both plans the Government 1s | in a measure in business. The issue is: | The Government being in business, shall it conduct it effectively or shall | it have its hands and feet tied with red tape and shall it waste its breath in idle | ceremony?” GREENLAND TRIP OFF | FROM LACK OF FUNDS| | EEils g e | Meteorological Station Under Prof. | ‘W. H. Hobbs May Be Reopened at Later Date. | By the Associated Press. ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 3.—Can- | cellation of the fourth University of | Michigan Greenland expedition because | of insufficlent funds to prosecute fits | work was announced today by Prof. William H. Hobbs, director of the three previous_expeditions. | Prof. Hobbs said, however, that the | work may be resumed later through | support of “other interests.” e work of the university's meteor- ological station in Greenland was in- augurated in 1926 and was given much prominence last Summer because of the rescue of Bert Hassell and Parker Cramer, trapsatlantic fiyers, by mem- bers of the expedition. It has been Prof. Hobbs' object to prove that North At- lantic gales have their source on ‘the gregt Greenland ice cap. Bebel Laws Annulled in Mexico.
