BUSNESSISASKED TO DELAY PN Chamber of Commerce Urges That Judgment of Farm Aid Be Deferred. Organized business should defer judg- ! ment on the operation of the farm aid | act, the agricultural service department commitiee informed directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States yesterday. Regarding resolutions urging th chamber to_protest against the activi- ties of the Farm Board, the committee recommended that no action he taken at this time. Its report was approved by the directors. “While this the committee is united provisions of act itself or on the interpretation ot those provisions as thus far con- strued,” the report ‘of the: committee said, “nevertheless 4t feels that in all Justice and fairness 't the act and to | the Farm Board it would be premature for this committée to make recommen- dations to the board ‘of - directors on chamber policy in‘ relation thereto.” The committée said.it had held four sessions during:the past two days “pri- Bet iy Shh T Pl T r policy T ral Farm Board activitles.” < . A statement from the . chamber last night said that its officers “feel that it is the present desire of organized business to extend sympathetic aid to the Farm Board -in. working out through this formative, period ifs poli- cies of helpfulness to iture.” Julius H. Barnes, irman- of ‘the board of the chamber;" addressed member organizations which had op- posed the activities of the Farm Board a letter saying that the chamber “is vitally interested in this whole question and through a very able committee is following developments from day to day in-order to place itself in proper posi- tion to deal intelligently and con- structively with the question.” o FOUR PLAYS TONIGHT END PRELIMINARIES Yarger Audience Witnesses Fourth in Group Series, Given Last Night.
