Maybe the farmers know it, and maybe not, but their cause was never better championed than it was yester- day, when Alexander Legge, chairman of the Federal Farm Board, presented the case of the hard-pressed farmer before the annual meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Without mincing words, Mr. Legge told the business men that too many of t.hem wanted all the benefits of protec- ‘but that the time had now arrived ihhenme(mmtolncwmhh share, t00. Mr. Legge is & vroucuonlat He be- lieves in protecting industry, but, un- like many other industrialists, he is also strongly in favor of effective protection for agriculture. 5 “What I urge on you,” he said, “is that we need. not more combinations— including farmers—but . less interference with the economic law of supply and demand—functioning ugh price, be- cause this is the only sure, inevitable, sound, scientific method of eliminating the 1 lucer.” “The national chamber of commerce ‘was really responsible for the enu:tmem of the Federal farm act,” said man of the Farm Board, and in rebuml reminded his hearers that two years ago they voted overwhelmingly in favor of oo-npendon an. when the !ulenl Farm Board is developing s policy of building ‘bo'.h ll:l;)-nptrltlvle a“i:"m::g co-operative selling organizatio of the chamber’s imbershlp have raised a hue and cry accusing the mar- keting act of being both paternalistic and Bocllllsnc “Too many of your members were for the prmclple of co-operation onlg if 1t didn’'t work,” said the hard-hittil . “You fellows got yours bw- pr e farmers d‘ldn‘t use they were mnot or- 4 to do is quently heard dt “Being driven to “Going bankru '"l'lu Gtwemmen'. has killed our "Aueflmlcfldllwmflanm~ the deblu. wall.” it “An m!ntble situation.” & stood his ground ‘?&mpun( w?‘ agriculture up 'n':: al economic p-nzy":fm industry, and was doing nothing more for it than industry has done in its own field.

B Plus SHORT-TERM SECURITIES. ON EASIER CREDIT U. S. Group and Other Prime Issues Gain in Active Trading. BY F. H. RICHARDSON. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, May 1.—Bonds mlde an immediate response today, both in increased trading ln\l higher prices, to the lower rediscount rates abroad and intimations that this would be followed by another cut in the Federal reserve rate of rediscount in New York. Act- ually bankers’ bills and time money were easier, which increased the advantage tn buyers of ities over lenders money at current rates. ‘The first to the new condi- tions came, as it always does, in the high-grade issues. Government bonds and Treasury notes were all stronger. The long term 4%s advanced %. First mortgage rails were up fractianally, but the greatest improvement and most de- mand appeared in the newer 4% and 4% per cent issues, such as those of the St. Paul, Southern Pacific, Chesa- peake & Ohlo, Nickle Plate, Frisco and Rock Island. Junior issues were also stronger, with a rally of a point in the new Erie 58 from the figure to which they declined when the syndicate was dissolved and substantial gains in Chicago, Great s, Missouri Pacific G. Western :rzlhnd u and Oregon & Washing- to! Convertibles were not much benefitted by lower money as the tendency of the s',ock market was irregular to lower. Ex- ceptions in this group were Texas Cor- poration .55, Philadelphia & Reading 6s, Atchison, Bal and Royal Dutch 4Y%s. Both of the tele- Pphone company’s convertibles were soft. e ractional m Dodge Goodyur 5s, Brooklyn-Man- halun Transit 6s, a gain of a point in Interborough 5s and a decline of 2 points in Third Avenue 4s reflected con- ditions in this de it of the mar- ket. United States Rubber 5s were not much changed with the announcement of & new issue of 6 per cent notes to retire the 7'4s maturing August 1. Noneofumlmlndllnluuum much benefitted by the reduced discount rates abroad. Japanese descriptions were steady. There was a slight improvement In prices and tone of German munici- pals, public utilities md bank mortgages.
