Resents Implication. | “Most of them have been friendly to | me personally, but some of them sug- | gest that T am in the position of a rat | deserting a sinking ship. In the first place I resent the implication that I would desert the ship if it were sink- ing, and in the second place this boat is not sinking—it is not even in dis- tress " Legge had been back at his old post as president of the International Har- | vester Co., about one month. Back in | the swing of private life—which is | greatly preferred by this farm-born ex- | | ecutive—he had at last found time to | look over some of the press comments | on his resignation and on the Farm Board in general. “They say ‘the old man was smart— he got out while the getting was goo They write about me as if I were dead, Legge said with a wry smile. “You got here at a good time. I'm good and mad.” Board TIs Going Strong. “I joined the board on the distinct | understanding that I would on| through the organization peri appoiptment being for one year. Gen- eral business conditions last Summer made it seem advisable to carry on until the board was more firmly established. {1t is now a going concern and going | strong. Real progress is being made to- ward improving the situation of agri- culture.” The Farm Board's basic job, said its | ex-chairman, is the organization of Legge inveighed against editorial | farmers. “The critics and others have Jost sight of this fact when they con- | sider the stabilization and financing | operations,” he said. “They're hollering about the sideshow |-and forgetting about the circus.” Although he considered it incidental to the Farm Board's principal work, | | Legge said he was certain the boar | stabilizing operations in wheat and cot ton in the “extreme emergency” cf last | October prevenied a market collapse that Would have meant ruin to many holders of grain and their creditors. i ‘ Action Prevented Disaster. | “The day this action was announced | | was ‘Black Monday’ for rural banking,” | | he said. “On that morning in the State | | of Arkansas alone 62 banks failed to | {open their doors. Similar disaster | threatened many grain-growing sec- tions.” | | Legge agreed to the assumption that | that board would probably lose con- siderable money because of the stabiliza- tion operations, but he did not antici- | pate any serious difficulty in disposing | of the holdings. “Surpluses are gradu- | ally taken cave of. whether thev're seat- tered out or in the hands of one organi- zation.” “But whatever the ultimate cost of the Parm Board’s stabilization may be,” | he added. “it will be small comvared with the resuitant benefits to the farm- | ers and to the country ar a whole.” |RESTAURANT PADL(_)CKING ' ASKED OF DISTRICT COURT Seventeenth Street Premises May Be Closed—Policeman Cites Liquor Purchases.
