F. is not licked.’ " As men started climbing-into the roped ring from which Coffin was speaking.

KANSAS CITY, October 5.—Officers of Kansas Grain Co-operatives testified yesterday before a congressional com- mittee investigating reputed Govern- ment competition with private busi- ness that they were not coerced into affiliating with the Farmers’ National Grain Corporation. Testimony pfeviously had been given the committee by representatives of various boards of trade that co-opera- tive assoclations joined the grain cor- poration through’ fear of reprisal. Following the denial by the Kansas grain associations, Frank A. Theis, for- mer president of the Kansas City Board of Trade, and M. W. Borders, Kansas City. representing the American Fed- eration of Business, testified the| charges were not directed at the Kan- sas Co-operatives. Agencies Are Legitimate. Both witnesses explained the accusa- tions were aimed at the Farmers' Na- tional Grain Corporation and similar farm board setups for controling cotton and live stock marketing Arthur J. Mellott, Kansas City, Kans., attorney for the Kansas Co-operative Grain Dealers Association, said the Kansas Co-operatives resented a state- ment by Board of Trade representa- tives at a former hearing early in Au- gust that ““a group of falsely called co- operatives were neither farmer owned nor farmer controlled. and were in competition with private grain trade.” “We seek to answer those charges that were made both directly and by innuendo.” Mellott said. “We'll show that the agencies are legitimate and are to be & climax to co-operative market- ing for the benefit of the farmer.” Last Session Today. Mr. Borders said there never had been any opposition by the group he repre- sented to true co-operative marketing. His objection, he said. was to the Fed- eral Government “dipping into the Treasury and going into private busi- ness.” The Grain Dealers Association mem- bers accepted the explanations with ex- pressions of satisfaction and Repre- sentative Joseph Shannon, Democrat of Missouri, announced that after a hear- ing today at which insurance men and a group of Missouri bankers are to ap- pear the committee's investigations will be discontipued until November 14. BYRD CHARGES G. 0. P. INCREASED DISTRESS Former Governor Says Democratic Pledges Would Aid Gradual Recovery. By the Associated Press HAMPTON, Va., October 5—Scoring Republican policies as contributory to economic depression, former Governor Harry Flood Byrd last night asserted Democratic platform pledges are definite and certain and “their redemption will contribute to the gradual recovery of these United States from the desperate iliness they now suffer.” “Of course international dislocations and confusions intensified the depres- sion here.” Byrd said. “But Republic- an policies contributed greatly to the cause and increased our distress. “Our last prosperity was artificial: it was in a large degree the result of Re- publican policies, and it was these pol- icies that ultimately brought disaster upon us.” Byrd, chairman of the Executive Finance Committee of the national Democratic organization. delivered his address before a rally of first district Democrats. “Until Mr. Hoover explained to us the causes of the depression.” he said, “we thought that good Republican doctrine was that America was self- sufficient, and that we could be pros- perous and happy behind our high tariff walls and let the rest of the world go hang. But Mr. Hoover has now made it clear that the revised edition of the Republican gospel is that good times are made exclusively in America by Republicans while bad times are either imported from Europe or manu- factured here by Democrats.” INVITATION OF McADOO DECLINED BY GOV.
