A—S8 (. . GRAY OFFERS FARM A PROCRAM Law to Equalize Value of Dollar and Commodities Advocated. By the Associated Press. Enactment of legislation at the short gession of Congress to equelize the value of the dollar and of commodities was advocated yesterday by Chester H. Gray, Washington representative of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Gray told newspaper men that Con- gress also should amend the agricul- tural marketing act to provide for sev- eral alternative methods of handling surplus crops, should ease the burden | of the $10,000,000,000 of mortgages on the American farmer, and should vote for complete Philippine independence within five years. In addition, he said the session would “have a splendid opportunity to dem- | onstrate whether or not the American farmer is to be protected equally with American industrialists.” However, he added, “it is extremely doubtful whether the tariff question as it relates to ag- riculture -will make much progress this ‘Winter.” Income Drop Cited. Explaining that the gross income of agriculture in 1932 is estimated at $5.- 250,000,000 compared with $12,000,000,- 000 for 1929, he said: | . and proce | secsion with utterings, squawkings, false starts and nervous settlings, condemnations not only by farmers, but by the whole population will undoubtedly rest on their shoulders. “The American Farm Bureau Feder- ation,” he said, “will expect the session \to do monumental things for agricul- ture because it is realized nationally that prosperity cannot return until, first, the earning power of agriculture has been recovered and until, second, the earning power of the farm popula- tion has reached its former levels.” Requirements Outlined. Gray said it should be “a simple thing to throw into gear the slight ad- ditional mechanism to secure for our whole Nation the honest dollar.” “The basic law is already on the statute books,” he added, “and all that is needed is to amend that law by giv- ing the Federal Reserve Board more power over discount and rediscount Tates, more authority in regard to in- terest matters, more flexibility in issu- ing Government obligations against the gold reserve, and a complete authoriza- tion, if necessary, to limit the number of grains of gold in the dollar as rela- tionships between commodities and dollar values tend to fluctuate.” Discussing the handling of surplus productions, Gray said no one method “can be said to be adequate for all con- ditions. “Accordingly, the equalization fee, the debenture, and any workable form of the allotment plan should be put into the marketing act for optional use by the Farm Board.” INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERS TO MARK 25TH BIRTHDAY Silver Anniversary Meeting to Be Held by Chemical Group 3 Pays Beginning December 7.
