Hog raisers gave conflicting views on the wicdom of/ the dcmestic allotment farm price-raising bill before one Sen- ate committee today, while another heard an appeal for legislation to ease the agricultural mortgage situation. Earl C. Smith, president of the Illi- nols Agricultural Association, indorsed the allptment bill in its application to hogs, saying the increased cost to the | consumer would be slight compared to the benefit to the farmer. Several other witnesses including F. C. Collins of Denver, president of the American National Live Stock Associa- tion, took the opposite view, saying never would it be possible to right the price discrepancy between agricultural and other producu “by any arbitrary price-fixing plan.” Interest Cut Visualized. At the hearing on farm mortgage and debt relief measures, C. B. Jennett of Chicago, vice president of the First Trust Joint Stock Land Bank, said suspension of mortgage foreclosures by some insurance companies has been motivated by “business policy” and in- dicated that some of them may be forced to reduce their interest rates in order to collect. Assailing arguments advanced by the meat packers, Smith replied to the con- tention previously advanced by G. F.Swift of Chicago, on behalf of the Institute of American Meat Packers, that pork prices would go up 100 per cent under the bill, causing the public to turn to meats and resulting in making much of the hog production unsaleable. | Smith asserted the increase in price during the “initial marketing period” provided in the bill would be only 1% to 21; cents per pound. The increased price, he said, would cost the average family of four only $10.80 a year. Sees Bigger Buying Power. He argued this would be more than ‘worth while to bring about an increase of $200.000.000 to $250,000,000 in the buying power of farmers. Asserting 65 per cent of the con- sumer cost is ‘“now being absorbed somewhere between the processor and the consumer,” Smith said he was “not ready to admit” the increased price to the farmer would be reflected in added gost to the consumer. Smith said the bill would not cause hogs to become unsalable, contending the 20 per cent production’ cut required would bring about adjustment between lupply and demand. Harvey, a Wauneta, Nebr., nmmck producer, opposed the bill s | resistance by farmers in many States. Hull Measure Favored. One plan that found considerable favor was Senator Hull, Democrat, of Tennessee. It would au- thorize the 'Reconstruction Finance Corporation to devote $1,000,000,000 to loans for paying interest instaliments, and delinquent taxes and obtaining the agreement of the holder of the mortgage, in return for these payments, to grant a two-year postponement: of foreglosure. This plan was advanced by Hull as an “emergency” measure, which ‘would in no way interfere with the broader | this | program bound up in the “emergency farm credit” bill introduced by the Democratic leader, Robinson of Arkan- 588 on behalf of the farm groups. Robinson himself has expressed the view that it might be well to get behind an emergency measure and let more permanent relief legislation await a bet- ter opportunity for the intensive con- sideration it would require. His own bill calls for $1,000,000,000 corporation to lend money to the nrm ers, strengthening of the Federal lanc hh.nks n:g“nquiduion of the joint mek MEXICO BACKS ARMS CUT President Rodriguez Says Nation to Comply With Duty. MEXICO CITY, February 2 (#).— Asked yesterday for his views on dis- armament, President Rodriguez asserted that Mexico is a staunch advocate of woild disarmament. This nation “will comply with her duty in every respect to secure such ideals and plans,” he said, adding, “un- doubtedly, the aspirations of |in international ?!l{:llflu :ln: flf'e;'l century-old opposition to the unifica- tion of the civi world.” The president made his statement in a telegram to H. J. Barret and others of the “World Peaceways, Inc.,” of New York, on the first anniversary of the Geneva Disarmament Conference. SEES WOMEN.
