D, Aug. 1 (UP) —While the decision in the Geneva disarmament meeting was delayed for several days, President Cool- idge's interest today was turned to farm rellef with indications that a definite administration bill has been tentatively worked out by republi- can leaders for consideration in the December session of congress. The measure, it was learned, would create a $300,000,000 federal revolving fund for loans to coop- erative marketing assoclations. Thi funds would be used to build w: houses and store crops until a fair price could be obtained in the mar- ket. Three of the men who are sup- posed to have had a hand in work- ing out the bill are to arrive here this week for conferences with Mr. Coolidge about the farm situation. Senator Arthur Capper, republi- can, Kansas, sometimes called the leader of the farm bloe, was to ar- rive today for a short visit. Eugene Meyer, now head of the federal farm loan bureau, is expected wit in the next two or three s and Senator Simeon D. Fe republi- | can, Ohio, is due £ These three conferences are ex- pected to center around feasibility of the new measure. W Mr. Coolld had no direct part |n‘ framing the bill, information here is that it is to be considered the | administration measure and will be | championed by administration re- | publicans. As the bill now stands, it would provide for establishment of a fed- eral farm board of three members to be appointed by the president; that $25,000,000 be loaned to coop- erative associations for purchase of warehouses and creameries, and for $25,000,000 for operating expenses of the board and an advisory coun- cil consisting of seven members for each principal farm commodit The advisory council would be se- lected by the cooperative associa- tions. The bill eliminates the equaliza- tlon fee system of the McNary- Haugen bill and proceeds upon the idea that merchandizing is the key to the solution of the farmers' problem. It is proposed to enable farmers to warchouse their surplus and in- stead of lending them up to 60 per cent of value of their crop on stored produce, it would finance them up to 100 per cent. Statistical information 1s to be turnished cooperatives and pools which is designed to modify th risk of the government in financing disposal of the-surpius: Commodity stabilization corpora- tions would be established by the board, with one corporation to each commodity. Boards of directors of each corporation would consist of five members. Capital stock would be kept at a minimum to make government . participation unneces- sary and would be subscribed for by the cooperatives. Profits made by the corporations would be used for two purposes. An amount to be determined by the board would. go into the reserve fund to cover losses which might be sustained in unfavorable years. The remainder would go to mem- bers of interested cooperative or- ganizations in the form of dividends. Mr. Coolidge has not yet sanc- tioned the plan but inasmuch as it was worked out by those who have thus far followed his principles in the matter of farm relief, his ap- proval may not be difficult to ob- tain. Besides Senators Capper, Meyer and Fess, those who are said to have had a hand in the matter are Secretary of Agriculture Jardine and Secretary of Comme: Hoover.

Because of the natural increase in the demand, manufactt s are agreed on this point, differing only as to when a shortage will be felt, he said. This year his witnessed a gain in the industry of approximate- Iy 15 per cent over 1926, he said, pointing out that the frade as a whole is using crude rubber. Measures taken to increase the vileld include new planting and the discovery of the bud-grafting sys- tem, but they will have no effect on the situation for eight years, Mr. said. rank’ R. Henderson, of the Rubber Exchange, was mis- understood when he recently refer- red to the bud-grafting system, through which it is entirely liktly that production can be doubled, or even more than doubled,” he said. “Some took his remarks to mean that cheaper rubber could be ex- pected within a very short time, but they failed to take into considera- tion the fact that it requires eight years for rubber plants to reach the productive stage.” He said that from 1920 to 1924 there was no enough new planting done to take care of the increased demand. British restriction of rub- ber exportation, however, has result- ed in more planting, he said, but this has been done so recently that it can have no bearing on the situation for about eight years. Mr. O'Neil said that rubber manu- facturers do not expect Thomas A. disoh’s experiments to have an ap- preciable effect on the situation. “I don’t say that he can't get a plant that will produce rubber,” he explained, “but when ison attacks a farm product where labor is paid only 20 cents a day, he isn't follow- ing the lines laid down by most manufacturers. They go after the high cost lines.” He pointed out that labor costs in the rubber producing centers aver- age about six cents a pond, based on a daily wage of 20 cents. In America, he said, where farm labor receives approximately $5 a day, discovery of a plant that would grow here and wield even three times as much rubber as the best producers in the straits settlements would make production costs prohibitive. “lidison is going entirely out of his field,” he said. “His is a me- chani line. . But.if he wants to expériment, he'd better start on wheat or corn, where there s a much larger fleld for reducing cost The British restriction scheme has resulted in the Dutch rapidly tak- ing an important place as rubber producers, he said. When the orig- inal British scheme was put into ef- fect in 1923, he pointed out, the Dutch produced only 60,000 tons, whereas last year their production amounted to 210,000 tons. This year he believes they will produce 220,- 000 tons, or about+half of the world's supply. Rubber at its present president price of More thana Cry —a WARNING!

Despite the belief that there will be a rubber shortage in three years, Mr. O'Neil sees no immediate pros- pect for increased tire prices. How- ever, he dées think that tire prices will be higher next year, as he ex- pects the price of crud rubber to ad- vance. The tire business as a whole he said, 18 good and manufacturers are making money, although last year they took a loss because of the rapid decline in the price of crude rubber.

THRONE DISPUTED Crown Already Taken by An- other, Rumania Replies Paris, Aug. 1 (P—Former Crown Prince Carol's declaration that his renunciation of his rights to the Ru- manian throne was under duress and therefore not binding, is caus- ing but slight disturbance in Ru- manian quarters’ in Paris. It is pointed out that he placed himself on record as pretender to the throne, but that the throne is already occu- pied. His action may create a real Carol party in Rumania, his partisans say, or it may, according to his oppon- ents, prove to the world that he is definitely out of the running. Carol’'s statement gave no inkling of any determination to try to mount the throne immediately; he merely announced his candidacy and said he was waiting to be urged. Rumanians here say his avowed supporters in Rumania naturally are w because they would be opposing King Ferdinand’s will and constitu- They call attention to the fact that all of parliament, even the opposition, have accepted young been no open effort to upset Carol's renunciation.
