Farmers for
U. S. Control
of Surplus
Inflation of Currency Through. In
crease in Gold Price Pro
posed by Committee.
Chicago, Dec. 7. Without debate,
the American Farm Bureau feder
ation Wednesday unanimously adopt
ed a resolution advocating currency
inflation by advancing the price of
gold from $20 to $30 an ounce.
Without specific endorsements, an
other resolution would give the farm
bureau authority for supporting any
plan for control of surplus farm
crops.
The currency resolution would in
crease the price of gold from around
$20 to $30 a fine ounce. The amount
of gold behind each dollar of cur
rency would be reduced from 23.22
to 16 grains. The result would be
that each dollar would buy less, caus
ing an increase in prices.
Bureau Proposed.
Creation of a "stabilization bu
reau in tne Treasury opanraeni was
proposed, to be charged with rcspon
sibility for making future changes in
gold prices necessary to maintain
commodity prices at the 1S20-1929
average.
"We belive the ubove method
is the only sound way to per
petuate the gold standard," the
resolution said. No mention was
made of remonetization cf sil
ver. "Commodity rrlcen have con
tinually fallen," it declared,
"and conditions havo ncv be
come so acute that unless arbi
trary and effective measures are
taken to reduce tho purchasing
power of the dollar to a point
where commodity prices are re
stored to a level whero major
portions of long-term public and I
private debts vero contracted,
greater disaster and distress are
sure to come upon cur poople."
Other proposed resolution advo
cated: Reorganization of agricultural
credit machinery for long-term re
financing of farm mortgages at "very
low" interest rates.
Tariff protection, for ubctitute3 for
commodities as well ao tho commodi
ties themselves.
Revision of the "nationr.l commer
cial banking structure" to protect
depositors. ,; . .., , .
;. Independence of the Philippines-...
Budget balancing' through econ
omy rather than increasing "the gen
eral tax burden."
Want Woman Aid.
Further promotion of farm co-operatives
through the acriculiural
marketing act.
Early completion of negotiations
for the St. Lc.vrrcr.co and Iakes-to-gulf

Appointment of a farm woman as

Laguardia Raps
at the Brewers
and Distillers
Tells Them to Get Out of Washing
: i ..ton. Le3t They Kill Repeal
, 33c er Hearing Animated.
Washington. A spectacular de
mand that distillers and brewers "gey
out and stay out of Washington" was
flung at them by Representative La
Guardla of New York before the
house ways and means committee in
what he describes as a "warning"
against abuses that might defeat re
peal of the eighteenth amendment.
The fiery anti-prohibitionist stalked
into tho quiet committee room and
injected into tho hearings on the
democratic beer bill what he termed
an "unpleasant but truthful state
ment." He testified after a score of
representatives of the brewing and
allied industries had told the group
that federal revenue, employment
and commerce would be improved by
the legislation of four percent beer.
LaGuardia banged the witness
stand and shouted the brewer "should
have no right to help" in drafting a ;
bill effecting the liquor laws. The
earlier they left, he eaid, the better
it would be for the anti-prohibition
move.
Representative Rainey, democratic
floor leader, who was presiding, in
terrupted with: "Wo invited them
here, you know; they are here at
the committee's request."
"Yes, I know that," LaGuardia re
torted, "I am Just telling you my
personal opinion. I want to advise
laAv and abuses of it follow, the eight-
th9 wets that if this bill becomes
eenth - amendment will never be re
pealed."
LaGuardia was quickly answered
by Schafer, Wisconsin, who said he
resented tho LaGuardia statement.
"They came here at the Invitation of
the committee that is trying to get
facts," Schafer bellowed. "You can't
get facts from Bishop Cannon, but
from those people in the industry who
know them."
The flurry near the . end of the
third day of hearings came as a shock
to the representatives of brewerB and
distillers, tho bottle, co-operage, farm
and other industries who had spent
hours in building up their arguments
for the measure.- State Journal.

Sunday Radio
Advertising May
be Made Illegal
Congress Also to Consider Bills to
Promote Educational Programs ;
Want Free Speech.
Washington, Dec. 6 Two bills de
signed to promote educational broad
casting, and a third which would
prohibit radio advertising on Sun
day, are pending in senate and house
committees as the "lame duck" con
gress gets under way.
A bill introduced by Senator Fess
of Ohio provides for the allocation of
15 per cent of the wave lengths in
the program broadcasting band to
educational institutions or services.
Another senate , measure, introduced
by Metcalf of Rhode Island, call3 for
the appropriation of money to be used
by the federal radio commission in
! co-operating with states In broad
casting educational programs.
Would Ban Sunday Advertising
Of considerable interest to radio
listeners and the general public are
a bill banning radio advertising on
Sunday and a resolution designed to
guarantee free Epeech In broadcast
ing, both of which were introduced
by Representative Amile of Wiscon
sin at the last session.
The fact that the Fess bill was not
pushed in the previous session is
ascribed by educators here to the eco
nomic inability of educational radio
stations to take advantage of the op
portunity to obtain additional broad
casting facilities.
In recent years there has been a
marked decrease in the number of
college-operated stations, ascribed in
largo measure to the lack of funds.
Somo institutions have found affilia
tion with commercial stations a more
feasible and effective method of get
ting their programs on the air.
Owing to further curtailment of
college budgets, it is considered un
likely these institutions will press for
enactment of the Fess bill at the
present session.
A Special Requirement.
The Metcalf bill would require all
broadcasting, stations to set aside a
minimum of 5 per cent of their time
for educational programs prepared by
qualified persons. It would appropri
ate $10,000 annually for four years
for the federal radio commission to
promote 'Education Lr-bV': radio Eery
state would have the "power "to ap
point one of its education officials to
co-operate with the commission.
Because of the urgency of more
pressing measures and the demand
for curtailment of governmental ex
penditures, prospects for passage of
this bill also are considered dubious.
