THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18. 1020. FARMERS' AGENT PLANNING FIGHT ON REPUBLICANS SAcretary of Organization De dares Platform Gives No Assurances to Agricultural Interests. o f Washington, June 15. Thor oughly angered by what he consid ers the betrayal by the republicans of the farmers of America, Benja min C. Marsh, secretary and direc tor of legislation of the Farmers' National Council, today embarked upon a campaign of publicity planned to convince politicians the farmer vote is a power to be reck oned with at election time. Mr. Marsh has just returned from Chi cago, where he presented the plat form of the Farmers' National Council to a committee of the re publican national convention. Platform Pledges Nothing. "The section of the republican platform on agriculture does not Contain a single declaration to re assure the farmers of America," aid Mr. Marsh. "While it ex presses the belief of the republican party that the crux of the present difficulty in the farming industry lies in prices, labor and credit, and that the situation can be improved by adequate farm representation in appointments of government offi cials and commissions, it does not pledge this representation. Why "Offers No Clues." Mr. Marsh asserted the platform mentions several specific evils in the agricultural situation without at ttmptintr to provide a remedy for ihem and declared no suffering pa tient could ever be persuaded that diagnosis is as good as the cure. Failure of the platform to pro vide for amendment of the federal farm loan act to facilitate acquisi tion of farm land, lack of a pledge to enact legislation to give farmers long time credits and failure to au thorize continuance of the federal trade commission were other short comings with which Mr. Marsh charged the framers of the repub lican platform.

Plan to Allocate Sugar Supply Among Industries Washington, June IS. A. W. Riley, special assistant to the attor ney general, will return to his New York office today to direct the cam paign by which it is hoped to supply the demand for sugar during the coming canning season. He will conduct the work through a national sugar distributing com mittee, composed of representatives of refiners, sugar importers and in dustries consuming s'ugar and wholesale grocers. The plan in general, is to allocate the available sugar according to requirements of the canning needs and the needs of the housewives for canning pur poses.
