Many legislative
(Changes Asked by
Farm Federation
Passage of Several New Meas
ures Urged in Recommenda-
4 tiohs to Congress Oppose
Policy of Treasury.
Indianapolis, Dec.' 8. Enactment
of a "legislative program, including
'change in the tariff, the income tax,
' the . Esch-Cummins transportation
tct and the passage of several new
. incisures was asked of congress to
day by resolutions adopted at the
' f.huua! convention of the American
' Farm Bureau federation. President
elect Harding also was requested to
appoint' a secretary of agriculture
( who has a practical understanding of
f all phases of farming. Among the
policies enunciated by the resolu
tions was the federation's opposition
t ,to strikes and lockouts.
".Further, the resolutions declared
f the federation's opposition to what
' it said seemed to be the policy of the
Treasury department and the federal
reserve board for deflation, and the
: request was mae that, bankers and
- merchants extend farmers' obliga
tions' to secure "immediate relief
'Jifom the present economie crisis"
confronting the farmers. In this
connection the resolutions said:
Deflation Condemned.
"We are opposed to the policy of
.; drastic , and precipitate deflation
, which seems to have been instituted
' by our federal reserve board and
Our Treasury department and look
upon it as dangerous. to the best ih-
terets of the entire natipn during
the present crisis.. Reasonable con
traction was necessary but drastfc
.deflation as now practiced, has
; paused widespread disaster. "A
;s.-"We request the sincere co-operation
of all banking and commercial
: interests in our efforts to get immc
: Uiate relief from the present economic
, crisis, by the extension and renewal
' of farmers' obligations in order that
' there may , be orderly marketing jpf
tliis year's crops." ( . 1
,' Tht adoption of the resolutions
which it was announced was by an
xinanimous vote, preceded the clos-
, iug session tonight of the convention
at which - officers were elected. A
, ncuncement also was, made of the
' appointment, of acommIttee to meet
; with bankers merchants and public j
. officials at Chicago on nday to con
; aider the organization of a $100,000,
, ;000 export trade corporation under

Private Jnittatfion, , ,
During" discussion of the resolu
tions, Ur. Cunningham, chairman of
the reoIutionsommittee, said that
the export corporation was not in
dorsed by the committee because it
will be a private, institution, in wroth
connection he also stated, that the
resolutions similarly were silent as
to the joint stock land banks. '
The legislative program asks of
congress, immediate enactment of a
new tariff law, simplification of the
income tax law with a provision
preventing , treasury! officials from
making interpretative ruling as to
the law's application; a law assur
ing farmers of unrestricted rights to
bargain collectively federal control
of all interstate agencies dealing in
grain productsand meat;; enactment
of the truth-in-fabrics bill; legisla
tive orohibition of short selling in
agricultural products and amendment
of the transportation act so as to
preserve state regulation of intrastate
commerce and Car movements. The
discussion also declared apposition
to any daylight saving law.
A Opposed to Strike.
-In' the declaration of principles pf
the federation the ' resolutions . in
cludes requests and demands upon
several federal agencies as well ashe
reference to strikes and ' lockouts.
Sympathy was expressed for the la
boring man but the resolutions said
"we are unalterably opposed to or
ganized - strikes and sympathetic
lockouts which interfere with the
orderly conduct of busines.," , ; .
The Department of Justice , was
esked to delay approval of any plan
for disposing of the stock yards
owned by Chicago packets until a
federation committee might consider
all proposed plans. . The federal
trade commission was asked to stop'
the practice of the steel industry in
basing prices xyi fittsburgh quota
tions plus freight rates. The Inter
state Commerce commission- was
asked to give preferential freight
rates on agricultural fertilizer.
Protest was voiced by the resolu
tions against "guaranteeing a fixed
return to public utilities and railroads
on a cost-plus basis." in which it
was asserted that the Interstate Com
merce commission fixed the valua
tion of the railroads of the country
at $5,000,000,000 more than their
commercial value, causing "sn un
just imposition on the 'American
people." ' ; t ' ,
Construction of the Great-Lakes-to-the-sea
deep waterways also was
favored.

the committee will not be permitted
to visit Great Britain . v
' The decision of. Sir Auckland
Geddes, the British ambassador, not
to a vise the passports was made
known in a letter sent to William
MacDonald. secretary of the com
mission,, oy R. L. Cratgte, first sec
retary of the embassy.'
; The better fofllbws 1 v
."With reference to your applica
tion for vsa of the passports of
certain gentlemen whom, your com
mittee have designated as their repre
sentatives to proceed, to the United
Kingdom to investigate conditions
in Ireland, I am directed by His
Britannic mapesty's ambassador to
inform you that the, proposed visit
to British territory is noto. agreeable
to his majesty's government. Visas
will, therefore, not be affixed to the
passports in question. The pass
port officer in New York has been
instructed accordingly. .
, 'This decision has been reached
after full consideration of the . cir
cumstances of the case and I am to
eter you to the ambassador .letter
of Octobet 23, la which he informed
you that he wss unable to believe
that the truth could be established
until there had been a period ' of
quiet in Ireland - and then only. by
persons of. the greatest experience
of the laws of evidence, with power
to compel the production of -books,
papers and records and that any
other form of inquiry, would, in hii
opinion, lead only to a mass of state
ments unsupported by facts being
made for propaganda purposes.
"Sir Auckland Geddes had ven
tured to hope that the full meaning
and significance of these observations
would have been clear.
"In view of the fact that the am
bassador's letter to you of, the 23d
of October, lat, appeared in ; the
press, I am to inform yon that this
fetter will be published." k '
