PRESIDENT EMPHASIZES FOR
MER DECLARATION MADE
AT CONVENTION
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20,
(JP)—Administration officials had
their ears tuned for the reaction
to the appeal of the President to
farm organizations to compose
their differences over the meas
ures for farm relief and present
a solid front during the congress
ional consideration and such leg
islation from which they are hope
ful of results.
From the warning from Hoover
that there is division in the ranks
the farmers themselves feel en
couraged that those opposing all
farm relief will bring only delays.
The danger of failure, since the
debenture plan of the National
Grange, has been the chief point
and issue between agricultural or
ganizations. There has been a gen
eral opinion that Hoover had dif
ferences over in mind although he
did not mention this in any sug
gestion.
In the appeal to farm organi
zations, issued yesterday in res
ponse to inquiries from newspaper
men, the President emphasized his
previous declarations that a def
inite plan and principles had been
adopted at the Kansas City Con
vention; that it was a Party plan
and not from any individual
i group. ^ ,... ■ ,
