WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.
Whether the administration will
Bubmit any new farm relief pro
posals at the cumins session uf
congress, or merely will stand on
its recommendations of the past,
has become a much debated ques
tion. It generally Is agreed that
the co-operative marketing legisla
tion, advocated unsuccessfully last
winter by the president's agricul
tural conference, will again fco en
dorsed by the White House and
majority leaders in congress be
lieve that in one form or another
It can be passed, but the outlook
for a farm legislative program of a
more general character is dubious.
Early last month it was announc
ed the summer White House at
Swampscott that President Cool-
Idge would reassemble the agricul
tural conference to draft such a
general farm program. Secretary
Jardine, however, does not favor I
that course and in addition the
president has heard advice of vary- j
tug character from many outside
sources.
As a result. It Is the belief of
pome high officials that If the agrl-"
cultural conference meets at all
this fall, It merely will be to draw
up a fina in port on the investiga
tions alredy mad-. and reinforce
the recommendations already sub
mitted. 1
It is the belief of Secretary Jar
dine that the period of agricultur
al emergtney U passing. He fav
ors legislation to foster co-operative
marketing, but- aside from
that he feels that agriculture can
work out Its own problems and
will be better off for It.
That President Coolidee himself
has prown more doubtful over the
wisdom of re-assambllng his con
ference of experts was Indicated
when, just belore he left Swamp
scott, a White House official said
a final decision on the point would
be reached only after consulting
Mr. Jardine. Now the president
appears to have left the matter al
most entirely up to the agriculture
secretary and Robert K. Carey of
Wyoming, chairman of the confer
ence. No preparations are being made
at the agriculture department for
a meeting of the conference of
which Mr. Jardine himself fa a
member. Instead, the secretary Is
preparing to personally discuss the
problem with representatives of
various farm organizations whom
he plans to cat' to Washington
some time this foil.
President Cool idee plans to ad
dress the convention of the Amer
ican farm bureau federation to be
h.'ld In Chicago. December 7 to 9.
He Informed C. E. Pradfute. pres
ident of the federation today In a
reply to an Invitation, that he ex
pected to accept.
Representatives of agriculture
from practically all paris of the
country will be In attendance at

plaining of the "arbitrariness"- or
Secretary of State Kellogg's action
in ordering the revocation of his
visa "on the basis of a few words",
taken from Mr. Saklatvala's parlia

LONDON, Sept. 17. Shapurji
Saklatvala, communist member of
parliament, barred from the United
States as a member of the British
delegation to the inter-parllament-ary
conference in Washington
blames Secretary of State Kellogg
for his troubles. . ,
Formally notified this morning
that his passport visa had been re
voked, the communist M. P. said
that Mr. Kellogg had "become Im
bued with pettlcoated aristocratic
ideas of Gnat Ilrltaln to such an
extent that he still clings to them."
Mr. Saklatvala expressed the
opinion that the secretary of state,
by his cancellation of the visa, had
violated constitutional practices as
twell as the, laws regulating the
working of the interparliamentary
'roufereiices, and had "disregarded
the ordinary laws ot political de
cency." "The Americans," he added,
'agreed to act as my host and yet
at the last moment, I am refused
admission to the country. Can It
be that Americans are afraid of the
I truth?
I "I had no intention of carrying
on any propaganda In the United

i laws and the constitution, if the
'American government desired to
:be fair and just It should have al
'lowed me to enter the country and
then referred the question of my

ances for the difficulty of the task,
it was impossible to avoid the con

that Secretary Mellon, who "has
never been a prohibitionist," has
failed to give to the prohibition en
forcement oause the same kind of
ledaershlp he has contributed to
th conduct c-f o'her official duties.
In addition, prohibition aKents,

"There has ben no Indication
