BATON ROUGE, La., July 30
(AP) Outlining the policy of
the federal farm board. Chairman
Alexander Legge declared here to
night before the American Insti
tute of Cooperation that its main
object would be the expansion and
strengthening vf the cooperative
movement.
"The federal farm hoard, as
now organized, is not going to'buy
or sell any commodity, agricultur
al or otherwise," Mr. Legge said.
"It is oar duty to assist you in do
ing a better job of It yourselves.
True, while we are assisting you,
we will want to have some voice in
the transaction, particularly when
you call for government funds to
aid in the operation.
"It is probable you may find
this board of real assistance, even
though yvu may not need financial
aid. The board will provide a con
tact between organized farmers
and the government and any or
ganized group may come to the
board for counsel, advice and as
sistance. Price Manipulation ot
To be Indulged in
"There are many people who
. think the board's activities should
be directed to the arbitrary rais
ing of the price level for agricul
tural products. The board cannot
raise the prices arbitrarily. Prices,
as has been said many times, are
determined by basic economic con
ditions. What the board hopes to
do is to assist farmers to become
better able to compete with other
groups in the markets of the na
tion and the world. It expects by
elding in the development of coop
erative associations to make pos
sible economies In marketing and
stabilized marketing conditions
and assist farmer to obtain their
just share of the national income
"The farmers and the public
must: be patient," concluded the
chairman, ''the problems of agri
culture are of long standing and
cannot be solved Overnight."

Reply Sent to-Paul V. McNutt, Commander of
American Legion, Declaring Suspension
Of Cruiser Building is Proper
WASHINGTON, July 30. (AP) President Hoover said
today in a letter to Paul V. McNutt, national commander of
the American Legion, that parity with Great Britain "is enun
ciated by our naval authorities as a complete defense of the
United States in any contingency."
Defense, the president added, Is all that. America is
seeking.
Mr. Hoover's letter was a reply to a communication from
the Legion commander my
which the latter criticized the
chief executive's action in
postponing the building of
three cruisers as tending toward
disparity with England. At the
same time McNutt suggested that
instead of deferring cruiser con
struction, America should"1 build
up Its fleet of vessels of this kind
until It Is equivalent to that of
Great Britain. That the president
is following the naval develop
ments and the. conversations in
London between . Ambassador
Dawes and Prime Minister Mac
Donald closely was signalized to
day in a visit to the White House
by Secretary Stimson and Joseph
P. Cotton, assistant secretary of

the house ways and means com

tariff bill, calling for a straight
duty of $2.40 a 100 pounds on Cu
ban sugar Imported Into this coun
try said here today that no sound
plan for a sliding scale tariff on
sugar had yet been offered.
"No one can say definitely that
some plan of a sliding scale tariff
on sugar could not be worked out
satisfactorily, but as yet I have to
see such plan presented," the con
gressman said.
"Any sliding scale scheme pre
sented must have the confidence
and support of the American pro
ducers, and until this la done I
don't think the plan shouldbe
even considered." he added.
Hawley expressed the opinion
that for the sliding scale tariff to
be satisfactory, a plan would have
to be offered which would pre
vent manipulation of prices by for
eign producers which would be
disadvantageous to American pro
ducers. "The rate of $2.40 will protect
domestic sugar production and the
prdouction and competition In do
mestic sugar in the United States

asserted.
