(Copyright, international News Service)
WASHINGTON, May 19. Thomas Edison anDeared
J before a secret night session of the senatorial agricultur
. al inquiry committee, and recommended the establishment
IS i by congress-of a titanic government warehouse system
Pioii by the government to store products for a full year
"if necessary" in oi'der'to insure a fair return. , ; .
This suggestion, the senators believed, would dve the
farmers virtual price fixing

in which to sell. ' "V '.v r '
Although stressing the warehouse credit system as the
most advantageous, Edison offered two other 'means of
relieving the agricultural depression. He approved direct
financial aid by the government to the farmers an also
suggested the establishment of livestock crefrits through
the federal reserve banks. Both of these measures would
be in addition to the warehouse credit plan. ,.
