VALE PROJECT HELD
UP IN CONFERENCE
W 'ashington, D. C.—A le tte r from
P resident Coolidge's secretary of agri­
culture, W illiam M. Jardine, indorsing
the McNary farm bill before th e sen­
ate, started a drive for enactm ent of
legislation a t th is session. Chair­
man McNary of the senate agriculture
com m ittee announced he would as­
sem ble the com m ittee to consider it
during the holiday recess or imme­
diately th ereafter.
Seeking to avoid a n early extra ses­
sion of congress, which was prom ised
by H erbert Hoover in the event farm
relief was not disposed of at this term
of congress, a group ot congressional
leaders, Including S enator W atson of
Indiana, the prospective republican
leader of the senate next session. Join­
ed in the drive.
The letter was regarded at the cap-
l t d as an expression from the Cool­
idge adm inistration for the new farm
bill subm itted by S enator McNary and
as a desire of the present adm inistra­
tion to get the legislation through a t
this tim e.
In his le tte r to S enator McNary the
secretary of agriculture Indorsed the
bill, which would establish a federal
farm board with a $300.000,000 loan
fund, and declared: “I believe th a t It
should be passed as early as possible
in o rd er to make It applicable to the
1929 crop.”
HOOVER HAS GREAT
BRAZILIAN WELCOME
Rio De Janeiro. — A simple hand
clasp by two sharply contrasting fig­
ures m arked the renew al of bonds of
friendship betw een two g reat republics
of th e w estern world. Bowing and

er, who is to guide the destinies of
the United S tates a fte r March 4, was
received and welcomed by P resident
Luis, for the past two years in charge
of the adm inistration of the Brazilian
governm ent.
Mr. H oover was as deeply Impressed,
by the spontaneity of the welcome giv­
en by Brazil as he w as by the beauty
of the capital and the grandeur of the
m ountains which hem It in on all
sides, leaving only a gap of a little
more than one hundred yards for th e
vast flow of comm erce to and from
the world.
M essages were sen t by A m bassador
Fletcher from the battleship Utah In
behalf of Mr. H oover to the A m erican
am bassadors In Mexico and Cuba and
to the American m inister in Santo Do­
mingo, expressing the president-elect’s
regret a t his inability to visit those
