WASHINGTON, Dee. 11. It was
finite unusual, the way President
Roosevelt got involved off and on the
record in the constitutional argu
ments on the
AAA before the
supreme court.
His Chicago
farm speech was
referred to facet
iously off-stage
by some court
lawyers as "the
best brief yet
filed in the case"
for the govern
ment. What 'they
meant was that
the speech seem
to be a subtle

warning to anyone who would hinder
or overthrow the AAA program.
The warning was available to all
whrt read newspapers, and supreme
court justices are supposed to be the
most constant readers In Washing
ton Bxit lawyers on the other side,
alro brought Mr. Roosevelt In as their
best witness against the government.
In their briefs, they cited the presi
dent's Atlanta speech on two of the
biggest points in dispute. They used
it to contend that the purpose of the
processing tax was not to get revenue,
but to control prodxtction. and that
the AAA act was not emergency leg
islation. What the president said In Atlanta
and In Chicago was to the effect that
Improved farm conditions were due
to the AAA, which brought control
and limitation of production, thus
Increasing prices. He also indicated
It was a rather permanent program.
Thus, -the president's unprcdente.d
appearances in the case appeared to
cancel off.
All industry seemed to be repre
sented at George L. Berry's peculiar
convention. The Invitation refusals
rent in by the major industries must
have been for official effect.
Of course, some decliners were
standing behind the marble columns,
peeping out. Others affected mild of
ficial disguises. One even tried to get
a press pass from a newsman so he
could be up front to observe all that
went on without being officially In
attendance, also, nearly every indus
try strong enough to employ a Wash
ington lobbyist, sent him there In
one form or another.
That is to say, the expected hap
pened. The big bulk of industry of

Critics of Agricultural Pro
gram Defied in Resolu
tion Adopted at Conven
tion of Farm Organization
CHICAGO, Dec. 11. (AP) Urging
upon President Roosevelt a man
aged currency policy, delegates to
the American farm bureau federa
tion 17th annual convention today
adopted unanimously a resolution
endorsing the AAA and defying Us
critics.
The farmers demand for a "defi
nite policy of currency management
to maintain stable price levels in
line with fixed costs from genera
tion to generation," was contained
in
second resolution which aa- !
serted : "Depressions are man made
and they can be man-controlled.
Congress was requested to appoint
a Joint committee to study depres
sion causes.
The resolutions committee, headed
by Charles E. Hearst of Des Moines
reported 17 general resolutions for
adoption.
The foreword reaffirmed the farm
ers' faith in "the established order
of our government," with "such
modifications in the organic lawa
aa experience and mature Judgment
show are necessary."
Asserting two and one-half years'
experience had proved the sound
ness of AAA principles, the report
said: "We reaffirm our position that
the processing tax la a tariff for
agriculture, and must be continued
eis the most effective means by
which agriculture may work toward
pr.rlty prices."
The fiscal affairs of the govern
ment, said the resolution on federal
financial policy, "should not long
continue out of balance."
Thei report added, there should
be "no reduction In taxation poli
cies until the federal debt shall
have been greatly diminished."
Speedy enactment of legislation to
control "speculation on commodity
exchanges" was also recommended
aa proposed In a bill favorably re
ported by the United States sen
ate's committee on agriculture.
JAPAN SUBMITS
LONDON. Eng., Dee. 11. ( AP) Ad
miral Osami Nagno placed Japan's
demands for a navy as large as that
of any major world power squarely
before the delegates to the interna
tional naval conference today in a
second round discussion of a problem
which has threatened to wreck" the
parley.
The admiral, who spoke 4ft min
utes, was the only speaker and the
session was adjourned until tomor
row when the American and British
delegates will reply to the Japanese
demands.
The Japanese thesis was that a ton
nage limit should be set, but with
the "great naval powers" granted
equality, "offensive warships" abol
ished or drastically reduced, and a
"state of non-menace and no-aggression"
achieved.
