committee.

Cannon submitted an exhaustive
report of astudy he had Just com
pleted wbi chrcsulted In his con
clusion that continuation of the
present policy "eventually will lead
to general curtailment, if not the
destruetlon ot the national pro-
gram. '
Estimating that 28 percent of the
farm units embraced In federal
projects were being operated by
tonanU, Cunnon doolared those and
"non - resident speculators" were
among the chief obstacles now nct
by tho bureau.

"Many units hnvo changed hand

in most enses the present' user Is

"The necessity nf the dopartnient

Tho witness- declared tho depart

Tim intuitu) tnerense of .national
