202 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF Mr. KEHOE. Yes; undoubtedly. But effective to whom? Mr. Jones. It would be effective for the commodity it covers. Mr. Kenoe. I think.to the middleman, myself. Mr. Jones. If you take this fund and turn it over to the same people the equalization fee turned it over to, it will be just as effective no matter where the fund comes from, will it not? Mr. Kenoe. I do not know that it would. I do not think it would reach back to the grower. Mr. JonEs. As a matter of fact, Mr. Adkins’s figures are wholly erroneous, because he presumed you are going to have them in force at a specific figure in all of it. You can have them in effect when- ever they are needed, and you can not have them so they will collect just such an amount as 18 necessary to run operations in respect to the commodities. Then you can take the same machinery in the McNary-Haugen bill advisory council or export corporations and use the funds that are collected for the purpose of promoting the advantages of the farmers themselves. 7 Mr. KenoE. Mr. Jones, it is my hope and my belief, probably based upon the hope that many of these commodities would be shown, when the information was obtained by Government authority that there was no alarming surplus in this country. I am quite sure it would have been proven in our case of tobacco—that there would be no necessity for the operation at all this year. To illus- trate, there would be no necessity for calling upon the board to pfs at all, because tobacco is selling for 30 cents a pound. . : Jones.
