324 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF ticular committee; and I can think of no more delightful subject upon which to hear a valedictory from this very charming valedic- torian than a discussion of the debenture plan by Hon. Tom Con- nally of Texas. [Apvlause.] STATEMENT OF HON. TOM CONNALLY, REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM TEE STATE OF TEXAS Mr. ConnarrLy. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, I thank you for your indulgence for just a few minutes and for this Ketcham, for giving me this opportunity to make a few observations sense of the term anywhere. I hove to be around these parts for a long while yet. Mr. Harr. In higher degree. Mr. Connarry. I thank the gentleman from Michigan, Mr. Ketcham, for giving me this opportunity to make a few observations in reference to agricultural legislation. Probably most of you know I voted against the McNary-Haugen bill. I have been abused by many cooperative representatives here who are drawing pretty handsome salaries. But I have been trying to vote for the farmer, whether he belonged to a cooperative organiza- tion or not; and what I wanted to suggest to the committee this morning is that it seems to me as a Member of Congress that 1t is about time for this committee and for the Congress to quit fooling the farmer and really pass some practical measure that stands some chance of becoming a law. We know when the Haugen bill was up before a lot of gentlemen said that the President would veto it; a great many others just as solemnly, who had been down and eaten some corn cakes with the President a few mornings, were just as sure he was going to approve it. It was easy for those who voted either way to console themselves. But we know now that he did veto it and we know now that if he did have the nerve to veto it once he has got nerve enough to veto it again. It would be very easy for us to come along and say, “ We will have the McNary-Haugen bill or nothing, and we will take it over and put it on the President’s doorstep and let him veto it if he wants to.” That will get you some farmer votes probably; it will get you the loyal devotion of some cooperatives, and a lot of them that do not understand the situation will still vote for you. But for the farmer who is on the farm that really wants some action, that 1s not going to get you very far as soon as he finds out the truth about the thing. That is what the “co-ops” did last year. They de- manded the Haugen bill or nothing and they got nothing. I have been down mixing among the farmers. They are not fools; they are not all being fooled by these maneuvers of political farmers up here in Washington. There is a whole lot of difference between a high-salaried lobbyist, whose job will play out as soon as real relief ts Franted, and the farmer back home who works on the farm with I know something about farming. I have got a farm myself; my Wits Ss got a farm; and I have been on that farm this fall and up N pr ety recently terracing it and looking after it and trying to put and to make it productive. You will not fool those
