AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 191 Mr. Kenoe. But the debenture fee is a long ways off from the American farmer; it is away out at the point of export. It will mean nothing to him. It will drive him into the hands of the middle man and he will get the debenture, because the producer can not go to Europe and buy stuff and bring it back. He will simply be turned over to the tender mercies of organized speculators in deben- tures. Mr. Jones. Not if you distribute the burden and make them all pay the cooperative. This can be issued to the cooperative organi- zation and if necessary can be limited to the cooperative organization. I don’t think you have studied this question as much as you have the one you are presenting. Mr. Kesoe. Of course, you do not want me to take up time arguing all these bills. Mr. Jones. You made the statement, though. I had no idea of bringing it up until you made the statement that there was no other plan that could accomplish this purpose. When you undertake to exclude all other plans, I feel like I must take some issue with you. I would not have done so if you had simply said that you thought this plan would do the work, but when you undertook to say there can not be any other plan that can also do the work, I felt like that was a little broader statement. Mr. Kenok. I did not say there could not be any other plan— I said “in my judgment”. . Mr. CrarkE. Do not discourage ambition that is lurking in every osoin. Mr. Jones. That is not a question of ambition at all. I am perfectly willing for somebody else, and somebody else has introduced measures along the same line and others are considering introducing them. Mr. KesOE. I always liked to see the witness come with a definite idea of his own. Mr. Jones. I do, too. Mr. Kesoe. And that is what I am here with. Mr. Jones. But I did not like the statement nobody else had a real plan to go quite unchallenged. If I understood Mr. Kehoe he said there could not be any other plan. Mr. KeuokE. I said “in my judgment’ there was no other plan. I would not, of course, claim for myself or any other man, infallibility. Mr. Jones. You have made a very intelligent witness. Mr. KEnok. Let me come to the matter of the expense of these operations. Mr. AsweLL. Mr. Kehoe, before you go on that—I am not going to interrupt him but just this time, I think: This bill that we are considering provides specifically and wholly for the handling of the surplus; as I understand you to say, you did not have any surplus in your tobacco. Then, how will it apply to your tobacco? Mr. Kenoke. I said we did not think we had a surplus. Mr. AsweLL. Well, do you now—— Mr. Keno. We had to carry the crop—— Mr. AsweLL. My question is this, specifically—this surplus plan, how would it apply to you? Mr. Kesoe. We were told we bad the surplus, and we were told falsely; and I came here and told you gentlemen of this committee I did not believe it was true. But they made us carry the 1923, the
