266 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF require, the cooperatives to carry the noncooperatives on their shoulders? Mr. KirLcogre. I think so. Mr. Jones. A bill furnishing a lot of money to cooperatives has the fundamental defect of making the members of the cooperatives bear the burden for both themselves and the noncooperatives? Mr. KiLgorEe. Precisely, from my experience. Mr. Jones. And the advantage of the equalization fee is that it distributes that burden over all of them? Mr. KiLGoRE. Yes, sir. Mr. JonEs. If you can develop any plan other than the equalization fee that would keep from putting a greater burden on the coopera- tives than upon the moncooperatives, that would accomplish the same purpose, would it not? Mr. KiLGORE. Yes, sir. Mr. Jones. Now, does not the debenture plan do that? Mr. KiLcore. I wonder if you will not—— Mr. Jones. You do not have any objection to the debenture plan, do you? Mr. Kircore. I want to be perfectly honest and straight with you, Mr. Jones, in saying that I want to be constructively helpful in the debenture plan. ~ I certainly do not want to be destructive or hurtful. I have given some thought to the debenture plan. I have a folder or a file for the debenture plan.

Let him make his statement. Mr. KiLgore. Let me read you, now, Doctor Aswell [reading]: That the trustees reaffirm their former position in regard to farm surplus con- trol legislation and instruct its legislative committee to consider and weigh additional legislative proposals with full cooperative consideration with our associates and allies and with the view of securing the most effective form of iegislation. Mr. AsweLL. That is not what you read before. Mr. KiLcorE. Indeed, I read that right at the beginning. Mr. JONES. Then, according to that resolution, if you could not get the equalization fee program, you would not object to the deben- tute program, Won you? r. KILGORE. 1t wi i this LGR will accomplish the purpose. Let me make Mr. Jones. All right. Mr. KiLcore. If the debenture plan is a little better than the equalization fee, I would be willing to accept it and I would ask the legislative committee—— it Mr uve If you express your personal opinion, is it better or is
