AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 109 Mr. Kincueroe. Well, you say you have had two meetings this last vear. and you have not got together on the great big problem of farm relief at all. I was wondering how long the American farmer would last while you are whereasing and resolving and trying to get together and come here and compromise on a concrete program to lo help him? Do you have any idea about that? Mr. Taper. I will not take verv long, if you will just pass the ex- port debenture idea. ~ Mr. Kixcurroe. And the American Farm Bureau Federation people say it will not take that long if you will pass the McNary- Haugen bill. too. That is exactly what I am talking about. And then you come down here and because you all differ you say, “ We are zoing to do something on this or nothing "—you have not put it quite so strong this time, but other organizations have. It looks to ne like you ought to get together instead of saving, “ We are going to take this or nothing.” Mr. Taper. You will have to talk to somebody alse about that. I have not said that. I have said the grange is ready to meet any other program in a fair spirit of comproinise. Mr. Kixcueroe. But you do say these organizations have had two meetings this year trying to get together on propositions and you have had the wonderful success of getting together on everything else except farm relief. Mr. Crarxe. Can we not come nearer home than the University of Illinois? I heard myself during the early hearings right here at that end of the table by men representing farm organizations a threat made that he would * nail the political skin of a member of this committee ” if he did not get behind a certain proposition. Mr. Kincueroe. I want to say this, Mr. Taber—I am not asking this is an offensive way—but I think that the people and the country and the farmer at home who is making a living on the farm ought to know that their farm leaders are in Washington and they can not get together; and that they have had two meetings this year and they can not get together on farm relief. I think that the individual farmers of America ought to know that; and that is the reason I am asking this, not in an offensive way. Mr. Taser. Mr. Kincheloe, I do not think that you or the mem- bers of the committee can wash your hands of all responsibility be- cause the leaders of the farm organizations have failed. Mr. KINCHELOE. Answering you as a member of the committee and speaking individually, I am not washing my hands of any responsibility. If you will tell me of any responsibility I have dodged I will be glad to have you do so. Mr. Taper. You are not a dodger, we will all admit that. Mr. KixcueLoe. Not on your life. I am not going to dodge when [ think the farmers’ interests are at stake. Mr. AswerL. Who has tried to dodge responsibility ? Mr. ANpreskN. Mr. Taber started to answer the question and I think he ought to have an opportunity to conclude. The Cuairyax. Would you prefer to answer the question? Mr. KixcarLok. I will permit you to answer that question. Mr. Taper. The voint I want to make is this: I am not here to criticize any other farm organization leader. I am not criticizing the Farm Bureau Federation: I am not criticizing the Farmers’
