AGRICULTURAL RELIEF B75 Mr. AswerL. And friendly with the administration, and rather close to the President? I am asking an honest question. Mr. ANDERSON. I can not answer that question. I could not say honestly that I am close to the administration. Mr. AsweLL. You do not know? Mr. AnpeErsoN. No. Mr. AswelL. The reason I asked you is because I wanted to ask you if you had any opinion whether this bill could become a law with the fee in 1t? Mr. ANpErsoN. The President, I have understood, made a state- ment the other day, which was published in the newspapers, in which he said he would veto the bill again with the equalization fee in it. Mr. AsweLL. Then why waste time on the equalization fee? Mr. ANpERsoN. Well, I do net know: I know I am not wasting it. Mr. AsweLL. Why? Mr. AxpersoN. I want to get before this committee two or three things which have not been touched upon, because I am told this committee intends to pass it irrespective of the President’s position and I hope they will not do it. Mr. Jones. Does not that same report carry a statement in connection with it that he would veto a bill that carried a subsidy? Mr. ANpERSON. I do not recall the statement in detail, but I think probably it did, Mr. Jones; I am not certain about that. Mr. Joxes. I think probably it did. Mr. Pur~xerLL. Mr. Anderson, along that line do you not regard this bill as now drawn by a member of this committee as much more nearly conforming to the views and meeting the objections of the President than the other bills? Mr. AnpErsoN. If I had an opportunity I would get to that propo- sition. I have been trying to point out where it did not, and if I have a very few minutes I would get to where I thought it did. Mr. PurxeErLL. Did what? Mr. ANDERSON. Meet the objections of the President. I think it meets them in some respects; ves. : Mr. AswerL. Does 1t meet it in all respects except the equalization ee? Mr. AxpErsoN. I do not think so. Mr. Pur~NeLL. You feel that the President will veto this bill. Are you addressing your remarks to this bill or the one which he vetoed? Mr. ANpErsoN. I make no pretense of knowing what the President will do at all; and I would like that to be distinctly understood. I have had no conference with him, no talk with him. I know nothing about what his attitude on the bill is that every member of this committee does not know, and that has not appeared in the news- papers. The President pointed out in his veto message the impossibility of estimating the amount of the losses, charges, and costs that would result from the operation of this bill, and therefore the liability of the stabilization fund. The determination of the equalization fee, which under the bill must be determined in advance and not after the crop is made, is first a guess as to the acreage which will be put in the crop, a guess as to the yield and the amount of the total crop, a guess as to the average purchase price which that crop will bring or will have to
