Mr. Speaker. the Presidents veto leaves the farmer in the holethe hole of unequal legislative treatment. Industries have their tariff. railroads have their transprtgtion act. banks have their Federal reserve act. labor has its immigration law and the 8hour day law. and those laws work to lift those groups above world conditions. but the farmer. for the most part. is competing with the world and trying to buy from those groups whose prices have artificially been raised by legislation. We have worked hard for four years writing a measure to bring about equality. and we have answered every argument that has been offered by the President in a way so satisfactory that a majority of the Membeis of Congress have been convinced and converted. to approval of the bill. The President offers no constructive recommendation except a loan to the cooperatives and we all know that the cooperatives will be ruined by such a law. if they attempt to use it for the purpose of raising prices. and there is no solution to this problem except to raise the prices of farm products. as other products have been raised.
