Senator Paddock Denies Wardell Claim in Farm Relief Debate
Washington May 17 The agriculture committee chaired by Senator Paddock held a lengthy meeting with National Farmers Alliance members arguing for a bill to issue treasury notes on grain deposits. Mr Wardell of South Dakota claimed western farmers were bankrupt, while Senator Paddock disputed his figures, saying most foreclosures cited by Wardell were on speculative lands. Wardell urged restraint and for South Iran conditions to be considered. Paddock voiced support for relief and anticipated passage if feasible, though Wardell’s views faced opposition.
