Farm relief study outlined by President Coolidge

Senate progressives remain divided over the McNary-Haugen bill and the equalization fee, with leaders like Borah Norris and Brookhart split on subsidies and funding. An executive committee meeting of major farm groups is planned to decide on action, likely favoring the McNary-Haugen approach.
