Waahlogtoa, June 12.? Preal i>rt CooUdce Ims determined that If there to e chance for a con structive proposal for farm relief to be adopted at this session of Congreee. he will five It every en couragement and support. The visit of Representatives Hnugen and Dickinson of Iowa and Representative Anthony of Kansas to the office of Secretary Mellon Is the firs* step in a get-to gether program. The meeting arranged through the good of fices Of Representative Mengea or the Pennsylvania delegation. The purpose of It w?b to exchange views on the economic phases ox the various suggestions that have been made for farm relief. Mr. Mellon on his side was an xious to get first bnnd the views of those who are advocating an equalization fee and subsidy pro gram. The Secretary listened carefully to the arguments pre sented and aatd he would study tile problem further and perhaps make some suggestions. ' The President has been exam ining many letters and memor anda on the subject. In tact has been ?lvlng his time In recent weeks mostly to farm relief pro posals He Is definitely con vinced that the proposals <bua far made would not benefit the fawn ?f to the extent that Is claimed. Oder the various pieces of legis lation proponed |ie tee Is that the rplus will p?k? oil Of the hands the farmer whnn the time cornea for the atportla* prlea to be Hied. In other word*, assuming that the entire aurplaa la handled by an eiport corporation. .tM ?ue*" t ion la raised that the Tarmer wll have sold his grains and will not have any further control over the price that will be obtained In the export market. Mr. Mellon's Interest In the farm problem la frota ifce finan cial standpoint. He wlaaes to sat iety himself as 10 the Mlent to which the Government funds Would have to be used ill financ ing export operation?. It can be said authoritative!^ however, that there Is no likelihood that the principles hitherto advocated by the Western Republicans whohave been championing the McNary Hgugen plan w|M be accepted by the admlnlstrstlo?, U ItjOn the other hand, very probahib that analysis of the scheme will be forthcoming from the administra tion very soon U will be recalled that Vice Preelden* Dawee has Men In consultation recently with advocates of farm relief legisla tion and that be ha a declared thai a plan could be developed which would be economically soubd. , tlr. Dawes, who was st the bead ef g big bsuklng Instltutloh be for himself considerable preetlge fore h ecame to Washington, won as an economist In connection Tjlth the lettlement of the Oerman fep a re t ion problem. News of hw leaning toward the plans of the western Republicans has created Mftucb talk in administration circles [where It la feltithat something ^ught to be said as to the merits of the various schemes proposed sad that Secretary Mellon la the man lo any It. because of the rwpn tstlon be has -11* the country at large as a sound sdvtoor on thei ftsoel policies of the Oovernmeht. Whether the efforts to reach n compromise will succeed Is not so important at the moment to the administration as the manifesta* t Ion of n desire to go to the heart of the problem. The admlnlatrn* t Ion up to this time hs? kept ?-i leat but will not heftltate hereafter to assume the offensive. The speech made by Senator Feaa of Ohio has rsther atrengthened the ?lew thet If the admlnlatratlon leaders are not going to permit the 1f4Nary-Haugea plan to psss they should explain their reason and offer a constructive alternative. The creation of a Federal farm board io coordinate the work of cooperative farm legleletlon which la turn shall have the sole respon alllblt y of the handling of the sur plus problem is the line of thought on which the administration Is working.

Whether this moans that Presi dent Coolldge has decided to close the plebiscite chapter but continue efforts at a diplomatic settlement, or whether It meaus a complete withdrawal, is not clear. The press Is publishing general Lasslter's reported refusal- to pro ceed with the plebiscite election, suggesting that Tacna and Arica registrants appeal io the League of Nations. It is expected here that President Coolldge will up hold General Lasslter's action, which is In line with the report of General Pershing that a fair and honest plebiscite la impossible. Unless Chile tardily accepts the proffered good offices of the Unit ed Slatea. a delicate question will arise as to the status of the disput ed territory ? whether it shall re turn to the former conditions.
