I regret deeply that I cannot agree that this provision would bring the results expected.

If the increased price did reflect to the farmer, the plan would stimulate overproduction and thereby increase world supply which would in turn depreciate world prices and consequently decrease the price which the farmer would receive, and thereby defeat the plan.

No individual has the right to determine what law shall be obeyed and what law shall not be enforced.

Altogether, from the above reasons, it is my belief that the theoretical benefits would not be reflected to the American farmer; that it would create profiteering; that it contains elements which would bring American agriculture to disaster.

I regret to see that some of our farm organizations are again divided on measures of relief.

No great step in public action can ever succeed without some compromise of view and some sacrifice of opinion.

I can deplore that divisions in the ranks of the farmers themselves only encourage those who oppose all farm relief, and can at best only bring delay and danger of entire failure.

A definite plan of farm relief was adopted by the Republican Convention at Kansas City.

It was supported by all elements of the party in the campaign, and I think we have a clear mandate from the electorate.

The port limits of Boston, Massachusetts, the headquarters port of Customs Collection District No. 4 (Massachusetts) are hereby extended to include Braintree, Weymouth and Hingham, and the waters adjacent thereto, effective thirty days from the date of this order.

The fact that the manufacture of these poppies gives employment to disabled ex-service men, in the hospitals and elsewhere, adds to the worthiness of the cause.

The annual 'Buddy Poppy' campaign, under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, is a fitting symbol of the sacrifice of those who died in the service of our Country, and should remind us of the obligations and sacrifice demanded of all good citizens in times of peace.

I am glad to give my hearty endorsement to this worthy enterprise.

There are two or three that I don't think we will have settled, but all the major appointments.

Every important scientific achievement is a step forward in the direction of better universal understanding and good will.

I have called this special session of Congress to redeem two pledges given in the last election--farm relief and limited changes in the tariff.

We are trying to hold on to Mr. MacCracken.

Seven years of experience under the tariff bill enacted in 1922 have demonstrated the wisdom of Congress in the enactment of that measure.
