As a result of conferences of the last few days, which embrace the Cabinet, members of the Farm Board and the Farm Loan Board, together with presidents Thompson, Taber, and Huff of the farm organizations, I have decided to ask the Governors of the States most acutely affected by the drought to meet with us in Washington next Thursday in order to consider definite plans for organization of relief.

The willingness of our people to accept this added burden in these times in order impregnably to establish the credit of the Federal Government is a great tribute to their wisdom and courage.
They also discussed methods further to coordinate all economic agencies engaged in assistance to business, employment, and agriculture.
I feel very proud of that tribute, and I appreciate very much the attitude of the press about it.
