The article presents information related to economic and political developments around the U.S. So far as U.S. Congress and the U.S. President are concerned, the question of what legislation shall be passed for the benefit of the farmers at the present session of Congress has become a purely political one. If this were not a year of congressional and senatorial elections, there would be no legislation whatever. But so great is the fear of the farmer vote next fall, and so eager are the Democrats to make capital of the existing situation, that it now looks as if some legislation would be jammed through for the President's signature, or possibly for his veto.
