KANSAS CTTT Mo Teb. 14. A 7-
ton for placing africulfurt and tht Bar
krttaf of farm crops the United SUtea
on a business basis through proper sys-
tems was outlined to Kansas farmers'
rrain marketing committee of 100 here
Monday by B. M. Baruch former chair-
man of the war finance corporation.
Declaring that the farmer "has never
received a fair share of what be pro-
duced." Mr. Baruch proposed corpora-
tions for financing the marketing of farm
products as a way out of the situation
brought aboBt by low "prices. "A lot of
rsple say it can t be done." he said "-but
have no job now and I am going to
prove it can be done in working out a
system for the movement of the cotton
crop in South Carolina.
Warehssss Facilities.
"The basis of any improvement in mar-
keting crops is a proper and better un-
derstanding of production." he asserted
in urging the formation of an agency to
provide farmers with the same msrketing
system thst is provided to the buyer.
Outlining his plan for market financing.
Mr. Baruch declared that better elevstor
and warehoue facilities at the point of
origin were the first considerations. Then
the farmer could bring his grain or aher
products to be stored snd properly grad-
ed and receive a warehouse receipt.
The fanner could obtain short time
credits from the marketing corporations
giving his warehouse receipt ss security
Mr. Baruch continued. This would carry
the farmer over after the harvest and
tend to stabilise marketing conditions he
said
Clifford U Torne attorney for the
American Farm Bureau federation and
a member of the committee of 17 which
was appointed in Chicago last summer to
work out a plan for improved marketing
of farm products denounced trading in
wheat futures as conducted at present.
Scares Beard ef Trade.
The Chicago board of trade. Mr.
Thorne dedared. "is operating the largest
gsmbling institution thst has ever been
seen on the face of the earth." Future
trading in grain he said tends to stabil-
ise the markets and does a great public
service but future trading not followed
by actual delivery must ultimately be
stopped .
The speaker presented figures to show
that (11 times as much wheat is sold on
the Chicago exchange as comes to the
market
After hearing Mr. Baruch the commit-
tee went into executive session to listen
to representativea of the National Wheat
Growers' association who were prepared
to present a marketing plan based on
that devised by California fruit grower
for co-operative selling of farm products.

Associated Press Report.
WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. Charges
that the oil companies have deliberately
used the National Association for. the
Protection of American Rights tak Mexico
to further their own interests are con-
tained in circulars received here Sunday
announcing the organisation of a new
society to obtain "redress ot past wrongs
and a restoration of rights in Mexico."
The organisation which has taken the
name "The American Association of Mex-
ico" announces it represents the small
investors as well as the large corpora-
tions adding that although the old or-
ganisation has more thsn 4000 members
of which "certainly 3800 are Americana
of small means" It is so organised "that
these Americans hsve no voice In its
direction."
Circular Signed.
Paul Hudson formerly the publisher
of the Mexican Herald at Mexico City;
TV. F. Buckley formerly an attorney of
Tampico Mexico and the representative
of a group of independent oil operators
and Sidney A. Smith a newspaperman
formerly of Mexico City have signed the
circular as members of the "provisional
executive committee."
The announcement of the new organi-
sation's purpose is supplemented by an
indorsement on eight conditions that they
insist should be complied with by the
Mexican government before it is recog-
nised by the I'nited States.
The conditions sre essentially the same
as those suggested in the report of the
senate subcommittee headed by Senator
Fall republican of New Mexico which
spent several months in 1919-20 investi-
gating conditions in Mexico.
The chief reason assigned for the for-
mation of a new association as stated by
it is "that the National Association for
the Protection . of American Rixhts in
Mexico" is not a national association at
all but an instrument of the oil com-
panies which have financed it and di
rected its policy.
Charges Csatiaaed.
The charges are continued with the
assertion thst efforts have failed to in-
duce the old association to "announce a
policy and to fight for this policy in the
open.
It wss submitted ss further evidence
of the domination of the National asso
ciation by the oil association that the
offices of the former recently had been
moved to those occupied by the ou pro
ducers' organisation.
In announcing the eight conditions
considered requisite to recognition by the
I nited btstes of the Mexican govern
ment the new organization declares:
"In formulating this program we be
lieve that we are giving expression to
the policy that the incoming adminis-
tration will follow."
The conditions are enumerated as fol
lows:
"The return to their owners of all
properties of American citizens confis
cated or administered by the Mexican
government.
An acknowledgement of the dutv of
the Mexican government to reimburse
American citisens for damages suffered
during the series of revolutions begin
ning in 1910 and the appointment of a

their effect the confiscation of prop-
