"It embodies," said Mr. Coolidge. "u forml· dable array of perils for agrirultme which are all the more menacing be· cause of their being ohscured In n maze of ponderously futile bureau cratlc paraphernalia." 'l'he six "major weakrJPsses and perils'" of the bill the President listed as follows : 1. Its attempted price-fixing fallacy. 2. The tux characteristics of the e~uali'l.ation fee. bur<:>aurracl 3.

Its aid to our foreign ugr·icultural competitors. Thef'C features, the President said. "by no means exhaust the Jist of fal· Jaciou~ and Indeed dangerous aspects of the bill, but they afford ample ground for Its emphatic rejection."
