LIBERTY LEAGUE FARM COUNCILS TERMED FAKES Minton Pokes Fun at Group for Attempts to Sway Agrarians. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Time* Huff Wiit*r WASHINGTON, April 16.—Senator Sherman Minton today had charged the Liberty League with attempting to influence the farm vote against the New Deal by the formation of a ‘‘spurious" farm organization, A member of the Black lobby investigating committee, the Indiana Senator in a radio address last night said: "It has been the purpose of the Liberty League to lay down a smoke screen of loose and false charges about the lobby committee in order to prevent the committee from exposing the activities of the league, its satellites and spurious offspring. “The Liberty League has as Its main objective the defeat of the New Deal, because President Roosevelt would not let Shouse, Raskob, tiuPont and the other money bags run the country." Recalls Indianapolis Meeting Senator Minton told of the formation of the Farmers’ Independence Council by Stanley F. Morse, "agricultural engineer for the Liberty League," and of the Indianapolis meeting, where an alliance with the Republican Party was attempted. "In Washington and Chicago, this alleged farmers’ organization used the office force of the Liberty League and sent and received telegrams paid for by the Liberty League,” he said. "The chief contributors to Its coffers were Mr. DuPont and several of his business associates, directors of the Bankers Trust Cos., the National Bank, the Chase National Bank of New York and the Packers Institute of Chicago, all of whom were to the liberty League.” Senator Minton cited the 5500 contribution "from that well-known dirt farmer, George A. Ball, the millionaire manufacturer of Muncie, Ind., and the Republican national committeeman.” Claims Move Concealed "So this Is the spurious offspring of the Liberty League, matured by the Liberty Leage, supported by its supporters, and the only farm organization in the country wrapped in cellophane and using the Liberty League’s money to farm the farmers. “This connection of the Farmers’ Independence Council with the Liberty League and the Republican Party was carefully concealed from the farmers. Os course, we expect the Republican Party and the Liberty League to try and defeat the New Deal. We welcome their opposition. ■ "But if the Liberty League and the farmers of Wall Street, Wilmington, Del., and Chicago are going to run a farm organization and play politics with the Republican Party, they ought to tell the real farmers ihey are doing it.’’
