Schricker Warns State Bureau Meeting.

By WILLIAM CRABB ‘Five thousand Hoosier farmers paid their annual visit to Indianapolis today—a visit as important as a vital meeting of a defense industry’s board of ‘directors. They were kere tor the Farm Bureau’s 23d annual convention which this. year is concerned more with - defense and inflation than with = problems of taxation. Assembled in ‘Tomlinson Hall, hey Schenck, declare: “If industry: were as well prepared for the national emergency as is agriculture, the present distressed industrial conditions would not exist.” ; And they heard Governor Schricker ‘warn:

Despise war as we do, our very. liberty and security is ‘threatened. The farm people of Indiana will do their part.” Mr. Schenck said: “Today we are being faced with]. some. of the greatest challenges in all our history. Again we aré hear-
