24. THE AGRICULTURAL BLOC 



peals that something be done to establish a 

 proper balance between the agricultural indus- 

 tries and other industries. 



Through 1919 and 1920 Congress was being 

 continuously implored to give special attention 

 to the needs of agriculture with but scant hear- 

 ings being granted. Naturally the proposals 

 were many and varied and lacking in organized 

 direction. This situation continued until the 

 election of 1920 passed, but increased with re- 

 newed vigor following that election, thereby 

 showing that the agitation was not a partisan, 

 political matter, but based upon a real need.
