Despite these optimistic predictions, some of the debenture and stockholders who had not agreed to the proposed re-organization hinted that the main trouble lay not in the agricultural conditions but the management. Through a spokesman they said, "We propose to organize a committee to resist the receivership on the ground that such receivership would represent a retention of control and extension of influence by the same group responsible for this magnificent ruin. . . .
