Observations

political and ecimomic writer in .Amer- 

 ica, shine like a t>rilliant star. 



For says he in the Chicago Xews. "The 

 argument in favor of a national solu- 

 tion of the problem of wheat, cotton, 

 corn and hogs, and cattle, and. it may 

 be, of a few other staples, has nothing 

 to do with one's opinion of the details 

 of the New Deal experiment. That ex- 

 periment may or may not be badly con- 

 ceived. Moreover, the argument in fa- 

 vor of a national solution Jihould not be 

 confused with the argument about XRA, 

 which ■would have carried federal regula- 



■ r ■ 1 H K case foi a national policy in 



* X '''^1"'''* *" 'h^' great agiii ultural 

 st.iples is as clear .'ind unmistak- 

 able as the case foi- a national policy in 

 iispeet to transportation. tarilTs. or the 

 conservation of natural resources. It 

 tests on the pi-ineiple that the nation 

 cannot all'ord to permit the destruction 



of thesupidy of issential f Is and its 



essintial raw materials. That destruc- 

 tion would take place if the nation i)er- 

 niitted its a.i;ricultural pioduceis to lie 

 ruined by impossibly low prices. If such 

 prices continueil for many yetirs we 

 should liiid that instead of agricultural 

 surpluses we had agricultural deficits. 

 We should b" taking the course wliicl; 

 Kngland took to her greiit peril, nearly 

 a century ago. We should ruin tirst our 

 own agriculture and we should then tind 

 ourselves dependent tiiion foreign im- 

 ports of f 1 anil raw materials, and we 



should industrialize the whole country, 

 loiicentrate its population in cities and 

 aggravate to an alarming degree every 

 -ii.ial problem. . . . 



"The A.A.A has been deserilied a- a 

 system )iy which the consumers ■.•\.- 

 taxed in order to pay farmers not to 

 proiiiue. That description is more witty 

 than it is accurate. The real purpose ■. f 

 -A.A.A — a purpose formulated m nonpar- 

 tisan di.scussion for l.") yeai's — is not to 

 stop production but to preserve it atid 

 maintain it. Pi'oduction cannot tiiid wil! 

 not 1)1- maintained l)y farmers who hav ■ 

 been luined and driv. n from their farms, 

 or by grinding poverty have been re- 

 duced to servile peasantry. . . . 



"If the power to close our economy 

 through industrial tariffs, and to make 

 it rigid throu.i;h big business and labor 

 unions exists under the constitution, tin n 

 the power to protect agriculture and give 

 it equal economic status must also e.xist." 



Tlir.s dues .Mr. L'lipmann most ably 

 and clearly present the case farm- 

 ers have been fighting for since the 

 post-war deflation. It is not to the 



credit of the traders an<l processors who 



seek to iindertiiine the orderly method 

 of restoring farm l>uying power and, in 

 fact, industrial prosperity, rei>resented 

 l>y the Crop .Adjustment .Act. For their 

 attacks on the .A.A.A and the processing 

 tax puc them in the position of accept- 

 ing government protection through the 

 taritr and such power to control output 

 and prices as their corporate organiza- 

 tion gives them, but denying the great 

 basic industry of agriculture equal pro- 

 tection. If such selfishness is allowed 

 to prevail there is danger ahead not 

 only for agriculture but for the nation 

 itself and our democratic system of gov- 

 ernment. — E. G. T.
