N Subscription Received Under C Months I Tuesday, April 6. /9.» / i ! Slvisht-Of-lhimi Vlrllioil It would appear that Secretary Ezra T. Benson and his followers have been em ploying sleight-of-hand methods in advanc ing the flexible farm price program. The advocates oi the ilexible plan have been a bit flexible themselves, to tell the truth, maintaining in one section that another sec- ! tion was against the rigid parity plan. They j have traveled ^11 over the country, playing ! one part against another part. There may be some opposition to the 9U j percent plan, but reports from the grass [ roofs in those verv areas'wbere the flexible | advocates claimed a strong following, de- j clare that the farmers not only want 90 j percent but also 100 percent parity. The re ports. supporting rigid parity, come from farmers and business men from all over the country, manv of them having had their resolutions inserted in the Congressional Record. In further answer to Mr. Bonson's I claim to strong support for his flexible pet. a Tnat'a’^JW*1 didate either Democrat or Republican, is doomed if he votes for flexibles. Nearer home we have been told that nine of thirteen states in the southern region are against rigid parity, and we have been told that when just about all the evidence indi cated that all thirteen states in the region were against flexibles Depression Bur mine racy Many volumes have been written about New and Fair Deal Bureaucracy, but the cold facts and figures show that that bu reaucracy wasn't so bad after all A look at the record shows that when si lent government held forth in Washington as many as 154 business firms out of every H1.000 failed annually. When Franklin Roosevelt went to Wash ington he and his bureaucracy dropped the business failures from 154 to 100 the first year. By 1936 the count was down to 46. Of course the war had its effect, and the busi ness failures were limited to 4 in 1945 and 5 in 1946. Let tlte failure figure climb back to 150 or even 100, and many Republicans and a whole lot of Isencrats will call for bureau cracy of the Roosevelt-Truman brand. //f* Colin ll "Fool Way" Congressman Harold II. Velde, a member oi the corrupt McCarthy team, is having a battle lor his political life out in Illinois. It was Velde’s committee that charged pro testant churches with harboring commun ists. Citizens of his district have prepared a pamphlet, entitled, “Religious Leadership •vs. McCarthyism and Veldeism.” The Velde camp says the pamphlet is “unethical,” and that th(> church people have resorted to “foul play”. It would seem that the meaning of “ethical” is about to be thrown into reverse, that McCarthy, Velde and Company think it ethical 'to make unfounded charges, run rough shod over the helpless and promote character assassination.
