FOB A l4EW FARM ACT.
JONES AND WALLACE.
COST# PROGRAM.
? *^5" ???
(Hugo^S. Sims, Washington Corres
pondent.)
In identical letters, sent to Sena
tor E. D. Smith and Rep. Marvin
Jones, heads of the Senate and
House committees on agriculture,
President Rooeevelt recently outlined
the chief points of proposed farm
legislation. He urges a new act to:
(1)?Safeguard farmers' incomes
as well as soil fertility.
(2)?Provide for storage of re
serve food supplies against future
scarcity.
(3)?Control of surpluses, when
necessary, with preservation of for
eign markets.
(4)?Protect farmers and consum
ers against extreme ups and downs
in prices.
(5)?Local administration of de
tails.
(6)?Reinforce any price stabili
zation features by effective provis
ion against unmanageable surpluses.
(7)?Continue present conserva
tion program.
(8)?Provide additional funds that
may be necessary beyond present
planned expenditures.
The communication definitely
ended speculation as to where the
President stands in regards to farm
legislation, placed him definitely be
hind Secretary Wallace's "ever-nor
mal" granary plan and delivered a
smashing blow to farm and business
interests opposed to crop control and
in favor of a domestic allotments
subsidy without any limit upon pro
duction. Mr. Roosevelt declared . . .
"We must never again invite the col
lapse of farm prices, the stop-page
of farm buying and the demoraliza
tion of business that followed the
Federal Farm Board's attempt to
maintain farm prices without con
trol of farm surpluses."
From Chairman Jones comes the
prediction that the House will pass a
crop-control bill within two weeks of
convening but admitted that it might
not get through the Senate so easily.
Chairman Smith, of the Senate Com
mittee, seems to be keeping quiet as
to his ideas, which, in the past, have
not coincided with those of the ad
ministration. Mr. Jones and Secre
tary Wallace 3eems to be making
progress in composing their past dif
ferences and his committee met last
week to draft a bill. Farm organiza
tions, farmers and officials of the
Department of Agriculture have been
invited to make suggestions.
J
Estimates of the cost of the new
legislation vary but it is generally 1
conceded that the amount will be
more than:the $440,000,000 being ex- :
pended this year on the soil conser
vation plan of control. The increase
may exceed $200,000,000. Besides
there are the loans on cotton, expect
ed to require more than $100,000,000
and loans on corn, certain to cost
more!- Plainly the money must be 1
secured through new levies unless the
budget is to be unbalanced and this
is not td be countenanced by the
President who has given plain notice
of his views.
Administration tactics, it is be
lieved, will permit Congressmen to 1
raise the funds but Secretary Wal- 1
lace offers suggestions that involve 1
processing taxes on some commod- 1
ities, with farmers and consumers
sharing the costs. This may mean 1
partial use of the processing tax and '
partial application of general funds, 1
but whatever it means, new taxes :
are to be levied to equalize the new j
amount expended over the budget
estimates. *
. I
While the present conservation 1
program tenda toward reduced pro- 1
duction of some crops the ever nor- j
mal granary involves rigid control
if surpluses appear. Whether this 5
will be secured through "government J
bait" to secure voluntary coopera
tion, former consent to a compulsory 1
control or a "little of both" remains !
to be seen. '
Incidentally, farmers who dislike 1
the coontrol idea might consider the
present cotton loans and those on 1
corn, as VelL In both instances gov
ernment funds are used to lend pro- 1
ducers more than the market price 1
of their product, with the producer
guaranteed*, against loss if the price ?
drops. Under the Farm Board ex- (
periments, which brought about a 1
loss to the treasury of more than j
$300,000,000, produucts were brought
outright sad held. The only differ
ence, in essence, in the new aid thru ?'
ioans is that the government de- 1
TYi^nW* control production so that it '1
can protect itself against losses by
resricting the next crop. Without ?
such a control device no government
could hope to give substatial assis
tance to farmers through loans on, <
or purchases of farm commodities, i

Looking at Washington
(Continued from Page One)
the illusion of being the moon to the
New Deal sun.
?
There are some Republicans who
i believe that the best interests of the
party would be served by identical
statements from London and Hoover,
to the effect that they will not seek
the nomination in 1940 and that their
only interest is to defeat the New
! Deal policies of President Roosevelt.
By thus removing themselves they
would make the way clear for other
men and probably assist the mid
term convention, which the national
committee meets next month, to
frame a declaration of policy. Cer
tainly, so long as both try to assert
leadership the party is not apt to
make any great advances.
Meanwhile, Chairman John D.
Hamilton is having relatively little to
say, except to lambast the adminis
tration from time to tim<? and confer
with party leaders. He favors the
mid-term conference but it has not
developed much power among some
of the strong men in the small group
of Republican Congressmen. Senator
Borah says it does not reach beyond
the "leaders and a few distinguished
persons," and that the convention
would have no authority to speak for
the voters and that "one thing" the
Republican leaders need is- to "get
in closer contact with the voters."
On the other hand, Senator Edge of
New Jersey, would have pre-conven
tion "include outstanding opponents
of the New Deal who may not have
been heretofore identified with the
Republican party." 1
Considerable interest is manifest in
the gyrations of the stock market
Where sweeping gains and losses are
reported from day to day, with the
downward trend gradually pulling
issues to lows for the past two years.
Insiders put the blame on various
factors including high margin re
quirements, stringent regulations of
the Sttitfties Exchange Commission
and inability of company offi
ciahMa Support its stock in the mar
ket. (Jther experts find difficult dif
ferent causes and the more candid
admit that they know little or noth
ing about the subject. Anyway, the
market is attracting attention that
may be reflected in Congress when
it meets.
The eighteen largest independent
and emergency agencies of the gov
ernment through their respective
heads, will hereafter take their trou
bles to James Roosevelt, eldest son
of the President, who has been of
ficially named coordinator. The pur
pose of the order is to give access
to the Chief Executive through one
,wigrw>ri to take up" problems. Con
fatiiiiriu will be voluntary although
it is plain that Mr. Roosevelt sets a
high opinion upon the ability and
high opinion of his son who has won
high praise fronr Washington news
paper men for his handling of the
duties of press officers.. In his con
ferences he will deal with men like
Marriner S? Eccles, Frank R. McNin
ch, Harry L. Hopkins, Jesse H. Jones,
Joseph P. Kenney and others who
have top-noch rating for their accom
plishments in various fields.
President Roosevelt seldom loses
an opportunity to state the hope of
this country that peace be brought to
the nations of the world. Condemna-^
tion of the "lawlessness and strife"
existing in accompanied by reassur
ance that the United States is firm
for peace. He has reterated the
statment that the American Delega
tion to the conference at Brussels
has not commitments except to ex
amine, the situation in the Far East
and study "a peaceable means" of
ending the conflict Just how this pol
icy of peace is to be effective in the
