CONGRESS PLODS ON.
NEUTRALITY PROBLEMS.
ADVOCATE INFLATION.
ARMS EMBARGO REPEAL.
TAX REVISION BEGUN.
SUGGESTS NEW TAXES.
HULL AND WALLACE.
After nearly six month#, the end
of Congress is not in sight. Predic
tions that adjournment will occur
around the middle of July ere overly
optimistic in view of the discussion
that will result in the Senate when
neutrality legislation is undertake#.
If the President agrees to postpone
this controversial issue until next
January, the chances for adjournment
next month sure good.
Meanwhile, a group of eleven sena
tors, advocates of a $2,000,000,000
currency inflation program, intimated
last week that they might take ad
vantage of the legislative situation
to force action on their proposal.
Senators. Themes end McCarran sug
gest that new currency in this sum
be '"ympd, backed in full by gold, one
fourth of which would come from the
"sterilized" gold holdings and three
fourths from the stabilization fund.
They would also arbitrarily increase
the price of dogmatic silver from six
ty-focr cents to $L04 an ounce. If
anything like a filibuster develops,
the proponents might be able to hold
up the monetray bill, giyin^ the
Treasury authority to continue the
operation of the International Stabili
zation Fund on June 30th, prevent the
enactment of measures that axe now
on the "must" list for action before
July 1st.
Just how long the neutrality legis
lation debate will last in the Senate
cannot be predicted, but more the*
twenty senators have signed a decla
ration of principles which oppose the
Administration * suggestions advanc
ed. by Sercetary of State Hulk While
it is generally believed that the Hull
program can secure a majority vote
in the Senate, the prospect of nalimifc.
ed debate W the. oppopRMn raises a
question of endurance if the matter
is pressed now.
The Senate group is determined in
its opposition to repealing the ember
go on arms aad munitions of wax te
natiniw engaged in a conflict. The
President wants the neutrality amende
ment in order to have a free hand in
steering the country's neutral course.
The present embargo law, which, is
generally conceded to be an asset to
the totalitarian powers in the event
of a struggle, is not in accord with
fundamental American policies in re
gard to fhe sale of munitions. Op
ponents of the change, however, in
sist to star it now would be to
sides in the impending conflict
in Europe. . ; t
While the opposition in the Senate
is a minority at this time, the Isola
tionist group believe that moeka of
discussion would work up support in
the couhtey. The PreMdtot and his
?idea believe that public opinion sup
ports the changes proposed aad ap
parently have decided to permit the
debate to go on, confident that, in the
end, public opinion wfll force passage
of the amendment desired.
The tax revision bifl, intended to
move "irritants" in the interest of
business revival, passed the House
with odfer one diam?Hng veto Ar
once, both Itonorrarir and. Republi
can committeemen were united in
pasiae of the measure, predicting that
it weald aid in bringing ehput-econo

The United States, under Secretary
Wallace's pi*", does not attempt to
secure new markets for its surpluses.
Recognizing that these surphisee have
been caused, in part, by the action of
foreign governments in subsidizing
export sabs, the Secretary of Agri
culture would serve notice that this
/vufifry will net be outsold. As we
understand the farm subsidy proposal,
it is only designed to operate to the
extent necessary to preserve for
American fanners their share of the
world market. It is not an effort to
put other nations out of business or
to secure undue advantages. It is a
defensive rather than an offensive
program.

The poultry and. egg industry once
more is expending. J
Production of chickens was increase

In progress this year. Production of
eggs declined slightly in 1988, but the
output during the current year 1939
will probably equal or exceed that of
1987.
On January 1 last there were ajh
proximately 4j8,0p0,000 <^ickens on
farms. On January 1 next there may
be more than 420,000,000.
These and. other changes in thd
-poultry and egg industry are report
ed by S. A. Jones of th* Bureau of
Agricultural Economics "The Agri
cultural Situation." during the past
15 years, the largest number of chick-,
ens on fapns. wsa 476,0OO?0W in. 1928,
and the smallest was 387,000,000 in
1938. ^But as feed was more plenti
ful in 1938 there was an increase of
about 7 percent in the number of
Phk>?? during the year,
i Of the total number of chickens on
January 1 last, about 108,000,000 were
in the West North Central States. It
was in this area that the poultry in
dustry was reduced most during the
recent drought years. B*t as weather
conditions became more favorable and
feed more plentiful, % partial recovery
occurred in 1988. Nevertheless, the
number of chickens in these states on
January 1 last was still about 16 per
cent less than in 1926.
In 1926, the West North Central
States had about 30 percent of all
thickens in the United States. The
proportion on January 1 last was 26
percent. Jones says it is expected
that with more normal feed conditions!
this area will regain a larger share of
its relative position in the poultry
and egg industry. The East North
Central. Stales?next most important
in production?also lost heavily in
number of chickens during the 1980's,
and on January last had 9 percent
fewer chickens than in 1926.
