Matter"
by Lucien Coleman
TELLING THE TRUTH
IN WASHINGTON
Last month the indiscretions of
Budget Director David A.
Stockman gave reporters a field
day, challenged the ingenuity of
White House spokesmen who
make their living explaining "what
he really meant," and loaded the
gpuns of Democratic gadflys on
^Japitol Hill with new ammunition.
The Stockman caper also pro
vided a fascinating study in
Washington ethics, where telling
the truth seems to have gone out of
vogue shortly after George chop
ped down his father's cherry tree.
Stockman, you will remember,
created quite a furor by saying
some unflattering things about the
Reagan economic program to a
^?'eporter who, in November,
published these revelations in the
Atlantic Monthly.
Among other things, Stockman
admitted that:
?the primary objective of the
Reagan tax-cut proposal was to
lower the maximum income-tax
rate for the henefit of the rich.
?the budget-cutting program
was hastily drafted and poorly
t managed, and had ignored "bla
Q ant inefficiency" in the Pentagon,
?the administration's budget
projections were "just a bunch of
numbers written on a piece of
paper."
?the President's "supply side"
economic theory is nothing more
than a new label for the traditional
Republican "trickle-down" policy
of helping the rich get richer in the
hope that the money will eventual
ly filter down to less affluent
'-Elements of society.
Now Stockman is in trouble.
Why? Because he made the
mistake of telling the truth. And
truth-telling is not always a virtue
in Washington.
The talk on Capitol Hill is that
Stockman's credibility has been
damaged; not because he master
minded the economic shenanigans
^ie has now admitted to, but
? ?ecausc he told the truth about
them. So long as he kept his mouth
shut and went along with the policy
of deception, his credibility by
coming clean. Those who always
thought there was some relation
ship between truth and credibility
will find that a bit difficult to
compute.
But everyone is breathing easier
now that Stockman seems to have
recovered from his attack of
^truthfulness. He went into the
Lhal Office for a 45-minute con
versation with the President and
emerged a true believer in the ad
ministration's economic plan
which he had so sharply criticized
days earlier.
His main defense against the
damaging quotations contained in
the article was that he had thought
he had been speaking to the
reporter off-the-record. And this
Ifpoints up one of the cardinal rules
of Washington ethics.

COTTON FORECAST
HIGHER:
Cotton production in North
Carolina is forecast at 90,000 bales
according to the North Carolina
Crop and Livestock Reporting Ser
vice. This is 13% more than
forecast a month earlier and 73%
more than last year's production of
52.000 bales. The average yield per
acre at 540 pounds is a record high
and 159 pounds more than the
average in 1980. Acreage for
harvest at 80,000 acres is 23%
higher than a year ago.
U.S. cotton production is fore
cast at 15.6 million bales, virtually
unchanged from the November 1
forecast, but 40% above the 1980
production. The average yield per
acre is 543 pounds, up 139 pounds
from the national average in 1980.
Acreage harvested at 13.8 million
acres is 4% larger than last year.
WORLD TOBACCO STOCKS:
World tobacco stocks were re
ported to be the lowest in six years
at the beginning of 1981. Stocks
were estimated to be approximately
6 million tons. 400.000 tons less
than the previous year and at their
lowest level since 1975. This down
turn was due mainly to a reduction
in overall world production in 1979
and 1980 and a slight increase in
consumption in 1980. Consump
tion increased more than 1% as
cigarette output rose 1.4%. This is
still somewhat below the growth
rate during the Sixties and early
Seventies which was around 3%
annually.
There had been a substantial
built-up of leaf stocks since 1976
due to the decreased growth rate of
cigarette output. Stocks reached
6.4 million tons by 1979. However,
the following two years brought
weather and disease problems
along with production cutbacks
which substantially reduced leaf
output.
Because of tight supplies,
demand has been strong, especially
for better quality leaf. Leaf prices
were up in Brazil. Malawi.
Zimbabwe, and the U.S. Demand
for flue-cured increased when
China entered the world market to
purchase significant quantities of
leaf to supplement domestic sup
plies. In the near future supplies of
certain leaf types and grades will
remain in short supply as pro
duction lags behind consumption.
