leads away from a permanent solution,
and serves only to make political issues
out of fundamental economic problems
that can not be solved by political
action.
In conclusion, II the measure Is en-
acted one would be, led to wonder how
long 1t would be before producers in
other lines would clamor for similar
"equaliZing" subsidies from the public
Golfers. The lobbies of Congress would
be filled with emissaries from every
momentarily distressed industry de-
manding similar relief Of burdensome
surplus at the expense of the Treasury.
Once we plunged into the futile sophiS-
tries OF such a system of wholesale COM
mercial doles for special groups of mid
delemen and distributors at the expense
of farmers and other producers. it is
difficult to see what the end might be.
/ have believed at all times that the
only sound basis for further Federal
Government action in behalf of agri-
culture would be to encourage it's ade-
quate organization to assist in building
up marketing agencies and facilities in
the control of the farmers themselves.

their own management. the marketing
OF their products under such conditions
as will enable them to bring about
greater stability in prices and less waste

alterable economic laws.
Such a program. supported by
strong protective tariff on farm prod
Gets. is the best method of effecting
permanent cure of existing agricul-
turai ills. Such program is in accord
ance with the American tradition and
the American ideal of reliance on and
maintenance Of private initiative and
individual responsibility. and the duty
of the Government is discharged when
