fare trying stubbOrnly to hide from
the farmers the true implications
of these developments. They
stress repeatedly the benefits
which the farmers have derived
from higher prices and ignore
the effects of permanently losing
the markets for a large part of
our farm products.
The ugly truth is that the A.A.
A. policy has not solved the farm
problem. 1t has merely created
new series of problems, some Of
which promise to be disastrous in
their effects upon the American
farmers.
These evil consequences are
still Obscured by the fact that the
combination of crop restrictions,
drought and general world inn
prOvement have increased prices
materially, with the result that
the average farmer sees only that
since the A.A.A. came into eff
feet. he is getting more for his
crops.
The more thoughtful among the
cotton people, however, are alarm
ed at the prospects ahead of them.
They see their foreign markets
permanently lost, with resultant
unhappy consequences through
out the whole South.
It. is not without Significance
that one Of the leading buyers of
investment securities in this cOun-
try has recently been selling the
bonds Of southern railroads, con-
vinced that the losses due to the
cotton policy will impOverish the
whole South for years to come.
For the Republicans the prob
lem of finding a solution is COM
plicated by the difficulty of MAX
ing clear the future dangers of
the A.A.A. to people who are
pleased with its mOmentary bene-
fits. AS already indicated in pre-
viOus articles the farm problem
is one of the knOttiest which the
they will get nowhere by lodging
it. Rather is it their obvious duty
to evolve. during tn coming
months, a constructive farm pro-
gram to take the place of the de-
structive A.A.A.
The main lines of such a pro-
gram should include some sort of
provisions for a form of export
bounty; the gradual removal of
all devices which hold American
prices artitically above world
prices; definite proposals for the
restoration of world trade of all
kinds and for the gradual reduc-
tiOn of tariffs as well as the re-
mOval of all super-tariff barriers
such as quotas, exchange restric-
tions and other devices put into
effect since 1881 for the purpose
Of making nations economically
Self-sufficient.
The alternative = the present
course of the A.A.A.-means that
America must prepare to lose
what is left of its foreign mar
kets and in the process to lower
It's general standards of living.
The entire philosophy of reduced
production is wrong.

reeds is reduced cost of produc-
ion. not reduced volume of pro-
Milford chronicle., 1935-12-13

the first four months of this cal
endar year we imported one hun
dred times more wheat than we
exported, and eleven times more
corn than we exported.
Two questions naturally sug-
gest themselves: a. How did this
happen? and (2) What does this
mean to the American farmer?
This appalling change, making
the worlds greatest food prOduc-
ing nation an importer Of food
stuffs, came about through the
two A.A.A. policies of crop re-
strictiOn and artifically raising
prices. Crop restriction created
an actual shortage of wheat and
corn. The pegging of prices
above the world markets-by the
loan policy in the case Of cotton,
and by the processing tax in the
case Of other cOmmOdities-dis-
cOuraged foreigners from buying
American farm products for the
very simple reason that they
could buy them elsewhere more
cheaply.
1t is Tegrettable that well-mean-
ing and honest men have tried to
make out that the reason for this
decline i'm the purchase of Amer
lean farm goods abroad by for
eigners is because Americas high
tariffs on imports from abroad
make it hard for foreigners to pay
for what they buy from us. 1t is
true, of course, that our high
tariffs tend to reduce, to certain
extent, the volume of foreign
goods which we buy, but the vol
ume of what we sell abroad is
determined largely by the prices
at which we are willing to sell.
So long as these prices are far
above world prices foreigners will
buy elsewhere. Conversely, so
long as our prices are cheaper
than world prices they will buy
from us, regardless of our tariffs.
The effect on the American
farmers is ObviOus-they are los
ing their market to foreign farm
ers.
Brazil and other foreign nations
are selling abroad the cotton
which American farmers are not
producing or which they are Civ
ing to the government as security |
for loans at higher than the world
market price for cotton. Mexican
and Argentinian corn growers
are being paid for the corn which
we import because the A.A.A.s
