POLITICAL CONTROL OF COTTON

Secretary Wallace has long questioned crop
loans He has felt the political pressures which
tend to make them subsidies. And with AAA he
should have learned that restriction of American
production, even with crop which makes up so
large a share of the world supply does American
cotton, is no guarantee of price maintenance.
There is no assurance that, even with new AAA,
cotton prices can be so certainly pegged that cot
ton loans at 10 cents pound would be reasonably
secured. Even the whole power of the cotton bloc
cannot stop the Egyptian feliahin from planting
more cotton or prevent glut of the Manchester
market from running American prices.
As an emergency measure AAA had consider
able economic justification. And Offset to the
tariff, crop control has much appeal to every cit-
zen who wishes to be fair. But two wrongs will
not make right. And as a permanent policy crop
control cannot, even with the fortuious help of
drought, insure good price to the American
grower-short of cutting the cotton crop in two
and putting tariff on imports a.,
Before that is done, or before the nation goes
any further with special session for cotton and
toward politically induced scarcity wouldn't it be
worthwhile to count the cost to the whole country?
Before adding crop-control scarcity to tariffbar
rier scarcity wouldn't it be better to honestly and
courageously tackle the problem from the other
end and make a determined effort to remove in
equality by reducing tarifs?-Christian Science
