All right. Mr.. Wallace comes around

This strikes me as un-American.
say: go chase yourself. I'll raise
as much wheat as I feel like-you
can't dictate to mel"
Il can't. hey?" replies Mr.. Wallace.
"You Just wait-Ill see you later in
Federal court" And Mr.. Wallace
walks down the lane looking the way
a man of natural kindliness looks
when he tries to be dictator and
doesn't really like the role.
Where do I get that about Federal
courts? It's right there in the bill
1t rests on two provisions. The first
says:
1T shall be an unfair agricultural
| practice for any farmer to
market wheat I" in excess Of his
farm marketing quota ."
And for this unfair agricultural
practice" can be hailed into court.
Read the provision, section % (c) Of
the bill
Whenever the Secretary has
reason to believe that any farmer
has engaged in any unfair agricul-
tural practice and so certifies
to the appropriate district attorney
OF the United States, it shall be the
duty OF the district attorney
to institute civil action in the name
of the United States for the recovery
of the penalty payable with respect
to the violation"
Way to Land in Court.
And there is still another way by
which you can find yourself in court,
criminal court. That is section % (e) ::
Farmers engaged in the production
OF wheat shall furnish such
proof Of their acreage, yield, storage
and marketing in the form Of
records. marketing cards. reports 80
or otherwise as may be pre-
scribed by regulations of the Secre-
tary. Any farmer failing to furnish
such proofs shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and, upon conviction
thereof, be subject to a fine of not
more than 500"
That is part of what the wheat
portion of the crop control bill pro-
vides. The provisions about other
crops are similar l think I have
stated it accurately. If I have made
any error 1 hope Mr.. Wallace or his
alert publicity men will correct me.
The country needs to know just what
is in this bill and just what it means.
We want to know now, before the bill

bill says is not enough to understand
! fully what is being attempted. Fol-
this bill is tied up with the soil con-
servation laws and with other laws
But within the part of the present bill
dealing with wheat and corn are some
remarkable provisions.
What A. A. A. is after is control
of farming, Of all farms and all farm
ers. They are after Government con-
troll. the same type of control that
is practiced in Germany, Russia and
Italy. But they know Congress al
this stage won't give them arbitrary
control over the farmer. So they
! have rigged up a device which they
call referendum.
They will conduct a referendum of
farmers who raise wheat. The ques-
ton will be in effect: DO you want
the Government to dictate to each
of you how much wheat you may
raise for sale on your own farm and
penalize you If you raise more?"
