Crop Control Pushed
Senators Seek Special Session for Passage to Turn
Loose Loans to Farmers

tutional. That early A. A. A. crop
control was wholly voluntary. The
administration offered the individual
farmer money If he would reduce
the acreage he had been planting In
cotton. The farmer could take the
administrations offer or leave tit
was purely voluntary. Some farmers
took the Government money and re-
duced their acreage Some other
farmers did not-they saw the ad-
ministration's purpose WAS to raise
the price Of cotton and they took 4
chance on planting their usual acreage
and selling 1t at the higher price the
Government would bring about.
Limitation Made Compulsory.
In the net, on the voluntary basis,
not enough farmers reduced their
acreage. So then the limitation had
to be made compulsory. The law
was changed. Under the new system,
in effect about 4 year, the Govern
ment told every farmer just how much
cotton he co,.d raise. Secretary Wal
lace gave each farmer a quota-so
many acres and no more. II the
farmer raised more, he couldn't sell
it-if he tried to sell it he was subject
to criminal penalties; he would be
bit by the legal teeth.
Under that compulsion the admin
istration got the reduction it wanted;
millions OF acres were forbidden to
cotton. But the farmers, not liking
idle acres looked about to see what
else they could raise In place OF cot
ton. A good many chose to raise
potatoes. Thereupon there were too
many potatoes. Now there must be
potato control. So 4 potato control
act was passed in August, 1885. The
potato control law went farther yet
it had a double row Of teeth. Not
only was the farmer to be put in
Jail IL he raised and tried to sell more
potatoes than the quota the admin
istration dictated to him: in addition
the buyer OF bootlegged potatoes was
to be sent to jail too.
Act Was Short Lived.
Unfortunately-or fortunately-the
potato control law did not live long
enough to get into operation on a
crop. 1t was passed In August and
the following January the Supreme
Court declared it and the rest Of
A. A. A. unconstitutional. America
was deprived OF the opportunity OF
seeing what America would do when
the administration tried TO put farm
er in Jail for raising as many potatoes
as he felt like. and when it tried to
put an American citizen in Jail for
buying potatoes from whomever he
chose to buy them from
That is what crop control by the
Government at Washington means
That is what crop control comes TO-
The first form of a crop control bill
may not contain the penal feature
The first form Of A. A. A. did not
contain it, But the penal feature,
the fine and Imprisonment feature, Is
bound to come, as it came in A. A. A.
And crop control means more than
a law containing fine and imprison-
ment. 1t means a Supreme Court
that will uphold such \ law. If Mr.
Roosevelt is to have crop control
law with teeth, he must have a differ
ent Supreme Court, the kind he set
Roosevelt court would hold a penal
crop control law constitutional.

Chrysler Corp and of the United Auto

day to a conference that in three days
has produced no indication of when
the Plymouth plant, which normally
employees 900, will reopen.
Union leaders postponed trip to
Milwaukee to attend their national
convention to take part in new par
ley, although Richard F'rankensteen,
organization director for the u A. w.
charged the corporation was more con-
cerned with building case against
the union than in seeking 10 restore
production in a slack season.
Company spokesmen on their part
said they had twice offered to reopen
the plant. but could obtain from union
conferees no assurance that U. A. w
members would return to work.
Each faction has repeatedly accused
the other of violating an agreement
reached last March. following a strike
which tied up all Chrysler divisions.
Meanwhile, 1000 Plymouth en-
ployes and approximately 10000 men
and women in tributary factories re-
manned idle

These fungi are composed Of two
