The course Of the disease depends

there are others who disagree.

A MOTHER painful production
"A thorn in the side Of the Ad-
ministration is the organization
Of revoltS against the farm pro-
duction curtailment program.
The situation in the corn belt
has been publicized, but incom.
ing congressional mail indicates
a similar uprising is coming in
the wheat area. A third protest
against the quota penalties also
has been started in tobacco.
The grim inside joke Of it
around the Agriculture Depart
ment Is that the harsh restric.
tons were written into the law
specifically and hence the de-
partment itself can do little to
pacify the rebels, without get
ting amendments through Con.
greSs.
The corn rebellion is regarded
as serious even around Admins
tration farm headquarters here,
where it is privately estimated
about half Of the corn farmers
are outraged (some more, some
less) about their individual al
lotments under the corn pro-
gram.
AAA's answer is that the
farmers do not have to join I'M
less they want to, but this Is not
considered q very good answer
even here, as the penalties for
failing to join were made as
heavy as possible in the new
law.

Big Navy Bill
Vote Today
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

G.N.S0 With voting upon the
81, 156, zoo, 900 naval expansion bill
expected to begin in the Senate
this afternoon, supporters Of the
measure claimed ample votes to
kill a batch Of amendments.
While Administration leaders
drove for final passage Of the
measure late today, Senator Walsh
CD Of Massachusetts, leader of
the bills supporters, said a final
vote may not be reached until to-
morrow.
Since the House already has
passed the bill the next legislative
step will be settling Of differences
between the two branches in con-
ference.
Agreement was reached in prin-
ciple between Senators Walsh and
Vandenberg (R) Of Michigan on
the battleship issue. Represent.
ing opposing forces on the bill,
they decided to restrict the three
proposed battleShipS to IS, 900 tons
each, unless the President finds
another nation has begun building
dreadnaughtS, Of $4,000 tons dis.
placement.
In that event the authorization
for 45,000ton capital ships in the
pending bill would stand and be
invoked to obtain funds from Con
gresS for actual construction OF
these $10O,000,000 super-dread
naughts, which would be the larg
est afloat.

time at their annual conference
with F. D. R.-aS related in this
space last week-are blaming
him for Senator Sherman Min
toms bill to punish those who
knowingly print false state
ments.
The President told the edi-
tors they were publishing false
statements about the New Deal
and that they knew they we're
false. The Minton bill, the edi-
tors point out, attacks just this
problem. The hand Is the hand
of Minton but the voice is Roose-
velt'S, they assert.
It is all very maddening to
the editors. They know they
can beat Minton's bill or any
like it But they say that Roose-
welt is planting in the peoples
minds the idea that the news
papers are all down on him and
can't be trusted to tell the truth
about him-thuS robbing the
papers of their influence.
The Agriculture Department
admits ruefully that there is
some revolt against the compul-
sorry control features Of the new
farm program. The farmers are
getting their allotments and
being told how much they can
plant in order to share in conser-
walton benefits-and the allot-
ments are not as large as they'd
like.
The department says it can't
help that-that the country is
faced again with huge SURPRISES
and that control of acreage is
the only alternative to a wrecked
farm price structure.
The AAA is starting to edu-
cate the farmers all over again
to the menace of SURPRISES.

keynote Of his anti-Roosevelt
third party campaign upon the
opposite idea of expanding pro-
duction, the political difficulties
Of talking for limited produc-
ton were evident to all here.
Referred to Idea
g HoRTLY thereafter, Mr..
~ Roosevelt referred to the
idea very briefly in his anti.
monopoly message without the
enthusiasm Of his earlier spend
lend message. This time he
called it temporary overproduc-
tion," recommended creation Of

statistics on inventories from
trade associations so as to stop

Such a comparatively minor
step may be authorized. No op-
position is likely to arise. But
that is all the theory is likely to
come to. No further step to limit

The answers to the figures
seems to be that business kept
improving just as fast as inven.
tories and that the increases
would not have been considered
"overproduction" had business
maintained the level expected
when the inventories were being
piled UP. They became "over.
production" only after depreS-
sion set in, and apparently were
an effect, not a cause.
The reason business did not
maintain itself was because buy.
ing was curtailed for many rea-
sons, probably including the pSy.
Geological one Of fear. The main
economic reason Is that the pro
ceeds Of production (wages, divi-
dends, purchases Of raw ma
terials) did not go back into
business circulation.
Agreement on this Is fairly
