The Political Mill
Great Farm States of West Put New Deal on Defensive
in Production Control.

production plus profit price for that
portion Of the annual yield consumed
domestically, and an open price for
that portion Of the annual yield sold
in export, or which may be diverted
to non-fed or non-fabric purposes in
industry, and the establishment Of a
proper agency to handle in the name
Of society the disposition of any sup
plies Of such basic crops as may occur
in excess Of current use and normal
reserve requirements"
Here Is the two-price system put
forward-which is not new but is
couched in slightly different language
from the old McNary-Haugen plan.
Secretary Wallace has retorted that
If there Is to be two-price system
we would rather see the dumping of
farm products at low prices in Amer
lea for the use Of the underprivileged
and the poorer people. This has a
pleasant political sound-since it would
give the poor cheaper foodstuffs in
this country. But 1t would take an
army Of Solomons, and big army, at
that, to write the regulations and put
them into effect for such q plan. No
one would quite know where to draw
the line. and who was to pay the
higher price for food and who the
lower. The idea is as visionary as
some other New Deal proposals.
Wallace Has Defenders.
While the Wallace farm program Is
under attack from many sides, it also
has its strong defenders-and 1t has
the vast arm OF FederM Government
propaganda working full blast for 1t.
Every day advocates Of the plan talk
with the people over the radio, usually
from Washington. The American
Farm Bureau Federation is almost
frantic in its support Of the plan.
Great farm journals Of the country,
like Wallace's Farmer and Iowa
Homestead and the Prairie Farmer,
are completely in accord with the pro-
duction control idea-which they say
Is the farmers own idea.
These protagonists Of production
control declare that 1t Is workable
while cost Of production plan Is not.
They insist, too, that production con-
troll has come to stay. just as farm
loans and farm loan banks and CO.
operative marketing have come to be
recognized as the normal thing. Fiji
teen years from now, one leading jour-
nalist told me, production control will
be strongly intrenched, accepted fact
One OF the suggestions put forward
by the supporters Of the Wallace plan
Is that the American farmers now
resent any attempt to have the farm
problem considered as political prob
lem or issue. 1T is an economic prob
lem" they say. This is very different
from the attitude of the supporters Of
the New Deal program two years ago.
They declared that the farmers would
vote for New Dealers because they be-
lieved in the New Deal plan.
In the meantime. the voters in Iowa,
South Dakota. Minnesota, Michigan,
North Dakota, Wisconsin, Kansas,
Missouri and other agricultural States
are lining up on one side or the other
in this major struggle-and to all
intents and purposes the farm problem
is very much a political issue In this
campaign.
