IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our husband and
father, Asa B. Friend, who passed
away one year ago, March II, 1889:
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou will no more join our number,
Thou-no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.

in the last two years, has admitted
competitive farm products to the
value Of $537.0o0, 900 a year. That
sum, it is interesting to note, ap-
proximates what the Government
has paid farmers to reduce acreage
and production. Experts estimate
that the IS 900 900 acres Withdrawn
through Government payments from
production correspond closely to the
acreage displaced by competitive
imports. I have always opposed
reciprocal trade treaties, as formu-
lated by the New Deal. When I
spoke against their renewal last
spring in the Senate I charged that
the treaties had failed to "dissipate,
alleviate or liquidate the uneconomic
conditions" affecting agriculture I
hold to that opinion still. More

Of closed trade I gravely fear that
the effects on agriculture may grow

After seven years we need a realis-
tic reappraisal Of the whole problem
and, whichever party assumes the
responsibility next January, we
should demand and have the formu-
lation of a long-range policy look
ing to the restoration of our agri-
cultural empire The farmers do
not wish to rely perpetually on
subsidies which stop short of eco
nomic justice. They wish to re-
enter the economy as independent
producers. They are entitled to the
fulfillment of that wish.
For years I have advocated a
two-price system; a system enabling
us to export without injuring the
domestic prive level. The McNary-
Haugen Act, which looked to that
end, was twice vetoed by q Presi-
dent. Although conditions have al
tered radically since the bill was
last rejected, maintain with un-
diminished faith that some such
formula must still be sought.
Farm recovery may well be part of
a greater whole. The recovery of
our whole economy hinges to some
degree upon removal of such OBJ
stacles to easy commerce as adverse
Government policies, restrictive laws,
burdensome taxation and the un-
certainties arising from pyramid
ing debt. The overall solution may
only await the installation of an
administration which whole-heart-

depth of the depression. Through
out this New Deal cycle we have
been confronted with the related
phenomena of depressed farm prices
and industrial unemployment. With

long felt that these phenomena
could not be separated, that sound
policy would work toward relieving
both of these disorders.
I shall discuss the farm situation
in detail later in the campaign. 1t
is a subject near my heart. For 20
years, I have sought means and
measures to better the lot of the
agrarian producer. For the mo-
ment, let me say that the Republi-
can platform recommends hopeful
and affirmative farm program. 1t
indorses the principle of parity. 1t
advocates-and this is a departure

crops we now import. We stand
pledged to continue soil conserva-

farms by tenants and for research
aimed at developing industrial uses
for products of the soil. We favor
continuing the food stamp program,
which serves the double purpose OF
assisting the needy and helping the
farmer by reducing surplus crops.
The platform offers no magic for
mula. The problem Is far too COM
plex for any all-embracing cure. 1t
does constitute promise that the
Republican party genuinely seeks
solution.
A substantial solution of the farm
problem may be resolved into a
question of markets. Any rational
plan must assign the American mar
ket to the American farmer. Beside
being far and away the greatest
market 1t is the only one we may
hope to control. The farmer Is, at
least, entitled to that and no Treas

for its loss. Yet the New Deal,
which, In seven years, has failed to

constituting the agricultural empire.
piles confusion upon confusion by
following two contradictory policies
at once. With one hand, the New
Deal pays farmers not to SOW and
