that the President approved the
measure on the distinct under
standing" that the parity payments
will not 60 beyond parity. But who
will share the Presidents distinct
understanding? The increase in
parity payments are already the in
evitable consequence of the forces
which were set in motion with the
PRONUNCIATION of q farm program
which measured up to political
rather than sound economic stand
ards. And there is nothing to indi-
cate that the interests that were
unsatisfied with seventy-five per cent

increase which now has been given
them.

said. 1T is a tune with overtones
which whisper: Votes, votes, votes &"
That election is ended, but the
overtones have not yet died away.
