Farm Parity

BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, y. Y. UnIy-rsIt,
The Presidents act in signing

long step toward building up
such an excessive debt burden
that a deliberate depreciation Of

Tests Show Differences

what the mOtorist can do 10
extend tire life" Henry con-
tinued. "was graphically pointed
out In tests recently conducted.
Five drivers wore out their tires
between $500 and 300 miles.
Seven drivers ran out of rubber
between II 900 and 1900 miles.
Another seven went 1000 TO
1900.
Tho winning group Of five
drivers made their tires last
between 2O,7OO and 27.600 miles.
This shows a difference of co.
896 miles between the high and
the low In tire life with the
same tire on the same model car.
Apply this difference to the
$1,000, 900 tires produced in 1899
and you get an idea Of the OPP
pOrtunities for conservation
1.-THE rules are very simple:
Keep the proper amount Of air
In the tires: make sure the
wheels are always In proper
alignment; shift the tires from
time to time TO get an even dis
tributiOn of wear: drive at mod
crate speeds: take curves easily
and on long trips stop from time
to time to let the tires cool

Gift TO Farmers

In tho Presidents own words.
FL reflects the governments
objective for the last eight years.
II reflects the fact that the
farmers did not have and have
not as great share Of the ma
tlonal income as other groups
OF course, this is almost
meaningless. No one on earth
knows what is meant by other
groups. or whether the farm
erS' as individuals do or do not
get as much income as other
individuals. But the point |
would emphasize is that this
farm parity action treats the
national income as II IL grew
on trees. and the farmer as if he
were merely a member OF one
Of several social groups among
whom that income is 10 be
divided equally by the state.
Regardless Of what the indi-
vidual farmer does in the way
Of farming. and without regard
10 the demand for or value of
his product, he is 10 be given his
share" in the national income.
The gift is 10 be made by the
federal government, which has
such giving rs one of its constant
"objectiveS
To show how arbitrary the
whole thing is. the President
says III should be obvious to all
that the government ought not
now 20 change the existing
policy by giving 10 farmers a
total remuneration greater than
parity.

Trucks COMING

Moreover, the corporation con-
tracted TO supply $4,000 Dodge
trucks for the army. These have
rolled off the assembly line for
some time at the rate of 300 a
day, so that this original order
is nearing completion.
Mr.. Keller's philosophy has
been TO exert every effort to fit
the corporations machines and
other equipment to tackle many
of the novel tasks assigned by
the three defense divisions of
the government. thus keeping
10 the lowest feasible minimum
the demands upon the swamped
designers and makers of tools,
machines. etc.
As a minor Sideline. the COM
pany rapidly manufactured TO-
600 fuses. which go on the noses
of airplane bombs. 10000 3-inch
shells. 10000 cartridge cases.
But. despite the fact that the
call for cars and trucks from
dealers and consumers is excel
lent, stockholders are cautioned
against overoptimism.
Warns President Keller:
Diversion Of SO large a part
Of our efforts from civilian pro-
duction Is certain to involve more
or less inconvenience to the
public and to our dealers; higher
prices to the public on our prod
ucts. restricted volume of bust
ness for the dealers, higher
taxes and lower profits for
stockholders"

Much Work Due

This plant alone will give
work to between 1000 to r.
900 men. 1t will produce 28-ton
tanks.
"We recently finished two
pilot jobs I'm our tool rooms, to
prove design, and Gen. Charles
NJ. WessOn, chief of ordnance
of the United States Army. ex-
pressed great appreciation when
the first tank was presented to
him as a gift from Chrysler
dealers"
Chrysler is busily preparing TO
supply 40-mm rapid-fire anti
aircraft cannons, to defend the
country against dive bombers.
Production will 60 forward in
various plants, as we'll as in
two special plants now being
built, to achieve the biggest re-
suits in the least amount of

puts it, the navy tells us that

square feet of floor space has
been leased from the old

M. s. RukeySeT:

T. N. Carver, Harvard econo-
mist, described the wide scatter
ing Of ownership OF shares in
American corporations during
the gay twenties as "the pres
ent economic revolution in the
United States"
In the major depression years.
this broadening of ownership
was reversed. Even the marked
rise in business activity in 1910
did not reawaken mass buying
OF securities, according TO stud
les made by DR.. Daniel Starch
for Forbes magazine.
Current social and economic
trends are creating a new OPP
portunity for widening the circle
of ownership. And delineating
the second phase of Carver's
present economic revolution"
Wage and tax policies and price
ceiling edicts are placing limits
on business profits. and. with
the overall increase in the ma
tionai income that is currently
taking place. farmers and work.
ers seem destined TO increase
their income relatively as we'll

being favorably affected by the

Speed Approved

Next, Mr.. Keller cnthuses
most over the gigantic tank
arsenal which Chrysler built
with such speed for the govern
ment. You will get some idea
of its size from his comment:
This tank plant Is equivalent
to a plant capable of turning out
LOCO automobiles n day.

Sets No Standard

The very idea Of parity" is
a sham. and smells OF trickery.
II is built on class conflict, as il
sets the farmer" against others,
il provides no definite standard,
and will not stay put; for as
non-agricultural prices rise Tor
fail tt calls for proportional
changes in farm prices.
In fact, parity" prices are 10
n large extent not real prices
At all. They arc sums given by
"the government 10 farmers 10
prevent them from selling their
products for what they can get
IN free markets The crops are
held of thp market unsold. with
the aid OF mandatory IS per
cent Of parity loans.
This huge gift 10 The farmers
clearly violates the idea of eeeH-
omy IN non-defenSe spending. II
Is 10 say the-4eastt-7 needless
waste. and should not have been
tolerated al this time when
everybody should be made TO
realize me need OF sacrifice.
As-an- economist. however, I
would stress the fact that this
farm parity" action is a long
step away from an acceptance
Of the rule of economic law and
toward the substitution Of
arbitrary political authority In
stead Of accepting the impartial
appraisal of the market place
concerning the value Of goods.
IL seems 10 commit the nation
