RETAIL MERCHANTS TO BE LICENSED

WASHINGTON - A system of federal licensing for upwards of 100000 retail merchants was written into the price control bill by Senate banking sub-com- mittee.
 All merchants would be re- quired to take out federal licens eS to do business, and these lie enses could be revoked by eith- CT state or federal courts in case of vio ation of the proposed price control law. The Senate Commit tee left out of the price-fxing bill all wage controls and ap- proved a provision calling for ad ministration of the law by one ma istead of a board or commis- sion.
 The subcommittee postponed a decision on whether the farm price ceiling should be at par ity level or at 11O percent of parity.

McNutt says he needs "a National

the legislation would presumably pre-

employed in the coal mines and be-
came equally active in furthering the
cause of organized labor, serving for
several years on the executive board
of the State Federation of Labor.
During this time he also served as a
member of the state legislature where
his record of farm and labor votes
was 100 per cent. Later on he was
nominated for congress in the second
district by the Socialist party and re-
ceived more votes in that district

The seed campaign, Carter said, is
O. response to urgent requests from
Soviet authorities for help in rehabili-
tating their agriculture, seriously de-
ranged by German occupation of 140
million acres, constituting nearly 40
per cent of the cultivated area of the
Soviet Union.
More than 100000 residents of
the occupied area, Carter pointed out,
have been moved an average of 1900
miles eastward-as though the popu-
lation of New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and other eastern
states had been moved to the plains
states west of the Mississippi-and
must plant new areas for quick food
crops.

observers Think


chinery shortages ahead, and knows
it is going to be hard to keep farm
production up to his present victory
program.
That's why Jim Patton's proposal
that encouragement be given to the
marginal, family type farm sounds
good to Wickard.
By working harder, adding victory
acres, breeding another SOW, raising
heifer, these marginal farms can in
crease production.
The Farmers Union is strong in the
northwest wheat area, and growing
stronger in the cotton belt.
1t offers Wickard a lever to get
acreage out of wheat and cotton and
into oil crops and dairy and livestock
production.
This latter is war time policy, but
it is also part of Secretary Wickard's
new philosophy of what the national
farm program ought to be.
Wickard thinks farmers should be
helped to produce needed crops, and
not helped to produce SURPRISES the
country doesn't want and the world
can't buy.
Though he has never publicly said
it in so many words, Wickard, though
a commercial farmer himself, thinks
commercial farmers are blocking re-
vision of the farm program.
He is out to split the congressional
farm bloc which hung together in de-
manding no ceilings be put on farm
products under 10 per cent of parity
or higher.
Patton's program fits in with Wick
ards plan to split the farm bloc.
"Move the hogs into the wheat belt,
not the wheat into the hog belt" says
Patton. That sounds good to great
plains wheat growers, not so good to
the corn belt. But it's in line with
Wickard's wishes.
This is one side of the agri-political
picture. There is another side.
1t is no secret in Washington what
Patton calls "the commercial farmer"
has been moving away from the dem
ocratic party Many think he will be
found in republican ranks this fall.
Patton and the Farmers Union have
not, so far, dallied with the republican
party except in terms of certain local
deals. The vote of the Clover two

ton men.
So watch Jim Patton. He's the ris-
ing star in the farm leader galaxy.

recommendations regarding manpow-
er was taken September Is when
President Roosevelt by executive or
der transferred the U. S. employment
service, the national youth admins
tration, apprentice training service,
and g-within-industry service
to the war manpower commission.
A new triple alliance of labor, dirt
farmers and President Roosevelt was
seen by the National Farmers Union
in a statement to the senate and
house banking committees supporting
the administration wage and farm
price bill. The unity of these three
groups on three basic issues before
congress was stressed. The issues,
as stated by the dirt farmers organ
ization, are:
l. Immediate sterilization of farm
prices, wages and salaries, and profits
to business, with parity of sacrifice
placed on every group in the nation.
2. Immediate inclusion in the tax
bill of the Presidents specific re-
quests to congress in his April 81 and
September messages. If the full
7-point program to stop initiation is
not to falter and fail, taxes must be
placed on those able to pay. Sailing
and shifting the burden must stop.
g. Assignment of drastic wartime
powers to the executive branch of the
government so that this nation may
proceed to maximum production in
agriculture as well as other bust
nesses.
The Farmers Union described the
so-called farm lobby's opposition to
parity in these words: 1.-THE hollering
for 100000 more parity is the voice
of the 1917 of farmers operating big
commercial farms who harvest more
than 500 of the total agricultural in
come" The Farmers Union says it
speaks for the lower two-thirds of
farmers to whom the nation must look
for increased production. The top
1919 are already producing at maxi
mum.
