Exploding a 17-hit attack recently

Controlling the Cost of Living

President Roosevelt said he would
announce his new anti-inflation
program in a nationwide address the
evening of Labor Day, and would
send a message to Congress earlier
the same day. He told his press con-
ference that forthcoming steps to
control the cost of living will include
sterilization of farm prices as well
as wages, because neither could be
stabilized without the other. He said
wage sterilization would be flexible
and would not amount to flat freez-
ing of wages and salaries. The
President also said the Government
is considering one meatless day a
week as a. plan to be used largely as
a means of saving oceanic shipping
space for the total wal effort. He
said under the plan American meat
could be shipped to nations in need.
and this would make 30 to 40 Allied
ships available for hauling war ne
cessities to world wide theaters Of
United Nations war activities.

A!dieh Says Farmers
Should Get Parity
Prices or Better
Put Cotton In Loan
Unless Parity
Price Prevails

Ransom Aldrich president of the
Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation,
issued a statement today 2urging
farmers to put their 1912 cotton crop
in the loan unless you get a price of
parity or better" Mr.. Aldrich stated
that 'the orderly marketing cotton by
farmers can be done by putting the
cotton in the loan and selling to CON
sumner only as FAST as there is an
active demand fo- the cotton.
The farm Bureau president pointed
out that in the past many farmers
had been forced, for reason of credit,
to sell their cotton at ginning time,
thus large quantities of cotton was
dumped on the market with resulting
depressed prices. Under the present
program farmers can obtain an 95
per cent parity loan for their cotton,
and will give farmers a better price.
"In a recent address by Senator
John Bankhead of Alabama" con-
tinued Mr.. Aldrich, st was pointed
out that the OPA had fixed the price
of cotton goods at levels which would
permit mills to pay farmers PLAY
cents per pound on the farm for
7-S inch middling cotton. The present
price is much below this level.
IF ceiling prce on cotton goods
are fixed so that the mills can pay
21.5 cents per pound for cotton, then
something should be done to see that
the farmer gets that price. The farm
ers must not expect the government
to do everything. Farmers can do
something themselves by putting
their cotton in the loan and there
after orderly marketing the crop as
there is a demand from the con-
sumers. This will keep prices up
to the point they should be-" con-
Guided Mr.. Aldrich.
