United states senator from Kansas.
Special 10 THE DETROIT TINES

WASHINGTON, Sept. n. -
Since September Z. when Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent his message
to Congress and delivered his fire.
side chat to the nation, I have
received hundreds of letters and
kilograms on the subject Of farm
prices and farm income, farm
wages and industrial wages, and
on price and wage controls.
Running through all of these
letters is a firm determination to
do everything possible to win the
war. Running through most OF
them, however, is the question
whether there will be enough man
power left on the farms next year
to produce the foodstuffs required
TO feed our own armed forces, the
forces and people of our Allies
and our own working population.
DUBIOUS OF BALANCE
Also through most Of the farm
letters i am receiving, there runs

here in the name of patriotism and
of winning the war just don't make
sense TO me, and I am saying that
on the floor Of the Senate.
Washington demands that farm
ers increase their production 20 to
40 per cent. Then Washington
drafts away the boys and young
men; encourages those not drafted
to 60 to work at high wages for
short hours in war plants; denies
the farmer needed tires and ma
chinery-and then his government
puts the blame for the imitation
on the farmer and bawls him out
in official messages and on the
radio for being a selfish group"
say that is not fair to the
farmer.
Now I do not claim to know just
what kind of bill Congress is
going to write between now and
October /, to lodge power in the
President to control farm prices
and industrial wages. The Presi-
dent asked only congressional au-
thority to control farm wages,
saying he would take care of
industrial wages himself by exec
utive orders.
SHOULD BE DONE
II is my opinion at this time
that the legislation finally enacted
will authorize and direct the
President to fix a general price
level for both farm products and
wages. That is what should be
done. The details I am unable to
say at this time-there are all
sorts of ideas, of course.
But I will say that the legisla-
ton finally enacted will not call

a distrust of what this administra-
ton will do to keep a balance be-
tween farm prices and industrial
wages, that will enable farmers
TO continue producing needed meat
supplies, and especially needed
milk and other dairy products.
A great many Of those who
write me cannot understand why
the President asks Congress to
e nact legislation fixing farm
prices, but insists on himself TAX
ing care of wages, without Con-
gress having anything to do with
that part of the problem.
Right now I believe the dairy
farmers are facing the toughest
job of any stable group in agri-
culture. Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard tells US that dairy pro-
duction is falling off, in the face
of the fact that the nation needs
more milk and butter and other
dairy products.
