partment OF Agriculture Set-up

Congress.
PRICES AND QUANTITIES
The major part of his atten-
ton has been given 10 the first
part of his program-determin-
ing the quantities needed and
the floor, support prices that
will be guaranteed 10 farmers
next year. The labor, fertilizer
and machinery requirements
have not been neglected, but
have in the main been handled
by deputy administrators in the
VIA.
Acreages 10 be planted in the
various crops next year have in
the main been agreed on. The
last of the teams Of agricultural
experts who went out TO the
states TO collect data on what
could be grown next year, re-
turned TO Washington about the
first of November, and by Nov.
Is the totals should be ready
for presentation 10 congressional
committees. j. B. HutSon, presl-
dent of the Commodity Credit

presentations to Congress IN his
dual role of director Of the Food
Production Administration. IN
order TO give Congress estimates
of what Will be needed by CCC
to establish and maintain the
support prices needed to get the
production.
Judge Jones himself has made
the estimate that his program
would require $500 million for
subsidies in the next l8 months,
on top of the subsidy appropria-
tious already made by Congress
and the money that will be re-
ceiVed from the sale of crops
already purchased and held by
the government The l943 SubSl-
dies are costing some $500 mil

CROSS PURPOSES

VIA itself is being worked on
three ways by Congress. by the
farm organizations and by in
dustrial labor pressure groups
all al somewhat cross purposes
and for different motives.
Sen. Harry +. Byrd has openly
attacked the whole subsidy idea
as bypassing Congress. Sen.
Carl Hatch, apparently bellev-
ing it Will be Impossible to get
approval for further subsidies.
has had a group Of congressman
meet with Judge Jones in an ef-
fort TO find other means of meet
ing the same end, which is 10
keep control over the cost OF
living This ultimate objective is
as much a part Of the Jones
program as are his proposals 10
accomplish it,
The farm organization leaders
keep up their needing Of the
War Food Administration, but
largely on current problems.
They opposed the recent estab-

They are against establishing

particularly opposed 10 any
price rollbacks.
Labor groups, on the other
hand, keep up their pressure
campaign for rollbacks on the

II is against all these con-
