Economic Position
OF Farmers Called
Best in Generation

Opponents of subsidies who have
been asking higher prices for farm
products were faced today with
Agriculture Department figures
showing farmers have received
higher prices for their products this
month than for any December since
the last war.
Farmers are ending the year in
the best economic position they
have experienced in a generation. a
report of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics issued yesterday indi-
Gated.
Farm produce prices in middle
cember were 1T per cent of par
ity, "a fairly satisfactory indication
of farmers purchasing power" the
bureau said, as compared with lis
per cent on November IS and ia
per cent in December, 1912 Parity
is based on the l909-1914 period
years when prices paid by farmers
and prices received were considered
most equitable.
Rehected IN the bureaus figures
was the fact that rising farm pro-
duction costs have been matched
by better prices received by farm
ers. Some advocates of higher farm
priceS-aS an alternative to subsi-
dies-have maintained production
costs were outStripping prices paiG
producers.
Meanwhile, Representative Muir
ray, Republican, of Wisconsin has
charged the Government with fail
ure to support egg prices promised
farmers. He said this has thrown
the egg market into chaos and will
result in an acute shortage unless
corrective measures are taken.
Egg producers. he argued, are
getting only two-thirds of parity
for their product as many whole
salers refuse to buy eggs because
of price uncertainties. Price con-
troll regulations require that the
Government support egg prices al
90 per cent of parity.

La Toilette Suggests
Congress as Partner
On Postwar Treaties
BY the Associated Press.

Senator La Toilette, Progressive,
of Wisconsin suggested today that
the administration might avert a
bitter Senate battle over postwar
treaties "by taking Congress into its
confidence"
Applauding the suggestion of
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine that conflicting views on for
eign policy be settled on a basis of
mutual trust" and in an atmos-
phere in which mo ones patriotism
is questioned" Senator La Toilette
told reporters:
"All of us, the so-called national
lists and those we sometimes call
internationalistS, can agree on the
necessity for guaranteeing United
States air transport around the
world, access to Persian petroleum
resources, maritime transportation
and international communication.
The question is the method by
which American postwar rights can
be safeguarded"

foreign policy before the Pearl Har-
Dor attack, Senator La Toilette said:
Every one recognizes that we
must cooperate in the future with
other nations, but 1t must be on
basis under which United States
interests are not subordinated to
those of other countries. Our par
ticipation in the postwar world must
be affirmative, fortnight and self
asserting without being unfair to
any other nation"
Senator Brewster suggested last
week that "a fear of English domi-
nation of diplomacy and commerce"
stimulated the isolationist spirit"
in this country and added that that
fear could be removed by "a greater
emphasis on United States rights"
