But what happens? Why, we
just are not interested. If there's
plenty-why get excited?
It's much more important, and
more fun, too, it seems, to spend
money for things that are scarce.
hard to get, or just pure luxuries.
WANT SCARCE ITEMS
The government doesn't have to
ask people to buy liquor, o. dia-
mond rings, or fur coats. They'll
stand in line for those things.
Since that is true. and since
the government is bound to re-
member the way, before ration
ing, people rushed out to buy and
hoard everything rumored soon to
be scarce-it looks as though gov
erlment officials would have
known better than to say Buy
there's plenty if they really
wanted the people to buy.
That isn't wartime philosophy
of the American people. We've
been fed too long on you'd bet
ter buy this while you can get it,
because there is going to be a
shortage" to pay attention to any
other appeal.

MILFORD FIREMEN'S CARNI-

Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1944-09-08

THE FARM PLANK adopted by
the Republican Convention on June
II has been hailed as the best yet"
by national farm leaders. who play
ed a part in helping the Resolutions
Committee draft the Republican
Platform for 1914. Leaders of all
national farm organizations were
consulted before the farm plank
was written.
Beginning with a salute to Am
erican farmers, their wives and
families for their magnificent job
of wartime production and their
contribution to the war effort, the
Republican farm plank points out
that farmers have played a prime
part in making victory possible.

This has been accomplished, thu
: Republicans say, in spite Of Il
bungled and inexcusable machin
cry program and confused, unre
liable. impractical price and pro-
duction administration" a conclu.
sion with which most farmers will
agree readily.
The Republicans take an unequi-
vocal stand against the scarcity
program" followed so long under
Henry A. Wallace and his success
sors in the New Deal Department
of Agriculture.
Abundant production is the best
security against imitation" the Re-
publican farm plank asserts. Gov
ernmental policies in war and in
peace must be practical and eff
cient with freedom from regimen
tation by an impractical Washing
ton bureaucracy in order to assure
independence of operation and
bountiful production, fair and
equitable market prices for farm
products, and a sound program for
conservation and use of our soil
and natural resources"
To show the farmer what prac-
teal thinking has been done by
Republicans to carry out such a
program, the farm plank made ten
specific proposals, all of which are
worth reading and re-reading.
1. A Department of Agriculture |
under practical and experienced ad-
ministration free from regimenta-
ton and confusing government
manipulation and control of farm
programs.
20. An American market price
to the American farmer and the
protection of such price by means
of support prices. commodity loans
or a combination thereof, together
with such other economic means as
will assure an income to agricul-
ture that is fair and equitable in
comparison with labor. business
and industry. We oppose subsidies
as a substitute for fair markets.
"3 Disposition of surplus war
commodities in an orderly manner
without destroying markets or con-
tinued production and without ben
eft to speculative profiteers.
a. The control and disposition
of future SURPRISES by means of (a)
new uses developed through con-
slant research; (b) vigorous devel-
opment of foreign markets; (c) eff
fcient domestic distribution to
meet all domestic requirements,
and (d) arrangements which will
enable farmers to make necessary
adjustments in production of any
given basic crop only If domestic
surpluses should become abnormal
and exceed manageable proper
tiOns.
IS. Intensified research to dis
cover new crops, and new and pro-
fitable uses for existing crops.
&c. Support of the principle of
bona fide farmer-owned and farm
cooperatives.
-. Consolidation of all govern
ment farm credit under a non-par-
tisan board.
IS. To make life more attrac-
i've on the family-type farm |
through development of rural q
'oads. sound extension of rural {
service to the farm. y
md elimination of basic evils of 7
tenancy wherever they exist. n
80. Serious study of and search a
or sound program OF crop insur- y
ince with emphasis upon establish
ng a self-supporting program. =
40. A comprehensive program e
If soil. forest. water and wild-life L
and development. and
sound irrigation projects. admins
