Farm Bureau Appeal,
For Mass Production
Program After War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 18.-The Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation. one
Of the original sponsors OF the pres
ent AAA crop adjustment program,
called on the Democratic Platform
Committee today for a promise of
postwar farm programs designed to
promote mass production and con-
sumption"
The farm organization said in a
statement that farmers are now in
sistent" on adoption Of Government
policies necessary to maintain the
largest possible production and con-
sumption Of products Of both agri-
culture and other industries"
The federation declared consumer
interests and national safety re-
|quire the carryover of Large surplus
supplies Of basic soil crops" Such
surpluses, 1t said, should be segre-
gated and controlled so as to remove
their otherwise depressing effect
on current price levels
Retention of crop control mecha-
nisms to permit adjustments in
production when surplus supplies
reach maximum limits was advo-
Gated by the organization.
The federation ureged that all
activities of the Government relat-
ing to farm commodities should be
administered by bipartisan board
They now are administered by the
War Food Administration and the
Secretary of Agriculture.
The organization called for the
elimination of Government food
subsidies, declaring them "inde-
fensible."
The committee was told by John
Brandt. president of the National
Milk Producers Federation. that
trade agreement policies of the
present administration are a fan
taStic experiment. that cost Ameri-
can farmers many millions OF
dollars"
Mr. Brandt urged adoption of g
plan for disposal of postwar agricul-
tural surpluses abroad and at home
with costs borne by farmers and no,
by Government. The plan would
however, support prices at so-called
equitable levels.
Like the federation, the dairy
group official declared opposition tc
food subsidies.

1t was possible that Mr.. Farley,

the President on the roll call and
thus register his opposition to a
