The Hog Marker Scandal

But one thing is very clear when the gov
eminent makes pledge to support hog prices,
for example, the farmer ought to know who
is sponsbe-whether it is the OPA or the
war food administrator or the director of
economic sterilization or the secretary of
agriculture or who
The hog market scandal is but another
example of the fact that for II years in this
country we have had an unmanagabe surplus
of promises-promises lightly made, sketchily
kept, or openly violated
That is why it is so important to restore
efficiency as well as integrity to our govern
ment, so that its spoken word may be trusted
once again.
To that end my party in its national con-
vention adopted a platform to which / am
pledged The unqualified pledges of that plat
form read, In part, as follows:

ticGt and experienced administration free

Millions Still Unfed Rioh+

We in America have had the American
standard Of living-we have had to consume
more than any other nation, because we pro-
duced more We must have the courage to
push forward as our forefathers pushed beyond
the frontiers of their day.
Despite our war prosperity, millions of
families in America still do not get enough of
the right things to eat. We have still further
to go. We must never 60 back to the scarcity
theories and shrinking economy of the New
Deal years.
We must 60 forward and develop the great
American market for our farm products
through improved diet for the American people.
If we can keep set on this objective, we
shall need, not a reduction but an increase in
food production.
We must not 60 back to those dismal days
in the middle age of the New Deal when two
families out of five in America were living at
the undernourished level of less than $50 a
week.
Let us have an end of generalties about
the abundant life from n government which
for eight years promoted a chattering fear of
production.
For this we need government in Wash
ington whose primary interest is not in fight
ing within itself, not in teaching people to
feed family of five on a relief income of
500 year

Farmer Is Biggest Buyer

It will be a signal to all the world that
free government is strong and able to
strengthen itself in total war. 1t will mean
quicker victory.
And il will mean an administration which
does not fear the peace-one which will bring
our fighting men home promptly when victory
is achieved.
What will peace mean to our farmers?
Will it mean just continued efforts to control
their lives from Washington? Will it mean
the same collapse of prices which occurred
under a Democratic administration after the
last war? Will it mean a return to the sub
standard prices our farmers were still receiv-
ing after eight peace-time years OF the New
Deal in 1910?
1t must not mean these things. We can
and must do better if we are to have free
and progressive America.
Few people seem to realize that the Amer
lean farmer is the largest purchaser OF the
products of our mills and factories. Every
American regardless of his business or en-
ployment, has direct interest in the prosper
ity and stability of agriculture.
Unlike other producers, the farmer deals
with elements wholly beyond his control. he
may plant wisely and well and then the
weather can destroy his crops. He may pro-
duce to the maximum and find that national
surplus has broken his prices TO the point
where he has loss for an entire years work.
We cannot control the weather. But for
the sake of the nation, we can and we must
avoid these extreme price fluctuations.
AS a nation, we are committed to the
proposition that the prices of major farm
products must be supported against the sub
standard levels we saw for so many years
before this war.

Fair Prices for Products

We have learned that depression on the
farm leads inevitably to depression in the ma
ton just as unemployment and misery in the
city lead to misery on the farm. If we are
to have a strong vigorous and happy country,
we must have full employment in the factories
and fair prices on the farms.
Is there any hope of achieving this result
under the New Deal?
Well, the simple answer is that after it
had been in Office nearly eight years in 1910,
the New Deal had still failed TO achieve any
thing like fair prices for farm products. And
one of the main reasons for that was that there
were still 10 million Americans unemployed.
Now, my opponent seeks vote of con-
fdence on that record He asks for IS straight
years in the White House And what does he
offer for the future? Nothing different from
or better than the program which failed 1t

From the very beginning Of the New Deal,

political profit and to gain control over the
operation Of our farms

America Must 60 Forward

Before us lies the immediate practical
prospect and reality Of jobs-the business of
making things and doing thingstreal jobs
for real money, real prices in a real market.
This must be the fundamental which pro-
vides three square meals day for our people,
as well as cars, washing machines, radios,
tractors, nighttime power, running water, edu-
cation and all the undeveloped realities which
lie within our reach.
To these fundamentals productive and
prosperous agriculture is essential to the
future of America
That future we can and will achieve by
the constructive program have outlined since
the beginning of this campaign.
And in doing so, we must again restore
the freedom of the individual farmer from
dictation and control by his own government.
The farmers Of our country have broken new
frontiers in their productive power.
1t is our solemn duty to equal their con-
tribution by going forward with a productive,
growing and secure America

work, and he also paid in taxes for the 13
unnecessary government agents.
That sort of thing would not have hap
pened if local people had anything to say about
il, if state and county, with federal aid were
permitted to share in the job of seeing that
federal programs were adapted to local needs.
This has been so well demonstrated by
the successful work of the land grant colleges
and the extension service, that even the New
Deal should have found II out by now.
Government assistance in farm credit is
also Of the utmost Importance but if the farmer
needs TO borrow some money, he may go to
a National Farm Loan Association, the Pro-
duction Credit Association, the Farm Security
Administration, the Office of the Emergency
Crop and Seed Loan or TO the Regional Agri-
cultural Credit Corporation. If he wants
soal-up loan on his wheat or corn, he has to
go to the AAA in still another Office.

SYRACUSE. y. y, oct. Is l'P)-Follom-
inc is The tert Of Coz. Thomas h. DeueyS
speech todoy:
These war years have produced trying days
on the farms all over our country, Millions
Of sons from our farms are fighting on battle
fronts all over the world.
Fathers mothers, sisters and brothers
have taken over the extra work, without re-
gard TO age or physical handicaps. Shortage
of help and shortage Of equipment have IN
creased the burdens
And to cap il all. have been the -ine8cus--
able attempts at increased RECOMMENDATION by
New Deal theorists in Washington.
As one who has worked with our own
farm leaders day and night to achieve the
success of our farm manpOwer service, our
emergency food commission and the farm
machinery repair program, have come to feel
that of all the heroes of this war, our farmers
have received the least credit for the ire
mendous job they have done.
Now the war is drawing ever closer to its
conclusion. With mighty triumphs in Europe
and the Pacific, our fighting men are bringing
victory nearer every day.
As YOU know, q change of administration
next Jan. 20 will not involve any change in
our military command. But II will bring an
end to the pickering chaos and the confusion in
Washington.
It will bring stronger, more united ma
ton backing up our fighting men without divl-
sion and warning at home.

Farm Prices Will Stand Up

To these pledges we stand committed and,
while this program is comprehensive, we may
be sure that the farmers of our country can be
relied upon to propose sound measures to meet
any new kind of emergency which may arise.
AS the farmers of my own state, here today,
know so well, your next administration may be
counted on to welcome such programs.
Here we have broad, forward-loeking
policy for the specific welfare Of agriculture.
But unless we have a market which can pay a
fair price, the farmer will continue to have an
inadequate income. He must not again find it
necessary to live on his depreciation on the
paint he cannot afford to put on the barn.
The farm and food problems of the United
States are inseparable. Neither will be solved
until all our people are well fed, and our agri-
culture is stabilized on par with industry and
labor.
We can have fully employed agriculture
with fair prices and a real market if we have
three square meals day for all our people,
That can be obtained through fully employed,
expanding industry with real money for real
jobs.
BY heroic efforts and against every OBJ
stacle, our farmers have increased food pro-
duction by one-third. 1t will not be easy to
maintain balance during the changeover from
war to peace. 1t is going to maintain prices
and wages and income without imitation or
shrinkage from the present scale.

Miles Of Red Tape Cited

For example, one Of our most important
needs is 70 preserve, restore and build up our
soil resources. The Soil Conservation Service
has done good Job in some parts Of the coun-

as an excuse for RECOMMENDATION and wasteful
bureaucracy.
Let's be specific. Take, for example, a
