BY PETER EDISON

WASHINGTON, - Secretary
of Agriculture Clinton P. Ander-
son has apparently been caught
on the long horns of dilemma
by President Truman's food con-
servation control proposals to
Congress.
The Secretary recently mad a
closed conference in Washington
with some so organization lead
ers, livestock men and the heads
Of dairy, poultry, feed, insect
eide, meat and food processing
industries. This meeting got
practically no publicity, but its
purpose was to work out a pro-
gram for voluntary grain saw
ing.
A Department of Agriculture
prepared handbook, "Grain Con-
servation on Farms, 1947-48, "
was shown to the conference and
given approval. 1t explained that
grain must be saved not only to
help hungry Europe, but also to
stretch U. S. feed supplies.
The manual ther gave explicit
directions on how farmers could
do their share by marketing
hogs at lighter weight, putting
less fat and finish on beef cattle,
providing more roughage and
pasture for dairy cattle. Poultry
men were advised how to save
grain by culling flocks.
Instructions were given on
how to store grain efficiently to
prevent waste and loss from
rats, insect pests, mold and fire.
The claim was made that 245
million bushels of grain could be
saved if farmers would feed ef-
ficiently and cooperate 100 per
cent with the program of volun-
tary conservation.
Twenty thousand copies of this
manual have now been distribu-
ted to every state extension SER
vice director, county agent,
farm paper editor, farm organi-
zation and food industry associ-
alton head.
An executive committee Of
five, headed by H. c. Demme
of the National Poultry Associ-
alton, was named to promote
further spread Of conservation

AnderSOn'S Dilemma

ldeas through advertising and
organization meetings. Servi n e
with him are men from practi-
cally every segment of the food
industry. These people have a
direct interest in seeing volun-
tary measures succeed. They
know that if voluntary conserva-
ton doesn't work, government
controls are likely to be brought
back.
All this happened while
Charles Luckman was still
around as active chairman of
the Presidents Food Conserva-
ton Committee.
But then came the Presidents
message to Congress. calling for
five government controls to
carry out food conservation.
They were: Regulating COM
modify exchange speculation;
encouraging conservation prac-
tees; stimulating advance buy
ing and food production by for
eign countries; restoring ration
in" and price controls; and mar
keting livestock and poultry at
weights representing the most
efficient utilization of grain.
On the first four of these. Sec
retary Anderson has given his
endorsement and his ideas to
Congress. But on the last one,
Anderson has had to tell Senator
Taft's Joint Committee on t e
Economic Report that the De-
partment of Agriculture has
been unable to formulate plan
for effectively carrying it out.
Anderson had to admit to the
Taft Committee that price con-
trolls would be the only means
of making farmers market their
meat animals finished lean and
good, rather than fat and choice
to prime.
As matter of fact, this was
the OPA method of trying to
save grain during the war. Dol
lar-and-cents price ceilings were
set so that it was more profit
able for farmers to market their
livestock at lighter weights than
to stuff more feed into them and
sell them heavy. This OPA
price-fixing for meat animals on
the hoof brought loud protests
from the livestock feeders, but
it saved grain.
Department of Agriculture
economists figure that every
pound added to U. S. livestock
before it is sent to market takes
seven million bushels Of grain.
Any regulation that would bring
livestock to market Is pounds
under normal finished weight
225-instead of 250-pound hogs,
for example-would theoretical
ly save IT'S million bushels Of
grain.
Since Anderson has been un-
able to tell Congress how this
might be done, save by volun-
tary agreements or by price
controls, Senator Taft has indi-
Gated that the whole idea should
be crossed off, as the majority
Of Congress seems opposed to
returning OPA.
For promoting voluntary con-
servation measures along the
lines he had previously been
working, Anderson says from
$4,000 to $1,000, 900 might be-
required, but that a reasonable
job might be done even if no
more money were appropriated.
Congress will like the latter bet
ter.

NOT RELIEF BUT RECOVERY
Because nothing like the
Marshall plan has ever been at
tempted before, even the men
who have worked on it, and GER
tainly the rest of us who must
describe it and explain it, have
great difficulty in understanding
it.
The point of greatest difficulty
is, l think, the difference be-
tween the European recovery
program on the one hand, and

on the other, wartime lend-lease
and postwar relief. They look
alike. The new progra am, like the
previous ones, calls for large ap-
preparations and a heavy draft
upon American resources.
Nevertheless, it is most neces-
sary that we keep in mind the
radical difference between relief
and the recovery program

provided, we shall be consider

need Tor rellef.
A concrete, and perhaps the
most practical way, to bring out
the difference between recovery
and relief, is to show why Con-
gress should not confine it's ap-
preparations of dollars to a pro-
gram of specific exports from
the United States. If this were
relief program, it would be
natural enough to appropriate
only the dollars needed to buy
the exports which can be made
available in the United States.
But since it is a recovery pro-
gram, dollars are needed not
only for that but also to promote
production outside the United
States. For only if and as pro-
duction is increased outside the
United States, can the necessity
for aid from the United States
be diminished.
Therefore, we must not say,
as many do, that while the par
ticipating countries at Paris es-
timated their need for food and
fertilizer at SO billions and that
as we can make available only
SO billions of these commodi-
ties, therefore the appropri-
ations can be cut accordingly.
To reason that way is to forget
that there are other countries
which could produce the food
and fertilizer we are unable to
supply, and that it is most
necessary to induce and to help
them to do so. Dollars will in
duce and will help them to do
so. Those dollars will. to be sure.
eventually be spent in the
United States. But not neces-
sarilv on food, which is in short
supply. The extra dollars may
be spent for many other kinds
of goods of which our supplies
are larger or can readily be ex-
banded. and these goods will
promote the production of the
food which we cannot EXPORT.
The extra dollars we provide
that is to sav the dollars which
we cannot allow other countries
to use here for food and other
scarce goods are nevertheless
essential to the recovery pro
gram. For it is those extra dol
lars which will stimulate oro-
duction elsewhere in countries
where the peasants. let us say.
want to buy not food or coal but
perhaps shirts and shoes. The
extra dollars alone can promote
that multi1atera1 trade witho u t
which a world recovery is i'm
possible.
IT we confine our contribution
to the dollars that can be spent
here for the specific items which
the European countries need, we
shall be condemning them and
ourselves to continuing indefi-
nitelv the present abnormal re-
1ationship. We shall be perpetu-
ating, not ending, the need of
relief. We shall be instituting a
permanent international dole.
All that the European coun-
tries can then get out of us is
what we can afford to export.
They will be denied the very
kind of help which alone can
free them and us from excessive
dependence upon our exports.
For what they must have from
us is not merely our wheat and
coal and fertilizers but also
dollars-which will cause other
countries to produce and to sell
to them wheat and coal and
fertilizers and the like.
There is no danger to oir
