Agriculture Group Chairman Sees
Farm Prosperity For Ten More Years

Farm prosperity for eight to ten years is pre-
dicted by Chairman Clifford R. Hope, of the House
Agriculture Committee. Mr. Hope thinks that the
increase of population and the fact that people
eating more per capita than before the make
farm prosperity somewhat certain.
Referring to the fact that the nation has BIZ
partisan farm policy and that agricultural assistance
is no longer political ISSUE the Kansas Congressman
says that he knows of responsible leader in either
the Republican the Democratic Party who opposes
the Farm Price Support Program"
The idea that the price support program and 9TH
er policies to aid agriculture represent dole to the
farmers of nation continues to receive some express
sion throughout the nation. Those who jump to such
a conclusion overlook the fact that the protective
tariff gives to industry advantage which cannot
be given to agriculture Consequently farmers buy
what they need from manufacturers whose prices are
protected by tariff walls and then have to sell their
abundant justification for everything that the Gov
eminent has done for agriculture.
While we favor the present farm policy of the
country we not prepared to that should
be continued it, in the of world affairs there
is gradual and effective reduction of tariffs After
ALL the development of freer trade between the peo-
pies of the EARTH with everybody selling in the best
available market and buying where things are cheap
est, will be fair to all and eventually build up the
standard of living everywhere

Optimistic Predictions Of Course
OF Business Made By Federal Agents

Somewhat optimistic predictions to the future
course of business come from the Bureau of Agrl-
cultural Economics and from the Department of Com
Both Government agencies say that business
is moving nicely and asserts that foreign aid and
defense spending will hghleve activity until
the middle of next year.
Undoubtedly the statistics support the conclu-
sons of the forecasters but business in the past has
not always followed statistics and predictions. The
activity of business depends upon tn e buying OF
goods and products and the rate of buying depends
upon the mental state of those with money to spend
While we are disposed to agree with the predic-
tons quoted the fact is that most of the writer's on
economy fail to take into consideration the mental
attitude of the buying public. This is impossible to
gauge, insofar the future is concerned and it is
power which make any prediction foolish.
We have pointed out before that people spend
according to their mental attitude and future expec
tatons. When individuals look ahead and see prob
able income assured, they apt to undertake
mitments and to make purchases. The buying is done
without much regard to cash in hand. The
soning applies to drop in buying. When the look
ahead is not optimistic the Individual, regard--
less of money in hand tends to stop buying.
If some psychological wave goes over the nation,
convincing millions of people that the future is de-
cidedy uncertain, business would drop Immediately.
This is about the greatest danger that exists insofar
the present business level is concerned. Nobody
knows whether the of pessmism will come or
not and hence nobody knows what the future holds
for business.

The end OF the Presidential
campaign brings to a close the
partisan oratory with which A
merican politicians attempt to
win high office.
Without dIsparaging the men
who seek to lead the voters in
their thinking, it is just as well
that the speech-making is over
There will be perhaps, a more
sober appraisal of public issues
and less direct effort to say
things to get votes.
The quadrennial Presidential
election in the United States has
always been a source of wonder
to foreigners. They cannot
understand the tongue flashing
that is diShed out and the eX-
travavant praise and condem-
nation that represents the Amer
lean effort to carry the day"
The election campaign has
been somewhat different in
that Governor Dewey and his
advisers early in the race con-
sidered the election ''in the
bag" and, consequently. the New
York Governor waged rather
conservative campaign,
Not so, however, with Presi-
dent Truman, who began his
campaign behind the eight
ball" The President waged a
vigorous, emotion-raising series
of speeches, quite clearly design
ed to win the votes of racial
and religious groups and to stir
up the emotions of the country.
One of the developments of
the 1948 contest was the steady
decline OF the Wallace threat.

The former Vice-President fail
ed to hold the support of the
labor organizations and his plat
form Of peace with Russia"
failed to carry popular appeal,
largely because of the suspicion
that it played into the hands of
the Communists.
Another unusual feature of the
Presidential race was the can
didacy of Governor j. Strom
Thurmond, of South Carolina,
representing disconted Southern
Democrats opposing the Presi-
dents civil rights program.
Not since the election of 1928
have the Southern States failed
to support the National Demo-
cratic ticket but, this year the
national nominee was sabotaged
by the Solid South. Mr.. Tru-
man and his advisers. in their
quest for the vote for minority
elements in larger cities, went
the limit to 'out-Walace Wal
lace, and as a result lost much
of the Souths support.
The question now arises whe-
Their Wallace or States Rights
groups viii attempt to become
permanent parties and thus
change the familiar two-party
system.
1t appears probable that the
Wallace organization will fade
away, but in its place, there is
likely to arise a strong Labor
Party. Such labor group now
advocated by leaders of the A.
