''Very seriOus0


When the Senate of the United
States gave its approval to the
Marshall Plan and the huge ap-
propriatiOns that went with it, lust
before the middle of March, the
reason was that Secretary of State
Marshall, with his usual care and
definite manner had said, in part:
THE situation is very, very seri-
Ous." Secretary Marshall had
voiced that same idea of ERP more
than 8 months ago at Harvard.
The Senate support for ERP was
the result of the persistent efforts
of Marshall and the skillful man
agement of the ERP measure in the
Senate by Arthur H. Vandenberg.

What had become" asked
farmers, "of the Ever-Normal
Granary which was built up
under the Roosevelt-W Wallace admin
istration?" The Commodity Credit
Corporation had facilities capable of
handling 300 million bushels of grain
in 1889, not counting steel bins on
farms, but now the Gees storage
capacity has been cut down to so mil
lion bushels. Without storage space
for their crops, farmers could not
qualify for support loans and were
at the mercy of the grain dealers.

Crops other than grains are also
selling below support levels. Soy
beans are, for example, selling 40 to
As cents below, and edible beans are
so to 55 cents under supports in
many areas.

cording to the NY. Journal of Com
merce of September %, that the
"CCC should have gone to the
special session and obtained funds
for such bins"
HOPE REFUTES OWN STORY
Rep. Hope, who is being touted as
Dewey's secretary of agriculture,
seems to have made an abrupt about
face. Three months ago, at the
time the Wolcott amendment to the
CCC was being acted upon by the
house, Hope himself said:
There are two very serious de-
fects in this bill as it now stands.
One of them is that the bill prohib-
its the corporation from acquiring
or leasing any plant or facility for
warehousing, transporting, pro-
cessing, or handling of agricultur-
al commodities, or from acquiring
or leasing real property or any in
terest therein except the rental of
office space. "-Congressional Rec

operating surplus which aver
aged $4,000 per m n t h" F."
Walter P. Reuther, UAW-CIO
president, and Emil Macy, Sec
retary- treasurer, said. ''This sur
plus, the first enjoyed by the
union over any period of time in
more than two years, is the
result of economies effected in
December by the new executive
board.
On Sound Basis
"These economies have been
made possible without any de-
crease in service to the member
ship because of the sincere CO.
operation of officers and board
and their determina-
ton to put the union on a sound
financial basis.
GAS a result of these savings,
our m er G ency fund, as of
February %, stood at three
quarters of a million dollars and
our total cash liquid assets at a
million and a quarter dollars.
"While our operating surplus
is expected to continue at the
same monthly average, and the
financial situation of the union
has already considerably i'm
the present reserves of
the union are not adequate to
meet serious emergency, should
one arise"
This present assessment is the
only assessment which the board
may levy in 1948. The unions
constitution permits the board
to levy only one assessment of
not more than 81 in any calendar
year. Any further assessment
during 1948 could be levied only
after authorization through a
referendum.
The assessment becomes pay
able April /, 1940.
