10. Inc Cnree-Qay meeting
opened December IS.
Action was taken in reso-
luton which overrode the ap-
peal that Sen. George d. Aiken
of Vermont, co-author of the
Hope-Aiken flexible farm price act,
had made before the meeting the
night before. Under the bill, the
flexible supports could be lowered
from the present 80 percent to go
percent of parity if SURPRISES grew
too big.
The delegates by their action, call
ing for "1OO% of parity price,"
made it clear that the parity formula
itself should be made over, and that
the new price program should be
backed up by big expansion of
Coop and farm storage for national
security and welfare.
Operations of the grain co-opera-
tive in the spring wheat states for
the past fiscal year have been excel
lent, General Manager NJ. w.
Thatcher told delegates. He re-
ported that the farmers grain mar
keting operations in the big markets
earned them net savings of $3,517,-
043, bringing the co-operative's net.
worth to more than $17,000,00O
The Grain Terminal Association,
Thatcher reported, has added a ter
minal elevator, a 385,000 bushel
house at Sioux City, to it's opera
tions. Present terminal and sub
terminal storage space operated by
the grain cooperative now is more
than 1O,50O,000 bushels. Expan-
sion plans for the future include
doubling the 100000 .bushel capa-
city of the Superior, Wisconsin ele-
vator, erecting q st. Paul river ter
minal to handle barley, and building
a terminal at Grand Forks, North
Dakota, to specialize in durum.
Thatcher, however, said that earn
ings alone do not reflect the i'm
portance of co-operatives to the
farmers living. His views were re-
Elected in the resolution calling for
LOU percent OF parity prices, coupled
with "decent living standards, in
Guiding adequate health protection,
good housing, and reasonable educa-
ton opportunities for farm chill

and the supporters of the MVA
throughout the Missouri basin area

only one outcome-the passage of
the MVA bill at this session.
Wide Base of Support for MVA
There has been some disposition to
sell the chances of passage of this
legislation short on the assumption
that the people of the valley are not
supporting it; that this is the effort
of a small group. | am sure that
the MVA has a wide base of support
in the towns and on the farms of all
nine states in the Missouri valley.
The Regional Committee for an
MVA must mobilize this widespread
support so that it can effectively an

special interests which seek to deny
them their right to a continuing
prosperity.
Assurance of active support for
MVA also came from Senator-elect
Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota who
pointed out that g. For many

to some of our most basic needs in
