Republicans and Politics

the results of the situation now in the new
demand for a round of wage raises, and in
the strikes and threatened strikes over the
demands that can well throw a monkey
wrench into our economic machinery. If the
wage increases are granted they will be off
set in a short time by a rise in prices, and
the merry-go-round spins faster and faster.
Refusal of the Republican leaders to take
any steps in controlling initiation parallels
the latest COP plan to renew the Hull reci-
procal-trade agreements for a one year
period in the hopes that final action can be
brought before a full-dress Republican adj
ministration in l949.
We all know what this will mean. For
more than go years a COP government has
meant the erection of tariff barriers, the con-
sequent drying up of world trade, followed
by world depressions. In one instance, under
Hoover, the Hawley-Smoot tariff wall laid
the background for World War I when it
brought retaliatory action from most of the
nations of Europe and wrecked the economy
of that continent.
The Hull trade agreements have been in
effect since 1884, a period of Ia years, and
the United States and the world have, to
some extent, forgotten what the conse-
quences of a vicious world tariff fight can
be.
Most nations of the world now are suffer-
ing from the lack of dollar exchange, and
if tariff barriers cut the ground from under
their slowly recovering economies by barring
imports to this nation, we won't be long in
seeing World War III develop.

Some true and portentous words were
spoken by Democratic Senator O'Mahoney of
Wyoming the other day when he castigated
Republican leaders of Congress for their
failure to make any effective move in con-
trolling initiation.
The Republicans are acting on the assump-
ton that lin some vague and unpredictable
way, the economic system will adjust itself
if only the government follows a policy of
keeping hands off, the senator said, and
added that If the in~flationary balloon is al
lowed TO burst, effective action to halt de-
flation will require more stringent govern
ment control over the economy than the pre-
ventative measures"
He pointed out that rising prices will cut
the heart out of the present ai~d-to-Europe
program, just as the post-OPA initiation of
1946-47 cut the buying power of the three
billion dollars lent to Great Britain by near
ly a third, and thereby seriously curtailed
the intended benefits of the loan.
In summing up he said that sudden and
violent break in the initiation bubble will
again cause mass unemployment in the
United States, seriously damage confidence
in free private enterprise in Europe, and
cause rejoicing in the Kremlin.
The truth of these words is elemental,
and the tragedy of the situation is that a
coalition of Democrats have joined with the
Republicans in Congress in blocking any
effective steps in controlling The. economic
situation, thereby pushing the inflationary
spiral ever upward. We are seeing some of

Capital Comment
By CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM NJ. coLMER

But it must be remembered
that the farmers profits while
good were not as great as is
thought in some quarters. The
farmer had to buy the things
that he needed to produce his
crops such as farm machinery,
seed, and labor, not to men,
ton the articles that he did not
produce on his farm which had
also reached a high peak. The
ratio of prices received by
farmers to the prices they pay
for these articles has fallen but
little. Before the war when
agriculture was depressed,
prices received by farmers
were only go to 30 percent of
parity, or flair exchange val
ue", as defined by law. Then
the wal reversed the situation
and for several years farm
prices have been we'll above
parity. Now. however, they
are down to a level of Is per-
cent above it. In other words,
farmers are getting less for
their produce than they were,
but are not receiving the bene-
fit of reductions in what they
have to buy. The result is that
the farm net income is consid-
erably reduced. 1t is estimated
that the farmers net income in
1948 may be $4,000, 100000 less
than it was last year.
Congress is watching this
trend closely since the whole
economy of the country is tied
to the agriculture enterprise,
and since the Congress real

Farm Prospect

There are indications that
farm prices are on the decline.
The farmers of America, like
most other Americans, have re-
ceived high prices for their
labor and their products in the
past several years. But with the
end of the war and the expect
ed tendency of things return
ing to their normal status gen.
orally, the indications are that
the farmers income, at least in
volume, will decrease. A num-
Der of factors enter into this.
The principal factor of course
is that during the var and i'm
mediately following it the law
of supply and demand oper-
ated to the advantage of the
farmer. The scarcity of food
and fiber products of the farm
in this country and abroad of
course resulted from the lack
of production in the European
countries. 1t was necessary
therefore for the United States
to send large quantities of
food to its European allies plus
a large amount of food to feed
our armies and to assist in the
feeding of the armies of our
allies. Countries like France,
England, Greece and even Rus
STA, torn by war, with the e
sultant shortage of manpower,
made ever increasing demands
on the American farmers. Then,
too, initiation which always ex-
lists in varying degrees in all
wars, played its part.
Therefore, 1t was not sur
prising that the prices received
by American farmers in l947
averaged nearly three times
what they were from 1910 to
1914.
The American farmers re-
ceipts from his sales and from
government payments reached
a record high of 0,200, 100000
in 1947. This was over six
times as much as was received
in 1882,

licious lie and in the future

These spreading oaks are half
the enehantment and beauty
of the Gulfcoast region, and an
asset that other coastal regions
lack. Because of the island
girted and protected shoreline
they grow virtually at the wa
ter's edge, while heavy surf and
salt water spray make this inn
possible in unprotected coastal
sections. Instead of destroying
this natural beauty we should
make every effort to preserve
it. The courthouse grounds
will. in all probability, under
go formal landscaping which
will be modern and attractive,
but will not have half the beau-
ty that the oaks, natural to our
section. would have given the
grounds,
We often tend to sacrifice the
natural beauties of our section
for commercialization or prog
ress' and in so doing only sue
ceed in a slow destruction of
what makes our section attrac-
tive to tourists and visitors,
and a good and pleasant place
to live in, earn our livelihood
and raise our children. The
beach section between Biloxi
and Gulfport. and between
Gulfport and Pass Christian is
a case in point. We know tour
lists have to eat, and we know
also that they like to cut up
now and again in night clubs
and luke joints and that these

tering largely to vaeationers.
However, the whole beach Sec
ton in that area is being ruined
as more and more of these es-
adjustments are built between
the highway and the beach
front. blocking out the view of
the sound waters and distant
islands with neon lights and
modern architecture. We hope
that our own beach front will
continue to escape that fate.
