Senator Bricker, Republican
vice presidential candidate in
1914, said the Republican Party
might have to discard its name,
in forming such a coalition with
Southern Democrats. He proposed
permanent coalition of the
forces which in Congress have
halted some of President Tru-
mans most important legislative
proposals leading to the so-called
welfare state.
The all-important question, ac-
cording to Senator Bricker, is:
Are we going to spend ourselves
into a different form of govern
ment? We did not have a clear
cut test of this either in the last
national election or in the one
before it,"

Thief Is Trapped

ident's civil rights program.
II am not afraid Of the admin
istration's proposals to improve
conditions for the people," he
said. Senator Bricker is farther
to the right than almost any
Senator. I know there are some
Southern Senators who go along
with his position on some domes-
tic issues. But I believe that most
of the Senators from the South
would 60 most of the way with
the administration on domestic
issues, feeling that they are in
line with Democratic doctrine,

Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat,
of Wyoming was quick to give the
Truman Democrat attitude. He
said:
II am not at all surprised that
Senator Bricker should have made
this proposal for new party
alignment. In fact, 1t is only nat
ural. The Republican Party is
dying. There are a lot of people
in the North and the South who
call themselves Democrats or Re-
publicans who feel alike about a
lot Of things. But they are out of
tune with the times-like Former
Secretary of State James F. Byrnes
of South Carolina. They are
thinking Of things which have
passed by and not Of the things
we have to meet today.
If q new party is formed. as
Senator Bricker outlines it, it
would not be effective. in my opin-
ion, except to show how small

By Gould Lincoln

The proposal of Senator Bricker,
Republican Of Ohio, that a new
coalition party. composed Of old
Tine Republicans and conservative
Democrats. be formed to combat
the Truman Fair Dealers brought
Immediate brickbats and bouquets
from politicians in Washington.
Some Republicans said such a
realignment would be advisable
but not practicable because Of
cbmplex election laws in the
states and that it would take a
long time to work out. Others in
sisted that Senator Bricker's pro-
ppsal was virtually throwing in
the sponge for the Republican
Party: and unfortunate proposal
id view of the fact the party is
in the midst of an effort to elect
itS candidates to Congress next
Nbvember-among them Senator
Taft, Senator Bricker's colleague.
Zone prominent Republican
Hbuse member expressed the
opinion that working coalition in
Congress between the Republican
and conservative Democrats-and
also in elections-would be more
psactical.
Truman Democrats for their
rsrt, hailed the Bricker proposal
al an indication that the Repub-
lication Party was down and out.
One Southern Democrat, Senator
Ling of Louisiana, gave the pro-
pAsal a cold shoulder.
Senator Flanders. Republican.
Of Vermont. supported the idea
OF political realignment in this
country, but he was opposed to a
Coalition just along the conserva-
tive lines suggested by Senator
Bricker. He said:
s'I think a coalition, under a
new party name. may be neces-
sary. do not think that a coa-
lition Of Northern and Southern
conservatives is happy way to
phrase such a proposal, however.
There should be some other way
of distinguishing between two
major parties. We should be able
to offer the people rational
program instead of Offering, as
the Truman Democrats do. prom
ises of everything. for which the
voters must pay.
THE difficulty is that such a
program may not be politically
attractive as those enormous
promises made by the Truman
Democrats. which feel the people
into supporting them.
Would Welcome Coalition.
II would welcome coalition
between men and women Of really
liberal points of view. I do not
mind changing the name of the
Republican Party to accomplish
such a coalition. But wouldn't
do it just for the sake of chang
ing the party name. And would
want to be sure that such coali-
ton was not just conservative
Just to be conservative has no
appeal" -.
Another Republican Senator -
from the Midwest - who did not
care to be quoted by name, said:
such a coalition seems almost
necessary if the country is to be
saved from state socialism. to-
ward which the Truman Demo-
Gratis are fast driving. Further.
1t would be an excellent idea to
get the two major parties re-
aligned. There is no sense hav-

Assoied and Supported Here

Party, men like Senator Taylor
OF Idaho and Senator Byrd in the
Democratic Party. Tobey belongs
to the liberal group and Taft to
the conservative, in the COP
while Taylor is a left-winger and
Byrd a conservative, in the DEM
ocratic Party.
1.-THE question Of mechanism to
effect such a coalition as pro-
posed by Bricker might be serious
because Of the State laws on the
registration and formation of po-
litical parties.
1.-THE coalition between the Re-
publicans and Conservative Demo-
Gratis has been working well up to
now in the 81st Congress and
hating much of the Truman pro-
gram leading to state socialism.
However. Mr.. Truman is smart.
He makes his demands Of Con-
gress - containing all kinds OF
promises and gifts to many groups
of people. Congress won't give
him what he demands. Then he
can go to the voters and ask all
these groups to support him. It's
getting to be like the days Of free
grain and free circuses in Rome.
Perhaps the course of a republic
has almost been run in the United
States and we are now going to
move on to something else. Ger
tainly, it seems likely that will be
our course, unless a check can be
put to the Truman welfare state
program"
Long Opposes Proposal.

agement to the Bricker proposal.
He pointed out that he himself

the Truman administration on

light, late-season storing demand
probably will be greater than usual,
but total accumulations during the
season probably will be small. If so,
light storage stocks will partly off
set the large fresh egg output ex-
pected next fall from increased pull
let flocks. The egg-feed ratio prob
ably will continue quite favorable.
POTATO prices probably will be
fairly steady during the rest of the
old-crop season, due to continued
large government purchases, which
are siphoning off the surplus. The
new-crop movement is increasing,
however, and will take care of most
of the demand in another 80 days.
Prices for most of the new-crop
offerings in the near future may
hold above the support level for the
ley crop, which is substantially
lower than support for the 1948
crop.
BEAN prices probably will be
steady to slightly higher in late
spring. Nearly 100000 bags from
the 1948 crop were placed under
loans or purchase agreements, so
that the "free" supply is light. While
consumer demand slackens with
warm weather, and foreign buying
is narrow, offerings are likely to be
small unless prices rise high enough
to stimulate sales of some of the
purchase contract or loan holdings.

Markets at a Glance

Demand-Some weakness in consumer, ex-
port and storage demand is probable during
late spring.
~Cattle-Supply of longfed cattle probably
will be heavy in next month or six weeks.
Hogs-Heavy early movement of fall pigs
is causing price decline
Lambs-Irregular downward trend is prob
able in late spring and summer.
Wool-Slow buying by mills reflects small
orders for wool goods at current prices.
wheat-Early selling, especially if loan
value or better can be obtained, appears adj
visable.
FIaxseed-Support price for 1919 crop will
be SO. go per bushel, Minneapolis basis.
S-eeds-Producer sales of leading forage
seeds are expected to be 2 percent under last
year, 9 percent below average.
Feeds-Increased demand for formula feeds
has strengthened byproduct feed markets.
ay-Turnin livestock to grass and early
alfalfa harvest will weaken prices.
Dairy Enthusiastically for butterfat, fur
ther decline for fluid milk prices appear prob
able.
Eggs-Light storing improves fall market
prospects.
PouItry-Heavy chick placements indicate
continued large supply of commercial broilers
and fryers.
Potatoes-Steady to firm finish for old crop
prices is probable.

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

The government support level for
April-September will average about
$16.75 per 100 pounds, Chicago basis.
1t will be $16.25 from May Is to
June IL, then rise to $3.50 from
August % to September "a.
LAMB prices are likely to decline
in the next 80 days and to follow
an irregularly downward course
during the summer. Fed lambs are
running out, and offerings of early
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-15

WHEAT prices are likely to be
steady to weak during the rest of
the old-crop season, unless new-crop
prospects deteriorate. Early selling
of Stree" stocks, as well as holdings
for which better than loan or pur-
chase contract prices can be OBJ
tanned, seems advisable.
The governments export purchase
program appears to be about COM
pleted, with loan stocks likely to be
used for most of the May and June
shipments. Substantial redemption
of loan and purchase contract stocks
in the past month probably has elm
mated any chance of extreme tight
ness in cash markets because of
large impoundings.
The new winter wheat crop is
progressing toward a near-record
outturn, although prospects could
change for the worse. The European
crop prospect is less favorable than
last year, but carryover will be
larger, so that the need for exports
from the United States may be 20
to 25 percent less than in the cur
rent season.
FLAXSEED prices for the 1949
crop will be supported at $500 per
bushel for U. S. No. l, Minneapolis
basis, compared with Sc in the past
season. Prices are likely to drop
toward the new support level after
April 80, when government pur-
chases of the 1913 crop will end.
SEED sales of alfalfa, red clover,
alsike, sweet clover, timothy and
lespedeza seeds by producers from
1913 crops are expected to be about
298, 200, 900 pounds this season, a
decrease of 2 percent from the pre-
vious year and 9 percent less than
the 1943-46 average. Recent prices
have been uneven, with decreases
for red, alsike and 1adino clover,
lespedeza and timothy, and increases
for alfalfa and several grass seeds
DAIRY PRODUCT prices proba-
bly, will be unevenly steady to
slightly lower during the next two
months. Production will increase
gradually, but butter prices are al
ready down to the support level
Government purchases of nonfat dry
milk and export purchases of cheese
and evaporated milk will help t,
support prices for manufacturing
milk.
EGG prices probably will fluctu
ate narrowly in the near future
with some tendency for prices G
fine eggs to improve when he
weather starts. Production probabl
will begin to decline by early Ma.
With stocks in storage exceptional
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-15

springers will be lighter than usual
because of the greatly reduced crop.
But total arrivals will be larger
than the extremely small recent
supply, which was one-fourth to
one-third less than the January
February rate. Lower prices will be
necessary to attract consumers. Pelt
values also may be weakened by
slow demand for wool. Close selling
of mutton sheep as well as lambs in
the next 80 days appears advisable.
WOOL prices probably will be
steady to slightly lower in the next
month or two. New clip offerings
will increase. Mill demand has been
slow, except for a little buying pre-
sumably for military orders. 1t prob
ably will remain so unless cloth
buying improves-which may not
occur until cloth prices have been
lowered moderately.
Foreign markets are fairly steady
at levels slightly below their winter
peaks. Prices for domestic spot woods
have remained rather steady for sew
eral months, but prices for raw
wool and wool tops for future de-
livery have declined sharply. This
has made some cheaper woods avail
able to mills. Early selling appears
advisable whenever support prices
or better can be obtained.

to moderately lower in the next few
months, if normal growing weather
prevails. Total demand is likely to
weaken slightly, and coming sup
plies of new crops will cast shadows
over the markets.
Consumer buying power probably
will weaken during late spring, al
though seasonal influences brought
about a small increase in employ
ment in March. Total n~onagricul-
tural income is likely to decrease
slightly. Larger consumer debt and
greater availability of other goods
will hold consumer expenditures for
food below last years level.
With foreign production
ing, a gradual decline in export de-
mand for farm products is expected.
Since many people now believe that
prices are in a deflationary trend
likely to last a year or more, specu-
lative or storage demand for farm
products is likely to be weak.
The index of prices received by
farmers recovered about l percent
in March, 1949, to 261 percent of
the August 1909-July 1914 level,
compared with 283 a year ago. The
all-time high in January 1913 was
307. The starting point in August
1899 for the wartime rise was SO.
Farmers total costs in 1949 probably
will be about 5 percent lower than
last year.
CATTLE prices in the near future
probably will be steady to weak for
better grades of beef steers and
heifers. Consumer demand for beef
at recent prices has been quite slow.
The increased number of cattle in
feedlots and long feeding from the
abundant corn supply probably will
mean fairly large arrivals of we'll
finished grades, especially weighty
kinds.
After May or early June, how
ever, a gradual decline in the supply
Of fed cattle is likely to occur, and
prices will start to work higher.
Close topping-out of droves appears
advisable for another month or six
weeks, after which holding back for
the late summer market may be
profitable.
Low-grade slaughter cattle prob
in the next few weeks than at any
time during the rest of the year.
The supply will begin to increase
in May or June and will rise gradu-
ally through the summer and early
fall.
Stocker and feeder cattle prices
probably will be steady to slight,
lower in late spring. Demand TO
stock cattle will shrink after tn,

prices probably will continue.
HOG droves should be toppe
