Republicans Hail
Speech By Byrnes
Quotations From Address Of Ex-
Secretary OF State Reveal
Democrats Divided
BY Associated Press

Republicans had an oratorical
field day this week quoting a Dem
ocrat, James F. Byrnes, on the
dangers of welfare state"
Byrnes, former Secretary of
State, piloted many New Deal mea-
sures through Congress as Senator
and Administration leader. He said
in a speech Saturday that if some
proposed federal programs are
adopted there is danger everyone
will be an economic slave pulling
an oar in the galley of the state"
Republicans in both the House
and Senate gleefully picked it up.
This touched off some bitter eX-
changes among Democrats.
Grinning broadly, senator
Bridges (R-NH) called Byrnes a
great statesman who now "is TAX
ing the binders off the American
people" He said he hoped it i'm
pressed Congress.
Then Senator Pepper (D-Fla)
tore into the Byrnes speech and de-
Tended the programs of the 194S
Democratic platform.
IL understand that during the
last campaign he (Byrnes) declin-
ed an invitation to address himself
to the country for his President
his party and his party's platform, u
Pepper said.
But another Democrat, Senator
Maybank of South Carolina, inter
rupted to defend Byrnes, who had
also had called for budget bal
ance by cutting expenses. Byrnes
is a fellow South Carolinian.
Maybank asked if Pepper was fol
deficit spending = the government
spending beyond it's income.
Pepper said it is necessary to re.
sort to it sometimes. We did it in
depression years and he sale
} Byrnes, then an administration big
wig, didn't object
Yes, said Maybank, but now the
banks are bursting with money.
And Pepper shot back that tina
may be true unemployment is ris
ing.
II am still of the opinion tina
the worst thing Congress can dC
at this time is to resort to defici
financing or impose new taxes,
Maybank replied.
In the House Representativ,
Curtis (R-Neb) said it doesn't TAX,
a genius to conclude that govern
ment is too large and taxes tot
high.
He said Byrnes should be con
graduated and added that econom,
talk is useless if Congress adds t,
government tasks the obligation o
building homes, paying citizens
medical bills, educating children
enacting disability insurance. o
making the social security pro
) gram more costly.

domestic needs. It's drought brok-
en-, Canada has planted the largest
wheat acreage since the war. The
Australian acreage is large and is
being planted under favorable con-
ditions. Russia's bread grain crops
are much more promising than at
any time since the war and al
though accurate information is
scanty such data as is available in
the trade indicates its exports are
likely to be between 100000 and
100,000,000 bushels.
The Hirsches estimate that the
total world demand for wheat inn
ports from the .1949-5O crop will be
S25 100000 to 9O0,00O,0OO bushels
and that the exportable surplus
will be between 1,160,000,000 and
,2O5 100000 bushels.
This estimate allows 650,O0O,OO0
from the United States (from the
1949 crop only; 24O,0OO,O0O or
more from Canada: 20,000,O00 to
1OO,000,000 from Argentina; the
figures given for Russia, and 49,
100000 for other exporters, includ-
! ing North Africa, the Middle East
and Uruguay. 1t indicates that
there will be a large increase in
world wheat stocks at the end of
the 1949-50 crop year, the econo-
mists pointed out.
Animal Holdings Increasing
i Animal holdings in Europe are
increasing, another favorable fac
tor for political stability, but the
demand for feed grains has been
rising only slowly. In feed grains
there is situation comparable
with that of bread grains.
The economists estimated that
our wheat carryover on July l.
1949, may exceed SOO,OOO,OO0 bush
els and that on July 1, 1850, as
suming that present prospects
which cannot be forecast scientifi-
cally-are realized, it will be dou-
BILE that or 60O,000,000 bushels
This, they point out, confronts this
country with a serious surplus
problem.
Three programs have been ad.
vanced for dealing with the sur.
plus situation. The Aiken Pro
gram, now in effect, seeks to re
duce surplus production by grad
ual price reduction, combined will
some restrictions. The BrannaI
Program, now being debated, woulC
seek to maintain or even to rais'
prices to farmers by using subsid
les to lower prices to the consumes
in the hope of expanding consump
tion and thus, together with pro
duction and marketing controls
adjusting agriculture to it's new
situation.
The Wherry Plan, advanced il
the last fortnight by Senator Ken
meth S.. Wherry of Nebraska, Re
publican floor leader, is based Ol
diversion of farm surpluses to in
dustrial uses, for alcohol fuel an
various other purposes.

Bread-G Grain Yield
To Exceed Demand
Rice-GrOwing Countries In Far
East Show Definite Gains
Also, Survey Finds

A worldwide bread grain sur
plus looms as a survey indicated
that only Rumania, Greece, Spain
and southern Italy, in varying de-
gree, were affected by last winters
drought in Europe.
The rice-growing countries in
the Far East at last are we'll along
in definite improvement, according
to the survey, made by DR.. Julius
Hirsch and Mrs. Edith Hirsch, eco
nomists for industrial interests.
South Korea may have an export
able surplus of rice and other
grains for the first time since the
end of the war, thanks to the ef-
fective use of fertilizers obtained
from the United States.
India, which once with China
was plagued by frequent famines,
is firmly started on an ambitious
three-year program for self-sufi
cheney in basic foodstuffs. While
the programs goal may not be at
tanned by the target year, 1851, a
large measure of agricultural re-
covery is in sight.
The Philippines has begun a ten
year rice program. A land reform
and agricultural rehabilitation pro
gram has been introduced in Japan
with the aid of United States ex.
perts that promises to bring about
more effective use of it's arabic
land area.
Exports of Rice Increased
Exports of rice from the three
main exporters in Asia, Siam
Burma and Korea, were about one
third higher during the first thre,
months of this year than in thu
corresponding period of 194S, tn,
Hirsches said.
This was owing mainly, they
said, to large exports from Sian
and better than expected ship
ments from Burma. Contributin,
to the relief of the pressure OF
the rice supply is the fact tha
bread grains are being more read
lily accepted as a substitute TO
rice by parts of the population il
Japan and India.
With the aid of western tech
nique, western materials and ma
chimes and in some western finan
cial help, the spectre of famine i
being banished from Asia as it ha,
been earlier in Europe through
bumper western hemisphere crop
and rounded aid through the Mar
= shall Plan.
In Asia, as in Europe, thi
should contribute toward politica
: stability and toward swinging tn
political pendulum from extremist
to conservatism. 1t should satisf

stuff. for the worlds masses.
: Crop Reports Less PeSsimistic
Crop reports from Europe ar
now less pessimistic than the
were two months ago, the Hirsche
I reported. 1t appears that Europe
) bread grain crops may be as larg
: as last years, increases in som
areas balancing the drought losse
in Rumania, Greece, Spain an
