Braumam Says ln1nzumizatiom
Agaimst Depression Is Sougbt
By Jeanne Rogers

Asked If Federal construction
planning was being related to a
possible depression, the Secretary
retorted. II hope we never have to
retreat to such secondary meas
ure"
Optimism was expressed by Mr..
Brannan in the prospects of the
international Wheat Agreements.
He mentioned Russia and the
Argentine as the two new nations
in the picture at this time and
said the situation was not beyond
reconciliation by any means"
Mr.. Brannan said it was too early
to predict the United States
wheat production this year and
added that an effective storage
program has yet to be achieved.
Are profits too high? was the
question directed to one of the
special guests, Senator O'Mahoney,
Democrat. Of Wyoming, and chair
man of the Joint Committee OIL
the Economic Report.
Il think industrial profits are
too high when compared with
other factors in our economy"
Senator O'Mahoney said. The
financial press has been filled with
arguments to make profits seem
not as big as they appear. Profits
and spending are measured in
exactly the same dollar"
Mr.. Brannan developed his sub
ject, Economic Stability Is the
Peoples Business" by saying de-
pressions are not merely the con-
Germ of bankers and indusSrialists.
You and I compete with some
one else for available goods" he
added. Everybody has an obi
cation to be interested in where
we are going economically. The
President had this in mind during
his trip around the country when
he talked about boom or bust"
Guests at the head table in
cluded Ralph S. Trigg. DR.. Hugh
H. Bennett and Dillard B. Lass
eter, all of the Agriculture De-
partment, and Mrs. Brannan. Miss

Voters behind the present ad-
ministration expect it to immunize
against a depression, not plan
for one, Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan said yesterday at a
luncheon meeting of the Women's
National Press Club.
Mr.. Brannan. who was chosen
by the President to coordinate
the economic stabilization pro-
gram for presentation to Congress,
spoke Of trend among business
men to plan for a recession"
The stability program is not
trailblazing into an economic
wilderness" he said. Some way
must be found to immunize this
country against another depres-
sion-one which it could not stand
in the light of Russia looking over
it's shoulder in the distance.
Maybe it's good business on the
part of the people to plan for a
depression, but I don't think they
intend for the administration to
sit down and plan for one. They
intend for us to work for economic
stability.
If Government joins business
in planning for a depression, I
don't see how we can miss one.
We have to quit worrying about
prices-if they are going up or
down"
Secretary Brannan defended
himself against recent criticisms
that he should tend to his
knitting" by reminding that the
farmer led the way into depres-
sions in the past, stayed there
longest and recovered the slowest.
THE farmer is in the disadvan-
tage class as far as income is
concerned" Mr.. Brannan stated.
He said the average income Of
farmers in 1948 was 5000 as
against $1,565 in all nonfarm
groups. In 1948 farm prices
dropped 13 per cent on the aver
age. he continued. and industry
prices went up per cent.
Touching on several phases of
the five-section Economic Stabil-
ity Act. Mr.. Brannan said the
Presidents taxation proposal was
based on his belief that when
people have good incomes they
should pay their debts" In rela-
ton to Federal loans, he declared
that nowhere in the act does it
say the Government is going into
any industry"
DO you believe farm support
prices should be held at the pres
ent levels?" he was asked.
I'VE are working hard to get our
views ready for Congress-" he
replied.

About 1000 tOWnspeOpIe anu

The king and queen were
elected by the student body dur
