Subsidies Defended
By Brannan as Part
Of Economic System

Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan today defended Government
subsidies as "a part of the eco
nomic system of this country"
He specifically praised a Gov
eminent plan to give farmers $3.50
million next year to improve their
own land.
Let's don't get scared at the
word subsidy-it is a part of the
economic system of this country"
Secretary Brannan told IS radio
farm editors from all over the
United States and Canada.
Questioned Closely.
The editors questioned him
closely about expenses of the farm
program, especially the $3.50 mil
lion for agricultural conservation
payments.
Some people use the ACP to
attempt to embarrass farmers, "
Secretary Brannan said. But ACP
lis the cheapest and most effective
method of getting the job (of soil
and water conservatory DONE"
Secretary Brannan, in reply to
another question, denied that the
Handouts" had bad psychology
ical effect on farmers. He said
they represented only a small por-
ton of farm income.
Secretary Brannan listed other
Government subsidies for sugar
producers. shipping lines, airlines
and other industrial enterprises.
Asked for Subsidy List.
Asked for a list of every one who
gets subsidy, Secretary Brannan
told a radio reporter, we've never
put out such a list, but you
couldn't use it anyway because
you have advertisers"
But when," a reporter asked,
lis all of this going to stop and
the national debt going to be
lpaid?"
You can't do 1t by stopping
ACP payments" Secretary Bran
nan said. Don't give a cent to
any agricultural program and
what have you contributed to bal
ancing the budget?"
Under the ACP program, the
Agriculture Department pays
farmers for carrying out soil and
water conservation practices on
their own land. The farmers spend
out of their own pockets amounts
at least equaling the Government
payments.
I Cites National Problem.
I Secretary Brannan said that if
the Government did not make
such payments. farmers would not
Improve even their own land. He
said maintenance of America s
agricultural land was a problem
for all the country. not just the
individual farmers who own it.
Other Agriculture Department
speakers outlined Americas popu-
lation growth that will provide q
tremendously increased demand
for farm products by 1875.
with this demand, can farmers
be expected to get high enough
prices so they will produce the
food without Government farm
lprograms?" A reporter asked.
mo" Secretary Brannan re-
piled, mot without even strength
ening the present programs"

Demand D: q! Deposits Rose
M.4Pct. During 81,
Fifth i | District Reports .
BY Nelson M. Shepard

Demand deposits of individuals,
Partnerships and corporations in
Fifth District commercial banks
increased more in the year ended
January 81, 1852, than in any
postwar year.
The total was $5,1O1 200, 900, an
increase of $479 million, or 10.4
per cent. over January 81, 1851.
The Fifth Districts total also was
5.4 per cent of the national total.
This is the finding of a survey
of demand deposit ownership
made public today in the Monthly
Review of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond.
The Richmond Bank said total
business accounts, which make up
53,2 per cent of all demand de-
poSits. lose 1912 per cent in the
yearly period. Of this rise, nom
corporate accounts. which were
28.5 per cent of the total bust
ness deposits, increased 16.2 per
cent. Corporate accounts increased
only per cent.
Personal Deposits Rise.
Nom Financial business accounts,
which were 83.5 per cent Of all
business ACCOUNTS, rose 10.4 per
cent, while financial business &C
counts increased 95 per cent. This
contrasts, the survey reported,
with postwar rise in non-f 1nan-
cial business accounts of 1858 per
cent and in financial business &C.
counts of 96.9 per cent.
Personal deposits accounted for
nearly 80 per cent of Fifth Dis
trict demand deposits during the
survey year, rising 1913 per cent
above year ago. From July, 1945,
when they were 1871 per cent of
total demand deposits, to January,
1852, the increase amounted to
$601 million. This was 1876 per
cent.
