Voluntary Methods
For Adjusting Output

I do not underestimate the
difficulty of finding a satisfac-
tory method of doing this. And
I can only hope that with con-
tinued careful study and close
consultation with farmers and
their leaders ways will be found
to do something both practical
and effective.
The farm problem has
changed much since the 3Os.
Once abundance created sur
pluses because people could not
buy what the farmer could pro-
duce. Today we seek greater
abundance as we look ahead to
a 80 or 40 million increase in
our population in the next Is
years.
Nevertheless, there is the con.
slant necessity to adjust out
put to need in the. short run.
We have worked out excellent
voluntary methods for doing
this.
The Republican leadership
would now dispense entirely
with production controls. 1--WE
do not believe in restrictions on

in one Of its rare bursts of clar-
ity. I do not like acreage allot-
mentS and marketing quotas
myself. I hope-we all have good
reason to hope-that a growing
population and expanding mar
ketS will keep us from again
needing controls for staple
crops.
But farmers have learned
from bitter experience that we
need these controls in reserve.
I learned how useful they could
be in the hard school of the
Triple-A. incidentally, there
could be no tobacco program
at all right now without market
ing quotas-as every tobacco
farmer knows. I would never
favor controls for the sake of
control. But I think we have to
face a practical problem when
we see one.
Price policy is the heart of the
farm program. but 1t is not the
whole Of it. Farming is a way
of using our great inheritance
Of water and land; and it is a
way Of life. Our effort must be
to improve the fertility and
productivity of our farms, and
to improve the quality and con-
tent Of life for our farm
families. I hope to have a

KASSON, Mimi, Sept. g.
FOLLOWING is the prepared tert
OF an address By Gou. Steuenson
at the National Plo,Ding Contest
today:
I am grateful for the oppor-
tunity to talk with you about
national farm policies. I won't
waste your time this afternoon
in telling you, in the political
tradition. all about how I am
myself a farmer. I own farm
land in Illinois, and I come from
a family that has lived in the
heart of the farm belt for over
100 years. But I am here today
as a candidate for public office
not masquerading as a dirt
farmer but as a politician.
My first venture into public
service was II Washington in
the old Triple-A. This was in the
deSolate days of 1888, when the
American farmer, like everybody
else, was fiat on his back. I do
not want to suggest to anyone
that we Democrats are still run
ming against Herbert Hoover!
But I am thankful for my AAA
experience, because it showed me
IN a way I will never forget how
bad conditions can get on our
farms. I left AAA with the re-
sole that we, as a people, must
never permit our farmers to
undergo such want and priva-
ton again.
In this spirit. Democratic ad-
ministrations have developed the
farm policies of the last 20
years. AS a result, we, of this
generation, who saw farm con-
ditions at their worst in 1882
have had the happy privilege of
seeing them over the last decade
at their best. I am proud Of the
work my party has done in these
20 years to restore the American
farmer to a position of equality
and dignity in our national life.
For the last three and a half
years I have been Governor of a
great agricultural State. In this
capacity I have worked closely
with farmers and farm organi-
cations. With their help and
cooperation, we have reorgan-
lied our State Department of
Agriculture; and, if you will per-
nit me commercial here at
KasSon for a rival show, we have
improved our great State fair
and cut the cost to the taxpayer
by two-thirds. I have relied on
their advice in other fields, too
notably school and highway leg
islation. We now have under
way in Illinois the largest high
way program since the advent
OF the hard road. For the first
time a share Of our gasoline tax
Is going to the townships for
the rural roads.

than there we're In our land in
1882: and we are giving the
average American a far better
diet. More than that. this bet
ter diet costs the average per-
son no greater share Of his
income after taxes than it did
in 1932-if he was lucky enough
to have any income, after or
before taxes, in that gloomy
year.
I am not presuming for a
moment to say that. support at
80 per cent of parity is neces-
sarily the permanent or only
answer. Economic conditions
are constantly changing and
think this program, like all our
economic policies. should be
constantly reappraised to de-
termine If it is fair to the tax
payer and responsive to our
needs. We are all interdepend-
ent and the only certainty of q
stable, prosperous agriculture is
a stable, prosperous nation.
The price support program is
doing a good job for the basic
crops-corn, cotton. wheat, rice
and the otherS-for which loan
and storage operations are now
in effect. The same protec-
ton could be accorded to other
Storable commodities.
For perishable products, how
ever. such as hogs, dairy prod
ucts, fruits and vegetables.
these loan and storage opera
tions do not work well. Yet
these products provide about
three-fourths Of all the income
received by farmers.
Our first line of defense for
the producers of perishables is.
OF course, a strong economic
policy that will insure, so far
as it is humanity possible to do
50, high employment and pur-
chasing power. But behind this
there should be protection
against unreasonably low prices
for those producers Of perish
ables who need it. They should
know they can expand produc-
ton and that the public that
benefits will bear part of the
risk,

Believes It's d Policy
Most Farmers Believe In

There are no ifs, butts or
maybeS about this. And think
it is a policy that most farmers
today understand and believe
in. I only wish that everybody
understood it so well. One place
it was clearly not understood
was at the great fracas in the
Chicago stockyards, two months
ago, where one of the casualties
was the farm plank in the Re-
publican platform. There are,
Of course, two Republican par
ties for agriculture as well as
two Republican parties for for
eign policy and almost every
thing else.
AS you all know, the Chicago
slaughter finally ended in a
cease-fire agreement. According
to that agreement - better
known as the Republican plat
form - Republican policy is
"aimed"-that is their word
is aimed" at parity levels. That
phrase may have looked good
in a smoke filled room in Chica-
go. It isn't very clear here in
the daylight in Minnesota.
There is. and no one should
know it better than my distin-
guished opponent. a vast differ
ence between aiming at a target
and hitting it.
How good Is their aim any
way? Their sights were a mile
off in June of this year when
more than half the Republican
members of the House of Rep
resentatives voted. against the
law that extended price support
at 80 per cent of parity through
1854.
If the Republican candidate
says one thing and the Repub-
lican platform says something
else and the Republican men,
bers of Congress say still 9TH
ers-how then can ony one tell
what a Republican administra-
ton would actually do in Wash
ington?
There should be no mystery
about price supports. What our
program does is to place floor
under our agricultural economy
in order to protect the farmer
against sudden and violent price
drops. What it does is to main
tain farm income-and the
farmers purchasing power-in
those uneasy moments when
there is a temporary glut In the
market or when real depression
threatens. BY stabilizing farm
income, our program maintains
markets for the businessman
and the worker. The total eff
feet, obviously, is to help sta
bilize the whole national econ
omy at a high level of produce
ton and employment.
I know that opponents of the
program claim that price sup
ports raise food prices for house,
wives. Let us examine this
charge a moment. Food prices
are high enough today. Heaven
knows. But supports are not
the reason. High employment
and strong purchasing power
in short, prosperity-are keep
ing most farm prices above sup
port levels.

cies which In the last 20 years
have given farm life new
strength and new dignity and
so restored 1t to its old place Of
honor in the republic.
We of this generation are the
trustees of soil and water re-
sources for our children and
their children. We have an elab-
crate soil conservation program.
It should have constant scrutiny
to determine If we are getting
the maximum value in land i'm
provement out of our conser-
vation tax dollar. We still have
far to go in upstream flood pre-
vention and water and forest
conservation. And wish I could
say that every farmer was using
the best conservation methods
to protect his farm-methods
such as those demonstrated here
at Kasson yesterday and today
at this magnificent and cele-
brated exhibition. With the kind
Of local leadership we see here

everywhere in time, and I would
say very soon in Minnesota.

OF $31 Million in
Reclamation Funds
By the Associated Press

Senator Douglas, Democrat, o1
Illinois, aimed today at a $31

ton Bureau construction funds.
AS the Senate prepared to de-
bate its Interior Department ap-
preparation bill, Senator Douglas
said he would seek to cut that
Iamount from the $183, ,4O6, ,531 OF
construction funds included in q
total of $56O,582,364 proposed for
jail Interior Department activities
during the coming year.
The cuts he proposes, he said
yesterday. would reduce the rec

approved by the House. The SEN
ate Appropriations Committee

including some $50 million for the

A major issue was the Senate
committees inclusion of $14,95O..
OO0 for start on 10 new projects.
Ihe House had declined to an.
prove money for any new starts.
Senator Douglas declared the
10 projects eventually would cost
$500 million and said he would

plea for summer custody of her
daughter Pia, 13. and the child
leaves in few days for Aspinwall

Italy would not be in Pia's best
interest.

what leach is entitled to under
the law"
"A child is not a piece of prop
Ierty to be bought and paid for.
to be delivered under contract
and to be shelved until it is
convenient to seek it's favor" the
Judge said.
The court also deplored the
worldwide publicity attending

birth out of wedlock of a son by
him.

petition that he did not want to-
expose Pia to RoSsellini, now Miss
Bergman's husband. He charged
Rossellini has a reputation as a
libertine and narcotics user.
Judge Lilies opinion nowhere
mentioned Rossellini by name but
said a factor in the decision was
"the child's unfavorable opinion
of the defendants husband"
The jurist urged the parents
to put aside your pride and sell
f1shness" so that Miss Bergman
may be restored to Pia's affec-

his attitude of prejudice and
vindictiveness."
