9. O. P. Recognizes q Danger
Farmers, Labor and City Consumers Regarded as Having
Mutual Complaint, Which Democrats Are Dromotiznq

increase farm and labor pur-
chasing power-price supports
to give "full parity return" to
farmers and cattlemen and
for the worker an increase in
the statutory minimum wage,
which now is rs cents an hour.
A farmer-labor political
alliance never has been ef-
fected in actual terms on a
national scale, though often
tried. Democrats came closest
to it in the early Franklin D.
Roosevelt Landslide" years
when. for all practical pur-
poses, such an alliance existed.
However, farmers fell away
thereafter and Mr.. Roosevelt
worked out a coalition of once
solid South" and big indus
trial States that was a winning
combination in his last two
electoral triumphs. That, how
ever, broke apart in 1948 when
Harry Truman was saved only
by the return of farmers to the
Democratic Party in sufficient
strength in the Midwest to Off
set detection of four Southern
States to the Dixiecrat inde-
pendent party and some losses
in big urban labor areas.
Farmers and labor and city.
consumers generally have a
mutual complaint now which
also is being dramatized by
both farm and labor leaders
and could have its political
effect. This is the wide spread
between what the farmer gets
for his produce and what the
Evening star., 1953-11-04

city consumer pays across the
retail counter at the other end.
How Republicans have rec
ognized the danger of this dis
parity politically is manifest
not only in the investigation
ordered by Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson several days
ago into the spread so far as
meat is concerned. It is plain
also in the inquiry that Sena-
tor George Aiken, Republican,
of Vermont has ordered by the
staff of the Senate Agriculture
Committee, of which he is
chairman, into the spread as
it affects all farm products.
This investigation, it is
learned, will begin with an ex-
ploration of the farmers costs
of production, how much they
have increased and why, and
thence into middlemen and
what is their percentage

farm to retail counter, and to
what extent that is justified.

Returns in Virginia and

scorn of party labels that will

Clearly, many Virginia
Democrats voted for Dalton,
despite the powerful Senator's

presidential campaign. There

for this, but such independ-

One year from now the po-
litical issues will be far differ
ent from what they are today.
Looking ahead in the next
IL months, the real problem
which the Republican admin
istration will face is whether
or not a recession or depres-
sion will have arisen to bring
unemployment. If relatively
prosperous conditions prevail
throughout the country, the
Republican Party could con-
ceivably make gains. But an
adverse economic situation
would hurt the party in power.
The Republican administra-
tion here has not been in
Office long enough to get the
feel of the political situation.
It has hardly gotten acquainted
with the basic questions of
Government policy, yet attacks
have come from the Democrats,
particularly on the farm front.
Republican members of
Congress from the Farm Belt
say privately they are glad a
general congressional election
wasn't being held this autumn.
They sense that economic dis
affection is showing up in the
agricultural regions. Most of
it is due either to drought con-
ditions or to a drop in cattle
prices or both. Every one
knows that no cure that can
be devised now can recoup the
losses due to such a turn of
fate. But in politics, they don't
reason out whether the ad-
ministration in power is re-
SponSible-the voters remem-
ber only the age-old slogans
that under one kind of admin
istration they have had good
times and that under another
kind they have had bad times.
1t doesn't matter which party
has suffered from this kind of
criticism in the past-both
have experienced the same
hostility from the electorate.

House in a district which has
always sent a Republican to
Washington.
All this casts doubt on the po-
litical judgment displayed at
the White House last week
when the President first with
drew completely from the elec-
tion picture, then allowed him
self to be persuaded to march
halfway downhill, then swiftly
tumbled the rest of the way.
This was all done in response
to pressure rather than plan
and the voters have now
shown what they thought of
it, which isn't much.
In New York City, Demo-
Gratis have long been cropping
in the bottom of the barrel.
Mr.. Wagner gives them youth,
vigor and a famous tradition.
His problems are tremendous
but he has been given the kind
of mandate he needs. His
party's further progress will
greatly depend upon the rec
ord he makes.

require our remedying this
situation as soon as possible.
The existing roads will require
immediate improvement when
American military trucks begin
to roll. Hence, plans are being
made not only to modernize
the railroads, but also to i'm
prove the highways.
This means employing q
large number of SpaniardS
who at present are making O
bare living by tilling the land
and getting seasonal work.
The Madrid government is
going to control the scale Of
wages in order to avoid abnor-
NAL increases as has been the
case in other Western Euro
pean countries where we ini.
tiated similar projects. ~
The Spanish, and not the
American, wages will be paid
to the native workers who will
be employed in the construc-
ton of the new bases, which
may not be completed until
1856 or 1857.
OF course, all these plans
are predicated on the present
relatively static world condi-
tions. However, if a conflict
should break out which would
compel us to lock horns with
the Soviets either in the Far
East or in the Mediterranean,
the go-slow plans intended
to educate the Spanish econ
omy to new standards will be
given up and the military in

the end of next year, if not
earlier, under the impact of an

Republican Party Likely Will Be Sitting Well in 1854
Unless q Recession or Depression Occurs Before.

Will November, 1854, show
a substantial change in the
economic picture? If SO. the
party out of power will gain
and the Republicans will lose.
If, on the other hand, cattle
prices rebound upward and
the agricultural situation as
whole improves, the 'Republi-
cans will be the beneficiaries.
A tax cut is coming next
January both for individuals
and corporations. and the Re-
publicans will have a chance
in the next session to make a
record on economy and to
demonstrate some progress to-
ward a balanced budget. These
are not spectacular issues, but
they can be dramatized-espe-
cially if it becomes clear to
the public that a return of
the Democratic Party to con-
troll may mean a commitment
to extravaganza and waste
that could cause confidence in
the dollar to drop.
It will not be a one-sided
debate by any means and the
campaign will be fought on
more issues than the price of
cattle or whether the price
support policy has been prop
erly applied. For the next
session undoubtedly will bring
legislation on agriculture
passed with an eye toward re-
tanning Republican votes in
the Farm Belt.
Whatever this years elec-
tiOns-largely local-may con-
vey as lessons to the politi-
clans, the campaign next year
will be preceded by a six or
seven months session of Con-
gress in which the issues along
party lines will be developed
sharply-a contrast to the last
session that really marked
time in both parties.

Thonos L. Stokes

In 1948 a coalition of labor
and Midwestern farmers, each
group operating Independently
for the most part and for its
own reasons, was a big factor
in turning the election tide to
the Democrats and Harry Tru-
man and thus upsetting an all
but-conceded Republican vic
tory.
In last years presidential
election that coalition became
unstuck. A majority of Mid
western farmers sWooped over
to the Republican Party and
to Gen. Eisenhower who also,
in fact, was the beneficiary of
defections from the Democrats
in the ranks of labor. The
latter, however, still remained
a hard core of Democratic sup
port and Democrats count up
on that in their comeback
plans.
They will need the farmers,
too. or at least a substantial
percentage, and chief mission
ary work now is directed to-
ward that sector. We see that
in the way Democrats are cap
italizing the price-fall dilemma
that confronts the Republican
administration - a dilemma
which, but for the grace Of
Gen. Eisenhower'S great at
traction last November. would
have been a Democratic hair
shirt now.
Less noticed is the way the
labor allies of the Democratic
Party also are exploiting the
Republican dilemma and
courting the farmers. They
have a sound and logical basis
in the community of interest
between farmer and industrial
worker, the dependence of one
upon the other, which is now
generally recognized since the
last depression.
This theme was stressed re-
Gently by Walter Reuther,
CIO president, who took pen
in hand-or was it his ghost
writer?-and somewhat pom
tifically expressed concern for
the poor farmer whom he de-
picted as the victim of the Re-
publican administration. Said

fare of the American farmers,

tion. Thousands of blueprints
will be required before the
actual work, to be done by the
Spaniards under American
supervision, can begin.
The Spanish people must be
acclimated to the new condi-
tions which may result in a
drastic change of the present
frugal and almost medieval
mode of living.
1t will be somewhat of a
shock when the time-honored
means Of transportation, mules
harnessed to two wheeled
carts, is replaced by fast trucks
or jeeps.
The Spanish railroads con-
sist mainly of roadbeds, rails
and ties. Rolling stock is so
obsolete that travelling in a
Spanish train is generally "at
your own risk" The most mod
ern locomotives are of 1884
vintage, and the coaches. even
in the crack trains, could be
imported into the United
States duty free as antiques.
Much of Spain's railway
equipment was destroyed in
the civil war which lasted
from 1886 to 1899. World War
II which followed immediately
prevented purchase of new
rolling stock from abroad. All
the local industry could do
was patch up some of the To-
comotives to keep going the
best it could.
Spanish highways compared
favorably to our own before
World War I. Because of the
lack of heavy trucks, they are
in fair shape.

night to hold over the item until
they could revamp it. The reso-

A high Arab source said late
last night the bloc had no inten-
ton of compromising on the
principles of independence and
civil liberties for the protectorate
contained in a resolution they
introduced last year. But, the
source said, they plan to enter
modifying amendments aimed at
rallying more votes-particularly
from the Latin American coun-
tries, whose weakening stand on
Morocco spelled defeat, for that
resolution.
Germ War Charges Wound Up.
The assembly also wound up
debate last night on Red charges
that American airmen waged
germ wagfare in Korea. 1t did
not go on record as to the ver-
acity of these claims, but merely
referred the records of the debate
to its disarmament commission,
where nothing much is expected
to happen.

ing the debate introduced sworn

from them at a Russian directed
