DECLARATION -oF PRINCIPLE

Inc House Appropriations Committee has
made real and dramatic start on the job of
cutting waste out of the government-and in
stopping the trend toward socialism.
This happened on April %, when the In
terror Departments budget came up for con-
slderatiOn. The committee Slashed One-third
--S2O2, 2,473, ,161-frOm the figure submitted
by President Truman before he left office.
Much of this was taken from appropriations
for existing and proposed socialized electric
power projects.
The committee also issued a policy decla-
ration, which laid down certain all-important
principles. One isa that government should
enter the power business "onlv with those
functions or activities which private enter
prise cannot or will not undertake" Another
is that "ln all future projects or new starts
which include transmission lines. private
enterprise shall be urged to take the initia-
tive IN constructing, owning and operating
such works before money is made available
for federal construction" A third is that
IN the case of power projects now underway
private enterprise should ''be taken into
partnership to build, own and operate that
part OF each project that can be handled
by private ownership under conditions that
protect the interest of all the people"
This stand uphOlds the principle that gov
ernment has no business to spend our tax
money on any power project so long as pri-
Vate enterprise is willing and able to do the
JOB. The willingness and ability of private
enterprise is beyond argument-it can han
die the biggest and cOstliest undertakings in
stride. Every taxpayer and ever believer in
freedom should applaud the committees ac-
uoh ana declaration OF principle.

ton farmers finally got in a fairly
large acreage. nevertheless. The
price support program alone Of
fered them a good inducement to
plant rather generously. l should
not be at all surprised if u,is
years crop turned out to be we'll
above average, barring severe wee
vii or other damage. Following a
big carryOver. another large crop
would necessitate more price sup
port.
Flaxseed is another oilseed crop.
The odds are that a fairly large
crop is in the offing, since farmers
last spring expected to increase
acreage 2O%. / am inclined to
doubt, however, that the final out
turn will come up to the ten-year
average of 38,056, 600 bushels. Large
carryover stocks are in Govern
ment hands. chiefly ,in the form of
linseed oil.
WHAT ABOUT FUTURE PRICESR
Prices of farm products have
been declining for more than two
years. In fact, they are down
1880 from January 1851, but still
are 1860 above June 195O-the
month in which the Korean War
began. This drop occurred despite
Government price props. Continu-
ed large production, dwindling ex-
ports, and mounting surpluses are
a combination hard to beat. Thus
again is the old Law Of Supply and
Demand confirmed. Farm prices. il,
general, will be under pressure this
summer and fall, but / don't expect
them to collapse. Farmers should
stlll be able to buy all that they
NEED, although perhaps less than
they WANT, which may prove saI-
utary in the long run.

The principle which President Cleveland

GOOD CORN AND SOYBEAN
CROPS-IF
Last spring, farmers indicated
that they intended to plant almost
as much acreage to corn this year
as IN 1852, when the final Ottturn
amounted to 1907 900, 900 bushels
the second largest corn crop ON rec
ord. Although excessive rainfall
and cool weather delayed plant
lngs in a number of important
areas, the setback has been largely
made up. Given favorable growing
weather and no widespread frost
damage later on, we should have
another big corn crop this year.
This should be good news to hog
raisers, since it should help to
maintain a profitable corn-hog ra-
In the case of soybeans. I have
very little as yet on which to base
reliable forecast. However, pri-
Yate reports reaching me indicate
that planted acreage this wear did
not differ very much from that in
1897 and that the crop is devel-
oping well. Last years production
amounted to 291 $50 900 bushels

Foreign trade is a complex subject How
ever, one fact is not difficult to understand
There must be twO-way street.
An example of the constructive force of
foreign trade may be found in the inte in
odustry. The jute industry of India links tba
farmers OF America with the farmers of
ASIA and, in doing so accounts for twO-wav
trade that is of benefit to both. Manufac-
lure OF burlap from the jute crop of Indian
Paklstan is midas largest industrial en-
terprse. Burlap exports by India to the
United States in 1851 accounted for 26 nor
cent OF lndia's total dollar earnings and
amounted to $80,000,OOO. About 80 per cent
OF the imports of burlap by America are
used for the packaging of agricultural com
lmodltles in burlap bags The use of burIan
Dags by farmers in turn has helped to Gre
ate a foreign market for the products Of

quate maintenance and improve
ment of waterways in Delaware
are of greater Importance to him
than projects out of the state.
In his statement, the Senator
did not say he was opposed to inn
proving the Delaware River above
Philadelphia. But he did empha-
size that the State of Delaware
Goes not share proportionately in
deserved, Federal grants for the
enormous amount of taxes which
it pays annually into the Federal
Treasury.
Mr.. Frear said despite the fact
that the Board of Rivers and Har-
bors has approved the Summit
Bridge, they have included its
construction as part of an overall
improvement program for the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
Since Congress has not vet Off
cially sanctioned these improve
ments, appropriations cannot be
authorized with which to carry
them out.
In conclusion, Senator Freaf said
that the special bill introduced by
himself and Senator Williams will.
If passed, authorize the Summit
Bridge project to proceed.
