TUESDAY. MARCH 10. 1853


Mr. Benson explained II second
speech that he believes price supports are
not adequate to keep agriculture going and
made it clear that he wished to build 4 farm
program under which farmers could mar
ket products with a minimum need OF price
supports. He stressed the fact that he
sought to provide equal security as with
price supports, although faNorng other
methods over supports.
Thus, Secretary of Agriculture Benson
has stuck by his. guns, in the face of Demo-
cratic attack, and is setting about to build
new Republican farm program on which
the success or failure Of the Republicans at
the polls in 1856 may rest. Details Of the
program are yet to be announced, though
the new Secretary has called on farmers
for advice and assistance in building it. No
doubt the Secretary viii pet more advice
than assistance but. nevertheless. his new
program will be closely watched by both
Republicans and Democrats. alike

normal ways Of life. While The average
American is more ndiVidualistic than the
citizen Of any other country, he is. never
theless, often duped by the mass effect Of
such propaganda.
Mans intelligence can be pretty ac-
curately measured BY what he reads. Every
individual should realize that when he be-
comes satisfied with his knowledge and
stops educating himself, he is sure to 90
backward intellectually from that point on.
1t should also be kept in mind that only the
intelligent are wise enough to continue to
seek knowledge and education
With this in mind we suggest that those
who gobble up all the spicy novels Of the
day make it a rule to read at least ono

each three love novels. Anyone who viii
follow such a resolution will improve his

SECRETARY Of Agriculture Ezra Taft
- Benson recently said he was firmly con
WINGED that the nations farmers supported
the stand he had taken in speech made at
st. Paul, MINI, in February At the time,
he said he believed price supports should
be used as disaster" subsidies
The speech was attacked by Democrats
in Congress-, who accused Mr.. Benson of be-
ing opposed to the present prce-support
program and Of endangering the welfare Of
the farmer Secretary Benson. however, says
his mail has been at the ratio Of l5-to-one
in favor of the stand he took in the St
Paul speech.
In another speech, his second maj or
speech since becoming Secretary Of Agri-
culture, Mr.. Benson told the National Farm
Institute in Des Moines, Iowa. that he would
not build i new program which would bring
disappoint to the farmer. He also said
he believed in price support and was under
oath to administer those on the books at
present.

constitutional usurpation of power
on the part of president who must
have known that he could not hope
to get a formal declaration of war
from Congress in the proper legal
manner. And although he called it
United Nations police action, the
fact remains that he ordered Ameri-
can troops into battle many hours
before the United States took any
action whatsoever.
