Perhaps I am simple-mind-

taxpayers at above world mar
ket prices to give farm pro-
ducers an assured market at

These products cannot be
dumped on the home market
without canceling the purpose
behind their purchase.
But meanwhile, the United
States continues to aid friend
ly nations with money appro-
priations for which we are
further taxed. A portion of
the money goes to purchase
food which the recipients must
import. Why not give them
the food?
Congress appropriates mon
ey for military aid. Part of the
cost of maintaining armies is
in feeding them. All foreign
armies are badly fed by Amer
can mess standards, but
some are badly fed by any
standards. The French army,
for example, is badly fed. yet,

Our plans to help organize

are in allegiance. France Is
still opposed. Before we agreed
to attend the foreign minis
tiers conference it was decided
that If France had not ratified
the European Defense Com
munity agreement by the end
of February we would give the
Bonn government the green
light to create a military force
Of between IL and 20 divisions.
These plans are bound to be
postponed for at least as long
as the Berlin parleys continue,
which may be many weeks.
If they are successful. it Is
doubtful that we shall en-

human a trade as politics.
Their present reluctance to
explore fully and publicly the
social aspects Of the farm
problem is part Of the general
anti intellectualism of the
times.
Planning. like the toothpick.
is not mentioned in polite
Washington society and its
necessary use Is carried on
more or less surreptitiously
lest the congressional primi-
tives raise the cry of New
Dealer.
Senators best acquainted
with the farm problem admit
however that nothing done so
far represents a basic approach
and that in the meantime
the whole face Of agriculture
is changing, with life more
difficult all the time for the
family-size farmer. They do
not think that Secretary Ben

kind of agriculture do we really
