prices down swiftly but would be
too drastic for the French people to
swallow.
More Efficiency
So M. Mendes-France is taking
the long way around. He proposes
to reduce tariffs and sharpen COM
petition, thus inducing more eff1ci-
ency, and to increase productivity
by government encouragement to
selected industries. The government
encouragement will take the form Of
credits and tax advantages to eff
Gent and essential industries.
The frank aim is to squeeze out
the inefficient-a radical suggestion
in Europe. To tide over those who
suffer- M. Mendes-France wants to
set up national fund which would
help both workers and employers.
Curiously, what the Mendes-
France government accomplishes on
the European Defense Community
treaty will have a direct bearing
on the success of his economic
plans. To halt imitation the French
Premier hopes to tie wages to pro-
ductivity. This is not likely to get
the cooperation of the trade union
movement, which Is dominated by
the Communists. What support the
Red-controlled unions give the eco
nomic program, OF course, depends
heavily on how M. Mendes-France
handles EDO.
The rate at which he was pushing
EDO does not augur well for getting
worker support for his economic
"reconversion" program, as he calls
it. He realizes this, and hopes that
in the several years" it will take to
put the reconversion into effect the
Communist influence can be reduced.
M. Mendes-F France expects to get
EDO debate started in the National
Assembly the last week in August.
He hopes to get approval for the
pact by obtaining pledges from the
other EDO nations, West Germany,
Belgium. Netherlands, Luxembourg
and Italy, to hold certain of the
supernatural provisions of the
treaty in allegiance.

The Problem

Farmers have been hit by eco
nomic disasters time and again
since the country was founded
With the advent Of the New Deal
in the '30s the Federal Government
assumed the responsibility for keep
Ing the farm economy on an even
keel.
The basic philosophy has been
this in both Democratic and Repub-
lican administrations:
!. Agriculture is basic industry:
farm prosperity is important for
the entire Nation.
2. Conditions under which farms
operate cannot be controlled by
man. AS a result production of
agricultural goods is much more
uncertain and hazardous than
manufacturing industrial goods.
where conditions generally are
man-made.
8. The farmer acting alone can
not cope with the problems inherent
in his industry.
4. The basic tool of farming-the
soils perishable natural re-
source which should be used in the
public interest.
5. Only the Federal Government
can ease the farmers problems and
protect the Nations interests.
Two Questions
This bipartisan philosophy has
given rise to these questions: How
much aid-and interference that
goes with it-should the Government
give? What form should the aid
take? There are widely varyine
answers.
The first New Deal answers were
in the form Of modest price supports
and direct payments for not plant
ing. Their true effect on the farm
economy still is disputed, but farm
income did rise. In 1898 the price
support program was expanded, and
production controls became indirect.
The program prescribed flexible
support system, varying from So to
IS per cent Of parity-the "fair"
price to the farmer-for storable

in that 1t expanded production just
in time for World War II and pro-
vided a needed stockpile of farm
commodities. Support levels were
raised during the war.
BY 1913 when Congress had to
replace the expiring farm law,
farmers were agreed that under the
then 80 per cent supports they
never had it so good. The program
was costly. however. It was begin
ming to pile up unneeded SURPRISES.
The 1948 and successive Con-
crosses were presented with new
farm programs, which usually called
for lower support levels.
But Congress had the same answer
for all of them: MdnGna. Ninety
per cent supports for basic farm
commodities remained on the books.
