good for both the Government
and the taxpayers.

Association said it's members
would be seriously and adverse

announced it plans to fight it at
the SEC hearing.
3. A private group headed by
Walter Won Tresckow of New

out the project. saying its plan
would save the Government at
least $3.50 million over Dixon

Wool Payment Plan
Is Not Brannan Plan

AN EDITORIAL on wool which
appeared in recent issue of your
magazine stated that the direct pay
ment plan for wool, as advocated by
the present Administration, was
nothing more nor less than the
Brannan Plan applied to wool"
1 believe your readers should be
informed that the use of payments
as a method of maintaining the price
of agricultural commodities, and
particularly wool, was not original
with Secretary Brannan.
Three years before the so-called
Brannan Plan, In April 1916, Sen
ator O'Mahoney of Wyoming and
Congressman Granger of Utah in
troduced identical bills in the 10th
Congress which had as their prin-
ciple the encouragement of do
nestle wool production by the use
of direct payments. might say that
the Agricultural Act of 1913 provid-
ed for payments, also. This was one
year before the Brannan Plan.
The Brannan agricultural pro-
gram now referred to as the
Brannan Plan - first saw the light
of day on April Z, 1949, before a
joint session of the Senate and
House Agriculture Committees.
This plan called for support of nom
perishable commodities thrdug h
loans and purchase agreements. Per-
iShables would be supported
through production payments
Therefore, you can see that loans
and purchases, which are generally
acceptable, were just as much a
part of the Brannan Plan as were
payments Actually the method of
support was not the objectionable
feature of the Brannan Plan, but the
socialistic tendency of limiting sup
port to production from family-size
farms on the basis of cash receipts
rather than net farm income.
The American taxpayers will be
pleased to learn that the proposed
wool legislation does not provide for
the payments from tax receipts.
Payments will be made. from the
general treasury which in turn will
be reimbursed from tariff collec-
lions on competitive wool imports.
This method has been termed by
many as double use" of tariff re-
ceipts. Not only will this double
use" of the tariff make the industry
more self-dependent, but it will also
eliminate. all government stocIpil.

Woolgrowers have historically

possible for our industry to be

ly, this new approach of drawing
upon a portion of the duties collect
ed upon wool imports appears to be
the most feasible method of max

increasing production to the min

rity.
1 believe that you will agree that
the need for separate consideration
of critically needed domestic wool
production is self-eVident. Along
with sugar, wool is the only other
large farm crop which is in deficient
supply. Past and present price sup
port programs have not maintained
production. Our present level of
wool production is equivalent only
to about one-half of what was re-

That sounded fine when the
late President Roosevelt and Sir
Winston issued the Atlantic
Charter August IA, 1941. But to-
day, the United States boycotts
all trade with Communist China
in an acknowledged effort to
thwart the economic prosperity
of the Reds.
Did the Eisenhower Churchill
statement mean that the United

Chinese Communists?

Petrov, Ex-Red Spy,
Heard in Australia
By the Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia, June
30.-Vladimir Petrov made his
long-awaited public appearance
before the Royal Commission on
Espionage today, but his early
evidence lacked the sensations a
packed courtroom had expected.
The former Soviet Embassy
employe devoted most of his
testimony today to details of his
early life in Russia.
Mr.. Petrov was granted polit-
ical asylum in Australia last
April after he brought a mass
of documents from his embassy
and told Australian officials he
headed Russian spy ring in
Australia. His wife later joined
him in exile.
Parliament created the three

broke diplomatic relations with
Australia over the incident.

mission he had been christened

but had changed his name to

said young Reds had of show
ing they were of the proletariat
and Communist enthusiasts.
He added that Soviet diplo-
matte authorities changed his
name to Petrov when they sent
him to Sweden in 1912 because
Proletaski wasn't a suitable
name to be used abroad. He
said he didn't know of the

The Canadian government is
eager to withdraw the brigade of
Canadian soldiers in Korea, now
that further fighting there seems
unlikely. These troops are part

sion, and their future is likely

But perhaps the most impor-
tant question the Canadian gov

the adviSability of arranging a
conference of Commonwealth
Prime Ministers in the near fu-
ture.
Such a conference might help
clear up doubts and misunder-
standings with respect to the
Vests intentions in Southeast
Asia. it is felt here. But at the
same time, the Canadian govern
ment believes strongly that the
initiative for calling such a con-
ference must come from New
Delhi, Karachi or Colombo rather
than from London or Ottawa.
Cheered by Thousands
This is Sir Winston's first visit
to Ottawa in more than two
years, and it's generally believed
it will be his last. Consequently
public interest in the presence
of the distinguished statesman
is at high pitch in this usually
blaSe capital. Tens of thousands
of people lined the streets last
evening and again today to see
and cheer him.
Winnie didn't disappoint them.

Reciprocal Trade Bill
Is Sent 10 President
BY the AsSeeIofed Press

Congress has sent President
Eisenhower a bill to continue the
reciprocal trade agreements act
for another year. The 20-year-
old law died June IL.
Congressional action on the
bill was finished yesterday. Presi-
dent Eisenhower has asked for a
three-year extension of the trade
law together with bigger tariff
cutting powers. He has urged
approval of this program early
next year.
Most of the authority for ne.
gotiation of new pactS has been
used up. but the law still would
permit the working out of a trade
agreement with Japan.
