80 per cent of parity Of farm
commodities prices but would
actually try for 100 per cent.
But after the election they
changed their minds and pro-
posed instead the so-called fiexi-
BILE price supports from rs to 30
per cent.
Warned About Veto.
Some Of the Republicans Of
the Eighty third Congress who
held out for the 80 per cent rigid
price support set by the previous
Democratic administration were
told by the Republican leaders
that such bill would be vetoed.
The Democrats warned that Q
flexible price support program
would result in the farmers get
ting lower prices for his product
and in his paying higher prices
for the things he bought.
And that is exactly what hap
pened.
The prices the farmer now gets
for his product have declined on
the average 20 per cent in the
last two years. But the cost Of
living for him. as for others. has
gone up to an all-time high.
cannot understand how any
farmer in the coming congress
sional elections, after the recent
treatment of the farmers by the
Republican administration, could
vote Republican.
I have voiced a few of the
reasons why I think it necessary
to ask for a Democratic Con-
greSs. I have not tried to single
out all the mistakes that have
been made-the list is long. AL
administrations make mistakes.
but what concerns me greatly
is the fundamental attitude and
outlook of the policy-makers Of
this Republican administration.
1t is now clear that they do
not represent the best interest
of our people, and in 20 months
they have changed dangerously
our liberal form of government
to one of reaction at home and
confusion abroad.
I cannot see where there is
any leadership among the Re-
publicans to deal with the great
needs of this country. On the
contrary, what I do see is .
hopeless drifting and a gradual
surrender to selfish interests at
home.
I would not have you go home
tonight in a mood of despair
and gloom. Happily for us we
have a simple and sure remedy.

control Of the Congress.

sponsored electriflcation program
has reached such successful de-
| yelopment and operation. the big
utility monopolies are trying to
take over control.
Apparently they are being en-
couraged by this Republican
administration in their attempted
raids.
Within 90 months this adj
ministration has confronted the
country with a historic and
dangerous program to give away
the resources and rights care
fully developed by Republicans
as well as Democrats over 80
years. Unless we do something
about it, these precious rights
are in grave danger Of being
given away to special monop-
olistic interests in the West
the Northwest-and the South,
and wherever else the people own
great assets.
I wonder if I can get back now
a little more closely to home
to the farm. I was brought up
and worked on a farm for many
years. think I understand
something about the problems
of agriculture, and since I have
come back home, I have been
keeping in close touch with the
prices of farm products and the
prices of the things the farmer
has to buy. i.
Related to Labor.
The prosperity of the farmer
is directly related to the pros
perity of the Nation. His lot is
closely related to labor and to
business. Yet his livelihood
more than that of any other
people depends on the forces Of
nature.
If a large section Of our farm
population suffers from a dis
aster such as drought or flooc
or is blessed by bumper crops
the rest of the Nation soon feeli
the consequences.
For over 20 years we have ha6
experience with many ap-
proaches to the problem Of pro.
viding the farmer with security
during critical times.
For over 20 years we have beer
working out a system to stabilize
our farm economy and to allow
the average farmer a measure
of reasonable security. We die
this not only in the interest o.
the farmer but we did this tt
protect the Nation as a whole
Among other things we worked
out a system of reasonable parity
supports for some of our basic
commodities which gave the
farmer a chance for balanc;
between the prices he received
for his products End the prices
he paid for the things he has tc
buy.
During the 1852 campaign
warned the farmers that if the
Republicans came into control
parity props would be cut, and
their prosperity would suffer.
But the Republicans during
that campaign promised that
they not only would continue the

at what has happened. Let's
look at the mysterious Dixon
Yates contract award by the
administration. Surely this Dix.
on Yates award cannot be said
to be competitive-since COM
petitive bidding was not per-
mltted. I wonder If we can even
regard it as any kind of pri-
vate enterprise since all the
risks are assumed and under
written by the Government and
the profits are guaranteed by
the Government. In fact. 1t is
a public subsidy at public ex-
pense for the benefit of a pri-
vate monopoly. The Dixon-Yates
award consequently is a good
example of what Republicans
mean when they campaign for
free competitive enterprise.
1t is not competitive. This is
certainly not what we mean by
enterprise since no venture by
pioneering private individuals is
involved and all the risks are
assumed by the public.
Plain Give-Away.
Since it is neither competitive
nor is it enterprise. there is no
doubt about it being free. It
is just a plain give-away Of
public money and national re-
sources.
I am afraid Of the effect this
transaction may have on the
future of our atomic energy pro-
gram.
The Atomic Energy Commis-
sion is one of the most sensitive
and is the most important agency
in our Government.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion has enjoyed the respect and
confidence of the public and the
Congress since it was established.
Atomic energy today is our great
est public resource. It's effect on
the future development of the
Nation is unlimited. Extreme
care and vigilance must be ex-
ercised to make sure that the
people get the full benefit of this
revolutionary, new source of
power.
The people have paid for it
and the people own it.
The commission should not be
subjected to influences that
would impair its standing with
the public or the Congress by
raising doubts concerning its
dealings with private industry.
There is another vast resource
owned by the people about which
am equally concerned. and
that is the IVA. Bad as the
Dixon Yates contract is, it
would be tragic if it were the
opening wedge to destroy the
IVA, one of our greatest public
assets.
I personally believe there is a
brazen attempt in the making
to wreck it. The IVA has shown
the way to open up vast areas
of this country by the harness.
ing and utilization of water
power. And by it's efficient man
agement the IVA has become a
yardstick which keeps the big
utility combines of the country
from overcharging the consumer
for power and light.
Important Developments.
In the past, right -thinkingsRe-
publicans as well as Democrats
took part in the development
and conservation of our natural
resources.
Many important public power
developments have been built
where private utility companies
were unable or unwilling to pro-
vide electric power and light.
Millions of rural homes and
farms today would lag in the
progress and comfort of the rest
Of the country If they had to
depend upon private utility
monopolists.
But now that the Government

If it does not respond to ele-
mentary humanity. to act at
once on any number of practical
programs to create jobs and new
opportunities for work.
I see no sense in standing idly
by. waiting for a miracle, while
millions are joblesS.
The appointment Of a COM
mission for study, while laudable,
will not meet the immediate
problem-it will not put people
to work.
The recent appointment of a
commission to study the pos
sibility of a vast highway pro-
gram should in time result in
new employment. But when?
Do you suppose they really mean
to bring our obsolete highway
system up to date? I hope they
do mean it. 1t will mean thou
sands of jobs and the saving of
lives on the highways.
But those now out of work
cannot wait for possible jobs in
an uncertain future. These mil
lions cannot be treated as ex-
pendable casualties of a peace
time economy.
This is not the way the Demo-
cratic Party feels about people
out of work. The Democrats
would know how to anticipate
such situation and plan in
advance to deal with it.
Unguarded Comment.
OF course, the Republican ad-
ministration keeps assuring us
that it is not unmindful of
human misery.
Yet one Of it's top spokesmen,
in an unguarded moment, has
revealed what many believe lis
the real thinking of those who
influence the economic policy of
the present Government.
The other day this spokesman
let something slip which apollo
gists for him have rushed in to
explain. They insisted that he
did not quite mean it the way it
sounded. But the man himself
surprised by the angry reac-
ton throughout the country pub
licly stated that he was sorry
he had compared the unem-
ployed-to the bird dog and the
kennel dog.
I don't like to take note of this
kind of nonsense. But it seems
to many of us that this is typi-
cal expression of an attitude of
too many big business spokes-
men in the Republican Party
who have that kind of social
philosophy. OF course, most of
the time these spokesmen are
cautious in their public state
ments, but every now and then
in unguarded moments they
can't help but reveal what they
really think.
Some of you may think that
this is an isolated case and that
we should not be too alarmed
by a statement of one mans at
titude. Well then, let us look
at the deeds and not the words
of the administration.
It's spokesmen may be able to
withdraw their words and seek
to comfort us with the reassur-
ance that no one in the adminis-
tration is Indifferent to human
misery.
Deeds Recorded.
But the deeds are on the rec
ord. And the record leaves little
doubt as to what interests in the
Nation are being best served by
this Republican administration.
In the 1852 campaign the Re-
publicans kept talking about the
so-called creeping socialism of
the Democratic program and
that when they came to power
they would restore to this Ma
ton the benefits of free COM
petitive enterprise. The Repub-
licans certainly could not have
been too serious about restoring
a free competitive enterprise
which we already had. Free
competitive enterprise was do
ing very we'll under Democratic
management bringing prosper
Gus times to agriculture, to busi-
ness and to labor. But now look
