THE NUMBER
ONE ISSUE

The number one issue facing
the new Congress - the second
session of the Efghty-Fourth Con-
grpss - is the farm issue. This
has been written so many times
that the statement is no longer
news
However, the situation confront
ing the Republican Party is a del
icate one, which might affect this
party's chances In this years cleo
ton considerably
In the first place, the Demo
crafts have already pushed their
ninety percent parity price sup
ports bill through the House in
this Congress. Last year, this bill
was passed by the House; by a
narrow margin, and event to the
Senate. The Senate failed to act
ON ii In 1855. but 1t is expected
that this bill VIII be passed by
the Senate at this session OF
Congress
II and when the Senate does
pass the H~ouse-pasDed farm bin,
the issue will be put squarely up
to President Eisenhower. He will
either have to veto the higher
price supports bill, which Repub-
lfcans say he VII do, or sign it in
spite of the fact that it Is not the
farm relief bill he favors-
IL the President vetoes the bill,
which Is likely, be will face a
most delicate situation, since the
Republicans are not in the ma
iority In Congress and will prob
ahly be unable to pass their own
farm program II this occurs, and
the farmer gets no relief from
this session Of Congress, the mood
of farmers in this country will
certainly be disgruntled in No
vember of this year. President
Eisenhower, and the Republicans,
VIII be. placed ON the defensive.
This Is the strategy Democrats
are expected to employ In this
session of Congress and the fight
over farm relief may be the most
important issue to be fought out
in the halls of Congress during
this session.

USE OUR OWN
REINDEER!

The principal farming region:
Of this country are distant from
the oceans. But those oceans, ano
the u. S. = flag merchant ships
that ply them, are vitality impor-
tant to American agriculture.
Anyone who doubts that would
do well to read a factual study
released by the Committee OF
American Steamship Lines.
Some 20 per cent of Americas
$4,000, 000, 900 export trade comes
from our farmlandS. Because of
the urgent need to dispose of the
agricultural SURPRISES, the farm
er's dependence on a strong u. S.
merchant marine is greater than
ever.
Specifically, wheat farmers
work every fourth acre for for
eign customers, and cotton pro-
ducers every fifth acre. Nearly
half of all the whole dried milk
produced in America goes to for
eign ports, as does 20 per cent of
the tobacco. And the volume of
farm exports is rising - swiftly.
From July through September of
last year, these exports increased
20 per cent over the same period
in 1854.
All of the vast flood of exports
must move by ship and it is
obvious that il would be folly to
place our dependence on foreign
merchant marines. This casts a
revealing light on the efforts of
certain foreign countries to bring
about repeal of the Cargo Pref
erence Act. commonly known as
the $3.50 law, which provides
that half of all governmental
uanced cargoes must be carried
in American ships - il those
ships are available and at reason
able rates. AS the Committee ac-
c~urately puts it, Some foreign
maritime interests want to
deprive Santa Claus of the right
to use his own reindeer" in de-
livering II. S. aid cargoes over
seas.
Happily, American agriculture
isn't likely to be deluded by these
efforts - as is evidenced by the
fact that the National Grange
and other farm organizations
have strongly endorsed $3.50.

Y A
WINNER


Early in December a meeting
Of Importance was held in Chi
cago. 1t was called by the lead
ing farm organizations. Also pres
ent were representatives of the
meat packing and distribution in
dustries-
The purpose of the meeting was
to establish specific target dates
for special meat campaigns and
promotions which had been ten
tativeIy decided upon at an ear
lier time. Recent developments
in livestock production and prices
were reviewed. 1t was pointed out
that record supplies of meats
are depressing farm markets and
that aggressive efforts are nee
essary to encourage meat con-
sumption. As an example of what
is to be done, the pork packer
members of the American Meat
Institute r making up a large
fund for promoting pork and pork
products in the immediate future.
A major pork campaign will be
conducted during the January &C.
February 4 period, when very
large supplies of hogs will come
TO market. Other campaigns, in
volving other meats in addition
to pork, will follow periodically.
1t will be a great thing for the
country if this work achieves the
success it deserves and helps to
alleviate the present livestock
problem. And the producers are
not the only ones who will bene-
fit - a cardinal principle of the
campaigns is to offer consumers
excellent buys.
