Farm Program

l have a special comment on
two of these matters.
First, agriculture. reiterate
the theme of my January 29th
and May 3rd messages on this
subject. The well-being of our
farm people still demands that
we act with good sense on their
pressing problems. notably
wheat. The public will have
every right to register its serious
protest should the Congress ad-
journ without responsible ac-
ton in this area.
The recent history of this
problem has been deadlock. The
Congress has refused to accept
my recommendations and in
sisted upon unrealistic pro-
grams which, of course, have
rejected.
Last January I made one
further attempt to resolve this
issue. l urged Congress simply
to work its will, provided only
that the end result fitted within
broad guidelines assuring a
truly beneficial result for the
farmer and the Nation. My
own preferred program. lead
ing to greater freedom for the
farmer, is widely known. 1 re-
peat, however, what l have
said many times-if a different
approach is desired, and kept
within the guidelines, 1 will un-
hesitatingly approve it.
Our farmers need construc-
tive action and for years have
been entitled to it. They know.
as does all America, that this
administration has been un-
able substantially to alter the
existing type of wheat program
because of lack of congressional
cooperation. 1t has been a pro-
gram attuned to calamity -
war, depression or drought -
but which in these years of
peace and great productivity
has resulted in staggering sur
pluses which overhang the mar
ket, depress prices, and threat
en- the farmers future.
The Congress should prompt
ly provide the constructive re-
medies for agriculture so long
and so urgently needed.

SURE THING FOR

The Alfalfa Club proudly

four candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President
were chosen from its ranks.
In a letter to members,
Corcoran Thorn, jr., presi-
dent of the club, suggested
that Alfalfa had rugged

Since we have all the
candidates, it is hard to see
how we can lose this year"
Mr.. Thorn said. Nor can
our country lose with such
distinguished and able men
to lead it."

Democratic Senators Ken
nedy and johnson and Re-

Asks Prompt Action
On Full Aid Fund
where.

So much for administrative
actions which I have recently
taken. Congressional actions,
too, are required.
Our national security needs
encompass more than excellence
and strength in our own military
establishment. They include
measures to build Free World
strength everywhere. These
require, and I therefore request,
appropriations of the full
amount authorized by the Con-
gress for the mutual security
program. At this point in the
legislative process. these appro-
priationS have been cut by well
over a half billion dollars. The
Nations security and our ines
capable interest in a stable
world require that these
amounts be restored.
In addition, request a 500
million increase in the authori-
cation and appropriation for the
mutual security contingency
fund. This increase is needed to
keep America poised for sudden
developments such as those in
he Congo where a United States
airlift and other efforts were
needed suddenly and critically.
Happily. in this instance. we
were able to respond in a matter
OF hours. We must maintain
ourselves in a position to give
rapid backing to the efforts of
the United Nations in this
troubled region.
At my direction, two other
matters will be presented to
Congress, their purpose being to
promote free world stability by
stimulating the hopes, morale
and efforts of our friends every
where. These programs are:
First. an authorization in the
magnitude of $500 million to
help our Latin American neigh
bors accelerate their efforts to
strengthen the social and eco
nomic structure of their ma
tlons and improve the status
OF their individual citizens.
This program. which should in
clude further assistance for the
rehabilitation of devastated
Chile, will promote the dyna-
mism and effectiveness of all
our efforts in this hemisphere.
I urgently request enactment
of this authorization prior to
the Economic Conference of the
American Republics, which
convenes at Bogota on Septem-
ber S, so that discussions lead
ing to the development of de-
tailed plans may be initiated
there.
Second, a proposal to be pre-
sented in September before
the General Assembly of the
United Nations. whereby we
and other fortunate nations
can, together, make greater
use of our combined agricul-
tural abundance to help feed
the hungry of the world. The
United Nations provides a null
tilateral forum admirably suited
to initiate consideration of this
effort.
consider it important that
Congress approve a resolution
indorsing such a program be-
fore the United Nations AS
sembly convenes.

Importantly to your forthcom-

need of avoiding further deficit
spending and of making, in
years of prosperity, savings to

In meeting this need I shall

politicians that interest rates
must not be allowed to rise.
This view was shortsighted.
Interest rates would not have
gone higher for any length Of
time but would have grad
ually reduced themselves.
Meanwhile. foreign owned
funds would have remained
inside the United States, and
there wouldn't have been
such q tendency to send gold
out Of the country to earn
the higher interest rates be-
ing paid abroad.
As q consequence Of the in
reference by Congress with
the natural fixing Of interest
rates on q supply-and-de-
mand basis, the business sit
uation inside the United
States was worsened. While
the steel strike caused q re-
cession, q recovery movement
this year was further COM
plicated by the bad effects
on foreign trade markets
caused by the outflow Of gold
from America.
just as Congress commits q
serious error In interfering
with the law Of supply and
demand in the sale of Gov
ernment securities - some
thing that makes extremely
difficult the sound manage
ment or refinancing of the
national debt - so also is
there grave doubt whether
control Of interest rates do
mestically by the Federal Re-
serve can be effective as long
as the Congress Of the United
States usurps Executive func-
tions. The Treasury should
not be deprived Of the f1ex-
ibility needed in handling the
biggest single factor in the
money markets of the world
today - the price that the
United States Government
is compelled to pay for bor-
rowed funds in the open
market.

That struggle has not yet

all over the world. and espe-
cially in the United States
because of the increasing de-
mand for investment funds
to meet the needs Of natural
economic growth, the United
States was confronted by the
simple effects of the law Of
supply and demand. Our
Government. in borrowing
money. cannot be paying
very much less for prime Sc
curities than the non-gov-
ernmental institutions and
businesses in America are
paying for money. There
is a close relationship be-
tween the rates on the two
sets Of borrowings,
Ordinarily the law Of sup
ply and demand fixes the In
terest rates. The United
States Treasury. however.
which has to refinance con-
stantly the enormous public
debt, cannot always wait for
more propitious moments to
float its loans. It must go
into the market and pay the
current rate. The situation
normally tends to iron itself
out as, demand and supply
balance one another. Even
tually. as the demand falls
off, the interest rate drops,
too.
But when the Congress
yields to the demagogic poll

high interest rates." a seri-
Gus blow is struck at the nor
NAL and natural processes Of
