it in twice to Brooks re-

ST. Billion Higher Cost for Next Year
Viewed as Better Spent for Defense

indicated when they started
they we're going to save the
taxpayers $500 million-half-
a-billion dollars-and they
were going to reduce corn by
25 per cent. They put con-
trolls back on corn after they
got them off. though things
were working out very we'll
with controls off. 1t was
moving into consumption in
1860, nine per cent ahead of
1859. And production had
leveled off and actually de-
clined a little. OF course, in
what they've done, they're
simply working against them
selves. They put controls
back. They've tried to take
IS per cent Of the land out,
and then they raised the
supports to induce farmers to
produce more.
Whats happened is that
the farmers have once again
outsmarted the bureaucrats.
They first planted the seed
thicker in the rows of corn;
secondly, they planted the
rows closer together, and
thirdly. they poured on the
fertilizer. So as a result, our
corn yield this year was the
highest in our history and
will probably average six
bushels per acre higher than
ever before,
Frankly, it's going to be
a billion-dol1ar fiasco. It's
going to cost a billion dollars
more rather than save a
half-billion."

vindicated?" this writer
asked.

ROME.-Russia's explosion
of super-bombs is an un-,
precedented act of defiance
of world opinion and a clumsy
terroristic attempt to smooth
the path for the Vests sur
render.
Yet from observations
gathered by this reporter in
travels through Europe. the
impact of this terroristic ef-
fort has been offset some
what by meaningful gestures
of American strength. In ad-
dition to the tank display at
the Berlin border there was
the march into East Berlin
by American military police
with rifles and bayonets at
ready.
And there was the state
ment by Deputy Undersecre-
.tary of Defense Roswell Gill
patric to the effect that even
if the Reds were to fire the
first nuclear blast on the
United States or other parts
of the free world. we would
still possess such a walloping
power that we could destroy
the USSR.
What Mr.. Gilpatric said
was well known to every
senior military officer and
high official on the continent.
But they had all become dis
couraged at our timid re-
sponse to the Kremlin's blus-
terings. We were giving the
impression of being defeatists
and appeaserS.
The facts marshaled by Mr..
Gilpatric also were we'll
known to many American and
foreign newspapermen. Yet
they had not been specified
to their readers because the
highest authorities had asked
that they be withheld.
Reporters were told that at
a time when the most deli
cate negotiations, on which
the future Of the world de-
pended, were taking place,
they must write nothing
which Moscow might construe
as provocative"
The show Of American de-
termination in Berlin and
the blunt factual statements
of Mr.. Gilpatric countered
somewhat RuSsia's increas-
ingly powerful long series of
bomb blasts. The American
actions showed the Europeans
that the power and ability
of the United States to check
mate the Russians exist and
might be brought into play.
OF course, the row between
Albania and the USSR has
contributed to the present
wave Of confidence on the
continent. For it is realized
here that the quarrel is not
between the smallest Cons
-munist state in Balkans and
the mamoth USSR but be-
tween Moscow ana Peiping,
the latter having been the

Small Nations in u. N. Need u. s.

and the appearance of new
nations whose geographical
location is unknown, and
the problem of Red China,
have caused the more restless
Americans to become hostile
to the U. N. There are those
who, if we can't have our
way, would have us get out.
We will be even more sore
ly tried. There will be deci-
sions difficult for the Con-
gress and the public to swal-
low.
But, we should understand
that If one day we do "get
out" the U. N. would con-.
tinue. 1t would provide the
Russians with a front of mo-
rality and mechanism to ar

Agricultural Price Support Fiusco

course. is that the agriculture
problem has been COM
plicated by political pres
sures. The Eisenhower ad-
ministration tried to resist
them, but the Kennedy ad-
ministration has succumbed.
Now a shift in courSe-back
to sound economics-would
seem to be inevitable. Presi-
dent Kennedy. in his state
ment on fiscal policy made
on October 81 to his cabinet
officers, says:
g. The effects of excep-
tionally good weather and
rising farm productivity
have brought higher than
anticipated crops and added
to the cost of price-support
programs in the present
fiscal year. We still have
much to do to achieve
effective adjustments in
agricultural output"
This is a masterpiece Of
understatemeut. For unless
the agriculture problem is
dealt with on the basis of
the laws Of supply and de-
mand. 1t win mean a con-
Stantly increasing subsidy by
the Government and more
and more expense for the
Nation as a whole. The total
cost of the farm program
goes up next year from $5.1
billion to $6.3 billion.
The problems of agricul-
ture are not new. A struggle
has been going on for many
years between the planned
economy" advocates and the
believers in the natural laws
of supply and demand. Back
in the 1920s there was much
talk about orderly market
ing" and a Federal Farm
Board was established. Later
on came actual crop controls.
Device after device has been
tried, but the simple truth
is that if the Government is
going to finance or control
a particular commodity or
industry, it will come to feel
it must be in command of
every element in it.
