Show 4 - THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH ' Weekly News Review- Domestic Dumping Favored , In New Farm Relief Proposal By Joseph W. La Bine Agriculture One feature of the 1938 farm bill calls for U. S. loans on crops affected by falling prices. When crops are sold, loans must be repaid. Due November 1 are repayments on loans covering 48,000,000 bushels of com. But by with com selling on the farm from 33 to 38 cents, and at market for 44 cents, disgusted farmers saw they would be money ahead to. default on loans and give Uncle Sam their com. Thus, overnight, the U. S. government became the worlds largest corn broker. This is but one phase of a Chinese puzzle known as the American farm problem. Since 1933 it has been the personal headache of Iowas Henry A.

But foreign markets are now glutted... American farih surpluses must either be dumped abroad at any price foreign buyers are willing to pay, or be left to rot in U. S. granaries. Most people have favored the latter policy, meanwhile deploring the economic unbalance that allows many U. S. citizens to go hungry despite bountiful crops. The easiest remedy would be to let low prices drive American farmers off the land, but this is socially inhumane, politically unsound and economically foolhardy. When the New Deal started in 1933, AAA was formulated to pay farmers for limiting their acreage. Funds came from processing taxes levied against manufacturers, but ultimately paid by consumers. When the Supreme court ruled processing taxes invalid, a soil conservation program was sent up to pay farmers for retiring their land, ostensibly to give it a rest but actually to limit production. Thirty per cent of customs receipts were set aside to pay for it. Last spring, with surpluses still piling up, congress passed a new farm law, too late to limit production this year, which partially accounted for its failure. Under it the government may (1) control produc-- . tion with consent of a majority of farmers; (2) make payments for re-- 1 tiring land; (3) make additional parity payments as a protection ; against less - than production - cost prices; (4) loan money against 5 crops. If compulsory control is enforced next year as provided wheat and cotton acreages must be reduced one half. Agricultural rebellion would result. Still seeking the answer, Secretary Wallace recently tried export subsidies, which the state depart? meats Undersecretary Francis B. Sayre condemns as the uneconomic giving away of our substance to Though U. S. foreign nations. farmers are being subsidized the difference between export prices and the domestic market price, many observers consider it ridiculous to sell surplus foodstuffs abroad at a loss when several million Americans are going hungry. Consequently next winters congress will be asked to adopt still another at. farm bill, the most tempt yet made to kill two birds with one stone. The birds: farm problem and poor relief. The Wallace plan: surplus farm products would be distributed to U. S. groups instead of being dumped abroad. : Though the federal surplus commodities corporation already distributes potatoes, prunes, milk and other minor products not affected by AAA, the new plan would include beef, pork, wheat, corn and cotton. Broadly, it would follow New York citys method of selling milk to re far-reachi- ng low-inco- . have chronicled what every manufacturer and banker knew was coming: A business upturn. At Detroit, General Motors led the way by placing 35,000 men back at work, meanwhile granting 10 per cent pay boosts to all employees making less than $300 a month. Chrysler was a close second, announcing recall of 34,000 men since August 1. The reason was a double one. October, November and December are normal upturn months, especially in the automobile industry where new models begin coming off assembly lines. The other reason, one that made business hold its tongue in cheek, is that the full force of U. S. pump priming is just beginning to take force. Whether this combined natural - artificial stimulant will keep business going uphill after January 1 is anybodys guess. If it accomplishes nothing else, the upturn has brought a measure of industrial peace. Where a month ago new strike waves were sweeping the nation, sudden calm has now descended as industrys wheels again start turning.

Growing louder, this voice finally reached White House ears, coincidentally bringing comment from Capitalist Bernard Baruch who chairmaned the war industries board in 1917. Emerging from a White House conference, Mr.. Baruch started observers thinking by warning that U. S. defenses were inadequate. Though most Americans regard defense, as successful repulsion of a North American invasion, a broader conception calls for protection of the entire Western hemisphere. Mr. Baruchs defense program includes: (1) immediate construction of a two ocean navy; (2) increased air power; (3) better equipment for 400,000 regular soldiers and the national guard; (4) subsidies to protect U. S. trade interests in South America; (5) industrial and military mobilization law; (6) a special tax to pay for these expenses. Though it lacks official confirmation, President Roosevelt plainly favors the Baruch program. The suggested tax boost comes dangerously near election time, but administration leaders minimize this political hazard because: (1) most Americans regard democracys security as more important than financial security or political partisanship; (2) a speeded-u- p military and naval program, financed by special tax, would decrease relief rolls and possibly create what Germany has been facing, an actual shortage of labor. Thus WPA and PWA costs could be slashed and the budget balanced.. i Pattern 6168 Spend spare moments profitably with your crochet hook and some Taking Pains string and add charm to your When we are young we should home with crocheted accessories to be agreeable; when that match!
