Show WHA T TO EAT WHOS National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart National Frtti Building Washington, Almost before its operation started, the new federal crop law Crop Law appears to be bog-foDown Sing down. From what I around the offices of senators and representatives at the Capitol, there is plenty of rebellion against the law which is supposed to plan agriculture on a scientific basis. Indeed, if one reads some of the let ters, the conclusion is inescapable that Secretary Wallace and his scientific planners are going to have snore trouble than a in administering that Washington. is well g: hear one-arm- ed er It is difficult to provide a clear analysis of the trouble because of the complex character of .the law, the confusion as to what can and can not be done under its provisions, the varying attitude of the farmers who are its beneficiaries or its victims," according to their views. The problem of telling what is wrong is made the more difficult because practical people seem to be unable to get anywhere in their efforts to get the scientific planners to recognize human nature as well as the material forces that must be considered in farming. I have talked with a number of Department of Agriculture peopl; individuals who are supposed to understand the crop control law. They are most convincing; the sketches that they have made leave only the question as to the reaction of human beings. The department propaganda surely is sufficient to smother any criticism. It is formidable. But it, also, leaves that question of human relationships, wind and weather, to be determined. Even in that regard, every now and then Secretary Wallace issues a statement or makes a speech which seems to do away with any possibility of trouble from those influences. In the meantime, however, the cotton growers of the South went into a rebellion about the acreage allotment They succeeded in getting, rather in forcing. Secretary Wallace to obtain congressional action allowing for an increase of 2,000,000 acres of production this year. He went after that legislative action as an emergency, and there was plenty of sentiment in congress because as a matter of cold for fact there is a very large majority in the house and senate who doubt that the new crop control law is going to work. To the request for acreage, therefore, there was only a little objection since additional acreage meant an obvious increase in general production with the chance for .increased return to the farmers who grow the cotton. Only lately, another tidal wave of rebellion developed. It came from the corn farmers. They had received their allotments of acreage and, like the cotton farmers, they found themselves between the upper and nether millstones. Their rebellion surely lent credence to statements in debate when congress was considering the bill that it conferred more power on a federal agency than ever ought to be conferred in a free country, and that there was no possibility of this power being exercised wisely since none knew its scope. The cotton and corn revolt, therefore, would seem to support assertions in the senate that the two chief sponsors of the bill. Senators Pope of Idaho and McGill of Kansas, had no understanding of the measure they were fighting for. At least, the explanations they made never were able to permeate what I am pleased to refer to as my brain. pen-and-i- nk it e The com protestors made their first concentrated move only recently at Macomb, I1L, Farmers and the sum and substance of that Protest meeting seems to be that those farmers have had their bellies full of compulsory crop control. They called it they described it as ruinous and pledged united action against its continuation. Of course, no one in Washington can tell exactly how many farmers are in sympathy with the position taken at the Macomb meeting. There are 566 counties in what is designated as the com area. Whether there is a large majority against the compulsory, dictatorial type of law, or whether there is only a sizable minority can not now be accurately stated. It can be stated as a definite fact, however, that farmers do not spend their money to go several hundred miles for a meeting of protest unless they are being badly damaged. Communists and other radicals would go dashing anywhere to hold a protest meeting, but fanners are not built that way. So the Macomb meeting must be taken seriously. It must be given additional weight as well because it followed on the heels of heated protests from the cotton growers. As to the number of farmers represented in the Macomb meeting; that is to say, the farms and farmers represented by that protest, it might be enlightening to quote here the published statement of Claude AND WHY NEWS THIS D. R. Wickard. Mr. Wickard is a divisional AAA director and one of the really close advisors to Secretary Wallace. Said Mr. Wickard: Complaints have come against the corn allotments as high as 1,100 from one county. Obviously there could not be that many complaints from more than a limited number of counties. But even if there are only half that number of protests from any considerable number of counties, the representatives and senators who voted for that legislation are bound to get plenty of kicks in the pants next November. And the plight of those members of the house and senate appears to be made worse by the statement attributed to the Department of Agriculture by Representative Andresen of Minnesota. Apparently, Mr. Andresen had been getting baskets full of kicks about the acreage allotments and went to the department to find out the facts. He returned to tell his colleagues on the floor of the house: The administration (AAA) will not yield an inch. The allotments have been made according to law and the farmers can take them or leave them. In that statement, it seems to me, there is unbounded arrogance and Mr. Andresen did the country a service when he repeated it to the house of representatives. It is an attitude of the dictator, of the worst sort of regimentation and it bears out the very thing which Senator Borah of Idaho predicted would happen when he opposed the legislation. Senator Borahs blast in the debate was, of course, branded as the criticism of a Republican, and it was his colleague. Senator Pope, the Idaho New Dealer, who was running about the country last year as the chief member of a committee of senators which was drumming up sentiment for the legislation before the extra session of congress called last November. By way of prediction, I think there can be no doubt that the wheat fanners will find themselves shocked, instead of their wheat, when they get their acreage allotments later. They will find that the law is compulsory, not one of free as advertised when the bill was being debated in congress. What is the reason for these conditions? Why is there rebellion among the farm- Why the crg when, accord- Rebellion f ing to Secretary Wallace, was a great majority for application of the crop control provisions? Frankly, I believe there are several factors to be considered as having influenced the passage and subsequent application of the compulsory regimentation. In the first instance, it is quite apparent now that many representatives and senators were subjected to red hot steam from professional farm lobbyists, from Secretary Wallace and his lobbyists and from the minority of farmdts who wanted something, anything, that would cause the government to pay them money. That' belief is predicated upon a knowledge that the vast majority of the farmers are too busy with their own affairs to be active in politics. The legislators thought they were doing what the farmers wanted them to do. In the second place, there surely was much misrepresentation about the legislation. At all times and on all occasions. Secretary Wallace and those who were seeking to put over the legislation vigorously stressed the statement that the provisions of the plan were voluntary. There was to be no compulsion in it; the farmers themselves were to decide; the department here in Washington would do exactly what the farmers wanted. All of which is very well and good, except that the farmers were not informed how much pressure could be exerted to make them volunteer. They either or find they had to volunteer could market none of their product without being penalized. What is the result going to be? Congress soon will be quitting for the year, and there is no liklihood of any amendment that will alter the situation unless something intervenes to keep congress in session far Into the summer months. The only thing to look forward to, then, is the result of the fall elections. If the revolt that is represented by the protests of the cotton and corn farmers is widespread, it will show up iff the votes at election time. Those who fought so hard for it in congress will meet trouble in primaries and in the election as well. To me, however, there is an added significance. These protests reveal a growing sentiment among farmers, a resentment, against having the federal government bureaucrats run the farms from Washington. - 0 Western there Newspaper Union.
