Cont.from p. 2
this being a distinct victory for
the big follows via the Farm Bureau.
No protection is given to sharecrop
pers and farm migrants—the landlord
gets the whofeworks and the migrant's
kids may continue to pass out in
California (11 just kicked the buck
et, hunger the cause). The big meat
packers are to get the price support
on wool, not the sheepman;' funny if
they do not go after the goats’
hairs also. It is affirmed that the
whole blooming business will cost
only .^400 million as against &600
million the previous fiscal year,
’/ho knows? It is admitted that it
will be more if the 'genus porcus’'
is taken in also.
Listen to the final Congressional
gem: Only where there is "danger of
loss through deterioration or spoil
age" and no danger of "impairment of
the price support program" can food
stuffs be released from storage.
The Grange-Goss idea of market ex
pansion we 'see is' still out. The
new act is one beautiful Chris'tmas
present to President Kline of.the
Farm Bureau and to the big food
monopolists, it pits consumers
against farmers, it penalizes the
consumer feature of the farmer
against the producer feature of him,
it bloats up the paid propagandist,
via press and radio, so he can blame
farmers and price support for high
retail prices. It is bound to end
in consumer revolt, thus defeat it
self as well as the ignorant Con
gressmen who put' it over. No wondefc
that churchmen end religious liberal
magazines are already up in arms
against food-hoarding by the same
elements that stood for piggie
slaughter in 1935,
Matanuska may esteem itself fortun-1
ate thrt it is 1500 to 2000 miles
distant from the nearest U.3.potato
fields. Family farmers will lose
real price protection, some four
million little farmer tikes may be
on the road out. Only if immediate
vigorous action is taken, may there
come an offset in a limited way,for
Brannon may conclude to support any
farm commodity, not otherwise named
in the act.at 75 to 90>o. V’ashington
apple, pear, apricot, as well as
peach growers will press for help if
crops again get out of hand. The
consumer will probably again get a
kick in his ignorant and laz3r jeans.
He deserves it—he does not organize
ho just burns up•gas on the highways
plays basketball, baseball, may be
even football, 6 ires, he also skis.
In the meantime only two Congressmer
are in jail for a little while,Hay
and Thomas. Bet a five cent stogie,
