GILLIAM.® What are the Democrats going to do about farm relief? ‘The answer to this question is inex- tricably interlocked, in the opinion of those close to the Democratic leader- ship with the words “the volun! domestic allotment plan of farm relief.” Mere words to most people—in fact little understood at present by a large number of the Democrats who will come to Washington to deal with the prob- lems of the Nation after President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt assumes the helm of the ship of state—nevertheless those who understand them predict that there will be millions of words written and countless thousands said, both in Congress and in public gatherings be- fore the Democratic farm relief plan is evolved. So closely interwoven with the Demq cratic legislative program is the “farm allotment plan” it when one asks a Democrat these days just what the party that is to assume power March 4 is to do for the harassed farmers, the first answer “Well, there's-the voluntary domestic allotment plan.” To find out just what the plan is, it was necessary to go to L. M. Wilson, | professor of “agricultural economics at | Montana State College, one of the par- ents of the plan as it has evolved after | years of study. It was first proposed by the late Walter J. Spillman, former chief of the office of farm management of the Department of Agricultural, and later modified through studies by John D. Black, professor of agricultural eco- nomics at Harvard, and through sugges- tions by farm leaders in many parts of the country. Prof. Wilson further modified the plan in conferences with leaders in agriculture and other key industries. As is stands today, in the form of leg- islation to be acted upon by Congress, it doyetails perfectly with the six-point agriculture relief program proposed by Gov. Roosevelt in his campaign speech at Topeka, Kapsas., September 14. To Create Balance. “The voluntary domestic allotment plan of farm relief,” said Prof. Wilson, “in its larger aspect, is designed to create a balance between agriculture and national economy. “It is not offered as a_panacea for all the ills of agriculture. It is not a sub- stitute for the re-establishment of our world agricultural markets, but when we face the situation fairly, it will do more toward providing fair prices; in- suring production readjustments and re- establishing farm purchasing power than any other farm relief plan yet pro- posed. “It is designed also to increase the income of the farmers, but not to in- crease their production—it is not to be construed as & form of dumpinng ex- le | Portable surpluses on foreign countries and it is most definitely not designed to create further bureaucracy in govern- ment. x “It is best to illustrate the plan with an analysis of the Democratic relief program as outlined by Gov. Roosevelt, “The first paint in the Roosevelt pro- gram is as follows: ““The plan must provide for the pro- i ducer of staple surplus commodities, such as wheat, cotton, corn (in the form of hogs) and tobacco, a tariff benefit over world prices which is equivalent to the bepefit given by the tariff to indus- trial products. differential benefit 1must be so that the increase in ‘power not stimulate further ing production. Prof, Wilson explains that under the plan he proposes each producer of staple surplus would have the right te receive, in addition to the world {level price, an additional benefit pay- ment on that part of his production produced for domestic sale. He would only receive. this payment, however, if He agreed to adjust' his production’ as | decided upon by the administrative agency, after consulting the wishes of the farmers. Production allotments to each producer would be made after study of domestic consumption and | prospective production. | Gov. Roosevelt's second point “The plan must finance itsel To that Prof. Wilson answers that under the “voluntary farm allotment plan” no new Government appropria- | tion s necessary and there is no ad- | ditional expense to the Treasury. Must Avoid Strife. The third point in the Roosevel program is: “It must not make use of any mech- | anism which would cause European | customers to retaliate on the grounds | of dumping.” Prof. Wilson says no export dump- ing is involved in the plan—that its rnment Inspected Meats MARKETS N.W. w. 26¢ Small Lean Loins Ib.

Prices pald on our markets would keep their usual relation to world markets. The n.n:z;n wgutldm world market price. Gov. Roosevelt's fourth point is: “It must make use of existing cles and so far as possible be decen- tralized in its administration so that the chief responsibility for its opera- tion will rest with the locality rather that with the newly created bureau- cratic machinery #a Washington.” “The voluntary farm aliotment plan does just that,” says Prof. Wilson, “Responsibility for administration of the plan will be placed upon State, county and_township committees, composed of local representatives.” Gov. Roosevelt's fifth point is: “It must operate as nearly as possi- ble on a co-operative basis and fits e hen"the ‘Co-onerative. movement: st en the co-opes : It should, moreover, be so constituted that it can be withdrawn whenever the emergency has passed and foreign markets have been re-established.” Says Prof. Wilson: “The voluntary farm allotment plan puts a premium on co-operation among the farmers. Those who co-operate get the tariff benefits, while those who do not_co-operate do not get the bene- fits. It is not hard to see that if adopted and farmers learn to work to- gether in planning their production, |it will be natural for them to work together in selling their products as Co-operative marketing will thus be stimulated. When world conditions change, and the need for the plan has passed, the operation of the plan could be changed by the farmers them- selves.” In his final point, Gov. Roosevelt says: yThe plan must be, in so far as pos- sible, voluntary.” No Compulsion in Plan. And to this Prof. Wilson answers: here is no compulsion on any in- dividual farmer to join in the plan; those who do not elect tp share in the benefits are free to produce as much as they please.” The greatest difference between the voluntary domestic allotment plan' and other plans proposed for farm relief, Prof. Wilson pointed out, is that this one does provide a definite control of production, to correct the surplus situ- ation by striking at the real heart of the difficulty. In this connection he called attention to the fact that the Farm Board, in its annual report to Congress on Wednesday, stated that the reason for the failure of its huge stabilization operations .was that sta- bilization would not work “in the face of a continuous excess of production above consumption, and continuing de- clines in demand.” The recmmenda- tion of the board to Congress that some legislation_be passed which weould “pro- vide an effective system for regulating acreage or quantities sold, or both,” is in line with the thought that Prof. Wilson has had in working out his proposals. Prof. Wilson emphasized that the tariff charge, under his plan, would be paid at the point of process, or manu- facturer, the charge to be paid on each unit of each specified commodity, wheat, cotton, hogs and tobacco, processed for human consumption, this tariff to be passed on to the consumer or absorbed by the manufacturer. On exportation of a processed article, the charge would be_refunded. With respect to cotton, hogs, and maybe tobacco, acreage probably would not be the basis of allotment for the regulation of production, but instead entracts with producers would limit the quantities to be sold. Further explanation of the plan is contained in a speech of Representa- tive Clifford Hope, delivered in the closing days of the last Congress. He said, taking a wheat farmer for an ex- ample, and using figures which are not accurate, but illustrative: “Take a man whose average acreage for the last five years has been 100 acres, and whose average yield was 20 bushels an acre. His base production would be 2,000 bushels. If the domestic allotment to his county was equal to 60 per cent of the base production for all the farmers of his county, this farmer would then receive an allotment of 1,200 bushels as the amount on which he would receive payment of the tariff independent of the benefits. He would contract with his county committee not his 10 per cent, in a lenerl.l‘r‘:d:cumn upon. iyment of benefits to | decided Available to Berrow. “As soon as the contracts were signed agen- | he could take his copy of it to the bank and borrow up to 90 per cent of its probable value. As soon as his crop ‘v:l:n flfi he v{ould harvest it and sell usual way, receiving payment at the prevalling, price, based on the world market. “Then, at the end of the season, about July, the local committee would certify that he had kept his contract by not planting a larger acreage than specified in the contract and he would then receive a check for full payment of his tariff benefits on the crop—per- haps 40 cents a bushel, or $480 on his 1,200-bushel share of the domestic con- sumption. Then he could pay back the bank's loan with the teni “benents Under the plan, it is explained in the Hope speech, the amount of the benefit payment would be the same, whether the farmer had a crop failure or & bumper crop. If he bad a bad year and produced only 800 bushels on his 100 acres, he still would get the tariff benefits payment on 1,200 bushels. If he had a bumper crop and produced 3,000 bushels, the tariff benefits pay- ment would still be on 1,200 bushels. Payment of immediate cash benefits, however, according to Prof. Wilson, are not the most important feature of the plan to farmers, nor its most important contribution to curing the depressed position of farm prices in relation to prices of other products. He thinks that its most important feature is the means it provides for enabling farmers to deal with their own production on an effective basis to adjust the quanti- ties produced to what the markets will take. The carryover of wheat in the United States, he points out, was more than 360,000,000 bushels at the begin- ning of this seazon, where in ordinary times it is only 100,000,000. The carry- over of cotton in the United States was more than 9,000,000 bales, as com- pared to 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 under ordinary con! , the general outlines for farm relief developed by Prof. have found approval with the can Farm Bureau Federation, with Henry I Harriman, president of the ! Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and ‘many others interested in the restofation of agriculture s & pay- ing industry in this country.
