T A—4 x» NEW FARM LOANS PLAN IS STUDIED Morgenthau Is Revising Pro- posal to Eliminate Federal Appropriations. (Editor’s Note—The following ex- planation of the practical operation of the Roosevelt farm bill was writ- ten for the Associated Press by W. R. Ronald, chairman of the Commit- tee of Farm Organization Leaders, By the Associated Press. A program neared completion today for completely overhauling the Federal Government’s credit relations with farmers, with one of its goals the elimi- nation of the need in the future of governmental appropriations for loans. ‘The two men who are working out its details, Henry Morgenthau, jr., Farm Board chairman, and Dr. W. 1. Myers Cornell University professor, his assist. ant, have presented its chief features to President Roosevelt. They are in- corporating his suggestions in a re- vised plan. Some parts of the program, particu- larly consolidation of scattered credit agencles, will be carried out by the President in a series of executive orders Instead of seed and crop production loans, for which a total of $90.000.000 is avallable this year, the plan is to make available for farmers both long | who presented the proposal to the | President.

RONALD. { HAT the administration farm H bill means to the farmer is i that the Secretary of Agri- | culture can proceed by any | one of several methods to bring prices of farm products back to | pre-war exchange value. | While that means such prices as 95 cents for wheat, $7.50 for hogs and 12 cents for cotton, it also is true that the | consumer will have constant considel tion in order that these price advances ! will not be made in such a way as | burden the buyer of foodstuffs. While this flexible plan of dealing | with the complex problem of elevating | prices of various commodities in ac- | cordance with their peculiarities ap- pears to contemplate all sorts of meth- and short term credit by enabling exist- | ods, the probability is that the Secre- ing credit agencles to obtain capital 'tary of Agricuiture will proceed for the from the sale of securities in the same most part along one of the three fol- manner &s now used by the Federal lowing lines: Farm Loan Board | First—Marketing agreements with A Govrnment guarantee of bonds to | processors and distributors. be used for the credit plan is being ¢on- | Second—Compensation to farmers sidered on the theory that it would re- | reducing production, such compensation | duce the rate of interest required for to be fnanced by a tax on processing. them and that this would reflect itself | in lowered interest rates to farmers. | help cotton prices by reducing acreage.

Smith Option Plan Contained in Measure. matic restriction of production could be tied in with such an agreement as, for example, by naming a maximum weight of hogs to which the price would apply. DXsyw crops, particularly wheat, the second method of procedure is alto- gether likely. Principles of the original | allotment plan would be employed to apportion returns from a tax on mill- Ilnz. but the division would be called a rental instead of an allotment. Past production would be the basis | upon which the apportionment would be made first to States, then to countles and then to farms. In order to restore full pre-war exchange value to wheat, |a tax of probably 60 cents per bushel | would be collected on all domestic con- | sumption. If a farmer’s share of this domestic consumption is 1,000 bushels, then he would receive $600 as rental for any portion of land diverted from the | production of wheat. It would be ef- | fective in reducing acreage because the | non-participant would receive only the | open_market price and therefore would |not have any inducement to increase his acreage. By some such device as basing any program of acreage reduction on yleld, the percentage of low-yielding margin- | al land retired from production would be greater than that in the more fertile | regions. | As to cotton, it is virtually under- stood that for this year the Smith op- tion plan would be employed. Planters v\'v.mlJl be given options on future de- livery of cotton in consideration of a reduction In screage, the theory being that the resulting increase in price would materially increase thelr total re- turn from their 1933 crop. ‘These are but illustrations of the vi rious ways by which the Secretary | could sdminister this flexible plan. Its great advantage over & pre-determined formula frozen into legislation is that the Secretary could work out all de- tails by means of regulations. Thus the application could be specifically adapted to each of the various farm products. If any provision is found to be unsatis- factory it can be changed. As one member of Congress put it: | “If the administration cannot make | the plan work with such a wide lati- | tude of operation it cannot have any alibi.” |HOUSE VOTES BEER BILL, BUT SENATE DELAYS SIGNATURE (Continued From First Page.)
