FARMERS ESCAPE FOERAL ORI Most Other Lines-of éusjfmss to Be Under Govérament n- i fluence if Plans Carry. BY MARK SULLIVAN. As President Roosevelt signed and put in effect the farm relief bill he, with his advisers, bgan completing his draft of the bill for government partnership in control of industry. At the same time there is pending in Congress the measure co-ordinating railroads. The sum of these three will bring under va- Tying degrees of government control substantially every industry in the United States. The largest exception Femaining most nearly free of Govern- went regulation will be agriculture. Clontrary to common assumption, it is not farming that is brought under Gov- ernment control by the farm relief bill; only those farmers need submit to Government regulation who choose to enter into contracts to limit their pro- duction. It is the “processors” of farm crops— the purchasers and manufacturers, spin- ners of cotton, millers of wheat, pack- ers of stock and the like who are re- quired to get licenses from the Federal Government and are subject to having these licenses taken from them without appeal by the Secretary of Agriculture. By the measure for what President Roosevelt calls partnership of the Gov- ernment in control of industry, practi- cally all indutries other than those al- ready covered by the farm relief bill will be brought under somewhat the same type of control, although milder. By the railroad bill, transportation is brought under analogous control. Coincide With Recovery. Discussion of these measures deals mainly with two fields. The first is the effectiveness of these steps to achieve the object intended, which is to over- come depression. As to this there is general assent that these measures, even in anticipation, coupled with other conditions, are coinciding with business recovery. Those who prefer to think the present recovery would have come, anyhow, are few in num- bers and are engaged in profitless dis- cussion of an “if.” ‘The other line of discussion deals with control of industry as an innova- tion in the American conception of gov- ernment and the American social sys- tem. As to this it is to be observed that on nearly all these measures there is a time limit. The railroad bill is limited to one year, with possibility of | Tenewal for an_ addtional year by a presidential proclamation. The bill for control of industry in its present form is limited to two years. Many of the powers conferred on the President by the farm relief bill are limited to one year, with possible renewal for another year. About the farm relief bill as a Whole Mr. Roosevelt has said that he | regards it as an “experiment” and that if it does not succeed he will be the first to recommend repealing it. This limitation of time is important as bearing on the spirit in which the bills are written and on the degree to which these innovations are serigus. Had there been intention to make a permanent change in the American sys- tem the bills would not have been limited in time. As it now stands most | * of the powers conferred on the Presi-| dent will come automatically to an end. If they are to be renewed the renewing must be done by a new Congress reflect- ing whatever are the conditions two | vears or thereabouts from now. There| is vast difference between conferring powers with time limit and without. As to most of these measures, the powers conferred by Congress will come back to them automatically. The inno- | vations will cease automatically. Sees Act as “Primer.” | It is also a fact that in each case a| majority of those who are brought under control welcome the new,status. In each group of industries affected some 70 to 80 per cent welocme what is being done. The new measures convey some government control over industry, but they also confer a valuable privilege in the form of permission to suspend com- | petitive practices. This permission is| essentially a suspension for the time of | the Sherman anti-trust act. | The control given the Government is | very drastic, but also elastic. In exer- cise it can be onerous or easy. Much, therefore, depends on the officials in| charge. George Peek, chosen to admin- ister the farm relief bill, is a business man who does not see this measure as one in the class interest of farmers as against business. The conception rather | #8 that purchasing power put into the hands of farmers will act as a “primer” t the whole economic structure <& b8 eountry uoward.
