PAYING PEOPLE TO EAT
If Unci? Sam is going to hold soy shelf-clearing sales
cotton and other farm products, the benefits of the cut
should go to the home town folks, thinks Henry A.
, Secretary of Agriculture, He isn’t in favor of ship
the goods on to another country to be put on the bar-
gain counter. It sounds eminently sensible. As a theory
in one jump ahead of the two-price system for which Sena-
tor Arthur H. Vandenberg announced his favor a day or
two ago.
But it involves many a snarl and many a threatened,
between cup and lip in application. Like Mr. Vanden-
the secretary’s plan is a two-price system. But
where the old tariff-protected domestic allotment plan
aimed to maintain a high price in the United States while
aeiling the surplus at whatever the market would pay
abroad, the newest plan of the Department of Agriculture
would undertake to maintain two distinct price levels at
once within the United States. There would be one price
for ordinary consumers and another or lower price for the
anfortunate one-third or more of consumers who, the gov-
ernment decided, were on or barely above the relief level
due for public help in feeding and clothing themselves.
These families presumably would receive cards or
other identification allowing them to buy meat, vege-
milk, fruit or cotton cloth—perhaps from a govero-
Inent store?—at a reduced rate. In fact, it would be a sub-
mdized rate, the government making up the loss out of tax-
ation (and where have we heard that before?) One need
«ot press the analogy between such cards and the Russian
tem»d cards, but it becomes evident that the farther any
