ST. PETER’S LUTHERAN

CLARK W. THOMPSON
•Ih TiXAS DISTRICT
Dear Neighbor*:
The first reaction to the Presi-
dent’s message concerning agri-
culture was, “Can he possibly
pass any such legislation through
the Congress?’’ It took only a
few minutes of talk among the
Members to come up with the
very emphatic answer, “NO.1
Even Senator Aiken of Vermont,
formerly Chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee and up
to now a supporter of the Ben
son-Eisenhower farm policies
turned thumbs down. He did not
follow the usual custom which
calls for the introduction of Ad-
ministration bills by the senior
Republican on the Committee.
He said he would not put his
name to any measure that puts
the squeeze on the dairy farmer.
One of my principal objections
to the bill is that it would give
the Secretary of Agriculture al-
together too much power to man-
ipulate prices and controls. So
now we will take up the process
which In the past has led to
sound legislation. We will start
hearings and studies of various
proposals, and out of it should
come a law which will enable
the farmer to produce and sell
his crops on a basis of equality
with all of those things which he
has to buy. That brings us back
to fundamentals which, after all,
is a pretty good starting place.
Within the last week Ameri-
can agriculture lost a very fine
and. able champion, August An-
dresen of Minnesota. He was the
senior Republican, and Number
One Republican on the Agricul-
ture Committee. He died without
attaining his lifetime ambition
to be Chairman of that Commit-
tee. He was the great leader of
the dairy industry and we had
expected that he would lead the
fight against Benson’s desire to
lower the prices of dairy pro-
ducts. Who will take Mr. Andre-
sen’s place in the dairy industry
remains to be seen.
The senior Republican on our
Committee is now William Hill
of Colorado, a man of sound
judgment and broad outlook on
all phases of agriculture. Mr.
Hill recognizes the primary nec-
essity for stopping the partisan
and sectional squabbling with
the Committee. He knows, as do
all of the old timers, that unless
the Committee comes before the
Congress in a reasonably united
manner, we have no hope of sell-
ing the Representatives of the
big city districts on any agricul-
tural legislation.
As 1 write this, the folks at
home have not had much time to
study the President’s plan for
agriculture. I am expecting to
hear their views as soon as they
are formed. In the near future I
hope to open hearings of the
Rice Sub-committee to see what
that great industry has in mind
for the immediate and long-range
fixture.
By no means is all of the Pre-
sident’s program bad. He calls
for an extension of Public Law
480 under which so much of our
surplus has moved into foreign
markets. It would seem that the
increased foreign trade ought to
entitle us to a little more acre-
age. Whatever law Is finally
passed. It should provide for or-
derly marketing and easy chan-
nels Into foreign and domestic
4*ade.
The prompt and emphatic
manner in which the Congress
wd first of the bills to stop
up oar national defense ought to
give the country and the world
the needed assurance that we
mean business. It has now been
demonstrated that we will fol-
low the President's leadership in
the field which he knows best—
the Armed Forces. We trust that
like will also show aggressive lea-
dership in heading off the busi-
ness recession and in checking
the spreading unemployment.
Sincerely yours,
Clark W. Thompson
