TIIE FARM PROGRAM—
It Is in te restin g to observe th a t m ost of
the opposition which h as been displayed to
the flexible price support farm program
outlined last week by P resid en t E isenhow er
has come from m em bers of onngiess ra th e r
than from the grass root^.of, th e nation.
Some of those sen ato rs and rep re sen ta tiv e s
who have expressed opposition a re of the
president’s own party, m ostly from th e mid-
w estern agricultural states. H ow ever, not
all congressm en from th a t a re a a re in op­
position.
On the o th er hand, th e p resid en t's farm
program , as a whole, h a s been favorably
and enthusiastically received by m any farm
leaders, leading farm o rg an izatio n s and ec­
onom ists. New spapers, generally, have h ail­
ed it as being basically sound in principle
and the only one so fa r advanced since farm
price supports becam e a political issue
which show s any prom ise of being w ork­
able under all types of conditions.
F arm ers them selves have contributed
much to the study and th in k in g th a t have
gone into developm ent of P resident E isen ­
how er’s farm program . They have faced
the situation realistically and recognized
the fact th a t rigid price supports a re not
sound, th a t they have not solved th e prob­
lem of m ain tain in g an econom ically healthy
agriculture and, on the o th er hand have e n ­
couraged oveT-production at tim es when
production actually should have been re­
duced, as was the case w ith potatoes.
About the only weak spot th at has shown
up in the p resident’s recom m endations to
date are those concerning wool. H ere his
program sm acks too m uch of th e type of
support urged by a form er secretary of ag­
riculture, B rannan. T h at section needs
fu rth e r study before congressional action is
taken. In fact, the e n tire program will re ­
quire much study in ord er to establish the
m echanics of carrying it out and o th e r de­
ta i’s which the president rightfully left to
congress to determ ine.
Farm area congressm en will do well to
m ake a cu rren t sounding of g rass roots
opinion in th eir own d istric ts before going
out on a limb in opposition to the p resi­
d e n t's farm program . We have an idea
m any of them will find concurrence with
the president on the part of the farm ers be­
cause they are convinced that it excels any
previous program in fairn ess to producers,
consum ers and taxpayers, in basic sound­
ness of principle and in its w orkability u n ­
der varying conditions.
dicate realization by one group of our c iti­
zens of the great gains th a t have accrued
to them toward the equalities of citizenship
g u aranteed to them under our co n stitution
but in the past frequently denied by local
feeling or local laws. Hopes of m en around
the world for achievem ent of hum an free­
dom will be buoyed by the sta te m e n t of T us­
kegee Institute, and the g reat m ass of world
population will increase its faith , hope and
friendliness for this nation as a re s u lt'o f it.
BUDGET BALANCING —
T here has been considerable com m ent in
the last few weeks to the effect th a t the E is­
enhow er ad m in istratio n m ay be able to
balance the federal c a s h budget even
though it finds it im possible to bring the
over-all budget into balance th is year. Some
w riters have indicated th a t the a d m in is tra ­
tion would attem pt to delude the public in ­
to th in k in g th a t the federal budget has been
brought into balance when, in fact only the
cash budget may be balanced.
it was gratifying, therefore, to h ear P re si­
dent E isenhow er frankly sta te th a t th ere
ap p ears to be no possibility of balancing
the federal budget during th e com ing fiscal
year. The statem ent definitely dem o n strates
th e desire of this a d m in istratio n to keep
the public fully and correctly inform ed not
only upon th e state of our n atio n al affa irs
but also upon the accom plishm ents of the
ad m in istratio n . It definitely estab lish es the
fact th a t Ike will not to lerate any deviation
from the facts, w hether they be p leasan t or
not, for the purpose of political gain.
T here is a vast difference betw een b alanc­
ing the cash budget and the reg u la r bud­
get of our federal governm ent. In the cash
budget, all item s of cash received, including
those special taxes paid for social security
purposes, a re listed as incom e and when
placed beside the actual cash expended
m ight often show a balance or even a su r­
plus.
However, incom e from those special ta x ­
es and som e o th e r sources is incom e dedi­
cated for future use and not for c u rre n t ex­
penditures and thus cannot properly be in ­
cluded for purposes of reg u la r budget b al­
ancing. To do so would be virtu ally the sam e
as if a bank would tak e funds from an es­
crow account and use them to pay its own
expenses and thus balance its own budget.
T he president has taken a n o th e r great
strid e tow ard re-estab lish in g the confidence
of our people in th e ir federal governm ent
by m aking it clear th rough his statem ent
of budgetary facts, in his sta te of th e union
m essage, th at his a d m in istra tio n will not
indulge in any such political chicanery.
AN EXCELLENT MESSAGE—
T he sta te of the union address given be­
fore C ongress last T hursday is being h e r­
alded across the nation as th e finest and
most clear-cut exposition of the a ffa irs pre­
sented by any president for m any years. The
president met all issues head-on and m ade
it clear th at he has a program to meet each
one of them .
P resident E isenhow er did not attem p t to
confuse e ith e r congress or the nation by of­
fering any single panacea to meet the
problem s of the day or by a tte m p tin g to
present specific program s to meet each of
them as a part of the sta te of th e union
m essage. B ather, he announced th e broad
outlines and objectives of his program and
nam ed specific dates on w hich each of them
would be presented to congress.
It would be im possible to discuss all of
the item s presented by the president in a
single issue of th is colum n but we will a t­
tem pt from tim e to tim e to com m ent on a
num ber of them as they a re being consid­
ered by congress.
One of the notable facts about the m es­
sage w as the m an n er in which it has been
acclaim ed for its m odesty, sincerity and
most of all for the actions it recom m ends
in fulfillm ent of th e cam paign prom ises
m ade by President E isenhow er in advance
of the 1952 election. N ew spapers of Demo­
cratic party leanings in th eir editorial poli­
cies have joined in that acclam ation.
Many of the proposals m ade by P re si­
dent E isenhow er will meet considerable op­
position in congress, but his m essage will
do much to develop stro n g backing for his
program both in congress and from the
people of the nation.
I.1M IIINGN NO I,(INGER ( Rl I I RION—
Tuskegee Institute, fam ed Negro college
in Alabama, has announced an in terestin g
and am azing conclusion in its an nual year-
end report to new spapers of the nation on
race relations. T hat conclusion is that the
num ber of lynchings in the United S tates
no longer can be taken as an index to the
sta tu s of race relations in this country.
The in stitu te has for years sent to news
papers at the close of each year a rep o rt
on die num ber of lynchings in the year
then ending and its own deductions as to
what that num ber indicated In th e way of
im proved racial relatio n s in the nation.
T he report dated D ecem ber 31. 1953, s ta t­
ed th at for the 2nd consecutive year there
w ere no lynchings to report and th a t for
the 5 years of 1949 through 1953 there had
been a to tal of only t> lynchings as com ­
pared to considerably higher figures in
e a rlie r years of the record keeping on
lynchings.
T h e report did. how ever, point Out that
in at least 3 in stan ces during 1953 lynch­
ings had been prevented.

G aroian.
A ll dead and diseased wood, undesirable sucker g ro w th and
