Benson Says Price Supports
Don't Stop Drops in Prices
Chicago WV- Secretary of
Agriculture Benson told farm
leaders here Wednesday that
high government price supports
and other "well-meaning laws
did not stop farm prices from
going down."
"I've been told that it's not
mart politics to say this," the
secretary laid in a speech pre
pared for the annual conven
tion of the American Farm Bu
reau Federation.
Benson again expressed hit
doubts about the fixed high-
level farm price supports pro
gram, enforced through plant
ing and marketing controls,
used by Democratic adminis
trations for the past 20 years.
. "Since 1931 they (the Dem
ecrats) have literally thrown
the law book at the farm prob
lem." be aald. "But all this
farm legislstion has not stabil
ized farm income.''
Without spelling out details.
Benson said the new Republi
can administration has "been
working on an over-all pro
gram to help Insure the farm
er a fair share of the national
income."
Because authority for the
present high-level government
price props on basic crops ex
pires this year. Congress must
take action at the coming session.
Many Democrats and even
some farm belt Republican
lawmakers predict Congress
will extend the present farm
price support program.
Benson sa'i the new pro
gram "may not be dramatically
new nor revolutionary. It
will, we hopei root out the bad
points, strengthen the weak
nesses ..."
That could be a prelude to an
appeal for support of some sort
of lower flexible price support
program, under which the lev
el o( government supports
would rise or fall with supplies.
