WASHINGTON. D. O, Aug. IT.
Corn formerly gay and cocksure new
dealers are not getting their custom
w , wry eight hours
of rest these
Bights, worrying
about the drouth
policy.
The people
outside may not
know it, but that
problem offere
the most serious
political dlfflcul
tlea yet encoun
tered by the new
deal. It might
easily prove to
be a disastrous
Paul MaUon
ahoal on which the whole Roosevel
tlan theory of farm relief could run
aground.
' This does not mean there Is any
zeal danger of famine, rulnoua price
gouging, or disastrously depleted
farm purchasing power. Those things
can and will be amply cared for. The
danger Ilea In the means of taking
tare of them.
Right now, every Insider believes
President Roosevelt will have to Im
pose aome price-fixing restraints to
keep protlteera and speculators from
trying to run away with the show.
As soon as he does, he must reverse
the economlo and political theory on
which the AAA has been running, or
a least throw It out of gear. It waa
popular In the farm belt to pay out
money for cunauea acreage,
as It boosted prices up. It will be de
cidedly unpopular to stop the natural
" price rise and tell the farmers who
have crops that they cannot get any
more than a certain rued price.
This basic difficulty Is further em
phasized by the fact that many farm
ers outside the drouth areas are now
' ependlng their Idle evenings figuring
up what they would have made it
they had planted all their acreage
thla year.
in view of this, there la consider
able private discussion as to whether
the administration can even attempt
an acreage curtailment program next
' year. If the government tried to sign
T the farmera up for It today, you can
well Imagine how far It would get.
The tochnlque of any price-fixing
atep Involves extreme dangers. The
- new dealers have been called prac
tically everything In the world, In
cluding communists and socialists,
but even the most liberal of them are
sincerely against prlce-flxlng of any
kind. The experience of the AAA (In
milk, particularly) and the NRA (In
the codes) proved that you might as
well Invite a hive of bees Into your
bouse as to try to fix prices. It Is
not only well nigh Impossible to ar
rive at a really fair price, but It Is
certainly Impossible to enforce It
after you arrive at It.
The AAAera and the NHAera have
been atung every time they attempt
ed It, and both will lament for Presl-
dent nooscvelt If he Is forced Into It.
To make the political angle even
worse the opposition Is now setting
up a hue and cry that It waa wrong
and unnatural to curtail the bounties
of nature. At least one preacher
emitted a eermon on that subject
which reached the front pages.
' Such things may or may not be
true, but a lot of political hay can be
mowed out of that field.
It explains quite adequately why
the official announcements, state
ments and speeches recently have
been confined to generalities about
stopping profiteering and about guar
anteeing that no one will want for
food. Also. It Is enough to keep a
man up nights.
Der Furore's henchmen have been
sounding us out secretly about get
ting government credits here. Appar
ently, the Oermans believe they can
arrange to get our aurplus govern
ment cotton for a song, and we will
furnish the music, while all we get
Is the words.
Certain foreign trade enthusiasts,
who are not very close to the top
here, have given the Germans unof
flclsl encouragement In response to
their unofficial requests.
Hitler also Is known to be seeking
credits In England, and la supposed
to have met with more encourage
ment there than here.
The publicity men for our foreign
trade enthusiasts will find It hard to
y make German credits popular In this
country now.
There hse been no peace in the

Higher Prices For Staples
Already Evident, Survey
Shows President Eyes
Profiteering Bright Side
Seen By Some Observers.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 18. UP)
President Roosevelt has signed a proc
lamation declaring an emergency and
directing that Important duties be
suspended so farmers In drought rtd
den .areas may obtain enough feed to
keep their livestock from starving.
The proclamation, It was learned
tonight, was signed on August 10
Just after the president made his
transcontinental trip through the
drought belt.
Under the proclamation, treasury
and agricultural officials are working
on regulations specifying what com
modities probsbly hay and oats
may be Imported Into this country
duty free. The regulations also would
name the ports of entry and the
countries from which the commodi
ties could be imported.
As soon as the regulations are
agreed upon, It was said, they will
be made public, along with the text
of the presidential proclamation. The
proclamation does not design the
feedstuffs that may be Imported, but
leave that to the secretary of the
treasury.
The proclamation ordering suspen
sion of the duties uses authority
granted by a little publicised section
of the 1030 tariff act.
KANSAS CITY. Aug. 18 (fl The
drought has come to the city.
The grocer and butcher are posting
higher prices and predicting greater
Increases. Seared farmlsnda of the
west, struck by the worst growing
conditions In weather bureau annals,
offer the reason.
A survey today disclosed the "ma
terially higher" prlcea predicted for
1935 by Secretary Wallace already are
evident in the areas that supply most
of the nation's foodstuffs.
Staff writers of the Associated Press
Interviewed two score distributors,
processors and department store man
agers selected at random In drought
stricken states. Many of the executives
saw a bright side to the drought
Its reduction of aurpuaes. as an ex
ample. Nearly all forecast higher
prlcea In the staples they market.
Even where a blazing eun baa burn
ed away the farmers' profits, aome of
the business men said their sales were
comparing favorably with 1833.
"We don't look for things to go to
pieces as they did In the worst or
the depression," a Cheyenne, Wyo.
distributor commented, at the ssme
time pointing out commodity prices
had firmed.
While the department of agricul
ture has announced "there will be
plenty of food," the executive council
of the American Federation of labor
thla week expressed Itself as "gravely
apprehensive" as to the effect of
drought-influenced prices upon the
urban working man.
President Roosevelt has made It
plsln he sees no reason for a sky
high lncreaas In food prices. He In
tends to halt any profiteering.
"Meat prices, especially for quality
cuts, are bound to go up," Robert M.
Owthwaloe, Topeka. Kane., manager
of a packing company, asserted. O. A
Waldrlss, manager of a similar plant
at Butte. Mont., ssld prices there nsd
been "ruined" by the drought and re
lief donations by the government.
With farmera forced In many cases
to haul water for their dairy herds,
reall milk prlcea have advanced as
much as 3 cents a quart In aome cities
of the drought area. In addition, the
agricultural adjustment administra
tion has Invoked higher milk prices
In many communities to bring better
returns to the producer.
Increased demand or higher prices
for canned goods and cereals was
shown in many states. Iowa's canning
Industry waa reported In a 'deplor
able condition" by Garth Carrier, of
Vinton, canning company president.
Edward Lehman of Wichita, Kas.,
declared ataple vegetables "probably
will ahow an advance of about 33 1-3
per cent when the new crop has been
canned." P. P. Whetstone. Oklahoma
City wholesale dealer, reported a 13
per cent Increase In canned goods
prices. Sam Aaher, Cheyenne, Wyo.,
noted "short deliver" from canneries.
W. K. Brown. Denver, said prlcea had

Huey's Legislature Conveys
Vast Powers Much Talk
But Little Action Citi
zenry Just Looks On.
BATON ROUGE, La., Aug. 18. (AP)
Senator Huey P. Long today as
sumed the complete dictatorship of
Louisiana.
The legislature, which concluded a
five-day special session thla morn
ing, had made him:
Commander of an army.
Controller or elections.
Referee In an Investigation of the
hostile New Orleans government.
Overlord of taxes.
Dispenser of reprieves.
Suppressor of gambling.
Prosecutor of crime and dlsarmer
of enemy police.
. The powers were legally vested In
Governor O. K. Allen, but Senator
Long need only say "frog," and the
governor "bops."
An Important minority did a lot
of talking during the session of
"armed revolution," "bloodshed,"
"anarchy," and of general chaos and
demoralization, but supposedly Irate
farmers failed to arrive with pitch
forks and shotguns "to set things
right."
There was spluttering Invective
and high-sounding and dangerously
worded assaults from opposing polit
ical camps especially that of Mayor
T. Semmes Walmsley, of New Orleans
but everyday citizens Just at back
and looked on curiously.
There waa a lot of excitement in
the leglslsture, what with fist flghta,
slugging of newspaper photographera
and exclusion of the press from pro
ceedings, but none of these halted
the swift approval of 37 bins wnicn
the senator personally shot through
both houses.
ODnonents were successful in doing
only one thing. Invoking a trick rule
with 10 votes which barred senator
Long from coming on the floor of the
house to direct his measures per
sonally. But this made slight Impression on
the Louisiana "Kingflsn," who Issued
his Instruments from outside Just
the same.
Behind the whole thing was the
opposition of Mayor Walmsley to
Long'a attempts to seize ' control of
New Orleans.
On July 80. Long's National
Guardsmen broke Into the city reg
Istratlon ofrice and took control.
They were still there today to "pro
tect" the list of voters.

Control Next Step Gen
eral To Take Vacation
First.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. (AP)
Hugh 8. Johnson will continue at
NRA 'a helm for an Indefinite period
"The president asked me to go
right on." Johnson said today after
a conference with Mr. Roosevelt.
The presidential word was accepted
as a command by the militant ad'
mlnlstrator who for more than a year
has personified the Blue Eagle to
American Industry. Apparently the
White House expression put a halt
to Johnson's own desires for a quick
return to private life.
But If Johnson was disappointed
at the thought of a longer tenure
directing industry, hla smile on leav
ing the White House didn't show it.
He said he was ready to go ahead
and reorganise NRA In a way to "de
personalise." the government's Indus'
trial machinery.
"We are working out a reorgani
sation plan," Johnson said.
But Just now Johnson looks toward
a vacation. He plans to leave next
Wednesday with Mrs. Johnson for a
nearby seaside resort and at Presi
dent Roosevelt's direction take a
rest.
Board control of NRA la the reor
ganisation plan being drafted by
Johnson. He has announced his wil
lingness, and today's White House
meeting afc, ntly confirmed It, to
act ss chairman of the board.
Tbe board he has in mind prob
ably will resemble the war Industries
board on which he once served. Each
of Its nine members were allotted a
certain field of work and specialised
in details of that field. But only
the board as a whole could deter
mine policies.
Some skeptical eyebrows were rais
ed at NRA at the thought of John
son's "de-personalising" his Blue
Eagle organisation through a board
of which he would head.
. A lot of hla co-workers couldn't
quite conceive of Johnson serving as
ths board's chairman without com'
pletely dominating It with his force
ful personality. This probably would
be true If the board were com posed
or experienced NRA personnel.
