PAGE THREE AM LISTS PROFIT OF $64,956,594 WITHIN2 YEARS Organization's Plans Call for Continuance of Crop Control Program to Keep Prices From Slumping By HARKY KEKGIRON (United Presa Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. March 15 (UP) The Agricultural Adjustment Admin istration, which for almost two years has been In the buslnew of trying to persuade farmers not to raise too many pigs or grow too much corn, could close up shop tomorrow with a net profit of 94,9Sfl,394. But It doasn't Intend to do so. In the spring of 1933 conffreaa cre ated the AAA, handed it $100,000,000 and told It to do something to save the nation's farmers 'rom being ground to pieces by debt and by farm prices that were too low to make It worthwhile to plant an acre of corn. Prom that time until Janlary 31, 1935, It wait learned today, the AAA has poured $585,921,943 Into the farm ers pocket. That money represents benefit payments cash handed to farmers who pledged themselves to curtail their crops, kill their surplus pigs and try to raise farm prices by cutting down the surplus that vas glutting the market. That Is the red Ink side of the ledger. On the credit side the AAA has collected $693,878,537 In processing taxes. That comes from a levy tra posed upon the men who take the raw material from farms and convert it Into finished foodstuff redy to put on the table such as millers and packers. That tax, along with other factors such as the drouth, is driv ing food prices up. Roughly speak ing, the AAA is taking money away from the consumer and giving it to the farmer. As the AAA swings into Its third year, officials are heedless of the cries of critics who complain that the organisation i destroying food wr;le the Jobless go hungry and plowing under cotton while the irapoveris.'U'd need clothing. Foes of the organisa tion stilt talk about slaughter of 6. 000.000 pigs in the fall of 1933. Econ omist call the AAA foimula "the economics of scarcity." meaning the artificial bolstering of prices by keep ing foodstuffs off the mafeet. The high AAA oflclal said today the org am ration's plans call for a continuation of the economic of scarcity. "We are going to allow farmers to raise Just enough to feed the coun try, keep an adequate reserve of food on hand In ease of drouth or some other form of disaster nd establish stocks to sell to foreign countries when and If international trade ope a up. Anything beyond that la a sur plus that cannot be sold a d anger jus surplus that would force farm prices down again." The fact that the consumer is pay ing more for bis food Is not a direct concern of the AAA. The original idea back of the recovery program was that NRA would take care of that by hoisting the wage scale. The AAA was charged with Increasing the pur chasing power of the farmer, and has done so. It cannot claim all the credit, however, because tne devalua tion of the dollar contributed con siderably. Many members of congress charge there has been food profiteering a a result of the AA program. Sen Burton K. Wheeler. (D Mont.) has introduced a resolution to Investigate whether there has been profiteering Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wal lace has promised to try to protect the consumer from being gouged. The AAA says its $64,956,594 profit will dlsapear eventually. It merely wants to break even between pay menu and processing taxes.
