Mallon (Copyright. 1935, by Paul Mallon.) WASHINGTON. Oct. 39. The day before the -farm era voted to continue the corn-hog program for another -t-t'-tb; year, President Roosevelt was able to announce that It would be permanent. Ha announced that the AAA program would be simpli fied and oerfect- ; tlfe ed for an lndef- itJ inite period. V No direct men jpjv I tlcm waa niade of the corn-hog anmifliWffiA Ifcmaasl n r o tz r a m. of PALL AIALLON course. The pres ident himself said his announcement had no connection whatever with the vote to be held 24 hours later. Hie assurance to the farmers bad been In the process of formation for a long time and It Just happened to be given out by him the night before the farmers' went to the polls. You know how those things are. State ments axe always coming out at the right time, although, of course, they are never planned that way. It waa Just . fate, that' all; a hand-made happy fate. The AAA administrator. Mr. Davis, whose lack of political acumen is ad vertised far and wide, has verified this interpretation. His statement haa all auper-eusptclou observers heTe -were ooncerneo. iney wouia in wmiiw w J aUM-. IntM mnnrtj from the weather bureau or the supreme court Itself, hut never, into one prrpiu The result, therefore, can only he another high tribute to the daring foresight of the AAA boya. They may have had a little Inkling as to how the vote would oome out, Inasmucn as they campaigned for it, conducted It and counted It. But even so. you will have to nana inem eomw,i. . i. Ani l.iiffh. for preparing and getting the. president to Issue such a oonrident -pre-eiecuuu nouncement on the eve of the ballot- iui. m,.i.i inside tale about the Innocent consipmcles of fate might nnld together better If It were not for one point. There w no need for the AAA crowd to dash over to the White House with a pre-election statement for the president's signa ture If they were going to win by uch a big margin. You might be able to Ret the real Inside story if you could look Into tbe confidential reports received by AAA headquarters from out In the farm fields prior to the voting.
