DEMOCRATIC STATEMENT A 25 per cent drop in net farm income since 1952 makes the ' farm issue a major one in the ' 1956-campaign. The Democratic party has recognized this issue before and during the campaign 'and will continue to admit the need for action after the election It is painfully clear to farm- ers and other residents of the agricultural areas that the Re publican administration weaken ed our farm price support system at a time when the country stood most in need of this protection against a disastrous farm price (lump. For this farm crisis has pro duced serious disturbances in ' other parts of our economy. The nation is paying a heavy price for the Eisenhower administra tion's temporizing with a farm crisis of its own making. President Eisenhower in his 1952 campaign pledged to con- ' tinue the 90 per cent parity price pledge after election.

Democrats realize we must restore the system under which agriculture enjoyed full parity. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, has listed a few steps to be taken in this direc tion: "We must restore the 90 per cent parity price supports on basic commodities. We must have direct pur chases, direct payments to pro d u c e rs, marketing agreements and orders, production adjust ments, or a combination of these as proposed by the Democrats to regain 100 per cent parity. "We must remove the re straints which this administra tion has placed on the rural electrification program, fanners home administration, soil con servation, farm credit programs, agricultural research and other important farm programs which have lagged." The Republican collapsible price support system has now demonstrated its failure. With out benefiting consumers by any lower prices it has added to the so-called surpluses instead of reducing them as claimed. Any housewife in Jackson coun ty knows that prices have not gone down to consumers. Any farm wife in Jackson county knows they have gone down for farmers, that the farmer's pur chasing power has taken a sad nose dive. The country needs an adminis tration that will do more to create new markets for farmers. The Democrats can be trusted to develop our reciprocal trade program. The Republicans cling to ob solete tax, credit and other economic policies which favor special interests but work hard ships on farmers, small business men, working people and con sumers generally. Our farm citizens and all our people need policies which pro mote wider distribution of in- j t-UlUC lull ciiipiuj uitrut. nu mil consumption, policies endorsed before and after elections by Democrats. Russ Intervention in Hungary Apt To React in Eastern Asia REPUBLICAN STATEMENT Working men and women of American are looking at the Republican party platform, con fident that the unprecedented advances which have been made in their behalf during the past 3' 2 years will continue and in crease in the coming. four years under the leadership of Dwight D. . Eisenhower. Today, there are close to 67 million men and women at work in our country, more than ever before. Record high pay checks are buying more for the worker and his family than ever before, and these pay checks are not be ing eaten away by rising taxes and soaring prices. Federal minimum wage has been raised to SI. directly bene fitting more than 2 million work ers. Social security has been ex tended to 10 million more work ers: unemployment insurance to By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent Soviet Russia's murderous in tervention in the Hungarian re bellion is likely to cost it dearly EJKyWftW'l m East Asia. Correspond- mgly, the po sition of Com munist China is likely to be strengthened. Soviet lead ers have been represent i n g themselves as cbario union the enemies of the "Western colonialism" which the newly freed countries of East Asia so bitterly detest. They have spoken out vigor ously in favor of the principle of non-interference in the af fairs of other countries. This propaganda has been conspicuously successful in "neu tralist" countries like India and Indonesia which regard the non interference principle as a basic point in the search for world peace. Of course, such men as Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India and President Sukarno of Indonesia are smart enough to know that Communist rule of the the East European satellite nations has been possible only because of Russia. But Russia has succeeded in putting over the argument that the satellite governments were free and sovereign. . The Soviet troops who fired on unarmed crowds of men, women and children in the streets of Budapest showed the utter falsity and cynicism of this propaganda. Nehru, who led India's long struggle for independence from Britain, and Sukarno, who fought a war against the Nether lands, can hardly fail to realize that, whether they say so or not. In India, Indonesia and. other East Asian countries the Hun garian intervention seems pretty certain to react against the Hungarian intervention seems pretty certain to react against the Soviet regime. A quiet struggle for political and economic penetration is de veloping in East Asia between Russia and Red China. China's influence is likely to be strengthened now at Russia's expense because the Peiping re gime can still represent itself as an enemy of colonialism and a supporter of the non-interference principle. The Western democracies, of course, do not look- at it that way. They point to Red China's intervention in Korea, to its fo menting of the Indochinese war, to its swallowing up of Tibet. The East Asian Belief But to a lot of East Asians, in 1 the instances of Korea and Indo-1 shchev went there was a coinci- h I "LEADERSHIP IN EDUCATION IS A MUST" Oregon'! school ryitem ranks at the best In the nation, Kates Gov. Smith. At Governor I intend to carry out policies that Kill assure ut of maintaining our educa tional lead. Education Is the greatest activity in which the stale engagee as a government and the item on which we spend the most of our tax money. We need at least 730 new classrooms a year, 1100 new teachers a year to meet the problem we face five years from now. We must meet this problem. AS YOUR GOVERNOR Few men could equal the record for effective decision achieved by Gov. Smith in his short time in office. He has set a pace of leadership such as we need most at this time. His reputation for fairness to all and for under standing is known to both parties. an additional 4 million, and the benefits raised for 6V2 million. Futhermore, the great Ameri can process of free collective bargaining has been immeasure ably strengthened by the insis tence of President Eisenhower that labor and management set tle their own differences with o u t government interference. This policy has greatly benefit ed all Americans by bringing to our country an unprecedented period of labor - management peace and understanding. In its 1956 platform, the Re publican party has pledged to continue its fight to improve the lot of the American wage earner by extending the minimum wage to as many more workers as is possible and practicable, by stronger Eight Hour Laws for the benefit of workers on Fed eral contracts, by an overhaul of the Taft-Hartley act, and by leg i s 1 a t i o n guaranteeing every American equal pay for equal work regardless of sex. The Eisenhower administra tion promises to continue its programs, already initiated, to assist the millions of workers with special employment prob lems, the older workers, handi capped workers, members of minority groups and migratory workers. Already the adminis tration has an effective program helping the physically handicap ped, which last year provided a quarter of a million jobs for handicapped workers. The Republican party asks that each voter consider this record of accomplishment and to compare this concrete, pro gressive, and comprehensive platform with the Democratic platform for labor, which, if it were ever put into effect, would cause the most catastrophic in flation this country has ever known, dissolving the savings and real gains of the American people. President Eisenhower al ready has proven that he is not only aware of their problems, but has taken the steps neces sary to improve the status of the working people. ' Pd.

As regards Tibet, China al ways claimed sovereignty over it even in the days of the Man chu emperors. China, culturally and racially, is far closer to East Asia than Russia ever could be. Red China never has been a Soviet satel lite. Its leaders, Mao Tse-Tung and Chou-En Lai, ruling the world's most populous country, undoubtedly feel they are as good as anybody in the Kremlin. It has been reported that Mao sent a friendly message of en couragement to the Poles at the very time that Nikita S. Khrush shev was trying vainly to brow beat them into submission to Moscow.
