. 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.
Now to correct an economic

disorder which threatens to drag
the whole country into a depres
sion. 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.

Correspond-

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.

"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. '
