Feed Grain Stocks
May Reach Lowest
Level Since 1958
Washington-IUPD- The Agri-
culture department predicts
that feed grain stocks may be
cut next fall to the lowest
level since 1958.
If this forecast is correct, it
will mean a cut of 27 per
cent in feed grain surpluses
in the two years of the gov
ernment's emergency feed
grain acreage reduction pro
gram.
In the fall of 1961, at the
end of the marketing season
in which the 1960 crop was
used, the carryover surplus
amounted to nearly 85 mil
lion tons. This fall, the sur
plus is down to an estimated
73 million tons.
Selling 1962 Crop
During the coming 12
months, farmers and mer
chants will be using and sell
ing the 1962 feed grain crop.
The Agriculture department
estimates that production will
be 10 lo 12 million tons be
low the total demand.
This means more grain will
be pulled out of the surplus
stockpile. By next fall, the
surplus may be down to
about 62 million tons, a two
year cut of 23 million Ions,
or about 27 per cent.
The surplus figure forecast
for next fall is the lowest
since the fall of 1958. At that
time, the stock was 59 mil
lion tons.
The Agriculture depart
ment also said in a feed situ
ation report that feed grain
prices this fall and winter
should be close to the levels
of one year ago.
Chrysler To Cut
Some Model Prices
Detroit - IDPIl - Chrysler
Corp., making the industry's
first announcement on 1963
car prices, said today it will
cut some Chrysler models by
as much as $134.
But other Chrysler and Im
perial models will cost as
much as $128 more because
previously optional equipment
like power windows and buck
et scats have been made
standard for 1963.
Other firms will release
their price lists in the next
few days. There will be no
big across - the - board hike
for the fifth straight year, it
was learned.
Today's announcement,
from C. E. Briggs, Chrysler
Plymouth Division general
manager, dealt only with
Chrysler and Imperial models.
Briggs said the price cuts
are designed to give the divi
sion "an additional competi
tive advantage." In effect, he
added, "we have still held
the price line" on the models
which cost more because op
tions have been factored into
the basic price.

Emancipation Proclamation
By MERTON T. AKERS
UPl correspondent
The whole course of the
civil ar c.,nKea ui. oe-. i, remaincd for Ralph Wal
22, 1862. ' 'do Emerson to pronounce the
President Lincoln signed : benediction:
the EmanciDation Proclama- "Great is the virtue of the
lion that day and the war
that the North had waged for
preservation of the Union
now became also i crusade
for the abolition of slavery.
Few realized it then but the
proclamation blueprinted the
doom of the Confederacy.
The Confederates were
lagged from the day on as
fighting to preserve slavery.
Hopes for intervention by
Great Britain and France to
break the slow strangling
blockade dimmed. The proc
lamation gave the North a
moral issue on which emo
tions could be whipped to a
height impossible on the ab
stract and legalistic question
of whether a state had the
right to secede from the
Union. .
The proclamation was
war measure, pure and sim
ple. Actually President Lincoln's
signature struck no shackle
from any slave anywhere. ,
Key Paragraph
The key paragraph in it
read:
That on the first day of
January in the year of our
Lord eighteen hundred and
sixty-three, all persons held
as slaves within any State,
or designated part of a State,
the people whereof shall then
be in rebellion against the
United States, shall be then,
thenceforward and forever
free: the executive govern
ment of the United States,
including the military and na
val authority thereof, will
recognize and maintain the
freedom of such persons, will
do no act, or acts, to repress
such persons, or any of them.
in any efforts they may make
for their actual freedom."
Slaves in the border states
and in Confederate territory
held by the Union remained
slaves. Slaves held Inside the
Confederate lines also-techni-cally
freed by the proclama
tion - remained in bondage
because the North could not
enforce its orders there.
Secretary of State William
H. Seward summed It up by
saying that it emancipated
slaves where it could not
reach them and left them in
bondage where it could have
set them free.
The proclamation had three
immediate effects:
1. Every advance of Union
armies Into the South after
Jan. 1, 1863, mean that the
slaves in that area were liber
ated, giving every advance
the aspect of a crusade.
2. Word of the proclamation
filtered into the farthest cor
ner of the Confederacy by
word of mouth or by slaves
eavesdropping on their mast
ers' talks. Escapes mounted
until Union commanders
were hard put to feed and
shelter the refugees.
3. The proclamation put
the United States on record
as committed to the abolition
of slavery in the eyes of the
world. In all national honor
there could be no turning
back now.
The effect on British opin
ion was even better than Lin
coln had hoped.
Turning Point
The London Morning Star
aid the proclamation was
'the turning point in the his
tory of the American Com-
monwealth-an act only sec
ond ... to the Declaration
of Independence."
Before there had been a
solid segment of pro-Confederacy
opinion in England, es
pecially among the ruling
classes. Now the British gov
ernment could not have inter
vened in the war even if it
had wished.
Napoleon III of France was
itching to intervene and pick
up some territory In Mexico
and Central America but was
too weak to do so without
Britain.
Some northern reaction to
the proclamation was less fa
vorable than ' Lincoln had
hoped for. Six days after it
was issued Lincoln wrote to
Vice President Hannibal
Hamlin:
". . , It is six days old, and
while commendation in news
papers and by distinguished
individuals is all that a vain
man could wish, the stocks
have declined, and troops
come forward more slowly
than ever. This, looked sober
ly in the face, is not very sat
isfactory." Abolitionists and anti-slavery
men hailed the procla
mation. Horace Greeley, editor of
the New York Tribune,
wrote:
"God bless Abraham Lin
coln."
The Springfield. Mass.. Re
publican, called the turn on
Lincoln's timing.
"The President's action Is
timely - neither too soon nor
too late."
Timing was all-important.
Issuance too soon might have
driven the border mates Into
the Confederacy. Issuance
too late might have permitted
the Radical Republicans to
1
force his hand with congres
sional action.
Benediction Pronounced
I Proclamation," he wrote. "It
works while men are sleep
ing, when the army goes into
winter quarters, when gener
als are treacherous or imbe
cile." Maj. Gen. George B. Mc
Clellan, whose scratch vic
tory at the battle of Antietam
(Sharpsburg) had given Lin
coln the peg to hang his proc
lamation on, wrote lo a mer
chant friend, William H. As
pinwall of New York, asking
what Aspinwall thought
about the proclamation "in
augurating servile war, eman
cipating the slaves, and at
one stroke of a pen changing
our free institutions into a
despotism ..."
Aspinwall, a Democratic
politician as well as a mer
chant, advisd McClcllan to
accept the proclamation "like
a soldier." New York Demo
crats had been looking over
McClcllan as a possible presi
dential candidate in 1864 to
run against Lincoln.
The proclamation posed for
President Jefferson Davis of
the Confederacy an insoluble
question.
The only possible answer
to Lincoln which would nail
down the spreading idea that
the Confederacy was fighting
to maintain slavery, would
have been a counter procla-mation-that
by Jan. 1, 1863
there would be no slaves in
the South to free. Another de
nial, piled on top of the many
would convince no one.

But Davis' hands were tied.
To emancipate the slaves
I would have claimed for the
j Confederate government
what it said it was fighting
against - the right to control
property, reserved to the
states by the theory of state
sovereignty.
Counler Measure
A month after Lincoln's
proclamation Davis called on
Southern governors to pre
pare counter measures such
as extension of the ue of
slaves on defenses and to per
form as many army tasks as
possible short of fighting.
The Confederate Congress
later passed a law that would
have called for execution of
captured white officers of
Negro troops. '
Lincoln promised retalia
tion and nothing ever was
done about it.
Nor did the servile war.
so confidently predicted by
the Confederates, come to
pass. - 1
