MARTIN AP farm Reporter WAH1IINOTON Ul Becrctary of Agriculture Benson la seeking to avoid If at all possible the use of taxpayers' money to buy back markets butter haa lost lo lower priced margarine and other com petitive food producta. But whether he will be able lo do this Is a big question being poncd III farm circles. Working against him Is a threat ol spoil age of big government surpluses. Late In the winter, Benson an nounced with aonve enthusiasm that he would put the government's big stocks of butter on bargain counters. This butter about 300 million pounds of It was a purl of the dairy induatry'a production ItKRALI) AND NEWS. KLAMATH Dilema Over that consumers would not buy, at least not at Ihe prices set under the government's price support program. These prices were about three times Ihe price of marga rine. Weeks, and finally months, went by and the secretary kept post poning hla cut-price program. Then came hla recent announce ment that tho whole thing was olf. Ho aald he had changed his mind because 11 would cost Ihe govern ment loo much lo aril the butter to consumers at reduced prices, and because, In his opinion, such a program would not solve the problem of "too much" butter in the lulure. 8l'HKIly I'KOfjRAM The secretary came to the con iriRi imp i w rw 1 P; a 3:1 K m iJ) o -ti A ; ' i1'; tf J v ' J LIKE ALL' OF THEREALLY FINE THINGS INLIFE 7600,iGASOLINE iIS iWJRTMlWREUBECARSElilTilDJ)ESi MORE KAMA ORKCON Huge U.S. Butter Surplus clusion there waa danger that what might be billed as a "temporary" program for disposal of a current butter surplus might develop Into a permanent subsidy program un der which butter would be sold to consumers below cost. The gov ernment would make up the dif ference to producers. Benson's evident fear waa found ed partly on tho fact that current production Is so far In excess of consumer buying that 11 might take a year lo la months to work the government out of Ihe surplus busi ness. Benson said there was real dan ger that a disposal plan could re sult in the government buying and selling all the butter produced In the United States buying it at the support price of about 57 cents a pound and selling it back to dis tributors to retail It at about 39 cents. , Assuming that a government-subsidized retail price of 34 cents would boost consumption to a point where, after a year or so, It took all of the production and Uie gov ernment surpluses, olllclals would face a difficult Job In withdrawing the subsidy. HUPPOIIT LKVKI.H Once the government halted the cut-price deal, butter prices would have to be raised again to the support levels. That would mean retail prices of 65 cents or higher. Doubtless, a lot of consumers would stop buying butter and re- 1 turn to margarine because of the price difference. Again production of butter would be In excess of demand. The extra butter would move Into government hands again and the government would soon find Itself back where It started. Soon It would have to start a new disposal plan. There was also the possibility and Benson undoubtedly thought of this that consumers and produc ers, having enjoyed the benefits of the subsidized price, would protest against Its being ended. Benson contends the dairy In dustry should make greater efforts ACE MIMEO SERVICE 424 Mala 81. Mimeographing Same Day Service PAGE SSVEN to sell more fluid milk. Should tho government get Into the bualneaa of subsidising butter consumption, there would be little Incentive to sell the surplus as milk Instead of in the form of butter. SCHOOL PROGRAM Bcmmn'a ability to avoid a but ler aubsldy program will rest largely on the auccess of his el Ions lo sell the government aur plus butter abroad and to move It Into such noncommercial domes, tic uses as the school program, public Institutions and relief dis tribution.
