NYSSA GATE CITYJOURNAL’S PROGRAM -------- < — — Co-operative Marketing Association for Malheur Farmers A Properly Equipped Trailer Camp A City Park A Comprehensive Street Improvement Plan L E T ’S H AV E A L L OF TH E STO RY ERSONS in governmental and political jobs these days take a keen delight in rapping persons in private industry for telling only half o f the story or being “ touchy” about pressure groups. About two weeks ago some three hundred farmers gathered in Nyssa to hear two govern ment men discuss some of the problems facing the American (continental) farmer. Mr. Oviatt of the sugar section was particu larly “ touchy” about our beet growers sending telegrams to the Department of Agriculture. W e wonder why the sending of telegrams was men tioned. Mr. Oviatt told the farmers that the de partment wanted to know what the farmer wanted— yet advises them to stop sending tele grams. O f course what he referred to was the quota that was to have been placed on the acres for the Nyssa factory for the 1939 crop. Sure this constituted a pressure group— how else could our local fanner get his wants across to those in Washington? If the Department of Agriculture is working for the interest of the continental American farmer it should welcome A N Y means of com munication. And our bet is that if those in Wash ington will read more of these telegrams it will gradually dawn on them that our fanners are .not all together a bunch of yokels— that they can reason things out that will be of benefit to them. Mr. Oviatt also informed the growers pres ent that no one had a right to ask for quotas (sugar) that would affect the trade agreement with Cuba. W ell— well— we wonder if Mr. Ovi att read John K elly’s column last week wherein one reads that of the purchases being made by Cuba in the United States, NOT ONE RED CENT IS BOUGHT FROM A N Y S TA TE W EST OF THE M ISSISSIPPI R IV E R ! Yet our Ameri can fanner has no right to' ask for quotas that would affect the trade agreement with Cuba! Mr. Dodd came to the defense of this trade agreement idea, giving those present some fig ures (taken from the bottom o f the “ depression” to the top years— 1933 and 1938) on what, in dollars and cents, Cuba buys from the United States. In 1938, according to his figures, Cuba bought $88,847,000 worth of goods from the United States, 46 per cent of which was agri cultural products. What Mr. Dodd DID NO T tell those farmers was that while Cuba was buying from the United States, she was also selling to the United States $148,000,000 worth o f goods. And it is reasonable to assume that most, if not all, of this sum was agricultural products, inas much as Cuba has little if any industrial mer chandise to sell. The general impression given out, in private, is that it is up to the United States to continue this trade balance in favor of Cuba so that the Cuban government can remain in a stabilized condition. We agree to this philosophy in part, but not when it comes to selling the American (continental) farmer down the river! And as to our “ obligation” to our island pos sessions— that’s fine— but when those farmers in our possessions begin to compete with our continental fanner, then those islanders should be required to live up to the labor requirements o f our continental farmer, regardless of their present standards. Mr. Dodd also mentioned that the products sold to Cuba represented 770,000 acres o f pro duction, but what he failed to enlighten his audience on was, that those acres represented wheat acres— one o f the lowest, if not low est money producer in the United States.
