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.
