Farmers Ask For
Program Geared To
Growing Economy
Washington (LPAJ—Two miles
apart views of what role the fed
eral government should play in
avoiding booms and busts were
presented Dec. 1 to Sen. Paul
Douglas’ Congressional subcommit
tee studying the question.
A healthy, vigorous and alert
federal government looking out for
the interests of its citizens, will
step in whenever private business
forces fail to keep the economy on
an even keel, Washington repre
sentative Russell Smith of the
Nat’l Farmers’ Union told the
Congressmen.
Speaking for the Nat’l Ass’n of
Manufacturers, William J. Grede,
a Milwaukee manufacturer, and
Harley Lutz, Princeton professor,
called for a $10,00d,tf00,00(f cut in
federal spending to balance the
budget—regardless of the conse
Oquences on the Administration’s
social program.
Questioned by a skeptical Sen.
Douglas (D, Ill.), Grede and Lutz
even called for a balanced budget
in times of depression by means of
increased sales taxes. Douglas
commented that this was a pro
posal for increasing taxes on the
things people must have to live.
He said it would curtail consump
tion and deepen the depression.
Douglas and Lutz agreed on one
thing, however, that tariffs should
be lowered. But, prompted by NAM
officials in the background, Lutz
quickly added that in expressing
this viewpoint he was not speaking
for the NAM. Observers remarked
the NAM was thus backing down
from the only sound proposal it
had made all day.
Speaking for the a e s’
Union, whose economic views have
generally paralleled those of or
ganized labor, its representative
warned that “a drastic decline in
employment and economic activity
will render almost inaunarajde the
question with which this subcom
mittee is dealing.”
Anticipating the NAM’s views
—not a hard job—the Farmers
Union spokesman warned the Con
gressmen “It is not enough simply
to compare present national bud
gets with pre-war national budgets
w and call for economy without ri?
gard to the size of the public debt
and the carrying charges of that
debt, the expansion of national in
come that has occurred in the same
period, and the immense increase
in production upon which that na
tional income is based.”
Recognizing this, “a government
budget in the range of those of the
past several years is almost un
avoidable.” Further, “a drastic re
duction in expenditures probably
would mean a decrease in business
activity which in turn would lead
to lower collections from taxes and
a reduction in revenues below the
point actually desired by Con
gress.” From here, we could effort
lessly move into “a genuine and
serious economic decline.”
Congress “should concern itself
more with ths allocations made to
different types of expenditures
from present budgets, and to the
impact of taxation upon individual
incomes and upon business activity,
rather than to what we believe
would be futile attempts to return
to national budgets far below pre
sent levels,” the Farmers’ Union
urged.
K study of the relative Ability, of
states and the federal government
to regulate and tax “very large
financial concentrations” which
often are nationwide was urged on
—-*the subcommittee. Such a study
should look into the whole field of
federal programs of financial aid
to the states, it Was added.
Washington (LPA)—The feder
al state system of unemployment
insurance must be broadened, and
n a i o n-wide minimum economic
standards must be established, Sec
retary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin

Tobin spoke at the opening ses

delegates from 40 states, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
Alaska. The delegations were com
posed of state labor commissioners
and representatives of CIO, AFL
and independent unions.
The conference also heard an ex
tensive report on organized labor’s
long fight to force disability in
surance through the California leg
islature by Congressman-elect Jack
Shelley of California, president of
the California Federation of Labor.

Denver (LPA)—The 0:1 Work
