Illinois Leader Asks
Farm Prices Be Put
To Full Parity
Quit Temporizing
With Problem, Head of
Association Demands
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.—President
Earl C. Smith of the Illinois Agri
culture Association in a speech pre
pared for delivery today demanded
that Congress and the Roosevelt
administration "cease temporizing
with the farm problem” and act
to put farm prices up to full parity.
Addressing the association’s 25th
annual convention, Mr. Smith said
that to make fully effective the
primary purpose of the Agricultural
Administration Act, it was “abso
lutely necessary” that “adequate”
appropriations be made available
this year to provide for parity ad
justment payments "sufficient to
bridge completely the gap between
farm market prices and parity.”
In Washington, the House Appro
priations Committee yesterday urged
a 50 per cent reduction in next
vpiir's AcrHrnlt.nrp TTpnartmpnt. sun
ply bill, compared to the current
years’ total.
Mr. Smith, who is vice president
and member of the Executive Com
mittee of the American Farm Bu
reau Federation, said a "full ef
fective permanent solution of the
farm problem is a first essential to
the solution of the unemployment
problem and the balancing of the
national budget.”
Charges Temporizing.
But, he charged, both Democrats
and Republicans in Congress have
been "temporizing with the farm
problem.” Everything yet done by
Congress to solve the farm problem,
he added, was “to appease the farmer
rather than directed fully to the
solution of the agricultural prob
lem.”
The farm leader reiterated de
mands of the federation’s Executive
Committee that Congress appropri
ate $607,000,000 for full parity pay
ments. He contended the multiply
ing effect of this amount would raise
farm net income $2,800,000,000, which
“would so increase farmers’ buying
power as to provide vast market out
lets for industrial goods and millions
of jobs for the unemployed.”
Mr. Smith told the associationI
TO AID RED CROSS—Luise
Rainer, twice winner of the
Motion Picture Academy
Award, will appear in Shaw’s
“Saint Joan”,, at the Belasco
Theater during the week of
February 28 for the benefit of
the* Red Cross. Miss Rainer,
who will be appearing on the
stage for the first time in
America, will be supported by
a cast of Civic Theater
players.
delegates that “leaders of your or
ganization are being told by men in
the most prominent places in the
Nation that farm prices have about
reached three-fourths of parity and
that, therefore, a very substantial
reduction in the appropriation for
parity payments should be made.
Cites Economy Moves.
“While admitting that Federal
laws and expenditures for agricul
ture have been entirely inadequate
to put agriculture in a parity posi
tion with industry and labor, they
defend these requests for economy
in agricultural appropriations be
cause of the need for national de
fense and because of Federal debt is
fast approaching its statutory limi
tation.
"The American farmers will go
all the way in support of every rea
sonable economy and every reason
able need for national defense, but
they will and should resent being
called upon to accept a reduction in
appropriations for the solution of
the farm problem in a sum amount
ing to more than one-half of the
total increased appropriations pro
posed for national defense.”
Hamilton Assails

New Deal Conception
Of Liberalism
G. 0. P. Chief Urges Youth
Of U. S. to Halt 'Ruinous
Roosevelt Experiments'
By the Associated Press.
FULTON. Mo.. Jan. 31.—John D.
M. Hamilton, Republican national
chairman, told a college audience
last night that “much which passes
among us today as liberalism is
merely disguised subversive radical
ism.
Often, he said, it is “a cloak for
the schemes of crafty politicians
who would substitute bureaucracy
for our constitutional form of gov
ernment and economic regimenta
tion for our system of free American
enterprise.”
He appeared on a forum series at
Westminster College. His address
was broadcast over a Nation-wide
hookup.
“There rests today on the shoul
ders of the youth of America the
responsibility of bringing America
back from the ruinous Roosevelt
experiments.”
Raps New Deal Liberalism.
He charged President Roosevelt
and his administration had paid “lip
service to liberalism” and asked, “Is
it liberalism?” to:
"* * * demand that our essential
liberties be handed over to boards
of bureaucrats * * • tax business
enterprise to death and to shut off
the free flow of investment • • •
leave the small businessman so little
profit that when slack periods come
he has no funds to tide him over
* * • use the prestige of the Federal
Government to split organized labor
wide open and embroil it in civil
war?”
“Mr. Roosevelt regards as a liberal
any one generous and liberal with
other people’s money.”
Report Cited.
He said "true liberals today as
always are those who are making
a determined fight against the cen
tralization of government powers in
one man.”
Urging collegians to take an active
interest in political questions, Mr.
Hamilton cited a report of the
"American Youth Commission” say
ing there was more unemployment
among those between the ages of 20
and 24 than in ar\j^ other age group.
“And the only answer the New
Deal has—the only answer it has
ever had in its futile and costly at
tempt to solve the unemployment
problem—is the creation of more
work projects.”

George Demands
Roosevelt Tell
1940 Intentions
Smothers, in Delegote
Race, Pledges Vote
To President
Repeated and increasingly inten
sified requests that President Roose
velt make known his intentions
about this year’s presidential race
were being met with continued
silence, both official and unofficial,
at the White House today.
Coming from within the Demo
cratic party as well as from with
out, the requests for a statement
were augmented yesterday by a
formal declaration from Senator
George, Democrat, of Georgia, that
continued silence on the part of the
Chief Executive “can lead only to
confusion and result in possible in
jury to the chances of Democratic
success in November.”
The Georgian, object of unsuc
cessful New Deal purge efforts In
1938, pointed out that many States
will soon be selecting their presi
dential convention delegates and
that present uncertainties make it
difficult to name groups best fitted
to serve the party’s interests.
Meanwhile Senator Smathers.
Democrat, of New Jersey said today
he had signed an agreement to be
come a candidate as delegate at
large from New Jersey to the Dem
ocratic National Convention and
had pledged his vote to President
Roosevelt.
"Last June 21 I made the predic
tion that New Jersey’s 32 delegates
to the convention would be Roose
velt delegates,” Senator Smathers
said. "The President, if he runs
again, will carry my State with a
majority of at least 300,000 votes.
"I agree with Jim Farley that a
man should put his country befora
his party. The country’s best in
terests demand that Mr. Roosevelt,
the best-equipped man in America,
stay right where he is and help
settle and adjust the chaotic world "
conditions."
