Roowvett on Monday vetoid a maaa*
ure prohibiting the govemmeht from
marketing its loan stocks of 0,000,000
bales of cbtt^ and nearly 800,000,000
bushels of wheat until authorised by
congreM. )
Fann-minded members had ipushed
the bin through congress Wi^ tiie
design of assuring cotton and wheat
farmers .hiid^er iHrices for their crops
this year. They contended that ^
possibility of release of tiiaae stodn
had a depressing effect on ttMT mar
ket. One of thi» grodp, Senatdr Smith
of South Caroli^ accused Adminis
tration officials of **breaking the^cot^^
ton market” by talking releasing
stocks.
' But Mr, Roosevelt declared that
“in my judgment, this bill is cmxtrary
to soimd governmental policy and tlm
long-time best interests of both farm
ers md consumers.” ^
He went on to say that “in times
such as these no one can fbresee bow
soon these government-owned stocks
may be nef^ed ” and added:
“The goal of the administration’s
agriculture policy has been parity
prices for the farmers, aakd this Has
been accepted by the producers, tire
consumers and the congress as' fair
and reasonable. I do not feel'that
farmers would wish tiiis acceptance
destroyed by action designed to foji^
prices above parity^ through the Ar
bitrary withholding of govemmeftt-
owned stocks front tite nonnal chan
nels of trade and cmbmecce.” i
Parity is the price at Which a farm
commodity has the same purchaaing
power in terms of tilings farmers
buy as it had in the 1009-14 period.
Cotton parity isailgured by the ag
riculture department' now aa about
