» Clinton Davidson This Week m Washington With the political occupying the center of national attention, the kmelieet man in Washington could be Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson He could be compared to the captain of a ship tossed by a storm of controversy, and from which many of the crew have mutinied and eserted. Many of his some four millian passengers 1 are dis contented. The Republican party which plac ed him in command of agriculture did not invite him to give advice in developing a farm program for the 1960 campaign platform. He volun teered no advice. Almost eight years ago Benaon set out bravely to chart a new course for American farmers, with his destination a “free, 1 ‘independent and self-reliant agriculture. He has never wavered from that course. He has sailed in troubled waters. Against a trend of rising national prosperity, farm income has gone steadily and alarmingly downward Non-farm Income, in terms of what wttge.H and salaries will bu}, has in creased since 1962 by almost 20 per cent, but farmers’ purchasing power has declined by one-third NO COMPROMISE Benson, whatever his legion of critics may say of him, has never been accused of compromising his convictions, or of losing faith in Ihe rightness of his policies. When you are right, he has said, you shouldn’t compromise with wrong. It is wrong, he said, for the government to tell farmers how many acres they can plant, or how many bushels they can market, and to fine or imprison those who do not obey. It is wrong, he contends, fp r the government to guarantee farmers prices that encourage excess pro duction that builds surplus stock- plies higher and higher. It is wrong to take money from the Treasury to pay farmers not to «* % mm a«R «f bad In a Report to the A People, on hit *even knd ahr-half years, which he pUns to make I full years, as Secretary of A mod ture Benson dovribed these aa “a period of great and lasting prog rest The groundwork has been laid for the kind of prosperous, expand ing and free agriculture that is so basic to a strong, virile, secure America.’’ ■ -jiiif .•y* •. lit m8m ■4 Bring this plntter of Buttermilk-Pecan Pancakes to the table, and watch them disappear.
