be more amenable, but, believing
that the President already has
shown partiality to labor, they
are not taking too much stock
in the statement in his speech
in which he said, “If you work
for wages you will have to fore
go higher wages for your partic
ular job for the duration of the
war.”
Knowing that labor groups in
congress and in the administra
tion are strongly opposing any
legislation which would put a
ceiling on wages, the farm group

WAfHIIKTON
Washington, D. C., May 11.—
CNWN8)—The new Rooseveltian
economic policy, as outlined in
the President’s speeches to con
gress and to the people last
month, is meeting strong oppo
sition from certain groups in con-
lated that ineffective action on
those two would endanger the
whole plan.
The two points which are caus
ing such wide-spread debate are
the President’s demand for pre
venting farm prices from going
higher than the parity figure and
his request for taxes heavy enough
to drain off war-inflated incomes.
The strong farm bloc in con
gress, which succeeded last year
in preventing ceilings on farm
prices below 110 per cent of
parity (a price which would give
the farmer, in terms of purchas
ing power of non-farm commod
ities, an income of 10 per cent
above tha average for the base
period of 1909-1914) has no in
tention of approving the parity
ceiling now, and the farm bloc
has enough influence in congress
to control the situation.
Senators and congressmen
from the farm areas argue that
the farmer would be doing more
than his share of the sacrificing

The Conservative element in
congress, which might ordinarily
favor both curbs on wages and
on farm prices, is not treating
either too warmly because it is
disturbed over the President’s
failure to mention economies
within the non-war activities of
the government itself. Feeling
that many economies could be
made which would not hurt the
war program, this group is re
lating its demands for such econ
omies to legislation for wage
control, profit control and taxa
