Straight Talk
(By TOM ANDERSON in Farm
and Ranch Magazine)
What a wonderful thing it’d be
for the nation if every citizen
.could get to “know” Washington.
Like the lady said about Tom
Dewey, “You have to really know
him to dislike him.” I have re-
<cently had the nauseating privil
ege of again visiting the Con
gress, some members of the House
Agriculture Committee, a senator,
and assorted bureaucrats. Last
month’s tape-recorded interview
•"Direct Payment Idea Dead?
Don’t You Believe It,” was one
reason for the visit. First call was
on Georgia’s first-termer, Her
man Talmadge. I opened the con
versation diplomatically with,
"Senator, I’m surprised and dis-
appointed in you. I have looked
on you as a leading advocate of
States Rights, Constitutional gov
ernment, conservatism—why are
you sponsoring this disguised
'Brannon Plan’ of yours?” •
In his Claghorn voice he boom
ed, “Tom, I read your, editorials.
You and I agree on practically
everything. There is just one big
difference in us; I’m a realist and
you’re an idealist. It took me just
18 months to find I couldn’t beat
’em, so I had to join ’em. No use
in being a Don Quixote. You know
he never got anywhere fighting
windmills.”
“In other words, you’re going to
sit here and see the country slip
headlong into Socialism and not
do anything about it? You’re just
going to relax and enjoy it and
get re-elected?”
Complete Socialism in 25 Years
“Tom, people I talk with here
believe that the United States will
be 100% Socialistic in 10 to 25
years. It« can’t be stopped.”
I answered a bit sadly: “Yeah,
Khrushchev says that same thing,
and that they'll bury us. What
better way to die, now or 25 years
from now, than fighting for free
dom?”
The next interview was with
Congressman “Took” Gathings of
Arkansas, fair-haired boy of the
E&st-Arkansas planter set. Mr.
Gathings blew his top at some
questions I asked, and said he
wished he hadn’t granted the in
terview. So do I.
More talkative and miltownish
was Mississippi’s Congressman
Jamie Whitten,, who seems to
share Senator Talmadge’s feel
ings. Whitten said, “I’ve been
fighting this thing (Socialism) 12
years. It’s hopeless.” Congress
man Whitten’s “answer” to the
farm problem is to let the middle
man—the processor and seller—
pay the price supports instead of
the government. Whitten contends
the midleman makes too much
and could pay the farmer higher
prices without increasing retail
prices of food and fiber. He be
lieves that “buyer resistance”
would prevent further price in-|
creases. I predicted that we’d
both live to see a 50 cent loaf of
bread. It’s hard to “resist” neces
sities. Whitten asked, “Why jump
on agriculture? Everybody is sub
sidized.” He suggested .that Sec.
Benson should be rotated among
departments of the government.
Benson reminds him of the de
pression-time custom of the North
Mississippi farm community in
which he grew up. Times were so
tough the community was unable
to afford a preacher. “In view of
the ability of some of our visiting
preachers to eat, frequently dur
ing revivals different families in
the community would keep the
visiting preachers for a day and
night, after which some other
family would take up this ex
pense. The President should pass
Mr. Benson around. Unless the La
bor or Commerce or some other
Department gets Elder Benson for
a time, he is going to eat the
farmers out of house and home,”
according to the Mississippi Demo
crat.
I agree with Congressman
Whitten—I’d like to see Benson
passed around. I’d like to see him
President.
Next statesman I rallied ’round
the flag with was Congressman
Harold Cooley of North Carolina,
Chairman of the House Agricul
tural Committee, a 12-cent poli
tician. (He was a two-bit politi
cian when we had a 100-cent dol
lar). Chairman Cooley’s heart
bleeds so profusely for North
Carolina farmers that he has to
get periodic transfusions from the
union labor leaders he plays foot
sie with. (Swap-out support for
$1.25 minimum wage in return for
90% parity.) Cooley pontificated,
“The Brannan Plan was just too
complicated, tried to cover too
many commodities . . . Anybody
who believes agriculture can ever
be free from controls and subsi
dies is stupid. If we had the kind
of farm program you favor, I’d
sell my farm tomorrow.”
“Why don’t you?” I answered.
“Why should the taxpayers have
to pay you twice?”
“But what about those poor peo
ple Congressman Cooley gives em
ployment to on his farm?” butted
in one of the Congressman’s sec
retaries.
“If land prices,” I replied,
“hadn’t been forced up by absen
tee, tax-reduction, inflation-hedg
ing, soil-banking business and
professional men, maybe those
poor people the Congressman
hires could afford to own their
own farms.” Thus the interview
with the advocate of uncomplicat
ed socialistic programs ended.
Next thrill was seeing Texas’
Congressman Bob Poague.» Noth
ing of any value came out of fenc
ing with this particular windmill,
who uses economic laws and sta
tistics likek a drunk uses a lamp-
post: for support instead of il
lumination.

To fulfill God’s Design to go
preach, teach and baptize, Mrs. J.
B. Moose, National President who
spoke Sunday afternoon quoted
Martin Luther, “Every Christian
needs two conversions—one of his
heart and one of his pocket book.”
Dr. M. Clara Sullivan, mission
ary to Malaya, who has been in
mission work in China and Ma
laya for the past 29 years, gave
an inspiring address Monday night
illustrated with color slides. She
was dressed in the native dress of
an inhabitant of Malaya.
In a panel conference during
the convention on “Youth Builds
by God’s Design,” Miss Marie
Warncke, Director of Nursing at
Greenville General Hospital, said
Youth must have a blue print and
it must be provided by the Church.
Miss Barbara Frick, also of
Greenville, a member of the panel,
presented the plan of youth cara-
vaning whereby teams of Luther
Leaguers serve as trouble-shoot
ers and moral builders throughout
the ULCA. She suggested that
women’s groups promote the pro
ject through financial aid to in
dividual caravaners.
Miss Edna Paysinger, student
nurse at Greenville General Hos
pital, presented types of summer
work offered by the church for
college age youths.
There were a total of 535 dele
gates attending the convention
just closed.
Among those elected as dele
gates to the Triennial convention
in Toronto, Canada, September
26-30, were Mrs. Ben Clark, Pros
perity; Mrs. Murray Counts, Lit
tle Mountain; Mrs. Fred Hayes,
Newberry, and Mrs. Carl Shealy
of Little Mountain.
else’s—will waste more billions of
dollars, produce more surpluses,
more socialism. Under the present
foreign dumping program, as sur
plus does down, price support go
up, thus rebuilding surpluses.
Price supports and controls
have dried up markets, caused ov
erproduction and surpluses and
lowered farm income by $2 billion
a year, says USD A economists.
Dr. Herrell De Graff, noted Cor
nell Agricultural Economist, says:
“Over the past 35 years, during
which so-called surpluses have
been almost chronic, a modest 2%
increase in livestock could have
eaten up all of the surpluses. This
would have happened had agri
culture been free.”
Government control will work
only in Heaven where they don’t
need it or in hell where they al
ready have it. Let’s get the gov
ernment out! Let’s set the farm
er free!
