Washington. A farm relief plan based on a stabilized minimum price for the domestic consumption of 11 "indispensable" food and clothing crops was outlined here by Francis J. Clair, president of the National League for Economic Stabilization. His audience was a group of rep resentatives called together by Rep resentative .Sumners (dem., Tex.), chairman of the unofficial "open forum" on the farm problem, and one senator Sheppard (Tex.). Earl ier, Clair had discussed his plan In formally with Chairman Jones of the house agriculture committee, which recently closed hearings on a domes tic allotment relief plan sponsored by organized farm leaders. The Clair plan would be applied to cotton, wool, flax, wheat, corn, rye, oats, rice, barley, buckwheat and hay. Each year it would have the depart ment of agriculture determine the domestic production as is now done. Would Proclaim Prices. "Then." Clair told the group, "the farm board shall proceed to circu late the percentage which United States consumption bears to total United States production in any one of the commodities included under the plan, and publicly proclaim at the end of each cron year, to the producers of each crop, the national nrorato nercentasre which may be marketed for domestic consumption together with the basic minimum prices for the various basic crops. "The minimum price will have a normal and consistent relation to non-ajrru ultural price indexes and to cost of living indexes as disclosed in our past experience over a period of normal years or perhaps in the prewar relationship of such index numbers. "An Inverted Tariff." "The minimum price principle does not fix prices except to establish an irreducable minimum price on these products, based on average American production costs, below which the agricultural industry cannot survive m its economic reiationsnip to pro tected rates and prices in other in dustries. Under this plan minimum price stabilization is in effect an "invert- d tariff" with the advantage of really giving price protection wheth er or not there is a surplus."
