Economic Standing to Fanners
of the Nation.
CHICAGO. Dec. 1G (UP) The Am
erican Farm Bureau Federation was
pledged today in support of a na
tional farm policy, designed to re
store the economic standing of
American farmers and "guaranteed"
to provide price stability and sur
plus crop control.
Such a program, the keynote of
resolutions adopted at the closing
session of the federation's annual con
vention, will effect a "fair balance
between agriculture, industry and
labor," President Edward A. O'Neal
said.
Of 21 resolutions adopted, the main
recommendations included:
1. Restoration of a high degree of
soil fertility through soil conser
vation. 2. Agricultural tariffs to protect
the domestic markets from Imports
that force American markets below
parity levels.
3. Reduction of industrial tariffs
to equalize the price levels of indus
trial and agricultural commodities.
4. Development of new outlets for
American-grown farm products.
5. State and federal marketing
agreements and orders to stabilize the
price level of any agricultural com
jnodity. 6. Withholding of crop surpluses
from market channels under a sys
tem of federal loans based upon ware
house or trust receipts.
The delegates, representing 408,
000 farm families in 39 states, re
elected O'Neal, a Chicagoan, as presi
dent. Earl C. Smith, Detroit, 111., presi
dent of the Illinois Agricultural as
sociation, was re-elected vice presi
dent. Harry II. Nuttle. Denton, Md.;
Ransom Aldrich, Michigan City
Miss.; Hassil Schenck, Lebanon
Ind.; and George Oglivie, Lee, Nev.,
were elected to the board of direc
tors. The convention resolutions offered
no comment on the pending house
farm bill which had been described
by President O'Neal and other officers
as a "tragedy for agriculture." The
delegates only statement on farm
legislation was to "endorse the pro
visions of the,. A. A. A.. o 1937 as pre
sented to the house and senate com
mittees on agriculture."
A resolution blamed federal laws,
tariffs, and labor and business
monopolies for the "maladjustment
among agriculture, industry, and
labor."
Additional resolutions referred to:
Agricultural appropriations Fa
voring adequate appropriation for
making effective agricultural legis
lation. Transportation opposition to in
creased freight rates.
Relief Recommended returning
relief responsibility to the states, de
daring there is no further need for
gigantic federal relief expenditures
Labor Announced opposition tc
shorter working hours and higher
wages for labor until farm prices are
restored to a "parity" relationship.
The convention announced that or
ganized agriculture no longer will
request support of the federal gov
ernment, if business and labor will
permit restoration of free competition.

ing that the present shortage is driv
