W:30 Salute to Smithville (M
-
This nation has an abundance of two strategic defense items--
Armed Forces and Agriculture. The first gets much deserved public
praise while the second is generally misunderstood and harshly
criticized.
Yet. our agricultural abundance Is just as important a defense
reserve as our military might. And the farmer plays just as big
a role in national defense as our fighting men.
We all understand and don’t complain abut the fact that over 50#
of every tax dollar goes into military spending. But a host of people
get Indignant over the 6 cents which goes to promote a healthy farm
economy-- and this 6 cents has performed production and defense
miracles that are the envy of h world.
The confusing cloud of controversy that surrounds the American
farmer tends to obscure the fact that an abundance of foodstuffs is
our greatest asset. Without food, you don’t have anything. You don’t
have the power to wage a sustained war nor power to maintain a
stable peace. And this nation couldn’t possibly be enjoying the
level of prosperity existing today.
Is food a “scandalous surplus’*? When viewed in the same light,
all those guns and planes and military men in the armed forces today
are actually surplus items. They are in the same category as the
wheat, corn and cotton we have stored in our warehouses.
•‘Oh**, some will argue, “There’s a difference! We need the mil-
itary men and equipment to defend us." That’s true. But we also
need that food in production and on reserve as a strategic defense
item. And stockpiling food is a good deal less expensive than main-
taining the army, the navy and the air force.
It is surprising to see how many politicians and business leaders
look on food as a non-strategic item. Yet, it is an admitted fact,
that agricultural failures in Russia are the main cause in the break-
down of the Communist time-table to enslave the world.
So it appears that farmers are continually being “city-slicked"
in regard to telling everybody the difference between surplauses
and strategic reserves. And those who criticize agricultural program
costs are completely unaware of the enormously greater expenses
which the government incurs by subsidizing the post office, the air
lines, the shipping lines, the railroads, and hundreds of other bus-
inesses and industries. Food, after all, is the mightest weapon for
war and peace that we have.
