QAID PRESIDENT DECHANT of Farmers Union,
0 “Thf steep decline of farm panty began dur-
ing the era of Ezra Benson for whom Dr. Butz
served as Assistant Secretary. The departure of
millions of families from rural America swelled
into the greatest mass migration in history. No
Administration has been able to reverse the trend
which was set in those years. Dr. Butz favored a
phase-out of positive supply management long be-
fore the term ‘set-aside' was coined by the Nixon
Administration. He was an exponent of the soil
bank land retirement plan during the Benson years.”
£OR BUTZ TO RESIGN hi* director-hip with
■ the big business organizations 1 -n’t going to
change his heart. He apparently will do anything
to get confirmed by the Senate, but that isn't going
to change his philosophy.
*JE AN WHILE WE HEAR on UBBM, Chicago,
■▼I that the American Farm Bureau Federation
is enthusiastic ab au: Butz' nonnn it ion.
The AFBF president, speaking in Amarillo,
said he is pleased with the app ontment and hopes
he will be confirmed by th Senate.
If ever there has been .1 friend if agriculture,
it is Hubert Humphrey R wa \m HM tint ue fM
heard Humphrey's name mentioned a- a pos-ible
Presidential candidate, and ! • reason was his
sand on agriculture Farmer* felt he was th<-
messiah to deliver them from Kzra Taft Benson.
VOOAY HUMPHREY IS leading th • fight to d-
1 ny Butz confirmation \nd da you kn iw what
the president of the AFBF said '
He said, ‘That t’. S. S >n Hubert Humph y is
leading the early fight again t Butz is one indica-
tion the nomin.e may be a good one .Hum-
phrey's appnach is to try to admim-trate prices
and production from Washington. Humphrey's ap-
proach is political, and th ■ political way 1* differ-
ent from the economic way and what wa condider
the best way. We belici • price and production
should be handled in the market place . ."
It would seem that the family farm r and the
Farm Bureau president are travelling in exactly
opposite directions.
In no other area of \inerican life 1- the line
more definitely drawn between politic :il parti s than
in the farm organization*
Sen. Adlai Stevenson of niirmi* s.iys Butz is not
what the farmers n ed and will no vote for Butz'
confirmation
ANY SOUND ECONOMIST knaws that there is
AA no way un.l r the -un to give th • farmer
his fair share of the economic dollar other than
through government intevv ntion
Bu*'ir»?.-s can demand its fair share. So can
labor. But there is no way whalso ver for the far-
mer to engage in collective bargaining except wi h
the power of the government
Farmers are too indr. idualistk. they are too
divided. There is no way on earth for them to
control supply through their own effort*.
Our farm program- in r cent years haven't
been as effective as they might b ause we had
men in the Departm nt of Vgrii uliure ilk-- Bm-un
and Hardin who didn't beliei • in the programs in
the first place and didn't wan lb- 11 to work,
butz would be the same or worse.
