Dear Friends:
Congress has adjourned, and
activity here is slowing down. I
am, of Course, unable to walk
very much; so I don’t have a
chance to take part in as much
discussion as otherwise, but it
seems clear that politically we
are experiencing the “calm be-
fore the storm.”
The Special Session worked
through last Saturday after I
wrote my last letter and finally
passed a rather significant hous-
ing bill. We all know that hous-
ing is hard to get—either to buy
or to rent. We all know that it
costs an unreasonable sum to
build a new house these days.
We would all like to see more
new houses available both for
sale and for rent. Many of us
have overlooked it, but most of
us know that we have been and
are now building new houses at
a record rate and that we are
using all the materials like lum-
ber, plumbing, steel, etc., that
we can get for construction.
Therefore, it seems clear that
without more material we could
not build more houses. There
seems to be no prospect of getting
much more material; therefore,
; disabled veterans. These are cars
j we had already authorized. I
| voted for the bill.
One of the most dangerous
| tendencies of the time is the in-
j clination of so many people to
| blame the farmer for high prices.
I It is true that the price of farm
products is high. It is true that
they have been advanced about
as much percentage wise as any
other prices, but most people
forget how low they were when
they'started going up. Actually
today most farm prices, except
meat, are little, if any, above pari-
ty. At any rate they are going,
it is likely that most of the major
farm crops will soon be selling
Congress did not undertake thelfor less than 90 per Mnt of pari"

The Interparliamentary Union is
probably the oldest of the Inter-
national groups,- and the United
States is represented by about a
dozen members of the House and
Senate. I am the only member
from our part of the country. I
am, therefore, especially hopeful
that it will be possible for me to
make the trip, but I will have to
be guided by the advice of my
doctors.
With best wishes, I am

people advocate. Such a program
could only compete for the limited
supply of material that exists
and such competition could only
result in higher costs; not more
housing. Congress did, however,
provide guarantees in loans,
similar to the FHA program we
have long known, so that there
should be no difficulty in keeping
new construction going just as
strongly as our limited building
supplies will permit. I voted for
the bill.
Before adjournment we also

honestly charge tli^ farmer with
creating high prices when he is
only getting 90 per cent of a
fair minimum price? Would labor
be satisfied with 90 per cent of
a minimum wage with 90 per

these people who are trying to
get farm prices down below a
fair level are about to pull the
whole house down on our heads.
It may sound strange, but there
is real danger of setting off a
deflation with all of its attendant
ills of unemployment and bank-
ruptcy.
I have been named by Senator
Barkley as a Delegate to the In-
terparliamentary Union which
meets in Rome in September. I
am not yet sure that I can attend
but I am hopeful that my doctors
will agree to let me make the
trip as this is a very distinct
honor, and I feel that I should
go even though I realize I could
do little more than attend the
sessions. (So long as no walking
is involved, I do very well.) The
