General Ernest O. Thompson, senior member
jailroad Commission, hss ssid that the future
United States is imperilled by the proposal

ice from 274 to 15 per cent He pointed out

which usually invites an attack
by a strong aggressor nation. Pre-
ceding World War II, our coun-
try became weak again. In fact,
there was a strong isolationist
feeling in the country. Just a
few months before Pearl Harbor,
the Selective Service Act was en-
acted by only one vote in the
House of Representatives, com-
posed of 435 members. Many
other votes indicated the strength
of the isolationists, which caused
our country to be weak militarily.
We were attacked by Japan and
Germany because we were weak.
After these horrible experiences,
we should now be determined to
keep our country prepared for
any emergency and never again
become weak and, at the same
I time, invite attack from a strong
' dictator-controlled country.
We hear many speeches in Con-
gress now that sound very much
] like the isolationists’ campaigns
preceding the two World Wars.
BRANNAN FARM PLAN
For many generations, farming
has been a mode of living rather
than an occupation with millions
of farm families. Now that farm-
ing has the support of the Fed-
eral Government in an effort to
permit those who work on the
farm to earn sufficient money to
enjoy a good living along with
their families, monopoly is be-
ginning to rear its ugly head in
the farming business. One and
seven-tenths of the farms now
produce twenty-five per cent of
the farm income. More than a
million farm families, depending
on the farm exclusively for a
living, are earning less than a
thousand dollars per family a
year. The Brannan Plan will en-
courage the operation and owner-
ship of farms by the family-type
farmer.
One provision that is seldom
mentioned in the plan would make
it unlawful for the government to
make payments to any farm-own-
er in excess of $25,000 a year.
This is a large amount, but small
compared to the $567,000 paid to
a Boston banker last year who
happened to own land in Maine
which was used for potato grow-
ing. Under the Brannan Plan if
the farmer elected to produce cot-
ton only, the government would
not protect his prices beyond $25,-
000 a year. The same is true as
to wheat or corn or hogs. How-
ever, the plan is so set up that a
farmer can diversify by produc-
ing several crops, but in the ag-
gregate, the limitation would be
$25,000 for one year.
CONFLICTS OF INTEmcST
The American Farm Bureau
Federation is now experiencing the
same conflict of interest among
its members that business and in-
dustrial groups have been facing
for a long time. Such of their
members, who are in the 1.7'r
class, will naturally be against the
Brannan Plan, but those in the
98.3'r class should be in favor
of the Brannan Plan. I have ob-
served similar organizations in
Congress for more than twenty
years, and I have never known
| yet any group composed of both
the big fellows and the little fel-
lows that was not completely run
and controlled by the big ones.
It is the big fellows who are able
to attend all meetings, even at
distant points, serve on commit-
tees and become powerful in the
group. The little fellow is al-
lowed to make a noise at the local
level, but by the time it reaches
the top at the director’s table sur-
rounded by the big ones, the little
fellow does not have a chance
if his interest is in conflict with
I the big ones.
