DEMAND rCoetlnued From rag* 1> farm bloc leader, advocated a virtually identical provision a* an amendment to the senate bill. The pending measures substitute 100 percent of parity a* a minimum farm ceiling for minimum standards now under law. one of which is 110 percent of parity. and redefinition of parity would have kept the new celling at a level aliove 100 percent. Instead, the bills provided that “modification shall be made in maximum price* established for any agricultural commodity x x x under regulations to be prescribed by the president In any case in which it appears x x x necessary to Increase produitlon of such commodity for war purposes or In which it is satisfactorily shown that by reason of Increased labor or other costs to the producer xxx the maximum prices so established would result in gross Inequities.** It was a compromise, not satisfactory te the farm bloc, but Bankhead was uncertain whether, in view of Mr. Roosevelt's Insistence that the present basis of parity be retained, any more favorable provision could be written In. "I would rather have the administration formula than nothing." said Bankhead. Steagal Itold reporters: “A» for price administrator Ix-on Henderson, we leave him where we found him with his same cigar and bicycle " What he meant was that the compromise left Henderson In control of farm prices whenever they reached parity.
