Oppose Determining Os Prices By Law • I I ■ A Secretary Benson Speaks To C. C. U .* ..WASHINGTON UP I—ture secretary Ezra T. Benspn said today there will be "grave circumstances if we accept the! notion that government can permanently determine prices by law.” ; Benson told the U. S. Chamber of Commerce annual meeting “agriculture must be free and dynamic, to reflect changing demand; it i*ust not be a hot house or cjrippled industry." U The country “cannot atfbrd to|j let the ijpstakes and misguided i programs of the past blind us to the objectives of the future,” nor can it afford an agriculture which does not getir itself to price fluctuations, he said. i “Some protection is necessary,” Benson said, “but it .should not be used to pile to drive prices highet than people will pay. “We risk the numbing of agriculture if we insist on high fixed prices.” ' Interior Secretary Douglas Mc-I Kay told the business group "you must be very Jjpareful as businessmen to ask pnly for your fair share of business profits." He assailed statements by “some people” 'that the new administration is "going to give away our “Nobbdy wants to give away the public domain,” he. said, “but we want to see it well managed.’} . He said “conservation or 'resources. does not mean locking them up, it meanst\using ithem wisely." 1 ' j _ McKay said he is "tnore afraid Os big government than o? big business.” As an example, he said there are “too many chiefs” in his department’s Bureau of Indian fairs. . \ . “Until we release Indians from wardship, they never will be good citizens,” he said.
