“brough the general rise iu prices. The U. 8. chamber of commerce, fn response to President request for business to cut prices, countered that “other groups,” must

share responsibility for the inflationary trend. It accused the gov-

ernment of “discouraging price reductions for farm commodities.”

Cost Will Rise Sune direct spending to keep farm prices up this year (fiscal 1047) was set originally at $89,986,000 but the final cost probably will rise even higher. Original estimates of the cost of supporting potato prices were around $75 million. Agriculture Secretary Clinton P. And-

, erson later revised this figure to

$86 million and some officials now put it as high as $93 million and ‘others at $97 million. Mr. Truman in his new budget asked congress to set aside nearly $161 million to keep up farm prices in the fiscal year starting July 1. _ This would allow over $103 mil-

lion for price supports under the

Steagall amendment which continues through 1948; $15,112,000 for price supports or loans for the basic commodities, cotton, corn, tobacco, peanuts, wheat and rice; and $470,000 for other price supports, including wool. To Continue Program Under the Steagall amendment the government is committed to support most farm commodities at a price not less than 90 per cent

| of parity (29%: per cent for cotton).

Congress has decreed that the program be continued till two years after the war as a reward to farmers for all-out production during hostilities.

Mr. Anderson indicated that the

' budget request for price support

funds may prove to be greatly underestimated when he appeared be-

gram in January. He told the house agriculture committee that “under very favorable economic conditions, with employmerit and production continuing at current levels” the net loss on price supports on livestock and on crops harvested in 1947 and 1948 might run as high as $350 million with . an increase in government stocks and ‘loans up to $500 million. Price Support Commedities

He emphasized that those figures

do not include estimates for losses) = Ge

on any products for which support is “permissive rather than mandatory.” Steagall price support commodfties include hogs, eggs, chickens (with certain exceptions), turkey, milk, butterfat, dry peas of certain varieties, soybeans, peanuts and flaxseed for oii, potatoes, sweet" poives and American-Egyptian cotn. Mr. Anderson told congress at the time that the major immediate problems were not with the basic loan or support commodities but with the Steagall commodities. “And the reason, quite clearly,” he said, “is that the government seems commiteed to support prices |g on some of those commodities at a relatively high and inflexible rate— a rate that acts as an incentive to increase production beyond needs.”
