The article presents the criticism of farm plans before the U.S. Congress and suggests that the present combination of high food prices and expensively financed surpluses points to a need for recasting agricultural policy. The author has been expressing misgivings about federal farm policy for many years. The author does not oppose government assistance to farmers. Their interests cannot be neglected by any deal, fair, new, or square, which has as its objective a high level of stable prosperity for the whole country. By economic planning and appropriate fiscal and monetary policies the U.S. government can maintain effective purchasing power at a level corresponding to national productive capacity.
