Subside debate frames farm policy in 1946 food plan
Agriculture official Clinton Anderson outlined a 23 billion pound meat production program at a Denver convention. He urged phased removal of subsidies by June 30, while President Truman pressed to extend subsidies beyond 1946. Bowles favored keeping price supports, arguing subsidy removal would raise food prices, with price guarantees under the Steagall act through 1948 despite reconversion uncertainty.
