Senators Bankhead and Smith urged a general strike by farmers as a possible path to larger defense spending for agriculture after Wickard refused higher loan prices for cotton wheat corn and tobacco. They noted surpluses despite cooperatives and said farmers followed administration guidance yet face market mercy. Wickard defended strong farm income and price support while a survey on England's needs proceeds amid shipping limits.
