Benson in the spotlight over farm crisis and drought
As droughts and dust storms devastate farmers, Secretary of Agriculture Benson faces sharp criticism for late action and delayed price support. Critics say he should have used funds to buy cattle months ago, though a belated plan to purchase 750000 head for school lunch programs is now underway. The protests in Washington frame his tenure as a political head roll in a grim, ironic moment for Democratic farm policy.

George Sokolski notes Chinese and Korean POWs mirrored historic resistance to oppression. He recalls 1919 Beijing and Shanghai student strikes, factory and merchant boycotts, and a nationwide shutdown proving the people’s power when government erred.
