Plan Leads to Chaos
Washington June 7 Albert Goss master of the National Grange told a senate agriculture subcommittee that if government employs subsidy payments to roll back food prices the nation faces inflation and chaos. He warned subsidies will cause food shortages and urged laws banning government funds for such purposes. He cited indications butter and milk production are falling and a 10 percent rollback could drop output. Senator Bushfield argued subsidies shift tax burden and total about 450 million dollars. Goss warned subsidies invite political control and are hard to end. He urged balancing supply and demand by taxes enforced savings and rationing surplus rather than a vacuum.
