Benson Declares Farm Policy Proved Wrong
Colorado Springs, Jan 13. Secretary Ezra Benson asserts the current farm program has had every chance to work but fails to solve agriculture's problems. He backs flexible price supports proposed by President Eisenhower, arguing rigid supports distort production and fail when supply outpaces demand. He cites wartime and Korean War periods, urges moving away from 90 percent parity toward 75 to 100 percent range as surpluses grow. The remarks to cattlemen urge freer economy guided by supply and demand.
