Kennedy Urges Flexible Farm Supports Over Parity
Senator John J. Kennedy of Massachusetts told the Bay State Farm Bureau Federation in Worcester that high fixed price supports at 90 percent of parity would not ease the farm dilemma. He favors lower flexible supports to curb surpluses and protect prices, while criticizing subsidies that favor larger farmers over small ones. He doubts the farm vote will drive national party policy, and argues for self-liquidating arms aid to Europe alongside gradual U.S. defense assistance.
