House Votes Payment of Farm Parity
Washington May 10 House approves parity payments and 85 million increase in automatic appropriations for surplus farm crops disposal through the food stamp plan. The actions bring the Agriculture Department’s 1941 supply bill over 900 million with 90 million in loans for farm tenants and rural electrification. Debate over federal debt limit and a new tax bill rises as a possible outcome, while President Roosevelt’s plans may avoid both. Senate and House motions mix with administration timing and internal party maneuvering. Vice President Garner reportedly blocks the president’s reorganization proposal while the Senate ends treasury purchases of foreign silver.
