Iowan Asks Changes In Haugen Bill
Senator Mayfield urged support for the Mc Nary Haugen bill arguing it would withdraw cotton surpluses and stabilize prices. He said the equalization fee would benefit farmers more than it costs and a repeal option remains if results fall short. Senator Brookhart opposed the plan calling for price setting on a competitive basis and favored a cost of production and capital investment approach.
