Collins and his artillery experts admit that the A-cannon is just an interim weapon. Their long-range plans revolve around ground-to-ground guided missiles, another Army development project. These are still too inaccurate for any kind of close-in use.

The aim is to give the farmers' dollar the same purchasing power it had in 1910-14. No other segment of the U.S. economy has the same Government guarantee.
