Last week it looked indeed as if he would get most of his legislative program from Congress but everything was not rosy. His proposal to extend NRA for two years seemed about to take a licking (see p. 16). He had on paper only a bare margin to prevent passage over his veto of the Bonus Bill which would dump $2,000,000,000 worth of greenbacks on the nation. He had the problem of roundly rejustifying his whole program of lavish expenditure-in order to justify excluding the Bonus...

These new powers are for the purpose of letting AAA extend its control over other commodities. AAA answered this charge only in general terms. Said Chester Davis in a broadcast to farmers last month: "Unless the Act can be made fully effective as a national instrument serving the 2,000,000 farmers who grow special crops or milk, then, with support from...
