Obviously, in the absence of controls there would be no surplus. The prices of some grains might drop to rather low levels, but there would always be someone to buy the commodities. For example, food processing companies, hog raisers, and whiskey manufacturers could absorb more. Indeed, in a system free from vagarious government supports private speculators would undoubtedly hoard cheap grain in years of exceptional abundance, contributing to price stability.

A liberal by instinct, Mauldin refused to be hog-tied by the hampering allegiances that can destroy a cartoonist's punch. "I have lots of acquaintances and few friends," he says.
