Although many students, particularly those in the social sciences, favor the policy of encouraging instructors to participate in outside affairs, because it gives nourishment of a practical kind to their teaching, it is apparent that for the sake of Harvard such men must recognize a limit to their actions. They are in the same position as the President of the United States, who is always regarded as President whether he is speaking in behalf of the Democratic Party or the Warm Springs Foundation.

If these inducements do not work the Act provides for compulsory controls-marketing quotas (such as are now in force for cotton and tobacco) invoked after two-thirds of the growers approve in a referendum. If crop prices continue falling however, Mr. Wallace declared himself opposed to outright price fixing on the basis of production cost, which "would soak the consumer, sink the farmer, and mean uncontrolled production...
