...encouraged surplus production. Last week, before the vote, word went around the corn belt that Benson would not support noncompliance corn next year if farmers rejected his plan. Thus many who approved his new system felt that they were voting for continued broad, if lower, price props, against his threat to cut subsidies...
Uncertainty Removed. The big threat to the Treasury lies in the fact that Benson's scheme removes all uncertainty about what a farmer can get for his corn, no matter how big the crop.

Or it could plan a zoo--maybe in Mem Hall or in the Fly Club garden. Whatever the means, this animal threat must be answered. Massive retaliation may indeed be in order...
