CROP CONTROL IN AMERICA
+ BITTER ATTACK MADE BY SENATOR BORAH WASHINGTON, December 5. Senator W. E. Borah, in a typically vitriolic speech attacking the Government's contemplated crop control measure, said: "Mr Roosevelt admits that 40,000,000 people are un-der-fed and yet Nature's- bounty will be deliberately destroyed. "We cannot permit this condition to continue, for we will rear a class of human beings who will be full of revolution and disturbance," Senator Borah declared. "The attempts to regulate the law of economy through a Congressional Act are laughable and opposed to mankind's experiences over 2000 years." Senator Borah demanded that the Government should purchase excess crops with which to feed the needy, "even if it takes the last dollar in the Treasury."
