POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF THIS ADMINISTRATION WHICH ARE DRIVING FARM PRICES SWIFTLY DOWNWARD AND CONSUMER COSTS HARSHLY UPWARD WITH EACH PASSING DAY. LET THERE BE NO MISTAKE. THE JOHNSON-HUMPHREY ADMINISTRATION IS USING AND ABUSING AMERICAN FARMERS AND RANCHERS AS THE SCAPEGOATS OF INFLATION. TO THIS STATEMENT I ATTACH A LISTING OF SPECIFIC EXAMPLES AND I INVITE YOUR ATTENTION TO IT. WHEN THE AGRICRATS OF THE JOHNSON-HUMPHREY ADMINISTRATION IMPOSE POLICIES AND PRACTICES WHICH HELP NO ONE AND HARM EVERYONE, THE CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FULLY JUSTIFIED IN THEIR RANGER THE BOILING POINT IS NEAR AT HAND.
