The threat that the Court may go beyond the processing tax issue and lay down the rule that Congress has no right to pay a bounty of any sort to the farmers, is not thought to be imminent, although such a declaration would mean the collapse of the farm program. Admittedly, one of the hardest problems before the Republican board of strategy is to find some offset to the AAA which threatens to enough Republican votes in normally Republican states to keep them in the Democratic column next year. A number of leaders, including Senator Arthur Capper Kansas, agree that the party would make a mistake in condemning the AAA or making it an issue, and that unless something "as good or better" is offered to farmers, criticism of the Act should be rigidly avoided.

In most of the raw material markets and the 'financial centers it was taken as the first solid evidence that American industry was pulling out of the depression.

"And how about next year?" 8 newspaper man asked Henry Ford. "Well," he said, smiling broadly, "you can just say we'll make all we can sell and sell all we can make." Canadian production in the first 10 months of the year added 68,000 more to the million.
