Abstract
- Presents an insight to the effect of farm bill on consumers in the United States. View that the plan is designed to raise the prices of farm products to consumers; Statement that the farmer may benefit from the bill but the consumer is likely to suffer; Suggestion that the need in depression is not that of redistribution but expansion of purchasing power; Expansion of purchasing power to increase production and consumption; Statement that the disturbance of price relationships has caused a net diminution of effective demand, of production, employment and general purchasing power; Acknowledgement that transferring purchasing power to the farmer may be expected to benefit not merely the farmer, but also the industrial worker.
