a question.
Senators continually point out to the
Secretary of Agriculture, to the Serrate,
and to the people of the country, to the
best of our ability, the facts, as opposed
to the misstatements which are being
continuously made by the S cretary of
Agriculture. The figures presented by
this administration show it to be a fact
that the increase in wages, froarl 1952 to
1956, was 22 percent. The increase in
corporate profits after taxes, from 1952
to 1956, was 33 percent. The Increase
1956, was 77 percent. At the same time,
farm income decreased from 1252, to;
1956, by 30 percent. Parity. averaged'
100 in 1952 and 83 In 1956. Last ,month?
arity again was 80. 1939 was the' t`
year in which the yearly parity figui"
was this low. Under `tt11. ,those circum_
stances I ask the 'distinguished Senator
what >ue Can ydo 1nducethe' 6e6retary
these misstatements.
Mr. HUMPHRE'Y, I must reply to
my'esteemed and good friend from Mis-
souri that the only thing we can do Is
to have men like the distinguished Sen-
ator from Missouri IMr. SYMINGTON]
tell the facts,. because the Secretary of
Agriculture is just not going to do it.
We have triefi repeatedly in the Commit-
tee on Agriculture and Forestry to ob-
tain these facts. We have had to dig
them out. This is no exaggeration. I1
is unfortunately a s ld I rilth. I wish t4
