However. I was amazed this morning to see the Secretary of Agriculture quoted in the press as saying that the twoprice system In the United States as applied to the cotton producer would lead us into fascism.. Why. for more than 100 years we have had a twoprice system in this country for everything the cotton farmer has had to buy. and yet when it is proposed to apply the same rule to help the cotton farmer. to raise him up from his present misery and distress and despair caused by buying in a protected market and competing in the sale of his product with peons and coolies and slave labor in every corner of the world. we are now told that the rule which industry has had applied to it for all these years cannot be applied to the farmer without bringing about fascism in the United States.
