1936 - Depression, USA Agriculture: Congressional Statements on Supreme Court Decision
Intertitle: Govt. Leaders Discuss A.A.A. Court Decision.
08:40:28 CU ?? older Congressman. SOF: “Republicans (?) will soon realize that they have no good cause to applaud the death of the farmer’s best friend.”
08:40:42 CU ?? “We Republicans believe in Constitutional Government, and in the view of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States holding the AAA unconstitutional.”
08:40:59 MCU ?? “I believe the AAA decision is a great disappointment to the farm belt. The farmer has been selling his products for many years for less than his cost of production. He is entitled to better prices; when the farmer prospers the whole country will prosper.”
08:41:20 MCU ?? “The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the AAA case will in my opinion find favor with the country.
08:41:32 MCU Father Coughlin. “40 million farm residents are greatly disturbed today because the AAA is in the waste paper basket of foul balls. Let us not take out our venom on the Supreme Court of the United States. There is a general welfare clause in the Constitution of the United States of America which I am afraid the brainless trusters did not know how to use.”
Farmers; Politics; 1930s;
NOTE: 06Jan36 Supreme Court decided in United States v. Butler that the Agricultural Adjustment Act aka AAA was Unconstitutional. This New Deal federal law had reduced agricultural production by paying farmers subsidies not to plant part of their land & kill off excess livestock. Payment came from taxes on companies processing food products.
