562 AGRICULTURAL RELIEF Now, then, this bill is available if the time comes when you get on an export basis and have to depend on the world’s market— this bill is available for you to operate under if you need to. If not necessary, you will not operate under it. Looking upon it as being for the general good, not only for yourselves but for agriculture generally, you would be here. So far as taking the money. out of the Treasury directly to sub- sidize it, the taxpayer is smart enough to know all that money will have to come back and be gotten from him in some other way. So [ can not see where anybody needs to have a fit about some industry that can see where they can get a direct benefit from helping other industries with their influence to get on a level so they will not be competing with them. Where is there anything inconsistent about it or anything unfair or anything unjust about it. Mr. KincaELOE. What is your question? Mr. Apxins. 1 think at the very outset of your statement you set out very clearly that you wanted our people—— : Mr. AswerL. I want to know, too, what is your statement? Mr. Apxins. I did not interrupt you gentlemen. Mr. Kincueroe. I would like to ask the witness if he has any. Mr. Apkins. May 1 proceed? Mr. KincaeLoe. We think we know your position on this bill. Mr. Apkins. When you were making your statement I did not interfere with you, and I am not going to be interfered with myself. ~ Mr. KincHELOE. You take more time of this committee putting your own views in this record than all the other members put together. [If you examine the record you will find that to be correct. Mr. Apxins. I think the gentleman from Kentucky takes up Shows a much time as anvone, and I am objecting to being inter- rupted. Mr. KincaELOE. I want to know what your question is going to be. Mr. Apxkins. I think you made your statement very clear as to the reasons why you are here. I think you announced in the record fairly why you were here. I am sure Brother Kincheloe—— ~ Mr. KincHELOE. Ask a question. The point I am making is that [ like to see members of this committee ask questions and develop all the facts that are possible to be developed. But I am getting a little leary and a little tired—and I think I speak the sentiment of about 20 others—for a man to sit here and put his ideas forward and give his statement, and then ask no questions on the subject, but see if the witness agrees with him. Mr. Apxins. 1 think .every member of this committee—I could name two or three—has been very free to inject their opinions in the record and make statements in this record. I am not objecting to it, but I think it comes with mighty bad grace from members of this committee who are given to the habit just as much as anybody else bo sit here and criticise other members for doing the same thing I do. Mr. Fort. Mr. Sexauer, your theory is that the passage of the Haugen bill will probably maintain the relative relationship in farming that now exists between the grain and cotton growers on the one hand and the dairy interests on the other; that the production will probably remain relatively the same? Mr. SExaUER. I am accepting the statements of the men who are interested in those commodities as to what they say this bill will do,
