President Roosevelt’ s administration suffered a devastating defeat when on January 6,1936, the Agricultural Adjustment Act was declared unconstitutional. New Deal planners quickly pushed through Congress the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act of 1935, one purpose of which was conservation, but which also aimed at controlling surpluses by retiring land from production. The law was intended as a stopgap measure until the administration could formulate a permanent farm program that would satisfy both the nation’ s farmers and the Supreme Court. Roosevelt’ s landslide victory over Landon in 1936 obscured the ambivalent nature of his support in the farm states. Despite extensive government propaganda, many farmers still refused to participate in the Agricultural Adjustment Administration’ s voluntary production control programs, and the burdensome surpluses of 1933 were gone—not the result of the AAA, but a consequence of great droughts.
In February of 1937, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace convened a meeting of farm leaders to promote the concept of the ever-normal granary, a policy that would encourage farmers to store crop surpluses (rather than dump them on the market) until grain was needed in years of small harvests. The Commodity Credit Corporation would grant loans to be repaid when the grain was later sold for a reasonable profit. The conference chose a Committee of Eighteen, which drafted a bill, but the major farm organizations were divided. Since ten of the eighteen members were also members of the American Farm Bureau Federation, the measure was quickly labeled a Farm Bureau bill, and there were protests from the small, but highly vocal, Farmers’ Holiday Association. When debate on the bill began, Roosevelt himself was vague and elusive and didn’ t move the proposed legislation into the "desirable" category until midsummer. In addition, there were demands that the New Deal’s deficit spending be curtailed, and opponents of the bill charged that the AAA was wasteful and primarily benefited corporations and large-scale farmers.
The Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act had failed to limit agricultural production as the administration had hoped. Farm prices and consumer demand were high, and many farmers, convinced that the drought had ended the need for crop controls, refused to participate in the AAA’ s soil conservation program. Without direct crop controls, agricultural production skyrocketed in 1937, and by late summer there was panic in the farm belt that prices would again be driven down to disastrously low levels. Congressmen began to pressure Roosevelt to place a floor under farm prices by making loans through the CCC, but Roosevelt made such loans contingent upon the willingness of Congress to support the administration’ s plan for a new system of crop controls. When the price of cotton began to drop, Roosevelt’ s adroit political maneuver finally forced congressional representatives from the South to agree to support a bill providing for crop controls and the ever-normal granary. The folk, wing year Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938.
It can be inferred from the passage that under the policy of an ever-normal granary______.
选项
A、the Commodity Credit Corporation would lend more money to farmers in years of good harvests than in years of had harvests
B、the Commodity Credit Corporation would buy up crop surpluses in years of good harvest and sell the surplus in yeas of bad harvests
C、the Commodity Credit Corporation would pay farmers the difference between the actual market prices received on grain and the price needed to guarantee a reasonable profit
D、farmers would be required by the government to store crop surpluses from good harvests until that grain was needed in years of poor harvests
答案
D
解析
文章第二段前两句话很清楚的说明了ever-normal granary这一政策是鼓励农民将剩余粮食储存起来以备歉收时之需。CCC将为此提供贷款,等到农民卖出谷物获得利润时收回。
