Administration leaders fought the amendment bitterly as the President had announced W# opposition to ,puch a formula for figuring, parity. Ad­ ministration spokesmen charged that the parity formula admendment is • inflationary and "will result jn heavy increases in farm costs.- Many o f the big. city newspapers, polumists and and radio commentators are support­ ing theAdministration stand. On the other hand farm leaders point ont that the legislation passed by -the House could not possibly result 'in more than,a two per cent increase in in farm prites^ould -all conditions and'circumstances work ont to the greatest benefit o f the farmer. They insist that it is unfair not to permit to count increased farm labor costs In figuring -the actual cost of produc­ ing farm1' commodities.. In fixing price ceilings on manufactured arti­ cles^ labor hosts are, of course, in­ cluded.
