March 5?A bargain with Great Britain, whereby that nation would increase purchases of surplus American farm products as practical compensation for the United States giving full support to the British war program, is being urged by congressmen from rural areas. Farm groups, which are backing! this proposal point out that exports of farm products have fallen off alarmingly and that the lend-lease bit', offers an opportunity to make a deai to regain the lost British market. The farm representatives arc also complaining that Great Britain is buying farm products from other countries?cotton from Brazil and tobacco from Turkey?but is confining its purchases here to munitions. Last year, government experts estimate, U. S. exports of cotton fell off 75 per cent, of wheat over 50 per cent, and that the decrease in exports of tobacco, fruit and other products were equally drastic. Sur- : plus crops have therefore become aj more serious problem than ever.

It is feared that the answers t i these problems will involve mor | squabbling and ill-feeling than th I lend-lease bill itself, since many c ! the Republicans who opposed th; bill did so because they didn't war to give Mr. Roosevelt '"dictatorial i powers?not because they were oy ! posed to full aid to England. The revenue and defense produt : tion programs, however, are mot ! entirely domestic situations?and th j Republicans have a strong club t ; back up their opinions on thes ' measures ? namely, the businct ! leaders who are called upon to pre duee the implements of war. On th j other hand, the administration feel it is necessary to give tabor the bet break possible.
