FRIDAY, JANUARY :i, 1947. Will Farm Prices Drop? "We have good reason to suppose that a decline in farm prices may be in the offing," declares Clarence Francis, chairman of the Board of the General Foods Corporation, who adds that this will "make life hazardous both for the farmer and the canner." Mr. Francis pointed out that can ning prices are based on costs and set many months before the product reaches the consumer. He forsees the possibility that in the interval between growth and sale, the con sumer may decide that the price is "too high." That the present high prices for farm products will continue long in the future is to be doubted. The ef fort to adjust agricultural production to fit a decline, certain to come at an unknown time, is one of the great problems now confronting the nation and tending to complicate its econ omy. Sugar Outlook For 1947 The scarcity of sugar continues to worry the American housewife hut she can get some comfort from the fact that the retail price has not fluct uated as violently as after World War I, when it jumped from 11 cents a pound in 1919 to 27 cents in seven months. Experts on the world outlook for sugar say that the 194(1 production, 27,200,000 tons, was the smallest in 22 years. The estimate for next year is :,000,000 tons, but this is Kl per cent below the average for the !9.'55 .19 period. It is generally agreed, however, that a moderate increase in the amount of sugar available to indus trial users and housewives will come in 1947. Cane and beet production in this country will be larger and the crops in other areas that supply the United States offer promise of larger supplies. The sugar experts say that the United States is getting 5,600,000 tons of sugar in 194fi, which is about two million tons less than in 1940. As normal consumption is figured at 98 pounds it would require 7,000,000 tons to supply the normal American demand, and it is barely possible that this amount will he available in 1917. New Wage Demands There will probably be anothei round of demands by labor for in rreases in wages and the nation ic quite likely to witness large scale strikes in 1947. This is not reassuring but present indications are that the effort to se cure additional wage increases will meet with stronger resistance from management. Certainly, there will be a tendency on the part of employers to develop the attitude of the new Congress before making concessions. The United Automobile Workers, through its president, Walter P. Reuther, assert that a pay hike is ne cessary to restore to workers what has been taken from them by the rise in the cost of living since the begin ning of the year. The organization wants a 17.8 per cent increase which would add 23 cents an hour to the present $1.3.1 and it has other de mands in mind. If the 900,000 workers represented by the organization get what they ask, there will be similar demand? from other groups. The facts will be obscured, as usual, and the publi will find it difficult to determine just what are the fundamental equities in volved. As a beginner, the UAM as serts that auto makers can increase wages 25 per cent without increasing the prices of automobiles and that profits in the industry topped pre war rates during the current quar ter. The demands of the CIO organiza tion are criticized by some A. F. of L. labor leaders who take the view that this is riot the time to initiate new wage increases that will upset the tendency of costs to stabilize. They point out that wage increases result in price increases which means the cost of living goes up and the endless cycle of increases begins. Cooperation Will Win About all the - news that comes from the meeting of the United Na tions Genera) Assembly and of the Big Five Foreign 'Ministers seems to emphasize the inability of either group to reach agreement about any thing. Of course, part of the difficulty centers around the necessity for unanimous action on the part of the Big Five. Other difficulties relate to the lack of understanding, something of a common distrust and the na tural inability of diplomats to seek the best possible bargain for their own countries. It would be a mistake, however, to assume that there is no hope of in ternational cooperation. The very fact that the nations continue to de bate, discuss and disagree is evidence of an underlying effort to reach agreement, lit may take some years or some decades but eventually the battle will be won and the nations, including the Big Five, will determ ine that there is more to be secured through cooperation than through division.
