FRIDAY, JANUARY It, 1948. Prices Must Came Down . Unless prices drop substantially and Quickly, there is bound to be an other round of price increases," de claim Economist Robert Nathan, in appealing to business and industry to" reduce prices wherever possible in or der to stimulate consumer demand up on which high production depends. - It is becoming obvious to many business leaders that industrial pro duction is threatened with ; being "priced out of the market As prices move up, the demand for products de- clines. If buyers fail to react to the proffered commodities, there is an ac cumulation of surplus goods and this means the closing down of manufac turing processes. There must be something in the conclusions of Mr. Nathan because Robert E. Wilson, president of the General Electric Company, in an nouncing ' price v reductions ranging from three to ten, per cent on a wide varietur of consumer goods, says that his firm is taking the Initiative in re versing the inflationary spiral. It is obvious that this explanation is genuine because the company says in J many, lines it can sell twice as many products as it is now making and that, the reduction is not an attempt to reduce profits. Convinced that Vol untary action ; and, self-restraint by citizens and companies can do most to reverse the tide of inflation, this com pany sets an example which it hopes and expects will be followed by others. ..".

The farnjer-delegates, however, de- claredj that) they could not tolerate again -a collapse of our agricultural economy sujeh as occurred aftor World War. it whan for .twenty years there after farm (prices were at a disparity with prices' paid by farmers" and as serted! thatJ"when surpluses approach ' unmanageable proportions, it is im peratiye that farmers have adequate programs to control and adjust sup plies, isoas 'to prevent the wrecking of fawn prices, the destruction of farni purchasing power .and the re sulting unbalanced economy." Not '.many people will quarrel with this ' statement of principles for American! agriculture. There may be more debate, however,' over the addi tional 'suggestion that the producers of any commodity "should have maxi mum Authority to determine the level of tbe'support price of their particu lar commodity" which was coupled with the t- right to determine . "the utilization bf the marketing quota feature of the program." Heretofore, the Secretary of Agri 'Cultur4 acting in his discretion, set price Supports, as- provided . in the liw. Agricultural Adjustment Act, after consideration of supply, demand and other, factors. The Agricultural Adjustment t Act originally provided for a Variaple price support, from fifty-two to j seventy-five per cent of , pajrity.iand the farmer-delegates now suggest that these figures Should be advanced torsixty and ninety per cent Under j emergency legislation, price 5 support of basic commodities has been oi. a, jiiiiciv fci vein, ui jiurny m or der to encourage maximum produc , tion.l' i N. - , " Tlj'e farmers favor retention of the ' present? parity, formula; but take' the vieW that I adiimtmpnta : Wv ma?o among various agricultural products r according to j price relationships on the basis oT a ten year, moving average.

F. Morgan, County Supervisor ; for : Perquimans arid Chowan counties, has announced. Th program enables veterans, ten ants, sharecroppers and farm laborers to purchase farms of their own, and owners of uneconomic family farms to enlarge or develop them into ade quate units. : ; l; Borrowers pay in cash at least 10 per cent of the investment in land and improvements and obtain the re mainder from private capital source such as a bank, insurance company or individual . No government loan funds are involved. ; . Repayments are made in ,40 an nual installments but families are en couraged to make advance payments in good years to avoid delinquency in years of low income. The Farmers Home Administration fully insures loans against loss, makes collections and otherwise ser vices contracts at no cost to lenders. Borrowers who can obtain credit from regular lending sources s serving the community are not eligible for these loans. The insured farm mortgage loan program was authorized in the Farm ers Home Administration Act of 1945, which was written and sponsor ed by Congressman Harold D. Cooley of North Carolina. The insured Joan feature did not become operative until this fiscal year when- Congress appro priated an insurance revolving fund. Loans are made only when farms can be bought or improved at prices in line with their normal long-time earning capacity values. An earning capacity report is. developed by care ful appraisal of the property on the basis of probable production and prices over a period of years. When costs are excessive loans must be de clined. "Although it decreases the volume of loans made in the present period of inflated land prices, administrators of the program hold fast to the policy that it would be a disservice to fam ilies to help them buy or improve farms -at costs so high the farms would not pay the debt on a long-time basis, Mr. Morgan said. A local county committee of three successful farmers certifies the eligi bility of applicants and approves all loans; and helps administer the pro gram in the county.: The Perquimans County committee .consists of Colon S.
