F MU AGRICUU Pegged Prices May Bring Disastrous Results To American Farmer LOSING EXPORT TRADE Europeans vVho Once Imported Are Now Exporting It; And Cotton May Shortly Go the Same Way In Demand By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer New York. March 6. —American eco nomic policy in regard to agriculture is likely to have a difficult summer. Pegged prices may bring disastrous results. Washington already is taking note of the way the wind is blowing. France intends to abolish government fixed prices for wheat and to restore free market conditions. Some years ago that would not have made any difference. But in the last few years France has changed trom a wheat importing nation to a wheat exporting nation. Even that would not make so much difference if many other parts of Eu rope that hitherto never produced wheat in quantity did not now pro duce it. And why? Because the United States and other wheat exporting countries tried to maintain a pegged price, we are told. Fear is expressed that cotton will go the same way.
