STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington April 17. —Under-secre- tary of Agriculture Rexford Guy Tug well makes a point it ish ard to pooh pooh, when he declares recovery first and reform afterward to be an im possible sequence. With a deep depression prevailing, the elimination of abuses, if such they be, which are or are suspected to be responsible for it, is a well-re cognized neiessity. Conservatism argues, however, that the uncertainties of pending politico, economic reform retard recovery—a still more urgent necessity. It is a reasoning not without its cogency. But if recovery does supervene without reform, the cry immediately is raised, “Don’t rock the boat! If re form is needed, let it wait until it is needed!” Which is a line of reasoning that has cogency, too.
