Farm Depression Is Seen Unless Control Continues Wallace Warns Farmers Cr op Adjustment Necessary to Prevent New Depression o n Heels of European Peace War Is Not Solution t o Problem, He Declares Washington. Jan. 2.—(AP)—Sec retary Wallace warned farmers to day that unless they preserve and strengthen governmental machinery for crop adjustment, peace in Eu rope would throw American agri culture into a new depression par alleling that which followed the world war. There is grave danger, the agri culture department chief declared, that the war. with its stimulating effect upon demand and prices of farm products, will be regarded as a solution of the farm program. That would be folly, he ;idded. be cause a slump may follow the war. In his annual report on the agri cultural situation and efforts of ins department to restore farm income to a parity with that of .ion-farm groups, the secretary placed special emphasis on new problems he ex pects the current war to toss at American farmers.

"On the contrary, it is a reason tor strengthening our machinery to accomplish these ends," he declared. The secretary said it was prob able that peace "will find us uuuoiigtiiy inalajusted to peace time conditions: that agriculture will again be .cod with the need of drastic acreage limitation; that rural and urban unemployment will caii.-e a iurthcr increase of non commercial farming: and that com mercial agriculture will lind itseli in more urge.-t need than ever of saieguards against the depressing influences of world prices.'' Quick Slut l Needed, lie predicted that unless tnc na tion u.n shift quickly from neavy uroar, production for a world at war to equally heavy urban produc tion for large domestic consump tion. agriculture would again lapse back into "price depression and .stagnation". Wallace forecast a need for these peacetime governmental aids: El forts io sustain farm prices by means ot additional acreage, price supporting commodity loans, and subsidies to move exports at ivorld prices. To critics of the administration rrop control programs, Wallace had this i" say: "There is no question of going back to laissez l'aire. For agncui f it- the problem is simply to get ;hc in ,ae t approach to a permanent .quiutble laim adjustment with the ii:;.. t drawback in national disad vantage. The only way is to con tinue broadly along me path we already have marked out." Can't Regain Position. The secretary said he held little h..pc of American agriculture re captui ir.g its tormer position in world markets. He said the war seems to nave widened the econom ic guii between the new and the eld wo-Id. and to have delayed the hope of "genuine reciprocal trade iv.wv r. the nemispneres". Wallace said he saw the possibil v jf increased trade with Latin and South American countries e ^ultmg from the war. Such trade would involve. he said, increaseu exports of industrial goods and, such tarm products as Hour, lard and certain canned goods, and increased import-; o: agricultural products, principally tropical kinds not com petitive with American agriculture. Prospects of this trade, Wallace said, have caused "some concern in agricultural quarters" in this country, founded on '"visions of a large influx of competitive agricul Uit"1 products". "There is. as a matter of fact, no basis for any such trade fears," the . ccieUn y declared.
