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.

"111:110 l!»t* outbreak til hostili
ties is not ,i reason for abandoning
our efforts to conserve the soil, to
keep farm output in adjustment
wiui current and prospective de
mand. and to establish a rural-ur
ban balance on the basis of equit
able price relationships.
"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.
