Americans,” the president
of Shell Chemical Company
told members of the

The Shell executive, J.B.

pansion of government
regulations during the
19705,” St. Clair noted, “has
increased the costs of farm
ing and manufacturing,
created tremendous infla
tion, reduced productivity,
stifled innovation and
devaluedthe dollar.”
Not all regulations are
bad, according to St. Clair,
who pointed out that many
regulations have fine and
worthwhile objectives that
everyone can support. “In
creasingly, though, regula
tions are less than sensible”,
he said, “and many of them
are costing millions of
Susq. Co.
dollars with no tangible
benefits.”
St. Clair said the direct im
pact of agricultural regula
tion is insignificant com
pared to the potential threat
regulation creates by
limiting technological
growth and energy develop
ment, which are so impor
tant to agricultural produc
tivity.
“Evidence of the decline of
technical innovation is very
apparent today,” St. Clair
told the group. “Regulation
has practically eliminated
innovation in phar
maceuticals and has caused
many manufacturers to
totally abandon the .search
for new pesticides.”
According to the Sehll ex
ecutive, the energy problem
and its solution are especial
ly important for agriculture,
which is much more
vulnerable to fuel shortages
than most of the rest of the
nation.
St. Clair said government
legislation inhibits develop
ment of new petroleum

Red tape cut for emergency loans
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
Secretary of Agriculture Bob
Bergland has given the
Farmers Home Ad
ministration (FmHA)
authority to make
emergency loans to farmers
as soon as loss from natural
disaster is confirmed.
The Secretary abolished a
time-consuming system in
effect for several years that
required county govern
ments and state governors to
request disaster loan ser
vice, then for the Secretary
where they can build
pipelines and refineries,
what products they can
make and what their selling
prices would be. It does
almost nothing to encourage
development of new oil and
gas resources.”
The strength ot American

i Clair predicted, unless these
threats to energy and
technology can be resolved.
He said the U.S. currently
enjoys a tremendous com
petitive edge in agriculture,
and our country cannot af

competitive in world
markets by the pressure of
excessive regulations.

Under the new, less time
consuming procedure, state
directors of FmHA will

a need for emergency credit
to offset substantial loss
caused by storm, flood,
drought, or other natural
disaster. State directors will
act on the basis of available
information including
damage reports received
from FmHA county offices.
