than a negative diplomatic tool
Speaking at the 79th annual
convention of the organization
being held at the Hyatt Orlando
%
#
Hotel, Stone asserted that world
grain and food supplies may
tighten considerably by the end of
the year
“Because the U.S. will likely
have the principal available gram
stocks, we will have food power but
we need to handle this respon
sibility wisely,” he said “Food
should be the last thing, not the
first thing, we use as a political
weapon. The food pipeline should
be the last commercial link which
should be severed when there are
seemingly insoluble problems
between nations.”
The Farmers Union official said
there should never again be an
instance, like the 1980 embargo on
gram shipments to the USSR, m
which food is smgled out as the
principal political weapon.

“There would have been little
criticism of the Russian grain
embargo if it had been part of a

Stone urged the Russian gram
embargo be terminated at once so
that negotiations can begin on
renewal of the five-year gram
agreement which expires in
September
“As for trade with Iran, the
initiative will have to come from
them, but should they at some
point wish to make cash purchases
of rice, feed gram, vegetable oils
or other foods, we should not close
the door to such a request,” he
stated.
Stone maintained that U S. food
power strategy “should include a

Program, stressing humanitarian,

“Even if grain and food stocks
become tight, a portion of our food
resources should be earmarked for
aid to food-deficit countries We
must not ignore famine and hunger
in the needy countries that
would be the quickest way to push
non-aligned nations into the
Communist orbit, ” he added.
While the immediate motivation
should be to alleviate famme and
hunger, “it should not be
overlooked that Food for Peace
assistance has helped create
markets for U.S farm products,”
Stone continued.
