American farmers would do well for themselves and likewise for their country if they consider care- fuliy the sound advice of Secretdry of Agriculture Wallace 0 “proceed with their production plans as if the outbreak in Furope had not occurred.” This 13 more obviously true of wheat farmery but It ap- plisg with equal force to producers of all other farm commodities, In his appeal to the farmers Mr, Wal- 1’ce reminded them that in 1915, One year after the beginning of the last World War, the average prices of wheat. corn, hogs and beef were lower than they were In 1014. He pointed out that American agriculture now is in much better position to moet the shock of war than I was 25 years ago. “The very machinery which f:rmers have used to adjust production to decreased demand in peace-time.” he sald, “can be used In war-time to Increase produe- tion if and when that time becomes desirable.” Cer- tainly . before expanding wheat acreage, firmers be nearly so greit during the last war, because of ped by the county executive director, a Wial of 46 | families dropped from the rods just before the probe started. After the probers had concluded their in- vestigation, they recommended that 34 more fam.l- jes be dropped and tht 15 families be further in- vestigated.

PRESIDENT ACTS PROMPTLY The prompt action by the Federal Government 0 halt rising commodity prices due to War psy- chology is unprecedented. It sas In marked contrast to the fallure of Washingion to stop profiteering and hoarding ef previous administrations and this time without waiting for complaints or petitions from any source. Following an !mmediate Saming by President Roosevelt In a press conference al the outbreak of hostilities in Europe, with assurances as 10. the abundance of {ood and fiber and other supplies, Sec. retary of Agriculture Henry A. Wailice broadcast to the nation the details as to surpluses of all kinds Even before the invasion of Poland #as under say the public had been Informed of actual conditions which precluded fear of shortages and removed ex- cuse of profiteering. Sug'r having in the past been the first objective of both hoarders and speculators, it was explained that the American market was glutled with sugar and the sugar division of the De- partment of Agriculture had previously provided for a resefve, if needed, of 800.000 tons. Nevertheless, because of the memory of the fugst shortage during the first World War, Presi. dent Roosevell took no chances. Commenting on his action the Washington Post, (Rep), sald: “In suspending the quotas which restricted the importation and domestic marketing of sugar, ihe Prealdent struck a dynapie blow at the hysteria which. prevalied in some oirgies over food supplies and prices. He hid already Indicated that no short- age of any of the basic commodities Ig in prospect and had sought cooperation of .retallers in prevent. ing sudden and unyarmanied ntice advances. The hosteria aire:dy fs deliated. With this flurry over it will be posible ‘to resestablish reasonable quotas that #1 protect the Interests of both producers afid consumers.” A TRICKY TRUCE IS OFFERED (Harrisburg Patriot) Precious as peace is, there Is no dificuity in un. derstanding #hy England and France refuse 10 con- Sider the proffered truce offered by Germany and Russia, now that Polind has Deen hrtchered.
