Farm Products in Europe. Newark, N. J.— Chester C. Davis, agricultural adjustment administrator of the New Deal, almost succeeded in covering up a statement by him which laid wide open the fallacy of the new soil erosion measure conjured up to take the place of the unconstitutional AAA. Almost— but not quite. Davis' statement, which was Is sued from Berlin while he was on his six-weeks' agricultural survey of 11 European nations, claimed that there was little hope for a revived European market for American farm products. It was understood that administration forces attempt ed to recall It from newspapers to which It had been issued, but one, a dally In Newark, printed It and let the cat out of the bag. For the Davis statement. It devel oped, was inimical to the reciprocal treaty policies of President Roose velt and to the new erosion control program, in which much stress Is placed upon the necessity of de veloping foreign markets for Amer ican farm products. "All over Europe," read the sup pressed statement, "there Is bad news for the American farmer and exporter who hopes to regain the great market he enjoyed In this part of the world a decade ago. "Under the rising surge of na tionalism and the continued threat of war, with the possibility of food supplies choked off by blockade, the leading countries In western Europe are striving to become self-suffi cient and, as far as possible, to pro duce their own foodstuffs . . . "I am concerned with what these changes mean to the American farmer. We plowed up 50,000,000 acres to grow wheat and meat for Europe from 1914 to 1919, They will not be needed to the same extent for that purpose again. 'T see no sense wasting our soil resources and great national herit age of productive and fertile soil to produce for a market which we cannot have because of circum stances far beyond our controL Nearly every country we have vis ited has supplemented Its tariffs by Import quotas on some commodities. Some nations have put In effect rigid exchange-control systems which put the government in charge of every Item of foreign trade. Ger many is a notable example. Some countries have invoked outright em bargoes." U. S.

Ridieulas Financial Progrès*. Citing the mounting deficits, Snell said : "Three times we have been told in the President's budget mes sages no new taxes would be re quired, and in each instance we have been called upon later In the same session to pass a new tax bill. "All this proves beyond doubt that the administration does not have the slightest semblance of a finan cial program. Its nearest approach to a budget policy is to spend all the money It can gather in or bor row, in as many ways as possible." Carry Issue to People. 'Tt Is a mmstlon to put,* squarely before the JfRpjtte," Snell declared, "If the pebplé decide that thrift In business and saving for a rainy day is bad policy then they can en dorse the new taxes by their votes.

Higher prices, lagging wages an( j re( Juced value of the dollar make a disturbing combination. Peril of inflation. Dr. Neil CarotherS, Director of the College of Business Administra tion in Lehigh University, said re cently : "As it moves on, inflation re duces the value of all fixed in comes, from bonds, building and loan shares, preferred stock, and life Insurance policies. Slowly but surely It eats away the living of the widow and or phan, takes boys out of school and college, sends old people out to hunt work or charity, and destroys the life-long accumu lations of thrifty and hard working people. It destroys uni versities and hospitals, charities and pension systems, wills and Inheritances." In the current issue of The Guar anty Survey It was pointed out that I 42 per cent of all the families of j two or more persons in this country j have annual incomes below $1,500, I nual cash dividend on his paid-up j life insurance policy had fallen from j $42.70 In 1929 to $12.05 in 1936. and the income of 71 per cent is less tban $2,500 annually.
