Pro’s and Cons Os Selling
Wheat To The Communists
The much discussed current
question of whether the U.S. should
sell wheat to Russia involves many
more considerations than simply
whether it would or would not ad
vance U. S. security.
Farm Bureau policy, revised
by members last fall, does not
provide definitive guidance. The
position of the nations’s largest
farm group is merely, “We should
offer farm products in world mar
kets whenever it will advance the
best interest and security of the
United States.”
So Farm Bureau members
over the nation are discussing the
issue at the grass roots level, and
in the coming weeks will forward
recommendations for policy,on the
question to their county Farm Bu
reaus and then on to the state and
national FB federations. It is one of
a multitude of issues being studied
in this annual policy development
process which is unique among
farm groups.
Among the factors being con
sidered is the price. U.S. wheat
exports are subsidized by nearly
50 cents per bushel out of tax mon
ies. Is it fair to demand $1.82 per
bushel from Americans while al
lowing Russians to buy U. S. wheat
for $1.35, the difference coming
from taxpayers? Would it be* less
fair than a similar arrangement
with Finland, as now exists?
The Agricultural Act of 1961
forbids subsidizing or selling sub
sidized farm commodities to any
nations other than friendly nations.
But proponents of wheat sales
to Russia say it makes little dif
ference whether we sell direct or
whether we sell to West Germany
which in turn sells the U.S. wheat
to Russia. Or whether we sell

more to Japan which buys less
from Canada which sells more to
Russia.
Two acts of Congress forbid
sales on credit to any country
which has defaulted on previous
loans. So any wheat sales to Russia
would have to be cash sales, un
less the laws are changed.
The possibility of exchanging
U.S. surplus wheat for Russia’s
gold is enticing, for this would help
toward solving our balance of pay -
ments problem and help stop or
slow the dangerous flow of gold out
of the U.S. It also would tie up Rus

sian assets which otherwise might
finance Red activity of far greater
impact on U.S. security.
Os course, this presumes that
Russia would agree to pay cash,
which may be doubtful. Her recent
deals with both Canada and Aus
tralia included credit provisions.
There would be the advantage
of reducingU.S. wheat surplus, and
the debatable disadvantage of help
ing a Communist nation feed its
hungry people. The effect on U.S.-
Russian relations, and also upon
the relations between the U.S. and
other nations, also enter the pic
ture.
