An agricultural export commission, designated to restore farm purchaa ing Tow er by Withdrawing exportable surpluses from tbe domestic m ark ets, “is deceiving the very careful consideration of.* the Department of Agriculture”, Secretary Henry G. Wal­lace said in an address before the' Chicago Association of Commerce.

While th e proposal “ is not put for­ward as a policy of the Administrati- ation”, the Secretary said, it has tho support and approval of many official^' who are in a position to influence le­gislation on the programme.

The commission, It was explained Would buy- exportable products a t th->.Am erican p rice and dispose of them .meettç ^ à r ïe t "as<à ievèl fcividg th tf ’* w^-irt ma*ir«K nhn™>W > W farmer hi* Lpré-war purchasing pow-JO 'th e world market; charging hack the losses to the dossers on the fol­lowing crop.

Explains W heat Depression Declaring the present depression in

agriculture, particularly In the wheat belt, is due to tbe disparity in pric-j level*/ between farm products and the thin |fk 'Lth6' farm er buys, the agficulJ to ta l secretary explained that the export commission plan-''would aim only “a t the restoration .of «the farm er's purchasing power to th a t of pre­w ar period /’ .

. Long studies" by the department, he said, had demonstrated tha t on

tk£ whole, farm products prices still were largely determined by world Competition, while the prices of virt­ually everything farmers use pire, pro­tected by the tariff against the com­petition of disorganised Europe. This situation) be said, had estabished two' price levels in the country, one for manufactured commiodiyes, and labor, determined by American conditions only, because of thè protection of the protect|oh of tbe tariff and immigra­tion laps.- The commission plan is calculated to withdraw from the American mar- ket from- time to time such, surplus dwtatities * as will imaìÀ^tljo^, tlie dp

er. ' The commodities withdrawn will be sold at tbe best prico possible In the world market, and the loss charg­ed back to the producer, not to the federal treasury.

Latest Plan UntriedIn this respect, the Secretary em­

phasised,' tKS suggested ‘plan <1 is es­sentially different from any ,other sug­gested for farmer relief! thru gbyerh* m enU | agencies.. -y jj^ k c h a rra b a c k feature, he said's 'Polldd'uwll^J^lpli’eck ' unnecessary prpdnctloa. In aa^r sys­tem or arbltary govemmental;vprice fixing on the;-other hand, the assured

profit would work tp stimulate j ductlon.

While the chief opération of aue^f. an agency would be In the-wheat nyùfi-;! ket, it was Indicated, the, ip ropos^ commission, would be .vested' With-ati|i thdrlty to function sht other markétf ,wHérfe&ratttrn*p-tti ‘fis^ïtÿ^m lght. , determined 'to 'b e out p f linefiot"gewt eral "price levels. - *.

Prlcé Fixing ScoredThe principle "Of arbitrary price fix­

ing by the government was- condemn­ed as economically^ unsound, by tha department chief. - But th e plan to restore buying power, he said, wan merely a practical application .of “the prlnfeiples of full protection, to' all pro­ducts of which we i produce a sur­plus.”* The suggested scheme, according tp,Jthe Secretary, has won widj) ap- ij^ a fth ro u g h o u t tb.e.'Northwest horn b a u e rs , ( business ..men/ and. grain handlers, as well as producers and' co­operative marketing' agencies.
