It Is doubtful whether agri culture can make a complete recovery for many years unless tha normal ratio between tha prices tha farmer receives for his crops and tha freight rates he paya both on what be sella and what ha buys is re-established vary soon. High freight rates are no longer jus tified in view of the decline in prices of commodities, he argued.': He urged an adjustment of rates to correspond with the adjustment that has occurred in farm prices. Wallace declared either farm prices must come up, or other prices be low ered. It would be better, he said, to e'-vata farm prices. The plight of the farmers he characterized aa a "national danger."

WILftOff BBOAK FIGHT Tha fight for untrammaled oommunl aatloa In the Western hemisphere be gan under the Wllso administration. Secretary Colby adopted practically the same policy aa did Secretary Hughea. There waa no politics in it, aim ply a deliberate effort on the part of tha Am erica a government to aea to it that cable communication with the alUm pertent continent to tha south of ua was not eon trolled by foreign owned com panlea, which might discriminate against the eitlsens of the Unltad States. President Harding, however, has the opportunity now to go even further and ta use the example of what has been ao- ' eotnplfshed In the Western hemisphere aa a means of securing freedom from asotienoly In other countries with which ' the United Statea haa direct eonununl eaUoa. for. admittedly, world peace and ' extensive commerce depend largely upoa aotnmanlcatloa, t Tha Harding administration la saying siothlng for the present' a boot licenses to eeeapaataa landing eeblee rrem Eu repean points, pre faring ta settle the South American situation first and of far an example of what can ba done by abolishing cable monopollea, but the fact la that tha KaUogg bill, enacted re- eeatly Into law, gives tha chief execu tive powers which may revolutionise the whole question of cable communication. If properly exercised. It will be recalled that the Wilson ad ministration, feeling confidant of the constitutional rights of the executive in refusing to grant permits to com panies to land cables if tha interests of the United States seemed adversely af fected, found itself In the midst of liti gation with, the Western Union. The federal court never did get a chance to decide whether the executive had the power to grant or revoke cable licenses, fcr In the middle of the controversy congress acted and specifically vested n the chief executive all the discretion ary power needed. It then became a matter 'of further negotiation between the state department and the cable com pany. : ACTIOS 03CE OF P01ICT The Washington government made it clear that its views did not involve preference to cable companies nor waa It attempting to dictate how these con cerns should handle their business, but that broadly speaking communication was a matfr of policy as well as law and that the United States couldn't agree to permit the Western Union to land a cable at Miami, Fla., if that meant a connection with a British company .in Brasll which, having an exclusive mo nopoly on the Brazilian coast, virtually prevented an American cable company, operating on the west coast of South America, from reaching around the con tinent and developing ita lines. - The Western Union always replied that the All'America company had similar monopolies in Peru and Ecuador and that the Western . Union waa prevented from developing ita lines north of Chile oh the west coast of South America. Thus the controversy dragged on, but it became evident to all concerned that it only a Question of -time until the United States, through its diplomatic in- ruence, would see to it that the monopo lies were not renewed. So all the com panies were brought into harmony and the Impression this correspondent has gained by Investigation of the subject in official circles, is that the agree ment sausxies au parties and means a atep forward in rapid communication as well as in the development of better po litical and commercial relations, with Scuth America. There are some monop ollea in Central America which will in time also be abolished. Tha principle of the American govern ment is that any time any companies which are connected with America by airect cable, ana which ere not giving American companlea reciprocal privileges abroad will find their permits in danger of being revoked unless they live up to the spirit of reciprocity. For the Kel logg law removes all doubt as to the power of the executive and gives the president the right to grant or revoke permits at any time that the conditions are not fulfilled by cable companies, in peace as wan as in times ot war.
