Agriculture Faces Postwar Regulation The relationship between agri culture and government in the post-war years will depend to a great extent on the relationship between government and industry and labor, believes William A. Schoenfeld, dean and director of agriculture at Oregon State col lege. ; The dean recently made one of the principal addresses at a west ern states meeting of the council of state governments held in San Francisco. In his address on "Post War Agriculture" Dean Schoen feld pointed out that while regu lation is abhorrent to the Ameri can farmer, if after the war gov ernmental policy continues to pro tect industry and labor, then agri culture will have to have com parable recognition if it is to at tain any measure of equality. "However, there will be serious question as to such agricultural protection programs with the gov ernment debt and taxes at the . high points which will be experi enced after the war,"; the dean pointed out "Thus any forecast as to post-war agriculture must contemplate that its economic po- sition will be established in its broad implications by political trends that shape the national eco nomic policy." For agriculture in the far west, however, the dean foresees a con tinued development of local pro duction and marketing possibili ties as .affected considerably by the greater industrialization of the west . j - "With renewed and more per manent industrial activity on the Pacific coast and with all busi ness stimulated and population in- Greek Tragedy War-Caused ,-- 2 . j , Only the spirit of this Greek child has escaped the Invader's ,cmel hand.
