WASHINGTON, June ZQ.-iJFy-A. man with full confidence , in
himself and with confidence in the future of the nation takes charge
Monday as the nation's food chief. -
He is Clinton P J Anderson, a six-foot New Mexico resident
of Scandinavian . ancestry whom President Truman lifted out of
the house of . representatives to become secretary of agriculture
and war food administrator. -:
It is well that he possesses great
confidence. The 'huge task ahead
of him that of s relieving acute
food shortages at home and of
helping provide food for the hun
gry abroad is, in fact, a task Of
defeating fearj ,
Fear Now Obstacle '
Anderson and his colleagues on
a house food shortage investiga
tion committee have just returned
from a tour of midwestern and
far western food producing areas.
I accompanied the committee and
can report that a farmer fear; of
farm and food surpluses is stand
ing in the way of maximum pro
duction. This fear grows out of the mem
ory of how over-expansion in
farm production during Wojrld
War I helped bring on a tragic
agricultural depression.
It was a similar fear of sur
. pluses on the part of govern
ment food officials that contrib
uted heavily to- present shortages.
Thinking that the war in Europe
would end last year, these offi
cials quite understandably led
farmers to cut back production.
"Abundant Production
: "Abundant production, Ander
son told an audience of business
men and farmers at Minneapolis,
"is what the nation needs. There
need be no fear of surpluses, now
or in the future."
"Abundant production is the
only sound , solution to shortages,
black markets, and inflated food
costs," he added. The audience
applauded loudly.
At Minneapolis Anderson told a
small group of businessmen who
entertained him at a dinner that
he had been impressed by the
tendency of farmers to vote repub
lican at recent elections.
