Wheat Countries all in the Same
Boat as to Surpluses
American wheat growers are by no
means alone in their effo rts to con­
trol the world wheat surplus in pro­
ducing exporting countries according
to W ill Steen chairman o f the state
A A A committee o f Oregon who has
recently received word o f steps be­
ing taken in Canada, Argentine and
Australia.
American wheat growers w ill no
doubt be faced with the problem o f
deciding on the adoption o f wheat

The Argcn.ine and Canadian govJ
ernments have been protecting the
farmers by offerin g to buy their
wheat outright but this has led to d if
ficulties. Argentine farmers are as-

o f about 50 cents.
Both governments say now they can
not continue to buy unlimited am­
ounts o f wheat unless foreign mar­
kets reopen. Canadian growers still
have much o f last year’s crop piled
out under temporary shelters because
supplies far exxeced storage capacity
o f the country.
Australia guarantees wheat farm­
ers a price o f about 5614 cents u
bushels on an annual crop o f not
more than 140 million bushels. In
return fo r this guarantee the grow­
ers must agree to market their wheat
thru the gov* i nment and carry out
eeitain practices designed to reduce
wheat acreage.
In Argentine it is estimated that
nearly 200 million bushels o f wheat

Canada will have more than 700 mil­

are considerably larger than sup­

The cotton mattress program is

The war cannot be won in the
Balkans. But the beginning o f the
end could very well be effected there.
I f the Battle o f the Balkans actually
takes place as now seems close to in­
evitable the war will really enter its
decisive stage.
This battle represents immense dan
gers to both sides, and both fo r some
time have been hesitant to run the
risk. Now it looks as if the strate­
gists may have decided that the pos­
sible gains are so great that it is
worth the gigantic gamble.
As Time puts it, “ For Germany a
setback in the Balkans would be morq
than Germany’s first outright mili­
tary defeat in W orld War II. It would
be the turning point o f the war.
“ For Britian a decisive defeat at
Salonika (o r anywhere else in the
Balkans) would be more than another
Narvik or another Dunkirk. It would
¡mean the destruction o f jBritian’s
only existing victorious army; the clos
ing o f Europe’s back door; the focus,
sing o f the entire war upon the Brit­
ish Isles, where in the last analysis
W orld W ar II must be decided.”
