decide," he declared, "what we ahall
do about export. It Is up to the
American people to decide whether
they want to carry out a 40 or 80
million acre crop land program or
accept a worked out self-regimentation
program. Ws engage in self
regimentation when we drive automo
biles," the young leader of agricul
ture aald In defense of the program,
adding immediately, that he was not
"dead sure auch a program waa
wanted, but we cannot tolerate the
chaoa of 1933.
"We can give the reat of the world
purchasing power for our product by
loaning the money or by changing
the value of the dollar In foreign cur
rency. That 1 one Important short
time fact for the American people to
grasp today. When that situation
cornea to a head, aa It must, It Is up
to the American people to decide
what they want to do. We have a
period of two or three year to de
cide what to do about exports.
Future Price Enigma,
"I cannot tell whether the value of
good at any time within the next
three, four or five year will be sufr
flclently great to pay the Intereat
on the debt, which foreign nations
owe, and in addition pay price for
wheat, cotton, lard and fruit.
"You find in every section of the
United Statea some tender spot In
respect to the tariff: different Indi
viduate think from one commodity.
Tariff, with them, Is a local Issue. It
Is In reality a national and Interna.
tonal Issue of the profoundest signifi
cance. The American people, how
ever, are so tariff minded that these
groups which have been protected by
tariff are so expertly represented by
talent of very high order, that there
is very little prospect of substantial
change In the Import situation In
the next few yeara.
The spokesman of President Roose.
velt'a New Deal then expressed the
wish that the Democrat and Repub
lican nartles might get together with
the best mlnda of labor, agriculture
and Industry, from all sections, to ap.
point a small committee to work out
Just what the American plan snoura
be.
Regimentation, Or What?
"Self-reglmentatlon," he added,
"may be the answer. The cry of
regimentation will go up to heaven,
as It has gone up. If you don't want
regimentation what will you do about
the tariff, about surplus acreage;
the apeaker asked.
"We can project a true social spirit
after the atyle of Jeffersonlan De
mocracy If we want to do It, by think
ing hard enough and maintaining our
hearts In a sufficiently sweet condi
tion." Secretary Wallace declared,
adding that auch a program would
constitute equally good Ltncolnlan Re
publicanism, which left the win or
the majority up to the minority to
confirm.
Procedure Told.
"This I the procedure we would
like to carry out In the agricultural
program, with respect to agreements.
When two-thirds of the producers of
a commodity agree, the other one-
third should come along.
"Sentimental people," Seoretary
Wallace brought out earlier In his
address, "shed teara of grief about
the little plga slaughtered In Septem
ber, believing they should live to a
ripe old age and be given a dignified
burial. You will always find people
who will say that nothing should be
done until the last hungry Chinaman
has been fed or naked Hindu clothed.
Under the existing circumstances In
the world this la Impossible. I would
go as far aa any one In this direction,
but I do not like to sea a thought-

the suffering of our farmer people,

No Wheat Shortage.
In spite of the drought In the mld

phatic "there I no danger of a short
age of wheat. Today the surplus of
cotton and of wheat cannot be used.
