The speaker mentioned the following items which are ex cerpts from a speech written by Madame Chiang Kai-shek and read at the New York Herald Tribune forum on current prob lems: ... "Th word of mm u embodied In International document appears to be fast becoming without bond, without standing, without worth. II civilization la now to be aaved we must renew that unselfish devotion and fervor which characterised the medieval crusaders. We must regain power to stand for those higher principals so that the liberty of men, the sanctity of human rights shall not depart from the earth. With out religion no state can long en dure. Unless a radical change cornea over true hearts and minds of men, some or us will live to see civiliza tion perish, by the very same means used so long and so ruthlessly to destroy China. There la only one thing that can prevent such a dis aster to humanity. It la religion, whose partial eclipse I lsment. When national consciousness and Individ ual consciousness are developed through a belief in religion, when religion is accepted as the central and motivating force of life and conduct, then the doom of civiliza tion may be averted, but not until then."

Chicago, Dec. 5. fP) Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace de clared today the federal farm program should be made self- supporting to assure its per manency. The secretary was among the speakers listed for the 21st an nual convention of the American Farm Bureau federation. Secretary Wallace indicated in his prepared speech there was no assurance the farm program would continue long to be fi nanced from the general treas ury. Because of the European con flict, he said, "we must under take the biggest peacetime ex penditures in our history for the army and the navy. Permanency Question "That means our entire feder al budget must be given sharp scrutiny and review. And so in the next few months, the far mers are bound to come face to face with the question, how really permanent is the national farm program?" Wallace shared with Edward A. O'Neal, the. federation presi dent, a discussion of means whereby the farm program could be maintained in the light of recent economic develop ments and opposition from non agricultural groups. In a prepared address, O'Neal urged the program be made self-supporting, but he declared farmers intend to fight for enough money to carry it on "because national prosperity is directly dependent on the wel fare of the farmers."
