Davis, now director of the Moffett program in agriculture and business at Harvard, told the 88th annual National Grange convention the federal price sup port program for farm products had been "infinitely cheaper than to have permitted surpluses to demoralize both domestic and world markets.' r Had the full U. S. agricultural production been allowed to en ter world markets, he said, world recovery after World War II would have been retarded. "But the philosophy that the entire agriculture economy must be depressed economically as a means of forcing adjustment is unsound," he said.
