Hoover Sees
Prices Drop

Washington, May 25.-Decrease in
agricultural production may result in
this country becoming dependent OF
overseas food supplies. Herbert Hoov
er declared today in letter to Rep
resentative Riddick. republican, Mon
tana. sitting forth the former food ad-
ministrator's views "as to practical
measures to insure better returns to
the farmer for his labor and invest
ment."
Mr.. Hoover suggested the creation
of commission composed of highly
trained farmers and skilled eeonom-
lists and financial experts to consider
the causes and remedies for the sit
uation.
Says Decrease Coming
Asserting that the present high
prices of commodities will sooner or
later decrease, Mr.. Hoover said ''this
deflation must not begin on the far
mer." Shortage in production outside
the United States, will extravaganza
and misuse of extended credits fol
speculation and profiteering and non
essential production are contributing
factors in the present inflated prices
he wrote. When the collapse occurs
he predicted, intermediate dealers
will be able to pass the greatest por-
ton to the back of the farmer, 40
matter how carefully handled"
War deterioration in our transpor-
tation facilities has created periodical
structures in the free flow of food
from the farm to the consumer" the
letter stated. This has compelled the
consumer to buy during a local short
age and the farmer to sell his product
during local glut. The condition II
initiation of credits since the armis-
tice has extended speculation and
profiteering by expanding the bor-
rowing facilities to any food disrrib-
utor who wanted to indulge in such
practices and has widened the mar
gin between the farmer and his mar
ket, likewise increasing the prices Of
supplies that the farmer must buy"
The burden of taxation is wrongly
distributed, Mr. Hoover declared
pointing out that the excess profits
tax sis an appointment to food man.
ufacturers and distributors to collect
taxes for the government by adding
them to the margin between the farm
er and the market"
1.-THE whole marketing system In
many of our commodities is indirect,
expensive, wasteful obsolete and in
creases the margin unduly," the let
ter continued. "Our manufacturing In
dustries have developed out of pace
with our agriculture and labor is be.
ing drawn in thousands from the farm
to the town at wages with which tho
farmer cannot contend"
A commission studying the whole
situation, Mr.. Hoover declared, would
deal with these things with that same
common sense with which similar
commissions of farmers met the great
economic problems of the food ad-
ministration during the war with
equal consideration for farmer, dis
tributor and consumer"
