FARMER HAS BEEN WORST HIT
IN HISTORY OF UNITED STATES
so DECLARED SECRETARY OF
AGRICULTURE WALLACE
Urges Better Credit and Lower Freight
Rates as Relief Measure-NatiOn
Passing Through Crisis

The United States is passing
through the most severe agricultural
depression Of its history, Secretary
Wallace, of the Agricultural Depart
ment, declared in an address Monday
before the Boston Chamber of Com
merce. Asserting that prices of ma
jor farm crops were lower than at any
time in the nations experience, Secre-
tary Wallace predicted that decreased
production would result in prices $50
high that city CONSUMERS will COM
plain bitterly, for the farmer cannot
continue to produce at a loss" This
condition is undermining agriculture,
the base of the pyramid which repre-
sents our national life," Mr.. Wallace
said, adding that the first task of the
country was to "bring agriculture
through this critical period with the
least possible damage"
Credit and Freight Rate Relief Needed
The industrial East, Secretary Wal
lace declared, may feel the need of u
sympathetic and thoroughly efficient
agriculture sooner than is realized,
since "the billions of dollars which we
have loaned to Europe must be paid
not in gold but in goods which COM
pete with our own manufacturers AMI
which are produced at a cost far be-
low our own, and to meet such cOmpe-
tition our own people must have the
cheapest possible food" Outstanding
requirements for the relief of agricul-
ture, the Secretary said, are better
credit conditions for the farmer, re-
duction of freight rates on agricultur-
al products to the lowest possible level
and Federal supervision of such insti-
tutions as public stockyards, market
agencies and grain exchanges.
Nation Must Decide Upon It's Course
This country now, Mr.. Wallace said
is passing through very much the
same experience that England had fol
lowing the Napoleonic wars. AL
though the transition in England from
an agricultural to a manufacturing
country had set in at the beginning Of
those wars, the Secretary recalled, i
was the severe depression in agricul
tural products that followed and con
tinued for many years that finall!
wrought the change of an industria
nation, he said. "We are approach
ing that period which comes in the lif
of every nation" Mr.. Wallace said
Oxtyhav, xx,a ,,o,,ct data,Yooino x1yb ba,. Wy
shall strive for a we'll rounded, self
sustaining national life, in which ther
shall be fair balance between indus
try and agriculture, or whether, as hav
so many nations in the past, we shal
sacrifice our agriculture for the build
ing of cities and expect our food to b
produced not by Independent farmer
but by men and women of the peasan
type"

in the Earlham chapel Friday evening,
ATLAS on the Water Wagon-Get 1t
Done"
The lecturer, who is one of the most
noted speakers for dry law enforce
ment and world prohibition, in the
United States today, brought out
clearly and eloquently the inseparabil-
ity of world peace and world sobriety.
He called attention to the remarkable
condolences of the past three years
Of the parallel development of peace
and prohibition on the earth, and
stressed the necessity Of continuing
work for prohibition throughout the
nations Of Europe and other cOntin-
ents.
America Leads
America has lead in beginning the
dry movement just as she is leading in
the establishment of world peace.
Prohibition has been made a part of
our national fundamental law. the con-
stitution, and it is here to stay. We
should condemn the humorous attitude
of part of our press and many moving
pictures toward enforcement of the
18th amendment and we should unite
to help enforce the laws which an
enormous majority of our citizens
have put upon the statute books
Theodore Roosevelt said, the worst
evil in community is unenforced
law And besides taking these at
titude in our own community we must
help in the greater campaign of the
Anti-Saloon League assisted by the
/ Women's Christian Temperance Union
and the Intercollegiate Prohibition as
ISOLATION for World Prohibition.
Organize World League
"A World League against alcohol
ism is now organized and working in
20 nations of the globe. Because of
the fact that the colleges and univer-
stiles of most civilized foreign coun-
tries are the leaders in any movement
the campaign against alcoholism is be-
ing carried to them first Leaders
recognize that the best wav to con
vince them is to obtain the active
support of our own colleges and uni
'Ci olIlCo " testimonial OF Id1tn IN
prohibition, and so the intercollegiate
Prohibition association is lining up
the different institutions all over the
country for this cause"
At the close of the lecture pledge
cards were passed out wherein any
one interested in the movement might
make subscriptions. DR. Landrith's
method of attack of the problem and
his emphatic presentation interferred
with expressive and revelant humor
made his address one of the best of
its kind heard at Earlham college
