EVIL EFFECTS OF
HIGH RATES ON
FARM PRODUCTS

New York, April 2s.-Unless
there is a quick reduction in raH-
road freight rates to about pre-
war levels or the prices OF agri-
cultural products increase Bufd-
ciently to equal the rate advance,
there win be profound readjust-
ments In agricultural production
involving readjustments In indus
try as we'll" Secretary Wallace
declared In an address today be-
fore the New York Academy Of
Political Science. The .blighting
effect" upon agriculture by the
present level OF freight rates, the
secretary said, "can hardly be
comprehended."
What he regarded Rs the prob
able effects Of present rates con-
tinued fer any length OF time
were summarized by Secretary
Wallace as follows:
Effects Of High Rates.
First. to favor the farmers OF
South America and Australia at
the expense of Ulsr own farmers.
| tSubstantial decrease in ocean
rates emphasized the disadvan-
tage or the American farmer. he
pointed out
Second, to keep prices on farm
products in the large surplus pro-
ducing states at figures lower
than are justified by the invest
ment in land and equipment anu
cost of production,
Third, prolong the period Of
dissatisfaction among farmers and
encourage advocates of economy
fallicies Of all sorts.
Fourth, improvement the posi-
ton of eastern truck and fruit
growers but add considerable to
the cost of milk and diary prod
ucts because of the advanced
prices of hay and COARSE grains
necessarily shipped in from the
west.
| Shipping Westward.
4 Fifth, gradually shift indus
trial enterprises westward, near
er the surplus food producing TER
ritory.
K. Sixth, promote sectional rath-
er than national spirit and make
more and more difficult national
A policies with respect to interna-
; tional affairs"
j Present freight rates impose a
tax on the farmer of the surplus
producing states. Mr.. Wallace
said.
II 1.-THE most hopeful sign Of the
r present time is the apparent rec
ognition OF the railroad manage
ment that our present high rates
cannot be continued without dis
aster to the railroads themselves
and that rates must come down to
a point not far, II any, above the
pre-war levels"

TErHERE is inclination some unthnkins
n persons in Delaware TO charge the United States
with seeking TO grab reparauons payments from Ger
many before the devastated allied countries have been
their share The facts OF the matter are plain
and completely refute any such charge. The truth is
that ask reparations whatever-merely rem-
bursement for expenses OF army OF occupation.
The total cost all the armies OF occupation from
November Il. 1918. Armistice Day to May l. 1921
amounted to 36s9. 900 gold marks The countries
that devastation OF their territory have
had their share that cost repaid to them In full The
balance amounting to 1850 900 gold marks is due
the United States and Great Britain. Up to December
81 1921 Great Britain had received lso.69sooo gold
marks as a payment her share OF that sum. on that
date balance stln owing from Germany on account
Of the armies OF occupation stood follows; United
states 966.37AOOO gold marks, Great Britain 5es-
o2O 900 gold marks.
The United States has received a single mark to-
ward the liquidation Of It's debt although the allies are
paying themselves off rapidly as the money flows
from Germany.
Secretary Hughes note TO the governments OF Great
Britain France Japan. Italy and Belgium shows the
restraint in which this country has held itself while the
division OF the German gold has been going on under
the direction Of the allied ministers
It appears tho plan off this country from
any the reimbursement payments began at the
The costs OF the American army OF occupation were
ignored altogether and the entire instament OF gold
marks about be received from Germany was allotted
the allies
Secretary Hughes has reviewed in detail the lam
guage OF the armisce agreement the Versailles treaty
and the treaty Berlin. conclusively shows that
the American claim is fully justified, free from tech
nca objection and affected in way by the fall
ure OF this country ratify the Versailles pact He Is
not nsstent upon Immediate payment but is perfectly
willing TO negotiate the OF settlement; Just as we
are preparing negotiate the settlement OF the Items
OF the 81 debt owed by tho allied gov
ernments Meanwhile however. Mr. Hughes suggests
that the allies postpone distribution Of cash pay
ments received from Germany.
This government" concludes the Secretary OF state
In his note will welcome suggestion from the al
lied governments the reasonable adjustment OF this
matter. Upon receiving assurances OF payment this
government will be only too happy to proceed to the
OF suitable by which It's Just claim
may be satisfied. Pending such consideration and ad-
ustment this government earnestly hopes that the al
lied governments be disposed to refrain from giving
effect to any for the distribution OF cash
payments received from Germany TO the exclusion OF
the claim OF the United states"
