declared Secretary of Agriculture
wallace. speaking before banquet
of the National Society of Daugh-
ters of Founders and Patriots Of
America at the Raleigh Hotel last
night.
Speaking of the immediate future
of the United States. Secretary

lens affecting the material welfare
of the American people. These are:
production of food in sufficient
quantities to feed our population.
and competition with European ma
tions when they start repaying
their debts to the United States.
Re-establishment.o of normal COM
mercial intercourse between ma
tions. Secretary Wallace asserted.
will witness a. scarcity OF food
products in this country. Practi-
cally the entire area of easily till
able land has been settled. involv-
ing the necessity of obtaining ac-
ditional agricultural lands from
reclamation projects ar the use OF
inferior soil. 1t was stated. Impor-
tation of foodstuffs by tie United
States within the next. decade Is
highly probable, the Secretary de-
clared. -
Regarding the European debt of
10000. .000. 900, Mr.. Wallace stated
that this amount will have to be
repaid in hours of man labor. THE
competitive strain thus thrust upon

problem of food supply constitute
a problem that challenges the best
thought of the country" he de-
clared.
