Secretary Wallace's Message
The conference was given the
hearty commentator of~the national
government through the following
message from Secretary of Agricul-
| ture Wallace:
"You have met to discuss one of
| the most pressing economic prob
\ lens of the hour. 1t is the problem
| uttermost in all our minds. To 1t
we should come without prejudice.
| We should seek to know the facts
and we should strive for straight
! thinking and sound reasoning based
| upon, the facts.
/ 1.-THE troubles my which the farm
! err is surrounded are not of his own
I making. In large part they are due
| to worldwide conditions over which
he has no control, and in a large
measure are the inevitable results of
! the World war. No miracle can be
| expected to turn this period of adj
versity into a period of prosperity
overnight, but there seem to be
good reasons for believing that the
worst is over and that we may rea-
| sonably hope for gradual improve
ment from now on. A clear recog-
milton of the conditions as they exist
should help us to realize this hope"
