HIGH EFFICIENCY
SEEN As NEED
Of FARMS
Secretary Of Commonwealth
Says Living Standard Must
Be Maintained
By international News Service.


HARRISBURG, Pa, June IA
series Of hard years confront the
farmers and artisans Of America in
the opinion Of DR.. Clyde L. King,
secretary Of the commonwealth.
Increased standards Of competency
on the farm and in the factory. DIR.
King said, will be necessary to keep
UP the living standards Of the
American people.
The decreased purchasing power
OF the foreign countries that have
been purchasing Americas surplus
production, the inability Of those
countries to pay off the interest
on debts they owe the United States
with anything but merchandise, and
the fact that America will produce
more than 1t needs itself, are all
continuing to bring about a period
OF depression, DIR. King believes.
THE cost Of producing farm goods
Is increasing, and what they buy
Is decreasing" DIR. King said. I'VE
are therefore facing a long series of
hard years on farmers in this coun-
try. Half of our people depend
directly on the farm for living.
With increasing costs and declining
foreign markets this half will be
hard put to it in the years that are
just ahead to maintain a standard
OF living fitting to American life,
together with fair educational ap-
portunities for their children. In
creased skill in farming alone will
keep up living standards on our
farms.
Our factory output, like our
farm production, Is now greater
than the domestic consumption.
We have, during and since the war
period, exported large quantities Of
capital abroad. The interest on this
capital must soon be coming hack
to this country in the form Of goods.
Countries desiring to get back on
a gold basis must buy gold from us
AS we have almost all of the
worlds commercial sold. These
countries can only buy gold by sell
ing US goods. In other words, we
must have imports to pay the in
terest on our capital investment
abroad, and this just as there Is a
decline in the demand for our own
surplus Of manufactured goods we
export. It is only a question of
time, therefore, until the earneG's in
our cities, too, will be hard put to
maintain American standards of liv
ing. Our increased competency in
the factory, as on the farm, will
keep up our American standards.
