MUCH HAS BEEN IGNORANTLY SAID about
violent defatiOn of farming"
When the war collapsed so abruptly. every in
dustry had to be restored to a peace basis; and
except for the bloodshed, the war itself was less
of a calamity than the readjustment All indus
tries had to dehate from their war valuations
and prospects Certainly, farm valuations up to
$500 an acre for plain corn land, based on the
continuation of the war and war profits, would
have to fall along with every other speculative
valuation.
1t is said that farm valuations in the United
States were debated $1S,OOO,OOO,OOO If so, they
were speculative and not normal values But
every other kind of valuation was also debated
This happened all through the business world
1t was not possible for the government to
keep prices up to the war level. The United
States produces more than it consumes; this
surplus must be sold abroad, if at ALL Disor-
ganized Europe could not buy and pay; the gov
ernment bought nothing after the army disband-
ed Without market prices of farm products
had to tumble in our country and all over the
world
Could or should the government have bolster |
ed the $1S,OOO,OOO,OOO speculative valuation of !
the farms. industries or products? Could it tax
-AS ASA A4SA AOA lib SNARE Oh all Lue OLneF DuS1-
ness losses caused by the collapse of debated
values following the war? The whole thing is
impossible.
But the farmer really got the best of the re-
organization, in tariff that protected every
hing he raised and brought him tariff-free any
hing he needed to run his farm. No other in
iustry got as much consideration in the read
ustment All he needed was a market for his
surplus.
1t is here now not political elixir, not a
oap-bOx cure-all, but the opening of the Euro
'ean markets through the Dawes-Young repara-
ions agreement. With larger crop in most of
he farm staples than in 1923, the American
armer expects to get $1,000. 900 more for his
rop, instead of less as would be the case if he
depended on local markets only. Business san
ty has settled the question of markets and
rices; political buncombe couldn't have done it
q thousand years.
