WALLACE DEFENDS
! FARM RELIEF PLAN
Program Looks Toward a
"BaIanced Social State"
Says Secretary.

Secretary Of Agriculture wallace
yesterday praised the Roosevelt farm
relief program as looking toward q
balanced social state"-to benefit not
only the farmer but the entire Nation.
In an address here he asserted that
the proposal now awaiting action In
Congress, provides an ample safe
guard" for consumers; that taxes
through which the program will seek to
increase the farmers return viii de-
cline as rapidly as the price the farmer
receives for his product increases.
Wallace defended the bills aim to
curtau production, asserting that "as
our economic system works, 1t seems
that the greater the surplus Of wheat
on ,-ebraska farms, the longer the
bread lines in New York"
"A Major Experiment."
"In a complicated world system Of
exchange" he said, 'it seems to be
necessary to maintain a balance be-
tween different groups Of producers If
we are to avoid suffering. Our sur
pluses Of food crops seem to have
had as disastrous an effect upon ma
tional well-being as crop shortage used
to have on the isolated communities OF
Q simpler age"
Wallace, in whose hands broad pow
ers to prescribe methods Of relief for
various basic commodities wC..ld be
placed, said the bill attempts Q major
social experiment." but expressed con-
fldence that it can succeed II the CO.
operation OF farmers, professors and
consumers is obtained in its operation.
II successful, farm buying power will
rise, benefitting all groups tn the Ma
ton, he predicted.
"1t (the bilD Is trying to subdue the
hAbitual anarchy Of q major Ameri-
can industry" he said, "and to estab-
Ilsh organized control In the interest
pot only Of the farmer but Of every
body else"
More Than . Year Needed.
Explaining the variety of plans the
bill would make available for apph-
cation to different products, Wallace
said that accomplishment Of its goal
return Of farm prices to the 1909-1914
1evel-would be impossible Of accom-
ptshment in q single year.
1T may be true that the things
which this bill strives to attain here
and now may be brought about 10 or
Is years hence by the slow working
of economic law" he said. This ac-
ton. we hope, will speed the inevitable
readJustments with much less suffering
than under the harsh hand Of un-
controlled competition"

NEW YORK, March 18.-All rules

insurance companies have been promul-

Nations social and business fabric, has

said In an interview.
I'm 80 far as the Metropolitan Is con-

naturally permitting q greater proper
ton Of cash to accumulate during the
present emergency than we normally
would. Life insurance companies were
required to take over some Of the func-

crisis was forced to q head by the
hysteria Of our people. Substantial
loans on life insurance policies were
Demands Declared Met.
"The emergency restrictions now in
force here which prohibit loans and
cash surrenders, except for the payment
cases of extreme need, are no reflection
on the financial stability Of the insur-
ance companies, as State Superin-
tendent George 8. Van Schaick has
emphasized.
"Inasmuch as It Is the practice OF
the New York companies to act on their
dividends at the beginning Of . year
the order Of the superintendent Of in
surance prohibiting the declaration OF
future dividends has no practical e.
feet at this time.
"Au cases Of personal need, as well as
pay roll demands, are being taken care
Of in the exact spirit Of the ruling"
But . note Of warning was sounded
by the metropolitan executive regard
ing legislative trends. Any legislation
he maintained, designed to force q SET

and which would involve a scrappine

"such . development would instantly

ing that some So per cent Of the invest

Pointing out that $1,000, 600 policy
holders-more than one-han the entire

asserted that spirit Of genuine Co
operation prevails among all interested
