WALLACE HOLDS UP
COTTON TAX ORDER
Persuaded to Delay An
nouncement, but Stands
Firm on His Program.
BY the Associated Press.

A final drive to dissuade Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace from applying
maximum processing taxes on cotton
was credited yesterday with postponing
briefly announcement of his cotton
acreage reduction program, but failed
to shake his determination to carry
out his original plans.
He arranged early in the day to an
nounce his program before noon, but
partly as result Of protest presented
by Senator Smith, Democrat, Of South
Carolina, he postponed this. Late yes
terday he announced he would make
the program public tomorrow at IL
am, this time having been selected
to make the information available at
markets in this country before those
abroad.
Smiths protest was made at meet
ing which lasted until midnight Friday,
where Wallace was represented by DR..
r. G. Tugwell, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture; Charles j. Brand CO.
administrator, and Oscar Johnston,
finance administrator.
Smith Objects Vigorously.
1t was attended by group of South
ern Senators and Smith vigorously OBJ
jected to tax this year on the ground
that it would depreSs cotton prices
this Fall when farmers are carrying
the staple to market.
He expressed the opinion that with
out a tax the acreage reduction fea-
lures Of the program would tend to in
crease cotton prices up to Is cents
a pound.
One detail of the plan also slowed
up his announcement. This was de-
termination of the base period on which
the tax should be reckoned max
imum tax represents the difference be-
tween the current average farm price
for cotton and the parity price based
on pre-war average farm prices. The
difference during May made tax Of
4 cents a pound possible, and a max
1mum tax based on present prices
would be about the same amount.
Plans to Apply Tax August 1.
A rise in cotton prices following an
nouncement of the acreage reduction
program would have tendency to close
the margin and reduce the amount of
Iilc lax anu tlluS CUT Cle proceeds avail
able for making payments to farmers
Wallace plans to put the cotton tax
into effect on August /, at the begin
ming Of the marketing year
Meanwhile, with the wheat program
providing maximum processing taxes
already outlined, administrators turned
to another big problem Of application
Of the adjustment act-corn and hogs
Guy G. Shepard, chief Of meat
processing, announced that representa-
tives Of the packing industry were pre-
pairing trade agreements aimed to pro-
vide higher hog prices. These agree
ments will be submitted to Secretary
Wallace.
Medium Weight Encouraged.
The agreements in their tentative
form call for payment of premium
prices on medium weight swine to
discourage the production of heavy
swine and thus decrease the aggregate
tonnage marketed.
Plans in this direction have signifi-
canoe with relationship to corn, as the
latter is grown principally as feed for
hogs. DR.. A. G. Black, acting corn-hog
production chief, is working with
Shepard in drafting plans.

More Warships

We are building warships again. Our

to be the biggest construction program in
American history. We are to have 81 more
vessels including airplane carriers, reavy
cruisers. light cruisers, destroyers submar-
ines and gunboats. costing couple of hun

public shipyards, over period of three
years. This is being done by the most
peaceful of world powers. which has lab

it done?
A superficial answer might be that this
construction is to bring our naval equip
ment up to equality with Great Britain. the
only other power in our class. and to attain
the limit set by the London naval treaty.
But that limit is permissive. not eompul-
sorry. A real and avowed reason is to pro-
vide work for jobless men and help restore
prosperity. The government can build ships
for this purpose. along with other public
works. But it would hardly be expected to
build warships unless in themselves the ships
served useful end.
That end is presumably lesson to Japan.

The Roosevelt conservation program is
meeting with great enthusiasm throughout
the nation. 1t is surprising the number of
states that have cooperated in Withdrawing
tillable land from cultivation. This action
will cut crop surpluses and enable producers
to secure fair return instead of the pre-
vailing low prices of the last year. And
in addition states are acquiring for public
lands many valuable acres that in time may
be converted to state parks or forests. Of
course, there is some objection to the re-
moval of so much land from the tax lists
for public use. Every time the state adds
few more acres of park land it deprives
some town of a source of revenue. How
ever, in this particular instance there is some
recompense. Tobacco farmers of this state
will received quite sum of money for with
drawing many acres of their land from the
