AGRICULTURE:
Barter

Forgotten by surplus-ridden U. S.
lard producers is the humorous stu
alton several years ago when they
bartered lard for German machin-
cry, finding themselves holding sew
eral thousand musical but useless
harmonious. Today Germany still
needs lard, for which she will pay
60 per cent above the present do
mestic price of 5 to 51a cents a
pound.
Contrary to the state department.
reciprocal trade program is the bar
ter plan producers would now insti-
tute. Rebuffed by Secretary of State
Cordell Hull, producers and German
barter emissaries turned to the
treasury department where Under
secretary John w. Hanes agreed to
a hearing. The plan, which obvious
ly seeks legal circumvention of very
definite foreign trade regulations, is
something like this:
U. S. packers, having arranged a
transaction in Germany, would sell
lard to an American importing firm,
which would trade it to private Ger
man buyers for "askimarks," usa-
BILE only in that country. The i'm
porter would then purchase German
products now on the U. S. free list,
paying in Germany money about
one-fourth what he would pay else
where. Products, turned over to
lard producers here, would be
largely of farm nature: Machinery,
cream separators and fertilizer.
