abundant life. we are going to be
unemployed and depressed.
1t is. therefore. most encourag,
ing to find the business men of
the country opening frank and
well-considered attack on the AAA,
followed by constructive suggeS-
tiCns. And this is all the more
encouraging because Mr.. Wallace,
head of the Governments Depart
ment of Agriculture, is backing
water concerning his futile farm
program.
For example. Mr.. Wallace
praises the study made by the
business men and he goes on to
show himself to be entirely on the
defensive when he observes that
our cotton troubles are "a world
problem you will have noted
how the American politician of
all schools always has one con-
slant trait, namely, whenever his
promises fail, he resorts to blam-
ing foreign conditions0
OPPOSE WASTE
1t Should pe noted in advance
that the business men do not
oppose relief to farmers. They
specifically recognize that some
thing must be done to cure GER
tain bad farm conditions, and
that meanwhils much relief must
be given.
What they do oppose is the
unsound, wasteful and futile
way the New Deal politicians
have peen fooling the farmers
and the nation with this AAA.
Their program has three def
mite steps:
/. Eliminate the waste and
evils of the AAA political con-
troll over the business of agri-
culture.
2. Cure the disease by remov.
ing It's causes.
3. Meanwhile give direct re-
lief to farmers.
PRICES BLAMED
To begin with, the business
men Of the nation diagnose the
farmers trouble as being largely
due to high prices and high costs.
They stress the fact that taxes
and labor costs have greatly in
creased. This means, too large
a spread between the cost of cot
ton and wheat on the farm and
the price of those crops in the
city. 1t also means that the price
in the city is so high that the
crops cannot be fully sold.
Clearly, if the trouble is to be
cured. we must get lower costs in
the shape of taxes and wages, so
that lower prices can exist for
wheat and cotton. Then the
farmers can sell their crops, and
can do so at a profit.

STOCK MARKET
RALLIES; TRADE
VOLUME SMALL
Car Loadings Increase
Favorable Factor
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. AZ u.N.SO.
The stock market staged a tech.
nical rally today. after its plunge
Of the past week. Gains in a
few instances ran to 2 points, but
the recovery failed 70 attract any
appreciable following.
A few large blocks changed
hands at the start. However, &C
tivity Immediately slacekened
and the market turned dull.
T CARLOADINGS GAIN
Increased freight loading in
the week ended January 81
brought some response in carrier
shares.
The market was higher from
the opening, and continued to
gain ground through the forenoon,
although progress was slowed by
the limited volume. Steels, avia-
tions, motors, electrical equip.
ments, chemicals, coppers and
blue-chips were in the van Of the
rally.
COMMODITIES FIRM
Bethlehem, Chrysler, Douglas
Aircraft, Allied Chemical and
Johns-Manville were among stocks
to advance 2 or more points.
Westinghouse Electric was up .
at one time.
Commodities were generally
firm. Grains improved frac-
tionally, while cotton climbed IS
cents a bale. Bonds gained a
little ground.
