With the war closing many foreign

authoritative sources said today that

Such funds would supplement the

eign market outlook with anxiety
Secretary Wallace predicted yester-
day that exports during the coming
fiscal year would be 80 per cent
smaller than this year. Sharp re-
ducttons In foreign sales Of cotton
wheat, tobacco, fruits and pork
products are anticipated. Exports
OF several Of these products already
have been affected.
1nasmuch as the country already
has bumper supplies OF most o1
these products. normal production
under the Federal crop control pro-
grom would add to those surpluses
and could be expected. officials said
to have = depressing effect on prices
Under existing legislation, the
Agriculture Department Is author
lied to make loans to producers on
surpluses -at rates tending to bolster
and hold prices above levels that the
supply and demand situation other
wise would dictate.
However, funds available for such
loans were said to total less than
$1,000 900. Through loans from
the Reconstruction Finance Corp
and congressional appropriations
II ,OOO, ,00O, 900 has been made avail
able to the Commodity Credit Corp;
for such loans.
About 5000, ,0o0, 900 Of this amount
Is now tied up In loans or in COM
modities taken over under foreclos-
ures. Latest reports showed that
the Government investment In COT
ton alone was about $500 900, 900.
1t was said the administration
may recommend that the credit cor
poration be authorized to borrow
additional funds from the r. &c.
Meanwhile, the Agriculture De-
partment announced plans to treble
operations under its food stamp
program Of distributing surpluses
among needy families. Already in
operation in 68 areas, Secretary Wal
lace said that officials expected to
extend 1t to 125 or $50 cities in the
next several months. Participating
needy persons would be increased
from 1906, 900 to 1000 900.
Bill May Be Tied Up.
The 1941 farm bill, which con-
tains funds for the stamp plan, may
be tied up in the Senate by an argu-
ment over how the $212, 900 900 farm

that other House changes must be

GOSPEL FORUM
Fundamental GOSPEL Forum

God is good even though the
Scriptures say that He is the sole
Greater of evil, Isa. 456, 7. There
are not two gods, one good and
one evil, both striving for suprem-
acy, with the outcome in doubt as
Christiandom teaches, but One God
Supreme over all, who uses both
good and evil to accomplish His
beneficial will and purpose to be-
come all in all, and the consuma-
ton glorious beyond words. His
temporary use of sin and evil is to
eStrange His creatures from Him
self for time that at long last each
and every one of they may come 70
know Him as a Saviour and Recon-
ciler. And when He says that He
through Christ shall become all
in all, Cor. 1928 it means just
what it says, not all in just a few,
not all in Just believers, but ALL IN
ALL. This means YOU. Eventually,
why not now? This is a God worthy
Of your love, trust and alteration.
We are beseeching for Christ. BE
conciliated to Godl" 2 Cor. $40.
This is what the Scripture teaches.
