Coffee Toll Heavy.
Labor, the official organ of the
Railroad Brotherhoods, and usually a
well informed publication, has this to
say about the coffee profteers who
are yearly taking a toll of 200 million
dollars from American homes:
American housewives are paying
at least $500, 100000 as their contri-
button to the good neighbor' rela-
tions which the government seeks to
maintain with Latin-American ma
tionS.
"a year ago the United States and
IA coffee-producing countries entered
into quota agreement to stabilize
the price of coffee. When the agree
ment was before the Senate for rati-
fication, State Department officials
said that under it there would be a
wee Bit increase of not more than
$25, 100000 a year-little enough, it
was argued, to keep Latin-Ameri-
ca in cheerful mood.
"That estimate was wide of the
mark. A 40 per cent increase has
added more than $500, 100000 to the
nations coffee bill and the top is not
in sight, officials of the Department
of Commerce declared this week.

"Just last week the War depart
ment turned down bids on 11,517 900
pounds of coffee because the cur
rent market price level is wholly
unjustified'."
My readers no doubt are aware that
the First Lady recently delivered the
first of series of radio talks for
which she is being paid by the cof-
fee interests something like $1,000 a
chat. 1t is to be hoped that some
time during the series she will take
occasion to tell us why it was neces-
sary to impose this additional cost
Of living on the American home.
Price Control.
Economists are generally agreed
that there is need for effective price
control if the situation is to be kept
in hand. They are also agreed that
any price limitation that does not
impose a ceiling on wages, food,
rents and nearly all other services
and commodities would be ineffec-
tive. To date the issue has been Sue
cessfully evaded by the Administra-
ton and Congress. These groups
realize that the imposition of a price
ceiling would step on many toes and
that, Of course, would cost votes.
I am satisfied that we cannot much
longer defer action if price initiation
is to be avoided. Already there are
many indications that initiation is on
the way. Unbridled initiation would
Askov American., 1941-10-30

be more ruinous than war as it would
leave in its wake economic destruc-
ton and chaos, from coast to coast.
State Socialism.
In the last six or eight years the
investments of the Federal govern
ment have been five times as great
as private investments, in new enter
prise. If that trend continues it is
only a question of time until the
government will own or dominate
practically all industries in this
country. The constant encroachment
of government into the field of bank
ing, credit and finance will in few
years wipe out private enterprise
upon which our existence as free
representative government is based.
Do we want this to happen?
Back Home.
A lull in the legislative program
made it possible for me to 60 home

Askov American., 1941-10-30

"Those Of us primarily interested
in the welfare of northwest agricul-
ture were not surprised, but we were
very much disappointed to note that
the trade agreement between the
United States and Argentina, signed
yesterday, will reduce the tariff on
flax seed, casein, canned and corned
beef so per cent, and bring about a
material reduction in the duties on
Italian-type cheeses, wool, fruits and
hides.
"The injurious effects of these re-
ductions in tariff on agricultural COM
modities may not become apparent
until the emergency is over, due to
the abnormal demand at this par
ticular time. But when the war is
over, and that day will come, these
reductions in tariff will be a real
factor in decreasing the purchasing
power of the American farmer. The
State department has attempted to
justify trade agreement with Ar
gentina partially on the grounds that
it will pave the way for increased
trade in industrial products, especial
ly automobiles, radios, refrigerators,
and electrical appliances. This may
be true, but it does seem rather in
consistent for the State department
of our present Administration to at
tempt to curb initiation by decreasing,
through taxation, the domestic con-
sumption for these particular COM
modities, the production Of which is
already being materially reduced
through the activities of the Supply
Priorities and ALLEGATION board, and
Askov American., 1941-10-30

This year was only the second time
on record that agricultural exports
were exceeded in volume by imports
Of competitive agricultural products
from other countries.
One of the chief increases in COM
petitive imports was in wool, which
jumped from 162, 100000 pounds in
1939-40 to 473 3,000, 900 pounds in 1940-
Al. In the same period, coconut oil
imports increased from $4,000, 900
pounds to 100000 pounds.
A most striking development of
our agricultural import situation is
the increased shipment of Latin
American farm products into the do
mestic market. Argentine imports,
for example, have increased from a
value of $51 ,000,000 in 1938-39 to
$72 ,000, 900 in 1939-40, and to $113,-
100000 in 1940-41. OF course it is
well known that the Argentine
produces much the same agricultural
products as we do in this country,
and in view of the Administrations
"good neighbor" policy, we may ex-
pect increased competition from that
country under the lowered rates of
duty announced by the State depart
ment two weeks ago.

The day following the announce
ment of the ratification Of the Argen-
