L. S. Browning
on Argentina

Washington, Apr. l-AP- The
United States has shut Argentina
off from the special economic. mill
tary and naval aid granted Latin
American countries. until such
time as she takes her place In the
hemisphere front against the Axis.
The decision, an authoritative
source disclosed yesterday, was in
line with a new policy of giving
preferential treatment to Ameri-
can republics which have gone to
war or severed relations with the
Axis.
The nine nations that have de-
clared war and the nine nations
that have cut relations have ex-
posed themselves to Axis attack,
the authority explained. hence, no
added, they must have all the eco
nomic aid. and military and naval
materiel the United States can
safely provide them. Because OF
the situation. nothing remains for
the other Latin American coun-
tries.
At the present time, the Official
said, Argentina still maintains rela-
tions with the Axis and Is failing
to contribute in any effective way
to the defense or security Of the

Hosts
to Farmers

Business conditions affecting the
farmer were discussed by Prof c.
B. Gum. OF the Michigan State Col
lege Extension Bureau. who was
the guest speaker at the Kiwauis
Club farmers day luncheon and pro.
gram in the Hotel Huron this noon.
The speaker pointed out history
would indicate that the prices are
going to jump. but prices at the
present time may not follow the
same pattern as they did in the first
World War because conditions are
not the same.
Today there is not the food short
age, mainly. wheat, OF which there Is
now a surplus, he said, poihting 10
the fact that Europe is not taking
the wheat surplus because the Brit
ish Empire is able to supply the de-
mand There Is. however, a shortage
OF meat. dairy and poultry products.
The price control bill is having
its effect on controlling the prices.
This IS proven by the fact that com
modities on which there is no price
control have shown a decided in
crease. Government action can con-
troll supply and demand and thus
control prices. Farm prices as the
general rule advance faster than
other commodities.
The Federal Reserve Bank has
control over financial agencies and
thus can curb price increases. The
ratloning program will tend to pre-
vent initiation. The excess purchss-
ing power from wages will be taken
care OF by taxation and the purchase
OF defense bonds. the speaker said
He declared that farm prices will
probably be rs per cent higher in
1912 than In 1941. The government
is asking for an eight per cent in
crease in dairy products: II per
cent In hogs; eight per cent in com;
so per cent In soybesns; and an
increase in egg and sugar produc-
ton.
One condition that Is holding the
prices down is the fact that boats
are lacking in which TO ship the
produce TO Europe.
