Food Market

Washington, Nov. lap The
United States wants the world to
know that it is ready to use aggres.
sive measures to preserve overseas
markets for its farmers.
This notice was given In twin
announcements OF the War Food
Administration "a that it will cut
prices on American cotton and
wheat in world markets, and (2)
that 1t will encourage farmers to
continue large production of these
and other products.
The price cutting will be made
in the form of subsidies to export
ers designed to enable them to
meet prices OF other countries
which have not raised their prices
to levels prevailing in this country.
The Roosevelt Administration
has in times past condemned the
use OF export subsidies and other
aggressive measures in world mar
kets. 1t has urged, on the other
hand, the establishment of world
agreements dividing markets and
stabilizing markets. Such agree
ments were recommended by the
United Nations Food Conference
held at Hot Springs. Va, last year
Announcement OF export sub
sidy programs at this time is in

weapon in behalf OF international

Director Whitman pointed out

wide program and there are nine
centers in operation within the

treatment for the children during

The first part OF the corrective
treatment is the psychological test
given the child when brought 10

that many children do not know
the meaning OF private property

acquired.
Children's disorders are divided
