Postwar Form Curbs
Py the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 12.-Dan T.
Carlson, Willmar, Mimi, president
of the American Dairy Association,
predicted yesterday that postwar
agricultural controls would be dis
liked as much as those now in
existence.
Just as we don't like rationing,
rollbacks and set aside orders now
Carlson said in his annual address
to the association, I'VE won't like
future developments after the war.
1t is only by thinking and planning
now that we can relieve those con-
trolls to some extent
He added that production of
plenty" now is included in the pro-
gram of all recognized agricultural
groups and the theory of prosperity
through scarcity has been COM
pletely discarded by all"
