 And despite 20 centuries of more or less continual warfare from his day to ours and the efforts of .Charlmagne, Napoleon, Hitler. and others, the whole of Europe re- mains as badly divided as ever.
 It Is easy to condemn them-yet sars, Napoleons and Hitlers for the wars by which they attempt to unite these people.
 But certainly their resort to vio- fence where voluntary union never has been accomplished is no worse than the use of force in combin- ing antagonistic. independent feu- dal states to build a Great Britain. a France.

could have explosive effects up

With the aid Of ver-develop-
ing chronological processes, wai-
time agriculture increased pro-
duction 35 per cent above pre-
war levels. 1t did this in the
face Of the smallest manpower

Agricultural RecOnversiOn to Force
Cut in Farm Output or Larger Market

able SURPRISES, low farm prices
and income, with resulting re-
percussions on industrial produc-
ton and employment.
With military demands for
food expected to be cut in half
during the next IL months, Sec
rotary of Agriculture Anderson,
who 10 days ago was tackling
the problem Of shortages, now
faces the prospect of SURPRISES
in some items before the year
is out.
Unless industry masters its
reconversion problem quickly
to attain a high level of peace
time employment, Anderson may
find it necessary to call upon
farmers TO cut down on some
crops next year. Governmental
predictions of an unemployment
roll of 100000 by spring can
not help having an adverse ef-
feet upon the total demand for
food and other farm products.
Agricultures immediate re-
conversion problem will be in
fluenced greatly by two fac
tors: /. The extent of food ship
ments to Europe next fall and
winter and 2. the effect avail
ability of non-food goods will
have on consumer food buying
habits.
FINANCE EXPORTS
Anderson expressed confidence
IN radio address last night that
other means will be found for
financing food exports to Europe
now that lend-lease has ended.
Another factor in connection
with shipments abroad, however,
IS that the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton lacks sufficient funds thus
far to buy vast quantities of
food.
Some farm leaders expect the
domestic demand for food, which
rose to record levels during the
war, to decline considerably as
automobiles, radios, ETC., become
available in large numbers. They
say food demand went up during
the war largely because other
goods were not available.
Agriculture has some protection
against an undue break in prices.
The government is committed
10 support prices of most COM
modities at not less than 90 per-
cent of parity for two years af
ter the war. Parity prices are OF
ficially defined as those equal
ly fair to producers and consum-
ers.
A 90-per-cent-parity price level
nevertheless would scale down
farm income because farm prices
now average about 119 per cent
of parity.

Hull Points
Peace Pitfd||
Former Secretary Say,
Old System Obsolete

SAN FRANCISCO. April 81
QNSl-Officials arriving from
Washington revealed today that
Corden Hull. former secretary OF
state. has warned that clashes
may develop between the great
powers unless they are willing to
subordinate their regional agree
ments 10 the new security or
ganization.
HullS view. according 10 these
reports, is that the old world
system of balance of power must
not be allowed 10 intrude itself
upon the new peace organization
about 10 be set up at San Fran
cisco.
The elder statesman, who i sun
confined to the navy hospital al
Bethesda, Md, has received GER
tain members of the American
delegation before their departure
for the conference. He gave them
laSt-minute admonition regard
ing the pitfalls that lie ahead.
SOME PACTS MADE
Hull's warning arises from the
fact that certain countries al
ready have concluded regional
pacts for military assistance, in
tended 10 operate without waiting
for the new international peace
machinery 10 get into action.
Most conspicuous example OF
this is the French-Soviet pact,
which Gen. de Gaulle insists
should not be subordinated TO the
new security organization.
Even the Chapultepec agree
ment concluded among the Amer
ican nations at Mexico City
should, according to this view, be
modified to give overriding au-
thority TO the new world organi-
zation.
These regional methods OF pre-
venting war, Hull is reported 10
have said, will never be fully
effective.
Following Is digest of what
delegates have been told by the
former secretary of state:
Regional systems should be an
adjunct TO the world security or
ganization, but regional methods
for preventing war will never be
fully effective.
SIMPLE PLAN NEEDED
The only truly effective method
Is the establishment of a simply
and effectively operating organi-
zation that will be truly interna-
tional and impartial. This means
all the nations of the world must
be prepared TO surrender that
part of their national sovereignty
necessary for the enforcement of
peace protecting measures.
Huii placed special emphasis on
the factor of simplicity, saying
that the new organization will not
work If II is entangled with net
work of separate treaties and
alliances.
In expressing these views. Hull
became the first to reveal that
the conference is headed for con-
troversy in attempting to recon-
cile existing defense pacts with
the new world security system.
