and foreign affairs have stirred up
a multitude of controversies in the

Before coming to Washington as
the late President Roosevelt's agri-
culture secretary, he was editor
of Wallace's Farmer and Iowa
Homestead at Des Moines. He took
a leave of absence to work for the
government.
The first word of the new con.

Dante M. Pierce, published of the
farm papers, had wired Wallace
that ''your desk is waiting for you
here" Wallace replied that he was
going to the New Republic. Pierce
made the exchange of messages
public.
In his statement here, Wallace
said he is taking on his new task
with the greatest enthusiasm "be'
cause / know there are millions
of progressive-minded Americans
who want to cooperate to usher II
the peaceful century of the com
mon man."
