Wallace turned to that problem
next.
After a careful study of prices
and price trends, he produced the
first corn-hog ratio charts, which
showed farmers the probable
course of markets, and told them
when they could make more money
by sending their corn to market,
or when it would be more profit

and then sell the fattened swine.
IT WAS this study which en-

Wallace himself was appointed
Secretary of Agriculture, the same
post which his father had held.
AS head of the Department of
Agriculture, Wallace wrote the
Agriculture Adjustment Act. But
the AAA was declared unconsti-
tutional-a decision which drew
the fiery exclamation from Wal
lace that the Supreme Court had
authorized "'the greatest legalized

HE SET TO work, however, and
rewrote the AAA to comply with
the high courts objections. The

But in Des Moines, Iowa, an
earnest young farmer, already
famed for his experiments in cross
breeding corn, was worried.
Henry Agard Wallace, then only
80, wrote and published a care
fully-reasoned pamphlet which
pointed out that the initiation bore
within it the seeds of agricultural
disaster which would wipe out all
the gains of the farmers.

European report
By Henry A. Wallace

T have just returned from West
ern Europe. Tonight report
to the American people on my
conclusions.
Iehave been through England
and France, now striving to re-
| cover from the ruins of war. I
have been through Norway and
Denmark which for years suffered
German occupation. / have been
through Sweden which lives in
fear of war.
In all of these countries I spoke
before audiences of all parties. I
talked with men and women of all
political faiths. addressed meet
ings in the House Of Commons
and in the French Assembly.
l went shopping with a British
housewife to find what her rations
would buy. I spent several eve
nings in discussion with cabinet
members. I talked to women in
bread lines and to the survivors
of bombing raids. I spoke to a
meeting of farmers. I talked to
leaders of the resistance move
ment, who had been tortured by
the Nazis and left for dead.
THESE people are not divided
against each other. They hold no
hatred for any nation. They do
not go around asserting that the
Third World War has already be-
gun.
They are not pro-communist or
anti-communist. They want to be
friends with America and with
Russia, and they want America
and Russia to be friends.
As long as America is progress
sive and peace-loving, they will
want to be close to America.
BUT they find no basis for CO.
operation with an America that
fights social progress and uses its
economic power to divide the
world. They live in fear of the
day when they are forced to
choose sides between two armed
camps both of which seem to them
to be at fault, and neither of
which can defend them in the
event of war.
These people do not speak
lightly of war. AL of them know
that they will be destroyed in
another war.
All of them, without exception,
expressed to me one united con-
viction: There must not be an
other war; there need not be an
other war. All of them asked me
to tell America of their one ruling
sentiment: No more war.
EUROPE knows the prohibitive
cost of war. Europe today is still
living under wartime conditions.
