wheat for export from other sur
plus producing countries.
In connection with prices, the
Undersecretary said that the
Agreement would not set U. S.
domestic wheat price levels, nor
would it impose any conditions
which would interfere with nation
al agricultural and price policies.
Maximum and minimum prices fix
ed under the Agreement would ap-
ply only to the wheat covered by
the Agreement. Producers would
be in position to plan their produc-
ton in accordance with known
markets; however, with resultant
greater stability of supplies and
less variation in the price level.
While limited supplies of wheat
in this country during any year
would mean necessary restrictions
or prohibitions of shipments in ex-
cess of the amounts specified in the
Agreement, Mr.. Dodd explained
that any disadvantage these regu'
lations might cause would be fan
overbalanced by the assurance of
continued large export business
during the life of the Agreement
The Department of Agriculture
Mr.. Dodd said, stands ready to CO
operate with the private grair
trade in devising such regulations
and procedures necessary to carry
out the Agreement with the least
inconvenience to private enter
prise.

Dodd Testifies on Wheat
Agreement

Export requirements for U. 5.
wheat for occupied zones and other
areas, together with the guaran-
teed sales under the proposed In
ternational Wheat Agreement,
would call for total annual wheat
exports from this country of about
400 million bushels for the next 5
years, N. E. Dodd, Undersecretary
of Agriculture recently told a Sen
ate Committee. The u. S. annual
share of exports under the Agree
ment is 185 million bushels.
The U. S. now has millions of
acres producing wheat for export
or for non-food uses, Mr.. Dodd
pointed out. According to the 1e45
Census of Agriculture, more than
IL million farms in practically
every State are producing wheat
Production during each of the past
four seasons has exceeded billion
bushels, and current indications
point to another large crop in 1948,
From 1910 to 1916, U. S. wheat
shipments averaged 131 million
bushels, or about 16 percent of an
nual average production. During
individual years of the period;
however, shipments varied from
over 800 million bushels in 1945-46
to a net import position during the
drought years of the mid-thirties.
The proposed agreement, it was
explained, would exert a signific-
ant force in maintaining overseas
demand and minimizing the effect
of Unexpectedly large supplies of
