Agriculture
Tarmers' Pleasant Prospeets

! GbHtStS ASG~~h 'SS~
The Agriculture Department says
American farmers now can expect
another season of tremendous" farm
production with livestock feed grains
approaching an all-time peak.
Only last years crop volume will
exceed this years, the department
officially estimates, and 1949 produc-
ton might have set a new record were
it not for bad weather and plant dis
eases which caused a sharp drop in
wheat prospects last month.
AS the agriculture experts see it, it
looks like a wheat crop of about
1,2OO, 100000 bushels-the third larg-
est in history and about 20 per cent
bove average, more than enough to
fill prospective domestic and export
requirements. The corn crop, at
$3.50, l85, ,OO0. bushels, will be only
slightly below last years. There are
prospects also of huge oats yield.
With the heavy carryover of feed
grains from last year, there will be
greater supplies than ever to feed
farm animals. This fact, says the de-
partment, should encourage farmers
to keep their meat production high.
Consumers also should have a good
year, the department reports, for high
production should bring further drops
in farm prices. It sizes up some sum-
mer price prospects this way:
Hogs: Prices around present levels,
but should drop as the peacetime
record crop of spring pigs moves to
market in the fall Cattle: Slight
advance in prices of better grades
instead of the usual sharp rise. Milk
and Milk Products: Increases prob
ably less than the usual season rise
Apples and Pears: Declines expected
to levels lower than last years. Grains
and Fats and Oils: Lower prices indi-

ABROAD: New Berlin Blockade

Last month representatives of the
Big Four powers agreed in Paris on
lifting the almost year-long Russian
blockade of Berlin. But since then the
Soviets have imposed a series of little
blockades which western officials
term a breach of the four-power
agreement.
Their latest step was to choke off
western truck traffic to Berlin to a
trickle. They closed all highways but
one from the west to Berlin. On the
remaining open road-the Helmstedt
highway-they cut truck traffic from
300 day to 96 Cor four an hour.
While trucks lined up for two miles,
awaiting their turn to ride the auto
balm, and fish and food began their
smelly decomposition Under Ger
many's midsummer heat, seven bored
Russian soldiers complacently stood
guard.
What was behind the new block
ade?
One suggested explanation was that
the Russians wanted to cut down on
west Berlin trade to make it less
attractive in the eyes of the east Ger
mans under Soviet rule.
British military government spokes-
men said the western powers were
angered by the blockade and would
take strong action against it. To &
Russian claim that they merely were
attempting to stop the importation Of
blackmarket goods, an American Of
ficer commented: "Since they have
shut down all points except Helm
stedt it seems obvious there are othel

THE ECONOMY: Truman Seeks TO Bolster Output

DRESIDENT TRUMAN agreed
i this week with what economic
experts have been saying for
months. Business conditions, he
conceded in his midyear economic
report to the Congress, are riding
downward.
Prices, he reported, have dropped,
mostly in moderate and orderly
fashion, about nine per cent below
the August, 1948, peak at wholesale.
Wages have risen in some industries
but they have been Offset by fewer
hours of work SO that real earnings
have stayed about even. Corporation
profits before taxes in the last six
months were Is per cent under those
of the last half of 1948, and farmers
are netting eight per cent less than
they were a year ago.
Employment (averaging 58,000,-
O00) is still high, but unemployment
has been increasing and veterans and
others leaving school are finding
it much harder to obtain work than
a year ago." the President said.
Production is still high, but it is
lower, particularly in some industries,
than it was last year. Business invest
ment is at high rate, but plans for
new investments are being made with
caution"
But there is no reason for panic.
Unemployment has not risen to the
dangerous levels which would call for
about emergency measures. . The
economic situation does not call for
an immediate and sweeping expansion
of public works"
Urges Boosting of Output
What it does call for, the President
said, are new laws to bolster jobs
and production, consumer income and
buying power-laws to bring the an
nual output to ''well above $S0O,0O0,-
100000" in a few years, or one-fifth
higher than today's national produc-
tion.
The business outlook caused Mr..
Truman to reverse his field on taxa

earlier this year, for four billion
tax increase and he bowed to the idea

The Moon, HoIf-Won

German atom and rocket scientists
say they have won half the battle over
natures barriers to flying manned
rockets to the moon.
They say they now have completed
the basic theoretical calculations. But,
one informant says, 1--WE are not so
stupid as to disclose our top secret
theories just for nothing"
Any kind of war production is
banned in Germany, so scientists there
have little else to do but to work on
theories. Top rocket experts recently
formed an interplanetary society for
space research, and they say they have
Startling inventions" in their files.
"All we need now is the chance

Britoin Crooks Down

Britain's Labor government faced
crisis-a fight with labor. To crack
down on strike of some 10000 Lon
don dock workers which tied up 127
ships loaded with vital food and raw
materials for Britain, it asked King
George vi to proclaim a state of ma
tional emergency-the first such dec
laration to quell labor dispute since
the general strike of 1926.
Then the government moved troops
into the strike area and issued 10
sweeping DEGREES to get the shipments
moving. Under emergency powers.
strikers could be arrested without
warrants on suspicion that they were
trying to keep others from working.
but they could not be drafted to work
or prevented from peaceful picketing.
The strike issue was especially ini-
portant because Of Britain's slumping
economic position, which can be bet
tered only by an increase in foreign
trade. Prime Minister Attlee bluntly
called the wildcat walkout a demon
stration of Communist ''wrecking tac-
tics"

IN SEARCH OF A FUTURE.

Doubleday & Co. 194s. 27O pp.
$3.50.
The mounting tension Of the
cold war once again makes the
Middle East an extremely i'm
portant part Of American foreign
relations. A strategic border
land section, located near the
vastly rich Gil land is territory
over which the Soviet Union is
attempting to extend their con-
troll. The concern of the United
States Government about this is
cleatrly shown by the Truman
Doctrine in Turkey and the grow
ing American interest in Iran.
The only hidrance to U. S. action
in this area is in the social, eco
nomic and political conditions,
and these are what Hindus cele-
and these are what Hindus elab-
crates upon in his book. "In
