FARMERS ARE FACING
PRICE-COST SQUEEZE

North Carolina farmers are not
expected to be as prosperous in
1858 as in recent years. The price
cost squeeze will be tighter.
This statement on the agricul-
tural outlook comes from H. B.
James, head of N. c. State Col
lege's Department of Agricultural
Economics. He adds that supplies
needed for production will be ade-
quate but costs will be slightly
higher. Prices received will be
about the same-in some cases
lower, others slightly higher
Labor, says James, will be scarce
and wages will be higher. Across
the country, another 100000 agri-
cultural workers will go into in
dustrial employment. The armed
services will take their quota. The
labor situation may be acute neal
new industrial developments.
J m s recommendation tc
farmers:
Adjust farming operations to
economic on use of labor, mech
anize production, balance crops
and livestock, adopt better pro-
duction practices, increase size of
business, simplify work, and i'm
prove labor relations.
Increase feed supply to replace
inventories reduced by drought.
Add new enterprises where need
ed to increase returns as much as
possible.
Take full advantage of newer
technology.
Generally, says James, 1853 will
be another year of prosperity for
the country as a whole. Prices are
high, and we have full employ
ment. Although some slackening of
economic activity could take place
toward the end of the year, no ma
jor or drastic decline appears in
the outlook for 1853. Defense ex-
penditures already planned are OF
sufficient size to maintain bust
ness activity and employment at a
high level, though not necessarily
at the present level.

C. Munitions Board charger, Di-

d. Armed Services Textile and

receive 10. 5l54.4, June IS, 1852.
This sets up on agency to buy
clothing and textiles for all the

the past-the Army for itself and
Air Force and the Navy in the

thermore, sthe agencies competed
with each other in the same mar
kets.
E. Air Forces Supply directive
of March 8, 1852.
This stops the Air Force from
setting up a supply system for
common items. Billions of dollars
will be saved by this action.

ties in the Federal Government"
and "Streamlining the Department
Of Defense though endorsed by the
subcommittee could not be cleared
in time to be printed as documents
The report on Commercial or
Industrial-type Activities" points
out that the Federal agencies are
spreading out more and more into
such activities as coffee manufac-
turing, spectacle production, paint
and rope production, bakeries, tree
nurseries, fish hatcheries, ship.
building, wood preserving and
many others.
Obviously, if the military agen-
cies keep expanding into industrial
fields we will have military social
ism.
Also if the Government dries up
tax sources how will the Federal,
State and local governments be
supported except by borrowing and
deficit spending;
The second report on Stream
lining the Department of Defense
makes major recommendation on
amending the National Security
Act. 1t also has detailed recon-
mendations which if followed
would save our people many mil
lions of dollars and improve our
defense.
1t had been my hope as a Dem
ocrat who believes in defense and
solvency" that the reports would
be made public. 1t is now my hope
as a good American that the in
coming committee will give the
American people the benefit of oul
work as soon as possible.
Fortunately, a letter from Sec
rotary Lovett to the President
which was released on January s
endorses many of the recommen-
dations of the subcommittee in
GLIDING the need to change the 2 /
Hat Chief of Staff arrangement |
and the establishment of an AS /.
sistant Secretary for Supply which
was covered by the bill HR $3.50 f.
which l introduced last session and
have reintroduced as HR 1922 in
the present session.
Let US hope that these recon- f.
mendations get action soon by
those in power. |
