)ARr(X)NIST Hcrblock here 

 presents simply but power- 



fully the nub of the nation's 



economic problems marked by sur- 

 plus crops, iow tarm prices, liiqh 

 prices for industrial t;oods. closed 

 factories, unemployment, waste of 

 man power and poverty. 



.Such understandint; and enlicht- 

 ened thought on the farm problem 

 in a bic citv dailv is so unusual as to 

 be worthy of special mention. What 

 progress we as a nation could make 

 toward soKinu our problems if in- 



telhi^ent discernment and rc.ison 

 rather than prejudice, selfishness, 

 and partisan politics were the rule. 



.Maxirv, iin procliulion of indus- 

 Iri.il coods at siibslanliallv lower 

 prices than now exist to match the 

 surplus production o( farm crops at 

 present low prices, would restore cm- 

 plovment to millions, enable farmers 

 to biiv hundreds of millions more 

 dollars of fattorv products, and 

 brmu alxiiit a substantial increase in 

 consumption ot farm products.
