some people think necessary. I do hope that although you have not 

 discussed these things here you will do so afterwards. The organisation 

 of the farm affects the workers on the farm, but does not affect the

 affects us all, and vitally. Mr. Clay suggested international agreements 

 to organise the production of the world so that every part produced

 peace and international agreements ? Is it better to take that risk, 

 or to adopt some otherwise uneconomic methods to make us inde- 

 pendent of international alliances ? The demand must come from you 

 if anything is to be done.
