Hyde, to the president on the condition of agriculture is none to cheerful and his policy of constructive adjustment will, not be acceptable to some of the radicals. The Mcretar yei ph sixes . intai y . reduction of agricultural average as one of the main courses to pursue in correcting the evils of 6veiproduction in agriculture. The secretary does net want compulsory production control. He does not even mention the e<;.uili ’;»tion'export debenture plans advocated by some to bring griculture out of the doldrums • The report is broad in scope. It describes the causes for the sharp decline in prices of agricultural products in away that is readily understood. For instance, the opening lines of the report should always be in the minds of reformers of agriculture. They are as follows: ire is not. separate but an intregal part >f the world's economic system, and it is always deeply affected by financial, industrial apd social conditions at. home and abroad.. .“it is more affected by foreign Conditions than is American industry, because it depends livre heavily'on the foreign market. "When any country from year to year has an exportable surplus of a commodity or group <>f comihoditi e*. the’prices realized f*-« the export surplus determine the prices obtainable for the whole country. Farmers' should heed the words of the secretary on overproduction and efficiency. He says: '. “It is a gross eiror ' efficiency in agriculture leads it evltably overproduction. in tends, on the contrary. V> promote a good adjustment between supply and de mand, because. it dis outages wasteful competition It is time to rev.-e the crude notion that only-a continually expanding agriculture can be a profitable '’griculture." Advantages of the tariff are told in this fashion by Mr. Hyde: “As we produce less for export the tariff .on agricultural products will become more effective. Prices can not be higher at h<me than .do ■ ad ur .cotariffs Stand between' the domestll and the foreign market Tariff protection for agriculture is part of our national policy N>> fiscal policy can guarantee agricultural profits in time of depression. A tariff is justified if it diminishes losses. By. this test the tariff act of 1930 is already a demonstrated benefit.” In his objection to compulsory. reduction, Mr. Hyde says.: “The doctrine that production can be better controlled by law than by the judg , rnent and decision of. producers is probably repugnant to our Constitution'Snd certainly repugnant to the character of our economic -■. <

jlt would certainly be opposed. It ■ ' would also be inflexible. Law making could not keep pace with market de- . xelopments at home and abroad.’ ■ Eventually the control laws would j be ignored." “Long life is probable for the family-sized farm because the naI ture of farming does not admit of the standardization,necessary to the ' economical employment of large lair bor forces,” is Hyde’s method of re • futing the arguments that mechaniI cation will eventually bring . to k 1 end family, farming. 1 Hyde predicts that tax reform- • have barely begun. He explained I that: “Property taxes rest pi j ly on real estate: hence farmers ar < other real estate owners are gene: | ally required to pay mote than then f ' fair’share. This injustice is coming to be 1 widely recognized and state ■ I taxes are' proposed, as a partial, ■' remedy.” I ' Hyde also wants a National lai d policy to discourage ill-advised ahd unnecessary land expansion.
