BLIGHTING EFFECT
r.OfFKESENTRAIL
RATES STRESSED
Secretary Wallace Says
y Production Will Be
Forced Down
.
Associated Praia Report.
NEW YORK April 2s. Unless there
U a quick reduction in railroad freight
rates to "about pre-war levels" or
the prices of agricultural products In-
crease sufficiently to eaual the rate
1 advance there will be "profound re
adjustments" In agricultural nroduc-
Jjfrtton Involving; readjustments In In-'
. uusiry as well secretary Wallace of
the agricultural department declared
tn an address Friday before the New
York Academy of Political Sciences.
The "blighting effect" upon agricul-
ture of the present Increased level of
freight rates the secretary aald "can
' hardly be comprehended."
; - What he regarded as the probable
! effects If present freight rates con-
i tlnued "for any length of time" were
summarized by Secretary Wallace as
f follows:
J "First to favor the farmers of South
: America and Australia at Uie expense
of our own farmers and all the more
so because of the substantial decrease
lJn ocean rates.
"Second to keep prices on farm
; products In the large surplus produo-
' tng States at figures tower than are
t Justified by the Investment In land
' and equipment and cost of produc-
tion. "Third prolong the period of dls-
satisfaction among farmers and en-
i; courage advocatea of economlo fal-
tartan of nil wirli
"Fourth Improve the .position of
eastern truck and fruit growers but
add considerably to the cost of milk
and dairy products -tcase of the ad-
vanced prices of hay and coarse grains
necessarily shipped In from the west.
"Fifth gradualy shift Industrial en-
terprises westward nearer the sur-
plus food producing territory.
. "Sixth promote sectional rather
than national spirit."
Present freight rates Impose a tax
qn the farmer of the suiplus produc-
ing States Mr. Wallace said which
must Inevitably reduce shipments of
coarse grains and hay to the East and
already Is causing the fruit and truck
growers of the Far West and South-
west to turn to water transportation
and the wheat growers of the West
to use the shorter haul to water for
export gralna. He cited figures show-
ing that wheat exports passing
through gulf ports had Increased from
Z4 per cent' of the total in 1011 to
51 per cent tn 1811.
