Wallace Urges Lower Freight for Farmer Agriculture Suffer* From Lack of Balance With Manufac tured Goods, Secretary Decla res. Washington, Aug. 20.—Thousands fof American farmers will go bank rupt with wheat selling at consid erably less than cost of production. Secretary Wallace declared today, while thousands of others will be able to hold on only by the most grinding economy. If the present plane of prices of commodities other than agriculture is to be maintained, lie added, then, to have general pros perity, prices of farm products must be increased. Eastern railroads could help by making substantial reductions in freight rates on agricultural prod ucts, especially If destined for export, Mr. Wallace asserted, pointing out, however, that until agricultural in j dustry and commerce are brought , ' into a more normal relationship, I i acute agricultural problems will de velop one after the other.” "The ruinously low price of wheat is not a new agricultural disease," said the secretary in a statement. "It ris just one more acute symptom of the general trouble from which agri culture is suffering. The disease it self is the distorted relationship be tween prices of farm products and prices of other commodities. The sooner the people engaged In commerce and industry frankly rec ognize the trouble, the lietter it, w h ile for all of us.
