pink tapers centered the tables,
from which tea was served. The

American Agricultural Is Faced
With Problem of Taking Stand oh
International Economic Compete
STILLWATER, Okl. (Special)
Like the man who had a bear by
the tail and didn't date go, out
was also afraid to hang on, Amer
ican agriculture is faced with the
problem of deciding whether or
not to let go of international eco
nomic competition.
Or, for those of a more literary
inclination, it is like the problem
of Hamlet, who hated the difficul
ties of his present situation but
feared to fly to other and unknown
perils.
No Easy Answer.
This problem is discussed by
Raymond D. Thomas, dean of the
school of commerce at the Okla
homa A. and M. college, in an ar
ticle written for Current Farm
Economics, published by the A. &
M. agricultural economics depart
ment The answer to the problem,
Dean Thomas says, cannot be
given hurriedly. His article gives
no readymade solution; but it does
present some of the subordinate
questions which must be answered
before a final decision is made.
"Agriculture in this country as
reached the 'settling down' stage,"
Dean Thomas points out. "The pe
riod of rapid expansion of the
farming area of the nation has
passed. This stage of development
had been reached when the World
war came along to afford unusual
ly attractive markets for cotton,
cereals and livestock products.
This resulted in another period of
expansion of farm production. The
war created an abnormal market
demand. After the war came the
usual worldwide economic collapse.
Farming for profit was caught in
stubborn economic trap. On the
one hand was a high debt wall, on
the other an abyss of ruinously low
prices.
More World Competition.
"Other important world event
have been working out since the
beginning of the twentieth century.
Vast regions in lower South Amer
ica, In western Canada, and in
Australia have been added to the
world's flE-ricultucal area. This
means that fameri in the United I National policies affecting agri
States will meet Increasing com- culture would undertake to main-
Eetition in the world markets. The tain a desirable balance between
lockades of the World war taught the economic status of the farmer
LOVERS OF MODERN MUSIC
will get a chance to hoar it at its best
on the week end following exams, when
(.leorge Gershwin, whose melodies always
seem to be hits, will bring his "jazzyni
phonic" orchestra to Omaha i'or an eve
lung's concert. Already several groups
have planned to make the trip to Omaha
to hear him in between exams and the
start of the new semester's work, al
though the director of the band refuses,
we hear, to play for a dance. At. least
his music will take your mind away from
campus work for a while.

the nations the need for a greater
degree of self-sufficiency, par
ticularly in food production. Ac
cordingly, national policies thruout
Europe have been pointed toward
the encouragement of agriculture.
Russia has taken on new economic ,
vieor since the revolution or mil
The Drosuects are that Russia is
prepared to trade surpluses of
cereals, timber, and certain min
erals for industrial capital for
buildine- her manufacturing and
commerce. Serious dislocations in
farmine have emereed within the
United States as a result of the
use of improved mechanical de
vices in farm operations.
"The world economic scen in
1933 is considerably changed from
the 1910 situation. It appears cer
tain that the old dogmas of laissez
faire, with its belief in a free in
ternational market, cannot be
blindly trusted to lead the naUon
toward sound policies for agricul
ture in the future."
Two Ways Open.
To meet these changed
tions, choice is to be made,
sneakine. between two
conditi
broadly general
lines of policy. One of them. Dean
Thomas says, would proceed about
as follows: Withdraw government
regulations from agriculture.
By a gradual reduction of our
own tariffs in exchange for cor
re.spond!ng action in olher nations,
place our agricultural industry and
our other basic industries again in
a free world market thus allow
ing competition to determine the
kind of production and producers
to surviv.
Other Plan Outlined.
The other course of action would
be:
Start with the existing economic
situation as it is, and plan toward
a national economic unity.
Agriculture would w viewed as
a part of the balanced national
economy, probably with the domes
tic market as the chief center of
concern.
and of other economic groups in
the nation.
Dangers On Both Sides.
"Far-reaching effects may flow
from whichever choice is made be
tween these two general policies,"
the dean comments.
Those who oppose ..he policy of
approaching a solution of prob
lems of agriculture primarily upon
a national basis maintain that to
do so will lose the foreign mar
kets for our surplus of agricul
tural products like wheat and cot
ton. "If a policy of economic
nationalism for agriculture takes
away or foreign market for sur
pluses," they ask, "what will be
the lot of farmers who now pro
duce nearly one-half of our cotton
crop or one-fifth of our wheat crop
which is exported?"
"Entanglements" Seen.
Questions from those on the
other side include:
If we are to adjust our agricul
tural production to world market
conditions, can our farmers avoid
the damaging setbacks which come
from major and minor disturb
ances in other lands?
Can American farmers have an
acceptable standard of living and
compete with agriculture in cer
tain foreign areas?
Cannot our own production of
agricultural surpluses be scaled
down over a period of years (by
some kind of benefit payment plan
like the present Agricultural Ad
justment Act) to a basis approxi
mating our domestic demand ?
Is not the problem of the sub-
marginai or displaced farmer very
largely the problem of submar
ginal land, and is not the whole
problem one of land utilization and
of occupational distribution of
population ?
Two Types of Farming.
Must not these large problems
of land utilization and occupational
displacement be attacked as na
tionl problems?
May it not be discovered that
two types of farming will develop
self-sufficient or make a living
farming, and commercial or profit
farming ?
Is not economic stability and se
curity for farmers and farm fami
lies the objective which our na
tional policy toward agriculture
should seek to achieve, and can se
curity and stability be realized if
our whole farming industry is tied
too closely to the international
situation ?

ference to any team work. The
judges were also allowed their
own discretion as to what consti
tutes effective debating, but
thought and delivery both in con
structive and refutation were o be
taken into consideration.
Open Season Jan. 29.
An affirmative team of Irving
Hill and Eugene Pester will repre
sent Nebraska in the first inter
collegiate debate of the semester
on Jan. 29 and later arguments
have been scheduled with Grinnell
college about the first of February.
Other definite arrangements have
been completed with Morningsidn
and Iowa State college at a lat?r
date when they will send squads
on tours of Kansas and Nebraska.
The only trip it seems the Ne
braska speakers will be able to
make this year is to the annual
debate tournament, sponsored by
Delta Sigma Rho, honorary for
ensic society. This competition will
take place about the first of March.
Other engagements away from
home are prevented because of the
drastic reduction in the budget for
debate activity.
Turnout Unsatisfactory.
"The turnout was not what it
should have been," according to
Prof. H. A. White, debate coach,
"tho the quality of the work was
gratifying. There are not enough
men taking an interest in the
work."
"We had had tentative plans for
a later tryout if we secured enough
engagements to warrant it." con
tinued Professor White, "but with
other schools in the same straits
as us it has been impossible to
schedule sufficient meetings. How
ever there is the possibility of ap
pearances on the proposition Re
solved: That the .United States
should adopt the British system of
radio control and operation which
would necessitate a tryout f r new !
teams."
