“MUST CHANGE MIND”
AMERICANS AND WAR DEBTS.
RELATION TO WORLD MARKETS. ADVICE TO FARMERS. (United Press Association—Copyright). (Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, August s. A message from Stone vide (Mississippi) states that adjustment of foreign •war debts to stimulate the export trade in farm products was advocated today by tho Secretary of Agriculture (Mr Wallace) before a mass meeting of Mississippi Delta farmers. “If we want to sell our farm products abroad in somewhat near the old quantities, we shall have to change our minds about debts,” Mr Wallace said. “If we are going to insist on payment of debts we shall have to abandon hope of a healthy export trade in farm products for a long time. We need more realistic thinking about these matters of tariffs and foreign debts than u e have thus far had. I know no group so implacable'on this matter of foieign debts, for example, and at the same time equally determined to force faun products on the world market as the farmers. We cannot eat our cake and have it too.” • /
