THE WHEAT TRADE
COLLAPSE OF LONDON CONFERENCE AMERICA DISAPPOINTED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, May 13. The Secretary for Agriculture (Mr H. A. Wallace ) ; in a speech at Athens (Georgia) reviewing the collapse of the London Wheat Conference, said he was exceedingly disappointed with the mechanism of the Agriculture Adjustment Administration. It would be possible for the United States, he said, to meet with its surplus wheat any kind of competition that might bo established by other nations, and at the same time aid co-operating growers to get competitive prices for the portion of their crop domestically consumed. Mr Wallace advocated a tariff bargaining policy, which would protect the people as a whole against small and inefficient conducted businesses that maintain powerful lobbies “which know how to tiptoe around Washington.”
