AGRICULTURAL CRISIS
THE ONLY SOLUTION A PROFESSOR’S IDEA LONDON, September 10. Professor James Watson, addressing the British Association for the Advance, ment of Science, said that the present agricultural crisis could have been mitigated bad the nations realised that the cheap producer in new countries must displace the dear producer in the older ones. “ Russian agricultural planning is right, though its execution is clumsy,” he said. “ The danger of planning is that it may be twisted to increase the production. of one country at the expense of others. Yet planning is the only solution of agricultural distress. I do not think there could be a large increase in the number of employed in British agriculture without considerable cost to the consumers, but fanning in Britain could at least compete with countries overseas if the small holdings were replaced by ‘ factory farms.’ ”
