CHANGING OPINION
U.S. AND WAR DEBTS OUTSPOKEN MINISTER (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Received August 9,2 p.m.) STQNEYILLE (Mississippi), Ang. 8. The adjustment of foreign war debts to stimulate export trade in farm products was 'advocated to-day by Mr. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, before a mass meeting of Mississippi delta fanners. “If we want to sell farm products abroad in somewhat near the old quantities, then we shall have to change our minds about debts,” Mr. Wallace said. “If we are going to insist on the payment of debts, we shall have to abandon hope of a healthy export trade in farm products for a long time. Wo need more realistic thinking about these matters of tariffs and foreign debts than we have thus far had. I know no group so implacable on this matter of foreign debts, for example, and at the same time equally determined' to force farm products on the world market, as the farmers. We cannot eat our cake and have it too.”
