THE AGRICULTURAL CRISIS
“RUSSIAN PLANNING IS RIGHT.”
SMALT, HOLDINGS ADVOCATED.
By Telegraph—Press Assn—Copyright. London, Sept. 10.
- Professor James Watson, addressing the British Association for the Advancement. of Science, said the present agricultural crisis could have been mitigated had the nations realised that the cheap producer in new countries must displace the dear producer in the older ones. “The Russian agricultural planning is right, though the 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 that there.; could be a large increase in the numbers of employed in British agriculture without considerable cost to consumers, but farming in Britain could at least compete with overseas producers if small holdings replaced ‘factory farms’,” concluded Professor Watson. . .
