Show FARMERS CAN DETERMINE COUNTRY'S TREND Farmers can be a powerful force in removing hindrances to the successful functioning of the economic eco-nomic system of the nation, Emil Schram, president of the New York Stock Exchange told the annual an-nual meeting of the American Society So-ciety of Farm Managers and Rural Rur-al Appraisers, in Chicago. He declared "the farmer must face the fact that there is a worker work-er movement and the trend toward a socialized state." Indiana-born, Mr. Schram owns and operates a sizable farm near the town of Peru in the Hoosier state, and spends much time there in its management. Farm Hands May Insist . . . "We see it all about us what we do for the industrial worker we must eventually do for the farm hand," Mr. Schram said. "If farmers are to accept sweeping guarantees against crop losses, sooner or later the farm hand will insist that the benefit he passed along in part, if not in whole." All political thinking today regarding re-garding our agricultural economy centers on the object of maintaining maintain-ing full industrial employment and a high level of national income, in-come, he explained. |
