Show UTAH LABOR NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, DECEMBER 25. 1936. FARMERS ASKED TO ACCEPT INDUSTRIAL IMPORTS AS HELP TO PEACE Pasadena, Calif. The farmers of the United States can make a contribution to world peace by being willing to accept small increases in the imports of agricultural products, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace tolc members of the American Farm Bureau' federation, meeting in an nual convention here December 1). Calling the prevention of war a fundamental problem in achieving agricultural security, the Secretary said that farmers the world over like to talk about peace, but too often they support highly nationalistic trading policies which inevitably lead to war. Farmers furnish their sons as cannon fodder in time of war, and suffer far more from the inevitable post war deflation than any other tlass. Farm hatred of war is so great. I am sure that as farmers come to understand more and more the fundamental requirements of a safe peace for the United States, they will be willing to make their contribution. The danger of the United States getting into a serious war comes from the fact that we ex port goods to Europe and when war comes one side or the other interferes with that trade."

If any large numbers are thus taken into the craft unions, their officials begin to fear that the mass - production workers might take control and alter policies in their own interests. Consequently they seek to curtail their representation as against that of the original craft group to keep them on probation, etc. SALT LAKE MILL COMPANY Members of the Car-o- n AUTO UNION GAINS MEMBERS IN ATLANTA County Auto Mechanics union and owners and operators of garATLANTA, Ga.
