Answer 'Damping' Criticism. The policy-makers recognize that their plans are subject to criticism a export "dumping." They defend the plans in this way: the world is hungry and needs more food than ever has been produced. Further, other countries cannot expect the United States to withdraw completely complete-ly from the world markets and cut its production while other countries expand both their world markets and production. They add further that there need not be cut-throat competition in a market that actually needs more than is being produced. They say unnecessary price cutting and battling bat-tling for world markets can be eliminated elim-inated through 'international agreements. agree-ments. The plans envision, of course, the maintenance of "ever-normal" granary gran-ary reserves of such basic products as cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco and possibly, some other products as a protection against drouth, war or other emergencies. Postwar Food Export Planned Work Out Program to Send Products Abroad, Avert Surplus Here. WASHINGTON. Postwar agricultural agri-cultural policies are being formulated formulat-ed by the government to establish a more aggressive export program designed to push extra production into world markets instead of allowing al-lowing it to pile up in this country under government ownership. These plans do not envision the return of the rigid production-control programs of the' 30s under which attempts were made to reduce farm production to the country's own needs and to the small quantities which could be sold abroad at our prices which, in the case of most products, were held above world levels lev-els by government action. Under the programs of the 30s huge surpluses sur-pluses were accumulated by the government Instead, the United States would employ a broad two-price system under un-der which production not needed at home would be priced to meet competition com-petition in world markets. See High Production. Those drawing up the policies believe be-lieve it will be possible to maintain domestic farm production at a level considerably higher than before the war, but possibly not as high as tfiat reached during the present wa They believe it will be possible to maintain a higher level of industrial employment and hence a broader domestic demand. Further, pricing of our products in foreign markets to meet competition would allow larger quantities of ' such basic commodities as cotton, wheat, tobacco, lard and pork products prod-ucts and possibly citrus and dried fruits to move into world markets. Broadly speaking, limits of production pro-duction would be only those dictated by farming practices which would protect the soil and other natural resources from injury and by the availability of funds to finance the two-price system. The two-price system could be handled in either of two ways or a combination of the two. Under one the government would assure producers pro-ducers parity or near parity prices on their full production. The export portion would be sold at cut-rate prices, with the government taking the loss. Under the other producers would be assured parity or near parity prices on the domestically consumed portion of the production. |
