IS CAUSE OF WHEAT CRISIS, DUCE SAYS Italian Premier Gives Opening Address at First World Grain Conference Rome, March — (AP) — The world’s wheat crisis comes not so much from overproduction but from under-consumption, Premier Mus-| solini told the inaugural meeting of | the world grain conference here Thursday. . Therefore, he said, it would be rash indeed to call for limitation of cultivation of cereals when in the world there are all too many people poverty-stricken and grievously dis- | tressed.” | Bread, he said, has somewhat been replaced by more choice types of] food with improved standards of life) among the masse: . Forty-six nations, including the United States, are represented at the conference, which has as its task the solution of the problem of the| international wheat surplus. The| official delegates of the United | States are John A. Simpson of Okla-| , homa Ci president of the National Farmers Union, and C. W. Croes, of ‘Aberdeen, South Dakota, represent- ing the American Wheat Growers association, Among the specific problems the conference will attempt to solve are means for reducing world wheat production, stimulation of consump- tion, lowering the cost of transport and exchange, and the facilitation of agricultural credit. ‘At a preliminary executive meet- ing yesterday a sharp difference of opinion arose between representa- tives of Argentit Canada, Aus- tralia and the Uni States, on the one side, and European nations on the other, over the question of a preferential tariff. Europe moved for a tariff favoring European ex- porters which would virtually shut out foreign wheat, including Ameri- can, from Europe. “Today’s splendid meeting,” Pre- mier Mussolini said, “is a proof of the existence of good will, and the possibility of collaboration, among the states in a field in which the insuperable force of social progress should be kept far above the uni strained workings of purely in vidualist economic conception. The state of agriculture, he said, exercises “a determinative and pre- dominant influence” on general eco- nomic life. di The difficulty, he indicated, is not | over-production of wheat so much as under-consumption. “With the approved standard of life among the masses of town and country popula- tion,” he said, “bread has to some en given way to choicer types of ‘ood.” Whether the tendency of wheat production to outstrip the increase of population should be considered | a permanent phenomenon, Mussolini} said, should be decided before any decision to curtail production was reached. He characterized present roduction curtailment moves as, aving “an alarmist note.” | “This conference,” he said, “must regard not only the interest of pro- duction and markets but also the in- terest of the consumer.” Bismarck Doctor to Give Fargo Address Fargo, N.

A survey and a tions from a majority of the states give evidence that stability, the most important present desire of business, is slowly but steadily being achiev There are no spectacular indie tions of recovery in the financial communities, but where a month ago industry reported lay-offs and c' tailed production p dustry reports improvement. And it’s not only the spring urge, which nearly always increases busi- ness, as witness the federal reserve board’s findings that industrial out- put and volume of wage payments went up more than seasonally in February. | | Perhaps as pleasant a sign as any, in New York is the decreasing num- | ber of street corner apple salesmen. | In Memphis, Tenn., the mayor's unemployment’ relief committee, tinuing its apple selling conce: wood-cutting and other emergency | measures.
