For example, the value of im- ports by 44 per cent last year comp: ed with 1946, whereas the actual volume of imports in- creased only 14 per cent. It has also'to be remembered that last winteér British industry wa rose ser ort trade is not the whole story. kes of policy, and failure gp the part of the iment to take decistve action to conserve fast disappearing reserves of borrowed funds. For instance, the attempt to restc sterling convertibility which led to a run on inexcusable official bungling. It is also true that the government's program of internal improvements has diverted labor and scarce materials from export in- and hampered efforts to weach scheduled goals. In short, the British have been living beyond their means on borrowed funds and bhave failed to practice as great self-denial as their really desperate financial plight made imperativz. Self-critics are usually the harshest critics. How- ever, there is something in the severe judgment of the London Economist that the government has not talked nor until recently behaved as though the cris's were serious. The journal adds that the British spend- ing record shows the country to have been living like affected But tha dustries export an improvident family that, failing to make both ends | meet, first spends its accumulated capital, then bor- rows from its friends and ends by pawning the furni- ture. To our way of thinking this analogy is ather misleading, since a bankrupt country is warranted in takir Nevertheless, the errors and indulgences justify the careful review of the use of nder the Marshall Plan that is scheduled isintegration of the funds u “Makind Land” “Making Land” ing recent y s, when farmers have repeatedly \ production records in spite of decreased man- and older machinery, they have also found time to increase productive acreage by clearing, draining and irrigating land. In a recent issue of “The Agri- cultur; ation,” published by the Bureau of Agri- cultur Economics of the United States Dezpartment of Agriculture, H. H. Wooten gives an interesting sum- mary of the situation. At the present rate farmers are “naking” more than a million acres a year of crop land and pasture land Until well land for crops consuming process of stumps, blasting first plowing Now powerful tractors caterpillar-tread bulldozers and other heavy machinery developed during the war have -d to peacetime uses.

More than 1000000 additional acres were irrigated in 1944 than in 1940, bringing the to 2600000 acres. According to Mr. Wooten, ly 40,000,000 new acres of crop land and pasture have been added in the past twenty-five years. Much of this increased acreage has been developed on older farms rather than in frontier regions. New machinery has resulted in the rearrangement of fields and fences for efficient plowing and cultivation. 'The average size of farms has increased almost fifty acres in the past quarter century, from 148 to 195.
