= ! ASKS LOWER RATES ON FARM FREIGHT Secretary Wallace Tells Cab- inet 25 Per Cent Decrease Is Necessary. A 25 per cent reducton at least in freight rates on agricultural products, especially on those intended for ex- port, was recommended by Secretary |/ Wallace of ‘the Department of Agri- culture to President Coolidge ‘and the cabinet yesterday. Secretary Wallace also recommend- ed the establishment of a government agricultural export commission or corporation, with broad powers, to ald the farmers in marketing their prod- uctg abroad The Secretary expressed little faith in the efcacy of arbitrary govern- ment price fixing of any' onecrop, suggested by some members of Con- gress as a means of alding the wheat farmer at this time. Higher Tariff Suggested. A suggestion was also made at the ®abinet meeting that tarlff rates on wheat be increased to 45 cents per bushel, but both proposals—to lower freight rates and to ralse dutles—con- tained certaln features which were said to huve brought some objection by administration officials. Secretary Wallace in presenting a tesume of the domestic and world wheat situation declared the govern- ment had a very definite responsibil- ity, not only to wheat farmers, but to the farmers in general; first, because the country cannot hope to have the eneral prosperity it desires until it brice’ relationships between agri- culture, industry, commerce and labor ave restored, and second, because the government ' itself s in part re- | sponsible for the difficulties under |2nd holdiag of pace on din which the farmers are now working. | NERINS [¥Reat OF WY oiher crop ‘Wheat Only Symptom. said, buj unless production of that Attention must be given to. the|crop were controlled it would aggra- condition of agriculture as a whole,” vate the situation.

The real problem is fo re-establish falr ratios between agrjiculture and other things.” Secret. Wallace declared he had little faith /in the efficacy of arbitrary price fixing of any one crop, because even if It sheuld afford temporary it /would almost certainly a ghort time make conditions for the farmer.
