As a consequence agriculture was prevented from sharing in the general industrial ‘prosperity of the markets and shrunken incomes, farmers were forced into a depression that endured 20 years. The farmer found himself unable to sell his produce for its real worth, in relation to the price levels obtaining in industrial production. In other words, he exchanged at a loss the goods he produced for the goods he consumed. In this situation the farmer was no.less than subsidizing the buyers of his products. To the extent that he was unable to make a reasonable profit, and thus unable to keep his farm in top condition—maintain soil fertility, make proper replacements and improvements of buildings and equipment—the farmer advatnced a form of subsidy payment to those who bought from him at the expense of his capital investment and the earnings of his labor and that of hts employees.

RED CROSS FLIES OVER HUMP WITH MEDICAL AID WiIASHINGTON,, D. C. Sept. 24— How American Red Cross workers have helped China’s war tried millions by flying medical supplies over the Hump is revealed in reports received at national headquarters here throughout the summer as cheering Pacific war news eased communication difficulties in the far east. Early in the war the American Red Cross undertook to ‘push as much material ‘medical aid _ into China as the limited éommunications would allow. It was the belief of Red Cross civliian authorities that more good could be accomplished with medicines than with any other form of relief—especially with plane cargo space limited to the barest necessities. Competition for precious’ cargo space was not the only trouble that beset American Red Cross in its efforts to take medicines to the Chinese, according to Arthur C. Calvin, director of Red Cross civilian relief in China. Inflation Troubles Cited Imagine what happens when costs of living rise 2000 per cent in eight years and: when a nation’s last overland road to the sea is cut off. Once the supplies were put over the Himalayas via plane into the the Red Cross ‘workers had to battle distribution troubles complicated by warehousing dificulties, inflation, black markets and the usual perils of the open road in a war torn land.
