Farm Bloc Warfare
International For Economic
WASHINGTON, July 2 (UP).—The world's largest agricultural nations the United States, Argentina, Canada and Australia-are being considered by govern- ment economists as a potential nucleus for an international farm bloc to wage economic warefare against the Axis.
Economists here are studying preliminary plans for es- tablishing such a bloc. While the war continues it would help the British to blockade the Axls by declining to ship food to Europe; after the war it would be designed to meet the barter system of trade.
These four great farm nations have a virtual monopoly on the world's surplus food supply- wheat, maize, mutton, wool and hides-19 well as .countless minerals.
