U.S. Farmers Told No War Boom Is On Horizon

DES MOINES, Iowa-The American farmer WILL warned repeatedly and in very gertalä terms, that he must not look to the war in Europe to solve his price, and surplus problem.

Unless this country itself be comes involved in the conflict, speaker, after speaker at the fourth annual National Farm In- stitute almost literally shouted; there will be no war boom, no expansion of exports of American farm, products,

They listened intently, with understanding and appreciation, and took an active part in the round-table discussions.

Dr. John D. Black, Professor of Economics at Harvard University, pointed out the essential differen- ces between the situation today and that preceding and during the first year of the other war.

Before, he said. Europe was not prepared., whereas this time it stocked up on many necessary materials, including 'foodstuffs. Before, he held, Europe depend- ed on this country for much of Its farm produce, but now the allied empires have become largely self-sufficient:

GREAT DROP IN COAL OUTPUT

The world output of coal in 1938 decreased by 100,000,000 tons, according to the 18th annual report of the Secretary for Mines, issued as

a Blue Book recently. Other points from the report were:

EXPORTS DECREASED The British output at 227,000- 000 tons was nearly 14,000,000 less than in 1937.

World coal exports decreased by 19,000,000, tons,
