U. S. Food Expert Sees
World Peace Maturing
In Bumper Grain Crop
1 BY GAYNOR MADDOX
’r’ NEA Staff Correspondent :
“NEW YORK. — (NEA) — Enormous grain crops all
over the world may prevent another major war, in the
opinion of Harry A. 'Bullis, chairman of the board of
General Mills and a director of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States.
If war can be avoided for a few more months, Bullis
says, big crops now maturing will- do more to preserve
peace than all the diplomatic double talk and military
sabre rattling can accomplish, : . i
t The prospect of these bumper
crops, he thinks, may have much
'to do with the more optimistic
reports now coming out of Eu
rope on the Berlin situation. Men
are in much, better psychological
and emotional mood to sit down
around a table and talk over
their differences in friendly fash
jon, he suggests, when they are
adequately fed and know that
their families and their constitu
ents are getting enough to eat.
«1t looks to me,” said Bullis,
“as if old Mother Nature is tak
ing a hand in healing our war
torn world. This year she is pres
paring to give mankind enough
to eat. 1 hope that, as a result,
we can now make some progresé
toward reconciling the ideologies
of East and West.
«What I saw in Europe last
year, at this time, and what I
have learned since from every
informed source, convinces me
that the European’ diplomatic pic
ture has been improved by new
crops that are almost up to pre
war level, If we get by this cal
endar year without war, then we
will be headed definitely toward
international peace for a long
time.”
The peak of the American
grain export program was reach
ea 1n Juiy, says Bullis, whose
company is one of the biggest
buyers of raw food materials and
sellers of processed foods. Less
of our own near-record crop will
be sent abroad this year than
was the case last year.
With a wheat crop of more
than a billion bushels in sight,
and big yields of other grains,
the falling off in exports will
make much more available for
both human and animal con
sumption at home.
Nevertheless, Bullis does not
expect meat prices to decline for
at least a year. He does not dis
pute others who say it will be
longer than that.
The reason is that the nation’s
animal population has been cut
by the high price of meat and the
high cost of feeding. Depart
ment of Agriculture figures show
that the number of cattle on the
range dropped from 85 millions
to 78 millions from the begin
ning of 1944 to the first of this
vear. The number of hogs fell
from 84 millions to only 55 mil
lions. The number of sheep and
lambs on the range declined from
51 millions to 35 millions and the
number on feeding from 6.5
millions to less than five mil
lions.
Short grain crops, high prices,
and export needs have contrib
uted to this weakening of the

nation’s meat backlog, and the
big new crops are expected to
encourage a building up of the
food animal populations, as well
as that of poultry.
But Bullis points out that it
takes time to build up the herds
and flocks, and meat prices can
not be expected to drop substan
tially until that is done.
Bullis is anxious to see the
world food market stabilized for
the sake of both the industry and
its customers. But he is opposed
to the Five-Year International
Wheat Agreement proposed Dby
President Truman for three rea
gons:
First, because Russia and Ar
gentina, among the world’s
greatest wheat growers, are not
parties to the proposed agree
ment.
Second, because the plan in
volves price-fixing.
Third, because he is doubtful
whether it would stabilize prices
in this country.

Barry suspects that the gin's

keeping house for him. The un

Practically immediately, the
