(Our Advertiser* Are Assured of Results)
Exports from U. S. to South
America Reach $329,000,000
Exports from the United
to South America amounted to
approximately $329,000,000 in
calendar year 1939, or an increase
of nearly 10% over the preceding
year. This is the largest figure
for many years and helps to offset
the decline in exports to Europe
resulting from the war,
“This increase in exports to
South America is of great import
ance to the American farmer,”
s * ,a * es *-he Chilean Nitrate Educa
tional Bureau. “Europe has had
to shift its purchases here from
agricultural products to military
supplies. South America, on the
other hand, is not only buying
m ore agricultural products from
the United States, but also more
industrial products, thus streng
thening the farmer's domestic
market.”'
It is pointed out that the South
must export about half of its
cotton and half of, its tobacco,
but that the South cannot sell
to other nations unless it also
buys from them. Foreign coun
tries can only obtain American
dollars by selling their own non
competitive products to the!
United States.
"Our commerce with Chile is
a good illustration of this,” the
Bureau states, "Total exports
from the United States to Chile in
1939 amounted to $26,789,000,
which is by far the largest figure
for the past ten years. One of
the factors which made this ex
port trade possible was the sale
of Chilean nitrate of soda in this
country, amounting last year to
a little over 630,000 tons,
To reserve the American mar- |
ket exclusively for Americans
means rum to the farmer, accord
ing to a recent statement by Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace,
as follows: j
“Apparently many people in
the Northern States would like to
prevent any imports whatever into
the United States. Their battle
cry is the American market for,
the American producer! This !
bat * le cry ro ^ trippingly off the
to ngue. but it means death to the
cotton farmer and the most ser

WASHINGTON
SNAPSHOTS
Washington is now playing
around with another version of
the idea of helping the farmer by
increasing the cost of living. It
hasn’t made much of a hit with
Congress so far.
The new plan centers around
that most popular Washington
weapon—a new tax. But recog
nizing that the word “tax” is
slightly unpopular now, the plan
ners call it a “certificate plan.”
The way it .. would . . work . is . this:! ... ,

modify would be required to buy
a specified number of federal cer
tificates when he bought the farm
goods. This “certificate” tax mon
ey would in turn be passed along,
less administrative expenses, to
farmers who reduced production
or otherwise "co-operated" with
the Federal farm program.
Naturally the man who bought
the “certificates” would have to
add their cost to the farm goods
when he resold them. So that the
price of the farm goods to the ul
timate consumer would increase
again.
That might sound all right in
itself, but to a lot of economists
it just , doesn't make sense. In the
first place, there are about nine
million unemployed who don’t
have a lot of money. When the
price of things they buy at the
store goes up, naturally they can
buy less. So the farmer’s market
is curtailed.
Two mysteries have taken over
Washington. One is the President’s
Caribbean cruise, and the other
results from the application of the
alphabet to the budget.
Newspapermen, who are usual
ly Pretty capable at solving mys
teries, are still trying to find out
why all the secrecy surrounding
the President’s cruise. They, like
the State Department, are still
puzzled by all the stories about
er governments on the high seas.
The best they can figure is that
the President just wanted to give
the newspaper “boys” a good story
to justify their trip with him to
Pensacola, the embarkation point
of his cruise.
It is Congressmen, on the other
hand, who are mystified by the
alphabetical budget. When Secre
tary Edison was testifying before
the House Appropriations Com
mittee on the Navy’s Appropria
tion bill, he began talking about
an “A” budget and a “B” budget.
One Congressman made the off

new agencies weren't being creat

lack of use so they are now ap{
ing it to appropriations.
On the record there were s i
remarks as these: “What is
‘A’ budget and what is the 1
budget and what is the neces! I
for presenting two budgets v
different identifications?” A I
“Are we considering the ‘A’ bu
et or the ‘B’ budget, or both bu« i
ets?” And: “This matter of
budgets and ‘B’ budgets intrig vj I

The explanation was that
“A” budget is supposed to co i
