Disastrous Farm
Land Boom Coming
Says Sec. Wickard
WASHINGTON, Au«. 3 OP) —
Another disastrous farm lanu boom
is developing, Seeretary of Agri-
culture Claude R. Wickard said
today as he urged would-be pur-
chasers to use extra money to re-
tire debts or to purchase war
bonds rather than to buy farm
real estate at present inflated
values.
“The rate at which farm land
prices are rising, coupled with the
large number of sales, are unmis-
takable sigr.'; that an inflationary
land spree is under \»ay in many
regions," he said.
The secretary’s comments were
made in connection with an agri-
culture department survey show-
ing war markets for farm com-
modities have boosted land values
an average of 42 per cent above
the average prevailing in the 1935-
39 period.
Wickard aid that about a third
of the farm purchases are being
made by city people, particularly
war workers seeking a place to go
when the war ends. In too many
cases, he added, the city people
and war workers, as well as farm-
ers, are paying too much. By “too
much,” the secretary meant a prior
greater than the long-time earning
power of the land at farm com-
modity prices lov or than thosr
prevailing under war-time condi-
tior.'-.
“People who go into debt to hit- I
farms af inflated prices,” he said,
“stand to lose in the long run j
through foreclosure or economic
ruin, when peacetime conditions
return to the farm eummodity-
and-real estate market.”
Wickard, on a number of occa-
sions, has recommended govern-
mental measures designed to put r
brake on rising land values. Those
outlined by him as worth consid-
ering include. (1) Restriction o'
credit; (2> establishment of ceil-
ing prices on land and the issu-
ance of permits to purchase; (3
imposition of a transfer tux, and
(4) imposition of a capital gain:
re ale tax.
The secretary himself advocated
the capital gains tax under which
a stiff special tax would be as-
sessed against profits made on thr
resale of farm real estate acquired
during the war emergency period
Bills providing for - rich a tax have
been introduced in Congress by
Senator Gillette (D.-Iowa), but nr
action has been taken on them
The department survey said fa
vorable farm commodity price an
income levels and growing accu
mutations of funds available In-
land purchase are the basic far
tors stimulating the advance ir
farm values.
A factor that . worrying Wick
ard is the existence of extra cash
in the hands of farmers The de
partment savs demand deposits o'
country banks in 20 leading farm
states in Mav were up more that
25 per cent from the previous vea
and at a level more than three
times that of 1930. Tlv extra cash
could he used, the secretary savs
to bid land prices even higher.

by JAMES MAR! OW and GEORGE ZIEIKF
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3 —
Southerners have shouted lnudt t I
about “white supremacy” over ne- j
">roes but there is plenty of evi- j
dence to show that doctrine is j
nracticed m dely in the rest of the ;
country
The strike of Philadelphia tran-
sit workers against hiring of negro
'rivers by the transportation com-
any there followed bitter com-
nlain’ : of outright discrimination
in that northern city.
Ttys tells some of the story:

Committee 'FEPO has pending
about 2,111 complaints of racial
discrimination.
The FE’PC was created to pre- **lt' stale went
■ ent discrimination on racial or successive day
-eligious grounds in war indus- j degrees or
•ries and thus, it'- advocates ar- 1
"ued, make the best use of the
nation's manpower.
Of the total of 2.111 eomnlaints,
561 are in the South. The remain- ■
•ig 1.550 complaints have been
reads.
The heaviest load of complaints
has come from New York, Phila-
delphia. Detroit, Chicago, Los An-
geles, San Francisco, Detroit and
St, Louis.
