Meredith on agricultural prosperity and national policy
The address before the New York Advertising Club by NR. Meredith of Des Moines, former secretary of agriculture, predicts 1923 will be more prosperous for farmers and business than 1922, with 1924 even better. He urges Congress to cut freight rates and support a faster St Lawrence waterway and Mississippi improvements, to bring seaport advantages to Great Lakes cities. He notes Iowa grain demand, corn scarcity in Nebraska and Missouri, and calls for early action on transportation costs. Major Hylan and Chicago’s Mayor prove interest in Hearst as the 1924 Democratic nominee.
