Mollin Ayers Trade Pacts Harm Farmers Permanently
In Angeles on April 15 F E Mollin of Denver, secretary of the American Livestock Association, warned that under reciprocal trade treaty programs farm exports decline while agricultural exports rise, a shift that may cost the farmer a permanent government role and force heavy subsidies, with the U S spending about 1 800 000 000 to aid agriculture. America consumes 93 to 94 percent of its production, he said, risking a tilt toward European markets and potentially undermining the nation's farming sector.
