Tariff Reduction Not Cheap Cotton Path to Recovery
Secretary Wallace argued that the United States must boost foreign purchasing power, not rely on cheaper cotton, to keep markets abroad for about 8 million bales. He warned that rising cotton prices under AAA are not the chief reason for export declines. instead, dollar exchange and import/export balances determine demand. The decision on cotton production, crucial for farmers and industry, hinges on balancing higher prices with adequate export volumes, amid AAA plans for 1935 and a goal of maximum income with sustainable output.
