The U. S., the U. N., and Far Eastern Agriculture

Abstract

The following article was written for the Bulletin by the former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Mr. Wallace has maintained a life-long interest in agricultural policies and has taken an active part in the development of hybrid corn. Early in the Korean conflict, he directed an appeal to Mao Tse-tung, head of the Chinese People's Government at Peiping, asking him to direct the industrialization of China toward the production of agricultural machinery and the improvement of the living standard of the Chinese peasant rather than to imitate the Soviet dictatorship in concentrating all effort toward war production.
