 | | To ease the tremendous strain of food demands on the U.S., Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson last week came up with an idea: foreign countries should place their food orders well before crops are planted so that production rather than prices will be stimulated. |
 | | But it was only the semantic sugar on the pill of Anderson's program for "spreading the risk of world recovery." The pill was disclosed a few days later in his testimony before Congress' Joint Committee on the Economic Report. |
