TOM HEFLN EXUDES OPTIMISM DESPITE
 THE EUROPEAN WAR
Expects Unprecedented Era of Prosperity and Per- petuation of Reign of
 Democracy

Despite the lowering of war clouds across the waters, and the fact that num-
 bers of his countrymen are wearing long
 faces and wry expressions. Congressman J. Tom Heflin continues to exude optim-
 ism. He is anticipating a practical per
 petuation of the reign of national democ-
 racy He Is anticipating an era of pros
 perity to follow the close of the clash or
 nations unprecedented in American his-
 tory.
 As much as 1 regret the slaughter of
 hundreds of men and the pauperization of
 nations said the congressman, I've can
 not fail to congratulate ourselves in that
 as a result of the international conflict
 we as a country will be vastly benefited
 It is unquestionably true that We will be called upon to need the nations to be bnghted by war. to feed them, clothe them, equip them and repair the damage to be done the one to the other. As a
 result, America will secure markets never
 had before. and these markets will remain permanent markets.
 'rhe present moment is that dark mo
 ment before the dawning of the new day. 1 We must grin and bear it. II will not be difficult to withstand when we recall the blessings that are to follow. l predict that that at the conclusion of the war--and | it is the concensus of opinion that it can | not last long--America will find itself en- toying an era of prosperity and d rank among the powers of the world never ] known in the history of man.
 Two War Measures
 Congress, as d result of the war, has l before 1t two new matters and each is of I the gravest importance. In the hrs' l place, we will bring upon the carpet the 1. cold -blooded individual who, taking ad- vantage of the opportunity. pushes up tho prices on the necessities of life. We must punish this man. The stripes of the felor l should be applied. l would not be sur prised to see Congress in this respect take | the most drastic action.
 And then we must make some move ment toward the relief of the southern l farmer. Our government contributes | money for the purpose of teaching tht | farmer how to grow two blades of grass l where one grew before. Our government spends much in aiding the farmer in eimi' mating the boil weevils and other de- | structive pests. And now our government
 as natural sequence must spend money
 to aid the farmer in protecting his staple 1 against an absent market and the conse l quent depression in prices.
 "There is no question but that In this 1 regard Congress will do the handsome thing. l cannot predict what will actually be accomplished. But I feel certain that means will be devised whereby the Amer l ican farmer will be enabled to hold the bulk of his crop until next season Anc l then the farmer will have a great oppor- tunity. He should raise next year nc cotton, but every grain which enters into l foodstuff. and he should raise cattle and pigs. When he has done so, he will have I enough produce to feed the world. and ht l can set his own price on the cotton whicl he has carried over from the present sea- l son.
