Washington, Dec. 11.-Freely and
frankly discussing the present plight
of the American farmer, Secretary
Wallace tells the President in his
first annual report today that there
Seems to be good reasons for believ-
ing that the worst is over and that
we may reasonably hope for gradual
that "a clear recognition of the con-
ditions as they exist should help US
to realize this hope"
In large part the troubles of The
farmer today are due to world wide
conditions and the inevitable result
of the World War, the Secretary of
Agriculture says, adding that it is
not to be expected that by some mir
aculous transformation the period
of adversely may be turned over
night into a period of prosperity.
|. High freight rates, big crops pro-
duced in the face. of high costs, I'M
employment in other industries in the
country with attendant lessening in
buying of foodstuffs, and the lack of
foreign markets for the farm sur
plus are given by the Secretary as
the more immediate causes for pres
ent conditions in agriculture. He lays
particular stress upon the lack of
foreign markets and high freight
rates.
1T is terrible indictment of mod
ern civilization" he asserts, that
with such abundance here there are
millions of people overseas suffering
for the bare necessities and other
I millions starving to death. And sure
ly we are sadly lacking in our under
standing of economic laws or in adj
jCstment to them when the produc-
ton of bounteous crops grown by the
hard labor of 13,000,000 farmers and
farm workers and their families is
permitted to play such a large part
in paralyzing our industries and bus
mess at home.'

and setting it down 100 to 900 miles

Too Much Politics
in Republics, Says
Primate of Ireland

Belfast. Dec. 11.-(By A. Picard
inal Logue. primate of Ireland, in an
interview published today is quoted
as having made a striking declara-
ton of the attitude of the church to-
wards republics. The Cardinal is de-
clared to have said that he dislikes
republics because there is too much
political corruption in them. He had
expressed this opinion to President
Roosevelt at the White House in
Washington. but he added that he
did not regard the United States as
republic, at least in the ordinary
sense of the word. because an Amer
lean president has far more power
than any ruler ever had in old Eu-
rope. except the Car of Russia.
X The cardinal is reported to have
said that he was certain the Irish
settlement would secure the approx
al of the Irish people because they
were sick of bIoodshed.

Boston, Dec. 1.-THE attitude of
public officials toward law enforce

Commissioner Roy A. Haynes in one
of two addresses which he delivered
at mass meetings here today.
Unfortunately" he said, there
are some officials who feel that the

them. AS long as public officials
take hostile attitude it is going to
be difficult to convict. The attitude
of the judge and the prosecuting at

dict of the jury. In some cases, 1 am
told, it is difficult, to tell whether
the bootlegger of the prohibition
official is on trial.
I'm my judgment. light fines and
long delays have contributed in no
small way to the defiance in which
bootleggers hold the law. OPPOSE
