TN seeking to effect working rela-
tionship with the farmers organiza-
tions, Samuel Gompers will find himself
in little better position by reason of a
resolution adopted by the American
Federation of Labor in 1917 favoring a
protective tariff. The farmers have al
ways been protectionists, Tut Mr..
Gompers has not. The action taken by
the Federation of which he is the head
probably did not meet with his personal
approval, but it relieves him of the en-
barrassment of having opposed practi-
cally everything the farmer wanted. 1t
will be long, long time, however, be-
fore Mr.. Gompers and the American
farmer will speak the same language.

CECRErARY of Agriculture Wallace
- looks with favor on the Ford
Muscle Shoals offer provided it is suf
ficlently definite and binding to insure
the continuous production of fertilizer. !"
That is proviso that any good business
man would make. 1t has been inti-
mated that Mr.. Ford has other uses to
which he may put part of the water
power. That is perfectly proper, if the
rights and interests of the Government
are reasonably well protected. The
farmers of the country are interested
in the Muscle Shoals project because of
the prospect of cheaper fertilizers. Be-
fore contract is made with Ford or
anyone else, there should be absolute
assurance that that o. ject will be at.
tanned. Other enterprises should be a
side issue, a by-product.
