Dictatorship Is
AblyDiscussed by
President Green
A. +. of l.. Executive Writes on
Existing Conditions in
Europe

Washington, D. C.-In dis
cussing the trend toward dicta-
torship in Europe, President
Green, writing as editor of the
American Federationist, says
this situation "gives cause for
reflection"
"To establish relationships" he
says, 'is Srepudiation of the philoso-
ply Of democracy and belief in prog
ress through education. On the other
hand, those who believe in democracy
are at fault in not seeing to it that
democratic government develops
methods that will make for efficiency
and the selection of capable represen-
tatives for specific responsibilities.
"We have entrusted important
functions to government, and if dem
ocratic government fails to make
good there is an opportunity for re-
dictionary groups to make good case
against constitutional government.
"ln the past, political decisions and
policies have been generally based
upon opinions rather than upon facts.
I'm our own country we hear criti-
cism of congressional inaction upon
vital problems of policy. Unimport-
ant matters are settled quickly, but
such issues as Muscle Shoals wait in
definitely. We see congressional in
vestigations which cost large sums
but which fail to develop Illuminating
or consequential facts, or to clarity
the situations.
"Legislation can no longer safely
proceed without measuring rods to
indicate effects of policies and meth
ocs tried and to develop adaptation to
current situations
"The demagogue and the propa-
gandist find their work made easier
when officials and private citizens
have not the materials upon which to
base wise judgments on the records
Of elected persons.
at is the urgent duty of demo-
cracy to make its government intelli-
gent and efficient"

Real Wages Mean
Purchasing Power

Cleveland, O-"Economists build
up their theories of the real meaning
of wages on figures based on wages
and what was purchased with them
over a period Of years, but wage earn
ers build up their ideas of real wages
on what they can purchase at the
time, regardless of what they might
have purchased in the past" says the
Railroad Trainman.
"Wage workers are not much in
clined to study statistics. The mar
ket price and how far wages will go
into them is about as far as the aver
age worker has the patience to go.
But when both have reached their
final conclusions the economists and
the wage worker do not differ as
much as might be expected"
The Union Label has proved its
usefulness for nearly half a century
It's growth has vanquished skepticism.

FARMERS TO PROFIT
If THEY DIVERSITY
FORMER u. S. SENATOR HOKE
SMITH DECLARES THAT SOLU-
TON OF FARMERS PROBLEM
is IN INVESTIGATION

Atlanta, Ga.-Emphasizing the
South's agricultural opportunity,
former U. S. Senator Hoke Smith
today declared that the. greatest need
of the South today is for farmers to
learn to diversity their crops.
''The farmer has not learend that
smaller cotton crop is worth more
than a larger crop, for the reason
that the smaller the crop is, the high
er the price," said Senator Smith.
"With pasturage for hogs and cat
tie for nine months in the year they
they can be raised at a splendid
profit" Senator Smith declared.
There is every variety of soil in the
state, and anything can be grown
here with the exception of those
vegetables which thrive only in for
eign countries
The rest of the world, Senator
Smith pointed out, has just begun to
recognize the development of the
South and population has begun to
move this way.
Manufacturers are more profit

Man Who Held
Jeff Davis Prisoner
Dies I'm Brooklyn

New York.-Captain Thomas A.
Briggs, 91-year-old civil war veteran
who at one time had Jefferson Davis
as his prisoner, died today at the
home of his daughter in Brooklyn.
Captain Briggs, who engaged in the
ice business in New York shortly af-
ter the civil war, retired 10 years
ago.
Immediately after the war he
owned a tubboat which was charter
ed by the government as dispatch
bearer. One day he received orders
from the commander of Fort Mon
roe, Va, to meet ship in Hampton
Roads and bring ashore prisoner.
The man who was entrusted to
Captain Briggs was the recently cap
tured president of the Confederacy,
Jefferson Davis, whom he conveyed
to the Virginia fortress.
Captain Briggs is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Raymond Fetch.

SHOALS BID PLEDGE
TO MAKE FERTILIZER
FARMERS OF SOUTHEAST WILL
BENEFIT UNDER PLAN OF
MUSCLE SHOALS POWER DIS
TRIBUTINC COMPANY.

Atlanta, Ga.-The guarantee of
production of fertilizer for farmers
of the southeast and it's dis
tribution under plans and prices
fixed by board, including repre-
sentatives of farmers themselves, is
contained in the bid of southern pow
er companies for Muscle Shoals, it
became known here today.
Several power companies operat-
ing in eight southern states have or
ganized the Muscle Shoals DISTRIBUTE
ing company with capital Of $10,-
100000, and the Muscle Shoals Fer
tilizer company, the stock Of which
is owned by the power company, to
lease the Muscle Shoals nitrate and
power plants.
The fertilizer company will pro-
duce 5000 tons of fixed nitrogen and
$4,000 tons of phosphSric acid the
first year combined to make 10000
tons of ammonium phosphate con-
tanning rs per cent plant food, and
will increase to 10000 tons of fixed
nitrogen annually to be mixed with
phosphoric acid and other ingre-
dients as concentrated commercial
fertilizers as rapid vas the market
demands require. Fertilizer will be
sold to users at cost, including per
cent on actual funds invested in the
first 5000 ton unit. Funds for addi-
tional capacity will be supplied from
a portion of the 100000 annual
rental for the power plant lease,
which will relieve fertilizer produc-
ton of interest charge on future in
vestments in new plants.
Fertilizer manufacture will have
first call on the power. Surplus pow
er will be distributed equitably
among the several southern states
through lines now interconnecteda and
others to be built into various sec
tons of the south. Evidence submit
ted to congress indicates that only
a small part of this tremendous vol
ume of power will ever be needed to
produce the maximum nitrogen ton
mage required for fertilizer, leaving
an abundant supply for general use
throughout the south.
