LETTER Mk4

WASHINGTON-Co ngressman Frank
H. Foss of Massachusetts is the
apostle of diversification.
He breaches it as panacea for
the troubles of agriculture, industry,
labor and municipalities.
AS the prize example of diversi-
fication among American cities, he
! points to his own city of Fitchburg,
which has $4,000 inhabitants and 1O9
different industries.
In Fitchburg, when some industries
are dull and factories must curtail,
there are always others going full
! blast where a man can seek and
generlly get job. Thus unenlploy-
ment is kept at a minimum, the mer-
chants aren't constantly in fear of
! slumps and everybody is comparative
ly happy.
Like all the other New England
congressman, Foss voted against the
McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill
Some of the New England cities
have learned in the past few years
the danger of putting all their in
dustrial eggs, i'm one basket, but the
New England farmer is considered
by Foss and other representatives
from that section as having shown
the way to the southern farmer, who
raises cotton exclusively, and 10
the western farmer, who specializes
on wheat, corn or some other single
crop.
They're in good shape says Foss,
speaking in congress for his fellow
New Englanders, "because their farms
are diversified. They raise potatoes,
dairy products, maple sugar, apples
and other fruits, cows and all kinds
of table vegetables. The typical New
England farmer thus has a little
coming in from all directions. If ne
concentrated on single crop, he
would be likely to find himself sunk
within a short time.
"Of' course the New England farm
ers opposed the McNary-Hauge bill
So did the farmers of Minnesota, for
they also are diversified
The same thing applies to cities,
Foss continues. A city whose fac
tories manufacture a single product
is likely to find itself in bad

REMUNERATION

When I depart my lowly cot
And start to- walk downtown,
I know that motorists are not
Allowed to run me down
I know that if l call a cop
He'll have to leave his beat
And bid impatient drivers stop,
To let me cross the street.
| know, that being frail and slight;
If on the street I stray
At any time, by day or night
I have the right of way;
And if car, truck or dray
Should speed across my spine,
The owner would be made to pay
At least five dollars fine.
I pay my taxes when they're due,
I'm one of the elect
And sovereign folk entitled to
Considerate respect.
And though of course I do not rate
With the financial class
All chauffeurs are compelled to wait
And let me safely pass.
Yet I am no cheap egotist
Like those contentious wights
Who always volubly insist
Upon their vested rights;
/ never battle on the street
With dray or car or truck
find it is far more discreet,
To run and dodge and duck!
