SOH-TnLER IDEAS

What the farmer wants" has be- come phrase that needs no ex- planation. In the opinion of the east. he wants about everything; in the opinion of the west, he gets next to nothing.
 It was illuminating to hear, or read. the address made by Henry A. Wallace at the Villiamstown insti- ute. Wallace Is a noted farm edi- tor and the son of the late Henry c. Wallace, who was secretary of agriculture in the Harding cabinet. The postwar debt situation is what is bothering the farmer. It is easy to determine how that 1 works. European nations, eco- l nomically hamstrung, cannot buy the American surplus of farm products. The only way it is being done, If at all, in his opinion, is by borrowing American money and then buying American farm goods with part of it. This cannot continue indefinitely.
 Then Wallace came to the meat in the cocoanut. To improve Europe's buying power let the American debts be cancelled. This would increase the purchasing pow CT of Europe for American farm products by 31oo,o0o,OO0 a year.
 In other words, the American people could say goodbye to $1l,- 900, 0,000,000 of foreign debts in order that the American farmers might sell s10o, 900, 900 of surplus products a year.
 And there is the prospect that, in a decade or so, the American farm- CTS will have no surplus products to sell abroad. the increasing popula- ton of the United States taking care of it.
 Wallace has few other ideas quite as illogical Lowering of the tariff, he says. would make the price of manufactured goods low-which would benefit the farmers, he says. And McNary-Haugen farm relief plan will increase the costs of farm products-to the folks who live from manufacturing.
 Wallace's idea seems to be that the people in the cities should exist for no other purpose than to enrich the farmers.

BRITISH RADIO "MUDDLINGn

In Britain the government oper- ates the radio stations through the post office department. We are not prepared to say whether this Is su- perior system to the dog eat-d B system in vogue in the United States; but we are inclined to think it gets somewhere. Radio lover there" at least Is being run with as little friction as the post office system.
 Last season the British National Opera company got into financial difficulties. The attendance was good, but grand opera is expensive and attendance does not always pay the piper. The company at least could. not travel outside of London, particularly not in Scotland, where the Scots appear to like little more than bagpipes occasionally.
 The gofernment's radio system, at this opportune time, stepped for ward and made a tour through Scotland possible by paying the opera company for the privilege of broadcasting the operas. From here on we'll let the London Musical Record tell the story in one short paragraph:
 The arrangement between
 the British National Opera com
 pany and the British Broad
 casting Corporation Gas the
 governments radio system Is
 called. retaining the name with
 which it started in private
 hands) for the coming opera
 season in Scotland is of a high
 ly commendable order. Ths'sum
 paid to the opera company for
 the right 10 broadcast the
 operas Cor parts of them) is
 sufficient to enable tour of ten
 weeks 10 be undertaken in Scot
 land and the north of England
 without financial anXieties. In
 other words. the B. N. O. C. is
 partly subsidized by the E. B. C.,
 which is thus saving our music
 by providing the financial aid
 which no other organization
 trust, or private individual is
 prepared to supply"
 Opera has been broadcast in the United States--once. Tabloid yer sions, solo singers only, are broad cast every week. But it hasn't come to the point where the operas of a great national company, like the Metropolitan, are broadcast throughout an entire tour and the tour made possible through the money paid by the broadcasters This is the only comparison possible for it must not be overlooked that the British National Opera con- pany is star organization.
