not to be wondered at. In the first

primarily with farming and is not

rapidly gaining momentum. from the
cities back to the farms. The report
from its field agents seems to indicate
a confusion OF the two contracted
movements.
Three Groups Going Back.
Three groups are now going back,
the National Land Use Planning Com
mittee reported at its meeting here
last week. In the first group are
those who left the farm q few years
ago, but now are returning to a place
Of refuge, usually with their relatives.
In the second group are those going
back to the land simply to obtain food
and shelter and who are renting or
cropping from any landowners willing
to give them chance. The third
group includes those with enough
money to make q small down payment
on farm. In one Northeastern Ohio
county Department of Agriculture rep
resentatives discovered that one out
OF three farms visited was occupied
within the past two years by persons
formerly employed in the cities.
Native ingenuity and thrift are in
the saddle, says the report One plow-
ing outf1t seen consisted of an old tour
ing car, minus tires, with sticks tied to
the wheels to provide traction, pulling
an aged plow. The farmer drove the
car. His wife guided the plow."
There Is no way TO determine how
many oil these migrants are going back

money and how many IN the hope of
living without money. Probably with

from government to government are not

When President Hoover proposed a
moratorium ne did not confne his pro-
posal to reparations alone. He knew
that to do so would provide no remedy
Tor the worlds discontents; his proposal
extended TO all debts of whatever kind
from government To government.
The claims to war debts and repa-
ratlons may be based upon different
grounds; they may be attacked OF
justified by different arguments; we
may differ as to their respective
merits, but these differences are for
our present purpose immsterial. for the
effect of both on trade. on prices and
on unemployment Is the same.
There Is no cure for the evil from
which the whole world. not excepting
the United States, is suffering. unless
the burden of war debts is dealt with
at the same time and in the same
spirit as the burden of reparations.
President Hoover recognized the es-
sential connection between tire two
questions; he included both in his pro-
posal and welded them to each other.
No man henceforth may put them
asunder!
