u S. ARMS LIKELY
TO INCREASE FAST
Economist, in Hoover Re-
port. Sees Possible Results
of Depression.

Establishment of thousands, If not
millions, of new farms in the United
States by urban migrants as de-
velcpment of the city-to-country move
ment due to the depression, is pictured
as a possibility by DR.. Oliver E. Baker
agricultural economist of the Depart
ment of Agriculture He discusses the
prospects Of the movement in one OF
the chapters of the report OF the Presi-
dents Research Committee on Social
Trends, just made public.
Sees Need. for Plan.
Dr.. Baker discusses 1.-The need to plan
70. the future and develop a program
of lsnd tilization-naGonaL State ard
local-to mitigate the suffering incl
dent to the slow abandonment OF thou
sands of low-producing farms"
During the present economic depreS-
sion, he writes. some Of these farms
have provided a haven for numbers Of
unemployed from the cities. The sud-
den reversal of the direction of migra-
tion has raised doubts as to whether
the Nation may not be entering new
era wherein the cities will decrease and
the open country will increase in popu-
lation through the establishment Of
thousands. if not millions, of new farms
by these urban migrants, or at least that
the flow frcm farm to city will cease. -
Believed Exaggerated.
Dr. Baker observes, however, that the
"beck- k-to-the-land movement, up to
the present, at least. has been exagger-
ated He cites estimates of United
Ststes Bureau of Agricultural Economics
that for the entire country the move
ment to farms in 1881 was 1,679, 900
and from farms 1,472, 900, and that the
net increase in farm population
amounted, roughly, to 648, 900. He notes
that there was a small net increase in
the farm population in 1880, but prior
to that year the farm population had
decreased in nearly every year for a
decade, and probably longer

1t would be a recognition of a long
ignored right. If n allowed the
children to ask some questions. We
ask children questions all day long.
If they ask us any we are likely to
turn them away.
Questions are a sign of mental
activity In the children. If instead
Of prodding them with questions we
set the problem and tell them to
question US. there will be greater
interest and more mental activity
than If we proceed In the usual
way.
The kind of questions a child asks
will let us into the secret of his
minds quality, the extent and the
depth of his information. One can
not ask a question about a subject
unless one knows something about
It and the amount and quality of
the knowledge is indicated by the
question.
A teacher showed a class a pic
ture of a city In India. Calcutta,
the name of the city, was clearly
printed on the picture. "You can
ask any question you like about
this picture" said she. A small
boy near the picture raised his
hand Importantly.

"AI you have to do Is to read
the name, Sam"
"Oh," said Sam. You don't need
to know anything more about Sam
than that In order to place him In
his class.
Then another child raised his
hand. "That's the city where the
soldiers died in the Black Hole.
isn't it? I've always wondered
why the English were in India.
Why didn't they go home and stay
away from a country that treated
them like that? They have so much
trouble because the people don't
want them there. Why do they stay
there when they are not wanted in
other peoples country?"
That from ~ten-year-old Richard
places him. Give the children a
chance to ask the questions. You
do the answering for a while. Help
them to find the answers In their
reference books.
1t is possible for a child to get
good marks in a subject and know
very little about it because his mind
has never questioned the subject.
And it is also possible for a child
to know a good bit about a subject
and get passing marks only because
the teacher didn't happen to ask
the question that opened the vein
of knowledge he possessed. If the
child does the questioning the
teacher is informed about his con-
dition and the child Is better In
formed on his subject.

BY SENATOR WILLIAM H.
KING

Chairman Of the Senate District Com
mittee. Written expressly for Inter-
AattOnal News Service.
The shocking crime record of
the United States for the past few
years has aroused all law-biding
and patriotic citizens who demand
that the Federal Government and
the States exert all constitutional
power to end this reign of terror.
Undoubtedly a disregard for the
prohibitory statutes contributed
to the crime movement.
Like Jungle Beasts
Wicked, depraved and cowardly
persons have developed new forms
Of crime. No more cowardly and
wicked human beings can be
found than those who kidnap
men. women and children.
No expense should be spared by
governmental agencies to destroy
these groups. The fiends who
perpetrate these crimes should be
hunted as wild beasts, because
such they are, and driven from
cover into the arms of the law,
there to suffer the punishment
their crimes demand.
Menace to Industry
The Federal Government and
Che States should unite to eradi-
cate this growing evil. We can
not afford to confess the i'm
potency Of our Government to
protect its citizens.
We are also menaced by other
criminal groups-the so-called
"racketeers" who prey upon hon
est and legitimate business.
There should be a concerted
effort upon the part of industrial
and governmental authorities to
eradicate this menace to our in
dustrial life.

Postal Savings Plan
Not Believed Sound

From the Sprinsneld Mass, Union.
The proposal to authorize postal
savings banks to extend checking ac-
commodattonS up to $1,000 for any de-
positor which has been approved bv the
senate. comes rs the latest attempt to
expand governmental operations in a
neld where the initial departure has
met with p1blic favor. AS q first-aid
emergency measure this plan seems
)ustified only in the event that the
present bank situation should be pro-
ionged beyond present indications, and
IN that event it would be, of course,
ward a permanent Arrangement 1t must
reckon with weighty objections.
There is good ground for protests
against the Government competing un-
necessarily with private business. There
are urgent reasons for curtailing, in
stead OF expanding, the operations Of
q governmental department in which
q large and growing financial deficit
OBTAINS. unless new departures appear
as distinctly of the prof1t-paying
variety. II this plan should follow the
established rule of giving the public
more than 1t pays for in point of serv-
ice, the possibility of balancing the
postal budget would be DINNER than
ever.
One angle of the subject relates to
ways and means of making a profit
able use of funds deposited in the
postal banks. In view Of the low rate
OF interest paid by the Government on
such deposits this involves no problem
under normal conditions. Temporary
obstacles in this respect should be
overcome without involving the Govern
ment more deeply in business opera
