The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1933-01-20

Both this report and that Of technoc-
racy has advanced at such an alarm
ing speed that the development Of So
cial and cultural factors has been left
far behind, and neither offers any def
mite remedies. Many of the country's
ills are attributed IN the report to a
"cultural lag" or the failure Of
changes in economic life. education,
government. religion and science to
move forward at the same rate. The
great problem Is for the man to catch
up with the machine.
New inventions, the committee be-
lieves, are at hand that will be fac
tors in creating employment; the cleo
trlc eye, the electron tube, light weight
storage batteries and other devices
may duplicate the part played by the
automobile, the radio and the movies
a few years ago in making Jobs for
workmen.
On the other hand, the committee
declares that there is no assurance
that violent revolution and dark pc
RODS" can be averted 'unless there
can be more impressive Indignation
Of social skills and fusing of social
purposes that is revealed by recent
social trends"
DR.. Wesley G. Mitchell, professor Of
economics at Columbia university is
chairman of the committee. and DR..
William f. Ogburn, professor of soci-
ology at the University Of Chicago. is
its director Of research. The commit
tee had the aid of more than 500 IN
yestigators.

On the Other Hand.

Now, as to the other side of the pic
ture. If the plan works as Mr.. Jones
and his colleagues maintain that it
will, the farmer will have the two
fold benefit of the increased price due
to the bounty and presumably the add
ed value given the commodity by
shortened supplies.
And, IL the plan works, the consunn-
er will find himself in the unusual sit
uation of paying the farmer to raise
the price by limiting the supplies. In
short, the consumers bread win cost
more because the miller pays an adj
justment charge on wheat, and his
ham will cost more because the packer
has paid the tax as professor Of
the hogs, and so on through the list
of whatever commodities eventually
are included in the terms of the law.
It will readily. be seen that this cir
cumstance is certain to present
sharp alignment between agriculture
and residents of larger cities and prob
ably Of smaller cities and towns as
well. There is evidence of 1t already
In the undercurrent Of discussions
around the Capitol, and the circum-
stance Is not one at which senator's
and representatives are looking with
enthusiasm. They can see plenty Of
kick-backs, for after all city votes are
more important to some of the poll
ticians than are the country votes.
The reverse is true Of very great
many of the house members and some
of the senators, from all of which the
possibilities of the alignment become
apparent.
But in justification Of the use of the
farm parity system, it's sponsors are
saying that American agriculture is
now producing under conditions Of I'M
restricted individualism in an era
when all other production, including
agriculture in almost all other coun-
tries, is either protected or controlled.
They are saying that American agri-
culture should not be denied the right
to set up its own defenses. It should
have its means Of protecting itself
against this free competition until the
time arrives when other producers ac-
cept free trade.

Socialist Workers Leave their Leaders
Nobody believes the newspapers
and many come to us whom they
know as Communists, and ask us for
news and information.
The Social-Democrati workers
have completely left their leaders
They receive no leadership from
them and are very embittered. The
greater part of them have now real
lied what democracy means and
stand alongside us for the principle
Of the dictatorship of the proletariat
In general we Communists now
stand high in the appreciation OF
the workers and are much re-
spected because, in spite Of the
fact that many of our factory
councils have beer arrested and
large numbers of comrades have
been thrown on the streets, we only
strengthen our activities the more.

A lingo Gets Publicity
When, on Capolina'S request, the
hospital notified William A. Darcy,
liaison cs'icer of Les Vingt-cinq Post

they were notified that Darcy would
arrange to furnish Capolina with
transportation to his home"
This, Capolina says, was just so

After two weeks in the United

Capolina received medical dis
charge from the U. S. Army on Feb

a ceaseless, fruitless struggle to live
