Wheat sChiselerS'

Former Governor Maddock3 COM
nent that It Is the "chiselers" who
ARE holding up receipt Of the wheat
allotment money In North Dakota Is
worth more than passing attention
because it emphasizes anew the neces-
sity for intelligent cooperation among
those living on the farm II agricul-
ture Is to get out Of the doldrums.
Maddox presumably knows where
Of he speaks, though 1t Is doubtful II
he would be 50 frank II he were po-
litical office holder. The tradition
requires that such men speak Of tho
farmer as incapable Of doing a wrong
or mean thing, whereas no one knows
better than the farmers that they are
aust average human beings.
In an editorial printed In this
newspaper shortly after the allotment
plan was adopted. 1t was emphasized
that, II the proposal were to succeed.
the farmers would have to accept the
task OF keeping each other straight
with regard to 1t.
To date . fine Job has been done
IN this respect. The district and
county committees have worked long
and faithfully and have. generally
speaking. Handled their tasks with
outstanding competence. In most
cases. apparently. they have dealt sue
cessfully with those who would make
the well.worn term honest farmer"
. mere mockeH.
Hope Of getting the wheat checks
by Christmas has gone glimmering as
a result Of the condition Governor
Maddox mentions, but other states
are getting theirs and We viii get
ours as soon as our internal Difficult.
ties are adjusted. A recent announce
ment by the agricultural adjustment
administration says that the money
already has been paid to farmers in
$50 of the 1,45O counties which will
come under the plan. The volume
Of payments Is only about six per cent
of the estimated 10000 900, however,
because most Of the counties which
have completed their work are in
areas which raise little wheat. The
more important grain-growing dis
tricts are having troubles similar to
ours.
Another, though legal. form Of
chiseling came to light Wednesday
with announcement by the govern
ment that winter wheat sown this
year totals 4l.002.0oo acres or SO per
cent Of the acreage seeded In 1882.
This, presumably, was done by those
who preferred to ignore the allot-
ment plan and attempt to profit by
the fact that their neighbors were
reducing production. In other words.
they chose to compete on q purely
selfish basis rather than cooperate
for the good Of the country and the
farming industry as q whole.
This may temporary mean failure
in the effort to reduce the surpluS
and it may demand further and more
drastic action to bring these people
into line than any which has yet been
attempted.

TRADE NSULL FOR WINE?
There's no great demand for Greek
wines In this country, but there's q
large yen for Sam insult. The Greeks
are eager to ship lots Of wine, how
ever, and when they found their ex-
ports here would be limited to $4,000
gallons In four-month period, they
remembered how snooty they had
been about delivering insult.
It was limited to them that this

That was why the Greek government
told insult he could not stay in Greece

Those Subsistence Homesteads

AAO0G oOU0lStStCC k1UUlCSCS6US
minneapolis Tribune)
In his annual report, Secretary
1ckeS calls attention to the subsis-
tence homestead experiment being
carried on by the federal government
among the coal miners of West Vir-
ginia. He points out that the net
drift of population has been away
from the cities for several years. and
expresses the belief that this move
ment will increase in the future, with
q consequent development OF part
time gardening or farming in subur-
ban areas as . means Of eking out
family incomes" The West Virginia
miners, he says, are potential" farm
ers and will become real ones under
the government homestead program,
which plans to make them self-sup-
porting In . rural community. They
are to be taught to farm for home
consumption and to engage, in addi-
ton, in some subsidiary craft or trade.
Just how far the government in
tends to 60 In its scheme to convert
hard-pressed urbanites into real
farmers the report does not indicate,
but an initial sum Of $25, ,000, 900 has
been set aside for that purpose.
While the homestead plan has GER
tain idyllic appeal to 1t, there can be
no denying the difficulties inherent
in the job Of conversion, and no over
looking the fact one result Of the
subsistence farm program will be to
put more agricultural acreas into pro-
duction at time when acreage re-
duction Is . crying need. Farming
even subsistence farming-requires IN
aptitude and experience which even
the federal government cannot create
offhand for its homestead proteges.
It Is q mistake to assume that any
one whom the federal government
beckons back to the soil will auto
matically take root there, and farm
successfully on his subsistence acres
Furthermore, unless the homesteads
are rigidly kept on . subsistence basis
we must face the possibility Of . sur
plus production which would hardly
help prevailing markets: and even
with production limited to the In
dividuals needs, there y one less con-
sumer to be counted on in the solu'
, ton Of our surplus problems.
The subsistence farming idea. u
other words, may not prove the un'
mitieated blessing which many believe
It to be. Whether it Is justified q
IN emergency measure or not. TIN
fact remains that the government y
encouraging one group Of citizens Il
take over farm acres and produce OF
them ct the same time that It = urg'
ing . far greater group to decrease
production. The situation = one tina
has many ramifications, but nowhsr'
does Il affect the fundamental trutl
that acreage reduction, and not acre
~ inc1ease, = the key % the farm
surplus problem.

Although Secretary Stinson said the
United States has not been asked by
European powers to join in an arms en-
barge for the Far East, much comment
was created in official Washington by
the statement of Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald yesterday in the House Of
Commons that such an embargo could
be accomplished only by international
agreement.
Reports from Marking indicate the
Chinese foreign Office does not antici-
pate any embargo on arms shipments to
China. as it is not held by foreign
powers to be the aggressor in the Man
churian trouble.
The arms embargo resolution which
has been reported to the House limits
the power of the President to the impo-
sition of an embargo upon nations
threatening one another with war in the
Americas alone.

DISTRICT BEER BILL
REPORTED TO HOUSE
Tydings' Senate Measure Is
Voted as Amendment, Re-
placing Black Plan.

After a turbulent session, the House
District Committee today reported a
beer bill for the District of Columbia.
The Tydings bill in the Senate was in
corporated as an amendment, replacing
all provisions of the Black beer bill, and
two amendments by Representative
Whitley, New York, were also incorpo-
rated. One of these provides that a
license shall not be issued to any one
who has been convicted of felony.
and the other provides that ION sale"
licenses shall be granted only to "in-
corporated" clubs, as well as restau-
rants and hotels.
The committee agreed the bill will
not be called up in the House until
after the general Collier bill for the
whole country has been passed, and
then before it comes up under suspen-
sion Of the rules committee meeting
will be held to consider any amend
ments that may be proposed.
Repeatedly during the stormy session
today, with the committee room packed
by dry advocates, Chairman Norton and
other members of the committee ac-
cused Representatives Patman, Nc
Clintock of Ohio and Gasque of South
Carolina of dilatory tactics and an eff
fort to delay action until after the
hour set for the House to meet.
Representative Patman was allowed
10 minutes and Representative GaSque
minutes out of the Is minutes ap-
portioned for debate on the bill. Rep
fot tixro tanpd fn de-
feat the bill in the House. accused the
committee Of tearing parliamentary
procedure to scraps and scattering them
to the four winds"
Representative Black declared ''the
drys are making their last desperate
stand'
A number of roll call votes were
forced and on most of those the COM
mittee stood 10 to 3, the three being
Patman, McClintock and Gasque.
Gasque said his objection was to re-
porting out the beer bill at this time.
Chase Issues Statement.
After the session Canon William
Sheafe Chase, superintendent Of the
International Reform Federation, is
sued the following statement:
"At the stormiest legislative commit
tee meeting I ever saw, the wet MEM
bers of the House Committee on the
District of Columbia, with the consent
of it's chairwoman, Mrs. Norton, sub
stituted for the Black beer bill for the
District of Columbia, on which several
hearings had been held, the language
of the Tydings Senate bill for the same
purpose.
1T was done without having the Ian
guage of the substitute bill read before
the committee. The committee refused
to consider several amendments ready to
be offered. The chairwoman, however,
promised that if the Collier Blaine beer
bill passed the Senate she would call
the committee together and give them
opportunity by amendment to perfect
the bill Unless this statement were
made, the country, by the action taken,
would think that the committee had,
after proper consideration, voted to re-
port the beer bill for the District OF
Columbia.
"As matter of fact, no hearings have
been held upon the new bill or has ade-
quate consideration been given to the
various provisions of the bill"

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. February 23-
Skilled workmen-some Of them college
graduates and specialists in highly tech
nical lines-are working at Camp Fos-
ter near here for nickel a day and
their keep to beat the depression.
On this 1,000-acre tract where 10000
men trained during the World War and
where the National Guard of several
States hold Summer maneuvers, jack
sonville Is, in a large measure, taking
care of its transient, employed with
funds from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation.
And the men-400 or 500 strong ever
since the camp opened nearly three
months ago-are happy. That is. those
who have been there for a time. They
come in feeling pretty low. Jobs are
scarce where they have been and the
Winter has been bitter cold.
Their work largely is confined to i'm
provements at the camp. Trained elec-
tricians are rewriting the entire tract.
There Is q fire department, voluntarily
organized, which has repaired an old
