NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SOIL EROSION PROJECTS

]. Laurance Dobel of the national soil erosion
service directs attention to the Tiger River water
shed project as one of great Importance and one
of the first of ten similar projects to be sponsored
by the government.
To make this work possible in ten widely sepa-
rated parts of the United States $5,00O,O00 has
been set aside by President Roosevelt and the car
rving out of the program has been assigned to the
Interior Department under the direct supervision
of H. H. Bennett, an expert of long experience
with the Department of Agriculture.
In general way we know of the great losses
the country has sustained by the erosion of its
soils but few of us were aware of the magnitude
of these losses until recent years Mr.. Dobell sums
up the objectionable waste follows
"To most persons it is startling to learn that
annually S4OO, 900 900 worth of the most fertile
top soil of the cultivated land in this country is
being washed away into the creeks and rivers,
often clogging such streams and covering rich bot
tom lands with unproductive sand and gravel. AL
ready 81, 100000 acres of formerly cultivated land
has been made essentially worthless for crop pro-
ductiou throughout the United States This has
been largely abandoned. Mr.. Benefits investiga-
tions show that rs per cent of the farming land
of this country is in sloping ground and that p
times mQcn SOIL nutrients are aHHuolLS
from the fields by wash as is exhausted by the har-
vested crops Fortunately practical means for STOP
ping, or largely reducing this great depletion OF
national wealth. have been worke dout for many
regions What is necessary now is to get these APP
proved methods of soil conservation put into exc
cution."
With the foregoing facts in mind there should
be few critics of the government plan to check this
ruinous waste European peoples long ago realized
that care Of the soil necessary to continued
profitable crop production Their fight against soil
erosion began before the United States became an
independent nation We were prOfligate because
of the abundance of land. When field was M
poverished it was abandoned and new ground was
cleared.
Conditions are quite different now. We have
more than 125 900 900 of people and all their food
and their feed for their stock should be grown at
home With 35,OOO,OOO acres of exhausted and
unproductive land and millions of additional acres
rapidly falling into the condition the tine
has come when systematic and expert effort must
be made to care for the present generation and
for those of the future.-Spartanburg Herald.

order to reach the $41.3l level
before the first of the year, the
R.F.C. would have to increase the
gold price on an average of 81
cents daily, or $1.92 weekly, for
the % remaining business days OF
December.
That any such rise is contem-
plated is almost inconceivable in
view of the progressive retarda-
ton Of the increase over recent
weeks.
Only one conclusion is certain
from an analysis Of the record Of
devaluation as made here up to
this time. The dollar may be sta
bilized in the near future or its
course may remain cratic for
many months. The only positive
statement that can be made is
that no official devaluation of 80
per cent can be accomplished 1t
the present rate of manipulation
before the middle of 1934-and
by Mat time congress might have
usurped the prerogative.

RECOGNITION BRINGS PROBLEMS

Recognition of the Soviet government of Russia
opens up many questions and problems to be set
tied which heretofore have been merely posSlblA''
ties for some time in the future.
Discussions are now in progress toward agree.
ments on claims and trade.
The possibility of treaty of non-aggressloa
comes to the front in most of the gossip concern
ing our continuing recognition with Russia.
And in this matter, Russia seems to be willing 70
go full length with any of the nations, at least on
paper and for the record.
Now that we are going along with the Sovlets,
it may be well to tie them up as tightly possible,
even though we may not have the utmost faith
they will live up to an agreement, in spirit as well
as in letter.
Prohibition of acts of aggression, with reference
to Communists certainly should go farther than a
stipulation against invasion by armed forces, or
open attack by land, sea or air.
The Communists, of whom the Soviets are the
chief representatives, have methods of aggression
which are more insdOus and perhaps more difficult
to meet and repel than the aggression of armies.
Russia has been free with agreements for non
aggression of that sort 1t has treaties with seven
of its neighborS and with Italy.
They are perhaps good as far they go, but
they do not cover the chief danger from the Com
muniStS.
The great need is for something that will put an
end to Soviet support of the sort of aggression
which is manifested by pottingS and riots and
vicious hunger marches.''-The Rock Hill s. c.
Herald.
