Mrs. Roosevelt in Conference
With Governor to Discuss
Welfare Aims Today
BY DOROTHY DUCAS

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, March
10 U.N.S0 Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, surveying social condi.
tionS in Puerto Rico, shifted her
attention today to the slums Of
the capital which the Federal
Governments program proposes
to abolish.
She made her way quietly
through the narrow streets but
the unofficial car in which she
was travelling was quickly recog-
nized and crowds began passing
the word around, "The PreSi-
dents wife is here"
Conference on Welfare
This afternoon Mrs. Roosevelt
will participate in a round table
conference at the Governors
palace with chiefs of eight Fed
eral welfare agencies here survey
ing conditions who will exchange
views with Puerto Ricans on
means of alleviating the islands
distress.
Visits Rural ShackS
Mrs. Roosevelt began the second
day of her weeks survey Of social
conditions in Puerto Rico today
with one conviction already estab-
lished; that is, that New York has
living conditions just as bad as
those she saw on an all-day tour
yesterday, during which she vis-
tied model homes and rural ShackS.
Mrs. Roosevelt said:
'Tt is about what ! expected.
The best houses are not bad,
and the worst simply do not
have high standards of living.
"A certain type of tenements
in New York are just as bad, be-
cause here at least the inhab.
itantS are able to be out in the
air."
Mrs. Roosevelt even expressed
surprise that some Of the rural
children appeared to be well fed.
It was explained that their fathers
at present had plenty of money
from the cutting of sugar cane.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she be-
lieved communicable tuberculosis
was the greatest hazard to work.

Of having windowless homes and

Six Orphans in Room
In one Of the worst homes
the American First Lady visited
she found six orphans huddled
in a floorless room, 10 feet long
and seven feet wide, with chick
ems Strutting about. On the roof
were orange peels, being dried
by the sun for use as a "cure"
for diseases.
One Of the best homes was a

their lives last night while taking
off for trial night air mail flight
to Salt Lake City.
Army officials allowed no one
to approach the charred wreckage,
and we're reluctant to discuss pos

IN official inquiry today.
Bodies Burned
The bodies of Lieuts. F. L. How
ard, Of March Field, Riverside,
CAL, and A. r. Kirwin, Of Barks-
dale Field, Shreveport La, were
burned beyond recot ition, and
the plane demolished BY fire that
broke out as it crashed from an
altitude Of between 100 and 200
feet.
The intense heat kept rescuers
from approaching until the Chey-

chemicals and extinguished the
blaze.
Carried No Mail
Lieutenant Howard was pilot
ing the plane, q single-motored,
open-cockpit observation type,
when it took off from the Chey-

headed for Salt Lake City on a
trial run in preparation for in

Lieutenant KirWin was riding as

Witnesses said that the obser-

than 200 feet from the ground,
about four minutes after clearing

Army officers apparently took
little stock in the theory that the
plane had struck a power line
and burst into flame.

In one big howl we went to the Gov

from the tobacco company. Well,
Ehringhaus didn't. The handwriting

doubtless this can be done only in con-

AS explained to me by farm leaders,

payment by a long process of taking

a foreign market In a free trade world.
Secretary Wallace presented the gist
of THIS whole political movement wher
he said before the Farm Buresd Fed
Grafton:
an order to hold the gains OF the
agricultural adjustment act it Is ex-
ceedingly important that all of us
look at things in a very broad way.
We must remember that this is a
bigger problem than getting justice
for agriculture. What we want is a
state of balance between agriculture,
labor and business which will permit
us all to engage in an ever ascending
spiral. The farm leader who tries
to advance farm product prices alto
gether out of line with the wages of
labor Is likely to bring disaster to the
people he is trying to serve. In like
manner, the labor leader who endeav-
orS to increase unduly labor costs per
unit of product sold to the farmers is
in danger of creating serious unem-
ployment. Business leaders endeavor-
ing to take out of the national income
more than modest salaries and a
modest return on capital are almost
certain to invest their excess profits
in ways which bring about an excess
over consumption and thus destroy
the state of just social balance which
we are striving to create"

might be construed as pious wish ol
hucolic hokum.
Those who think SC had better re-
view the fate Of other rural demands
They should consider Muscle Shoals
Boulder Dam, the Great Coulee Dam
the Sacramento Valley and all the rest
Of the water and power projects In
force or under way.
These doubters also should remem-
Der the Governments refunding OF
their mortgages, and the Govern
menG's assumption of home mortgages
They have seen parity between farm
prices and what the farmer pays es-
tablished-established as firmly ss a
national polcy-as manhood suffrage
the farmers say.
Whether this parity will be con-
tinued by direct Government pay
ments, by Federal repurchase of I'M
profitable farms, or by a new fright
fulness In the way of free trade with
the earth, remains to be seen. That
the farmers debts will be compro-
missed or paid in cheap dollars and
his share of the national income in
creased may be safely assumed to be
a major, permanent purpose, and nc
passing recovery idea.
How this modest" salary and
modest" return on capital strike the
average man is demonstrated by what
I was told in North Carolina. For
years the farmers and tenants on the
tobacco farms, making flue-cured to-
bacco for cigarettes, have not only
made nothing, they contend, but they
have gone into the last stages of debt
pitiful poverty, and to the edges of
degradation. Meanwhile tobacco COM
panies have become fabulously rich,
increased earnings and surplus and
controlled the point Of view and the
action Of all branches Of the State
government.
Growers Story E5- Told.
Years of complaint by the growers
brought the same answer-that the
price was controlled not by the COM
panies, but by a law of God, by the
infallible, Interchangeable laws Of eco
nomics, and that nothing could pos
sibly be done about 1t.
In North Carolina I tackled a lead
ing grower who patronized local
warehouse and asked what happened

measure. What win you do when the
emergency is gone; when the act runs
out?"
who passes these laws? Tell me
that. These big corporations have had
their day. They don't own Congress
or the President any more. They
couldn't dictate TO the janitor in the
jail. But I'll tell you one thing:
We're going to have to jack up what
We pay. Nobody's going to let us get
81 cents a pound and keep on paying
rs cents day for labor. But that's
all right. Fair enough"
Regulated" Industry.
All this probably will appear to the
average reader as fair. But l want to
point out that the very idea, that fair
ness had anything to do with the price
q manufacturer paid for his material
Is not only something new under the
sun, but 1t is radical departure from
the American system" and from the
possibilities heretofore admitted by
orthodox political economists. 1t is

Evening star., 1934-02-15

In depicting the manifest conflict
trialists, do not intend to convey
the impression that there is hostile
attitude on the part of either. The
outstanding fact about the American
people is that they exhibit little or
no hostility, anger or i'll will against
any one.
Besides, the commercial era can at
least be credited with convincing
manufacturer, merchant and farmer
alike that each one is the other fell
lows customer, and that customers
are not improved by cuSsing them.
To understand the American farmer
and what is happening in the great
rural districts, We can safely leave out
prejudice and hostility as an item and
concentrate on some more substantial
aspects.
To begin with, it must be realized
that the present Department Of Agri-
culture and the various bureaus oper-
ating for farm relief do not merely
synpathiZe or cooperate with the
farmers. They are the farmers. They
are manned by the farmers them
selves to carry out the demands, doc
trines and plans made by the farm
leaders.
If one wishes to understand the
forces and philosophy behind the re-
covery acts so willingly passed by
Congress, and so effectively sold the
country by President Roosevelt, all
that is necessary is to review the pro-
gram laid down by the farm leaders
before Mr.. Hoover departed.
Recovery Not Mentioned.
This program was worked out in
the most elaborate and painstaking
detail and was presented by the farm
captains. Even a curSory examination
of its contents will convince any man
that there is something more than
recovery" yeaSting in the countryside.
Every farmer I met every farm
meeting I attended, every farm jour-
nal I saw led me straight as light TO
the same source-the farmers pro-
gram.
Nowhere in the program. however,
will you find any reference to recov-
cry. Recovery implies something tenn
porary, some drastic improvised REM
edy to be discarded at the first ap-
pearance of normality. There is Moth
ing temporary about this philosophy.
Hear the Secretary OF Agriculture:
In the long run, we ought to look
forward to the time when the benefit
payments can be abandoned, although

at an artificial distribution Of wealth.
To be sure, 1t was done in this case
under cover of a national emergency,
but IL anything about the situation
is plain 1t is that not only the farmers
but the merchants and a great many
tndustrialists are committed to this
procedure as q permanent policy.
It Is the very pith of the agri-
cultural program, the life of the labor
councils the theme of the churches,
the new doctrine Of the universities,
the secret of the invincible popularity
Of the new eeal. 1t may not be practi-
cal or desirable to dictate such things
