SOMETHING TO
w THINK OVER
BY JULIAN MASON
Vice Pres. National Republican
Builders

The week has brought one of the
most startling instances of the pa
ralysis of the national will that the
whole history of the New Deal has
shown us. II lies in the dead still
ness with which the country has re-
ceived the executive order of Presi-
dent Roosevelt creating a great
forest belt" 100 miles wide and 1000
miles long, through the drought
area of the middle west. Think of
it,! A project almost as vast as the
ST. Lawrence waterway or the Ten
nessee Valley experiment, or even
the Panama Canal itself, is launched
by royal decree from a battleship in
the Pacific. There had been no pub
lie discussion of IL. Congress had
not passed on it. Its ten-year cost
is put at $75.0O0.0O0. but no one
knows. or can know, whether that
will be the actual bill TO the tax
payers There is no law authoriz-
ing the project or providing for the
million and one problems of land
ownership that must arise. II is all
started by executive order" And
the goVern11ent preSs-agents at once
swing into line to sell" that order
to the country. "E. A. Sherman, as
sociated United States forester.
traces the path tentatively selected
for the shelter belt of trees to pro-
vide drought relief in the middle
west" So runs the explanatory line
beneath photograph of Mr.. Sher-
man. obligingly posed for the press
by the almost perfect publicity bu-
reau at Washington. Mr.. Sherman
has taken a map of our country (if
it still is OursD and drawn a broad
swath from the Canadian border of /
North Dakota, down through South |
Nebraska. Kansas and Okla !

II doesn't believe that. this i00-mile
belt" of trees will actually be
\ established. Theodore Roosevelt,
after he had been President, once
said to me, "The trouble with Mr..
Wilson is that, after he has put

things it's done" / believe that the
present generation is beginning to
get that same impression about Mr.
Franklin Roosevelt.
Those who want to know the is
sues upon which the Democrats are
to make their congressional cam
paign are referred to this radio ap-
peal of Senator James Hamilton
Lewis. chairman Of the Democratic
Senatorial Elections Committee:
call upon our national brethren in
the name of the patriotism that is
truly in the heart of America; be-
seech all to put behind the Presi-
dent and around him and his gov
ernment the sympathies of support,
the courage of bravery, the loyalty
of devotion. Command our people
to forsake the sordid partisanship of
false name and end the pretense of
patriotism for political profit" Could
anything be clearer or more con,
vincing?
Senator Byrd, of Virginia, said in
the Tugwell hearings, that the pro-
fessor was so much of an amateur
that he would starve to death in a
cotton field. Not too apt. Mr.. Bon
zor. candidate for governor of North
Dakota. gave the NOrthwest's bitter

an unbroken swath OF trees, 100
miles wide. would be q little tho
much OF "a good thing. So its ex-
perts suggested that approximately y
the same result. in saving soil ero-
sion, could be accomplished by
planting "windbreaks" OF trees, 115
feet wide, at mile intervals across
the 100-mile strip. Somehow or
other, they didn't want to tear down
sizable cities like Kearney. Nebraska,
or Dodge City, Kansas, in order to
plant trees on their sites, There
fore, as the Washington dispatches
delicately tell US, the President
modified his glorious idea. the
present plan is a modification OF one
devised by President Roosevelt him
