NEWSPAPERS OPINION
BRAIN TRUST DREAMS

| One of the fundamental reasons for criticisms
of brain trust policies is the tendency to under
take realization of dreams at an expense of bill
lions to the taxpayers. Tugwelps proposed amend
ment giving absolute control of food, drugs and
cosmetics to an agriculture department dictator
showed how impervious the brain trust has become
to realities The federal invasion of private bust
ness and attempted RECOMMENDATION of the national
life afford other examples of a trend which will
alarm even the more liberal elements of the popu-
lation.
Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator,
is another visionary, even though he may have es-
capped the brain trust tag. He remarked recently
that retention of millions on direct relief is not
the American way of doing things. Then he in
dulges in prediction of decentralized industry as
part of a social reform program that, if attempted
on a wide scale, would only accentuate the care
less and financially ruinous theories of the present
administration. Mr. Hopkins idea of a "decen-
trazed" industry embraces the construction of
small, scattered industrial plants throughout the
country The employees would own their own
homes and plots of productive ground. After work
ing the number of hours established by the re-
former, the employee would devote another hour OF
two killing weeds in the vegetable garden
more serious problem than the tendency of these
workers to "shoot little golf" instead of bending
over the cabbages and tomato plants Fe foresees
an army of workmen deserving the larger cities
and fastening to avail themselves of the content
ment afforded by life on the rolling prairie. The
fly in the ointment is the fact that new align
ment of the population could not be accomplished
without seriously impairing the present economic
scheme. Little will be gained, for example, if
large industrial plant in the city is wrecked to
permit erection of small units somewhere in Amer
lea. Furthermore, many benighted workmen will
prefer the din of the city to the owls and frogs
of the open spaces The picture Mr.. Hopkins draws
is dyllic but realization is scarcely possible
under the miraculous legerdemain of the new deal.
There is just more point which Mr.. Hopkins
might consider. He talks glibly of the industrial
employee hurting home to cultivate the garden. 1t
may be all dream, yet most of us have rather
distinct impression that the farmers have been
producing too much already. Some may have
hazy idea that pigs were ruthessly destroyed and
farmers paid real money to plow under portion
of their crops While one branch of the brain trust
is concentrating on program of destruction, along
comes the relief administrator with plans for great

MUDDLINc THE FARM QUESTION

Signing of the Frazer-Lemke farm bankruptcy
bill undoubtedly was the biggest surprise in Pres-
dent Roosevets final rush of work before leaving
for his Hawaiian cruise. And it may prove to be
one of the administrations mistakes. The bill was
not an administration measure was fought by the
Presidents congressional spokesman at every stage
and could have been stopped at one juncture if a
single Republican senator had risen to object
1t becomes law as the result of powerful, almost
irresistible forces The need to lift the debt bur-
den, by whatever means possible, still dictates ma
ior moves of government. This explains why some
otherwise cautious observers in the middle west
supported such an outwardly radical and dubious
measure. President Roosevelts unexpected acquie-
scence is PROBABLY, too some indication that the
agricultural adjustment of crop problem is encoun-
tering heavy political weather.
Increasing reports have come from the West and
South that farm sentiment, always weak at coop
Grating for its good, is irked at the operation
of crop controls. This program may not be failing
it would be pretty early to judge of that-but
at least President Roosevelt shows disposition TO
in the other direction. If farm prices do not
rise rapidly enough to ease the pressure he will
accept action to unburden the farmer of his debts
The department of agriculture, perhaps putting
the best front on the matter, estimates that no
more than or per cent of the farmers will re-
sort to the new machinery for obtaining virtual
five-year moratorium. This is because most farm
ers will avoid the odium of bankruptcy, others will
not be able to convince the courts that they are
bankrupt and the farm credit administration will
supply aid for all except the most heavily indebted
In any event, the effect of the act is to set up
class of preferred debtors who will continue in
competition with the more thrifty farmers while
the latter must pay their debts in full. Such is
one difficulty in attempting to deal with the farm
problem by adjusting debts instead of by adjusting
crops to bring better income. Another drawback
is that if farm losses written off too largely
from the lenders side of the slate, farm credit is
made that much more difficult to obtain in the
future and is set up for rates of interest
which the farm belt calls usurious ..
The West must soon decide whether it wants TO
wash out debts to point that will later react to
its discredit and disadvantage whether it is willing
to follow through the crop reduction programs to
obtain better prices, or whether it prefers at
length to go through the wringer of low prices
and hard creditors.-Christian Science Monitor.

THE AMBASSADOR SAYS

give hundred corporations OF
about that number own three
fourths of all the property in
America. The depression came be-
cause the government was in
LEAGUE with monopoly and had
taken from the people the bread
they earned and put it in the peck
cts Of the monopolies. The new
deal is going to stop all that. We
shall never have prosperity until
we have government on new
deal and a square deal. The only
alternative is raw deal.
Ambassador Daniels declared
that if all persons had their fair
share which their brains and la
Dor would bring them, it would
be found unnecessary to endow
institutions with millions of dol
lars.
clad the country stuck to the
old fundamental principles" as
serted Ambassador Daniels, "there
would have been no depression. l
am strongly in favor of giving to
the individual whatever his brains
and energy will bring him."
The ambassador charged that
there had been no capitalistic sys-
TEN in the United States for the
past fifty years, but that it had
degenerated into a feudalistic sys-
tenn like that of medieval days
when g few men held the possess
sions and the masses were COM
PEELED to work for them and be
tha;r serfs.
Ambassador Daniels is a great
man. We need more public Off
Gals and newspaper publishers
like Ambassador Daniels. Mrs.
Daniels says that she is not al
together blameless for the fact
that Ambassador Daniels. in spite
Of his many successes and honors,
can today wear the same size hat
he did thirty years ago. But Mrs.
Daniels herself is great. It is my
experience and observation that
wherever you find a great man,
you find somewhere behind him. a
great woman.

THE GOVERNMENT IN BANKING

If private tanker were to tell every Borrower
how to manage his business what to payShs
ployes and with whom to deal, his arrogation Of
power would be deeply resented. Yet whenever
government enters the banking business, there is
great danger that this kind of dictatorial control
over industry will result
Indeed complete divorce of public lending
functions from political activities is practically i'm
possible. For that reason the entry of the RFC
into the business of providing direct loans for in
dustry has aroused serious misgvings. The regu-
lations just issued, announcing the conditions un-
der which such loans will be made, tend to CEN
firm these Washington Post.

Ambassador Daniels asserted
that there is still a small group
in America which goes to bed ev-
cry night hoping and praying that
there will be another era like the
one in 1926 to 1928, when men
thought issuing securities and
phantom stock was a business.
Ambassador Daniels told his lis
teners that Wall Street is afraid
that the new securities act is 60
ing to destroy business.
"Well it is," he prophesied. at
is going to destroy the kind of
business that enables a man, to
put in 1000 and sell $4,000 in
stock to suckers" He added that
from now on the stock exchange
is going to be regulated for the
benefit of all the people.
We are going to see the day in
this country when We shall re-
gard things as great and good not
because of their size. but because
of their character, declared AM
bassador Daniels. "Bigness," he
explained, "is not necessarily
greatness"
"This country has been run for
many years by handful of peo-
pie" said Ambassador Daniels.

IS SOCIALISM ABSURD?

Donald r. Richberg. speaking IN rofS
Worth. Texas, said that talk OF dictator
ship in this country is absurd. 1t IS to be
hoped that Mr.. Richberg and other BRAN
trusters and new dealers have definitely
come to that conclusion. 1t is certain that
in the early days of the administrator
many of these gentlemen did not hold TO
that view. 1t is reasonably certain that
some of them yet have leanings to and
longings for the debating business. The
Times-News can call the names Of certain
gentlemen highly connected with the ad-
ministration, who have not done or said
anything to convince the country that they
are not ready to go into the debating bust
ness if a first class opportunity is offered
As long as these men hold responsible
public positions the people of the United
States have ample reasons for keeping
their eyes open for signs of the dictator
ship.
AS a matter of fact, in so far as these
men can control and shape the policies OF
the country, it is steadily headed for So
cialism, which is one form of dictatorship.
Few people in the United States appear to
realize how far the country has plunged
into Socialism, or how difficult it is going
to be to face about and return to the gov
eminent of the Constitution, the represen-
tative government founded by the fathers
of our country.
The majority of the people are evident
" satisfied, temporarily at least, with the
mess of pottage for which they have trad
ed their birthright to the smirking Tug
wells and men of that ilk, who have a
strangle hold on the administration and
compel a rubber stamp Congress to do
their bidding
However, there is little chance that the
country will go all the way into Socialism.
Probably it is the dim outline of the hand
writing on the wall which causes Mr..
Richberg and others to take the positions
they are so fervently heralding at present.
The people of the country are not unani-
nous in support of Socialism. The much
advertised Literary Digest poll, which
claims to have unearthed the fact that the
new deal has grown in popularity since
the last national election, also discloses the
fact that at least fifty million people in the
country are on the opposing side. That is
a substantial minority; and changes which
may easily occur in brief time may bring
rapid changes in conditions. Mr.. Richberg,
Mr.. Tugwell and their cohorts are not un-
mindful of the rapidity with which the
people of the country change their minds
and their voting.
Dictator talk in this country is absurd.
We have Mr.. Richberg's word for it. We
hope Mr.. Richberg knows what he is talk
ing about; but we do not believe his view
is correct, if the country continues for two
or three years longer on the course it has
been on for the past year and half.

 As matter of fact, Fourth of July is for the young people of the nation: and what is more, they seem to know it. Outside the parades take place of army and navy units, inspiring and 1uickening the blood if any per sons breast. In Nome we don't have a parade of the militia to remember to us that this Is the 4th of July. but we do have pro gram of literary and. sport feat ures which amply brings to mind that once again it is Kids Day" for the nation and that we sl.ou.d I.n SOHtlHIhS 'I bpI It.
 The City of Ncme is sponsoring this years Fourth of July Cele- bration. They ;, have arranged q literary program to be given in the morning, tomorrow, followed in. the afternoon by a program of sports. The sports program is Usually one of interest In which, the boys and girls of Nome enjoy themselves to the fullest extent. Tn addition to regular American sports, there is the added attrac- ltiOn of Eskimo sports, sports (which have come down through history with the tribes of Eski- mos. They are especially interest," ling to observe Tn te evening a Ibig dance has been arranged for. It will be free fo everyoRer@ and everyone is inyitedo to attend.
 All in all the planning of a day for the children and grown lups of Nome, has been well taken care of.
 f There is only one precaution
 which should be taken and that is: do not allow the children or any one else for that matter, to shoot of firecrackers and other explosive packages on sthe wooden streets
 of the city. The fire hazard is too great to take chances. There
