INTEREST CENTERS
IN DROUGHT AREA
Packing and Dairy Firms
Watch Every Capital
Relief Move.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 16.-With more
than nalf of the Nations cattle and
calves, uilch cows, sheep and lambs,
and about two-thirds of its swine on
farms in the 16 drought-stricken
States, every relief move made by
Washington Is being watched with In
tense interest by the meat packing
and dairying industries.
Immediate purchases of cattle and
hogs by the Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration, as ordered by
President Roosevelt, will not only
conserve much-needed supplied OF
feed and water in some localities, but
will prevent wholesale dumping on
markets of animals which would
starve within a few weeks if not
slaughtered.
The dairying and packing indus
tries, up to the start of this year
showed less improvement than other
phases of agriculture brought under
the agricultural adjustment act. part
ly because their dislocation was more
severe and partly because they do not
lend themselves to the short-term
planning of other basic commodities
A study of inventories of livestock
on farms at the start of this year, as
compared with the same date a year
ago. however, reveals the extent of
the industry in the dry area and
throws some light on the Govern
ments program.

determined to play with fire, perhaps
the best thing is to allow them to

eff Americans want to play with
communism - socialism -bolshevism

anxious to follow the lot of the

do it. It's their funeral. At least

It's unfortunate that some of the
members of the black "brain trust"
in Washington have seen fit to allow
their personal differences and en-
mites to carry them so far off their
course and purpose. Instead of con-
centrating on the job and seeing
what can be done to give 100000
Negroes their share of the "new
deal' they are writing lengthy Phil
lippics to the Negro press telling how
thoroughly they dislike each other
and how incompetent the other fel.
low is.
The Negro Iayman doesn't care a
single, solitary fig about the dirty
linen they insist upon washing while
Rome burns, but the Negro masses
are vitality interested in all phases of
the recovery program, especially the
measures that effect them directly.
Members of the so-called "black
cabinet" cannot possibly give their
best service in protecting and safe
guarding this interest when they are
busy telling each other to go to helL
What will happen is the new deal
will be passed all around and the
brethren will still be squabbling
among themselves. Of course, a few
will wax fat-a few in the key posi-
tions-but what about the masses
whose interest they are supposed to
serve?
