NEW POTATO PLAN

F we are to attempt nationwide control of potato
production, the substitute program mapped out
by the AAA potato growers committee would seem to
have much better prospects than the palpably unen-
forceable statute now on the books
The last, hastily improvised by Congress- requires
policing of every patch producing five bushels or
more, forcing the law upon all potato growing farm
ers whether they like it not egalizng only those
potatoes in packages bearing government stamps,
mountaineering all channels of marketing from the
field to the market basket and shopping on Gus
toners as well growers and dealers.
The substitute plan would affect only growers who
market so bushels require twothirds vote of
the growers to keep the law operative from year to
year, eliminate consumer liability, and remove stamp
tax restrictions on farm consumer transactions.
Even if the whole army of unemployed were put
to work potato policemen. doubt if the present
law could be enforced. The substitute plan if ap-
proved by Congress and given the overwhelming
and continued support of potato growers might pos
sibly be made effective

DOES THE BISHOP WANT WAR?

DISHOP WILLIAM T. MANNING of the Protestant
- Episcopal Diocese of New York took the United
States sharply to for its present neutrality policy
and accused it of Sinking its rghtful share of world
responsibility.
I'VE must not talk as though the of force is
always immoral" he said "or though there is no
difference between those who engage in police action
for the preservation of peace and those who wage
deliberate and aggressive war
The bishop remains undeviatingy loyal to the
church militant He preaching substantially the
same doctrine to a conference of mayors in March,
1916 when he told them. Preparedness adequate
preparedness will command peace" and, there
worse things than war" Walter Mills in his Road
to War quotes the bishop as saying a few months
later Our moral sense nation is dulled due lin
part to a vast amount Of well-meant, but mistaken
and misleading and really unchristan teaching about
peace
The American public is in particularly favorable
position today to judge such remarks There are mil
lions of adults who preserve vivid memory of our last
venture into police action for the preservation of
peace" and who have arrived at independent con-
victons as to that really unchrstian teaching about
peace
These experienced observers will honor the cloth
Bishop Manning wears as the badge of professional
man Of peace They will listen respectfully whenever
he chooses to speak a kind word for peace. But
when he insists that I'VE not separate ourselves
from the issues and the consequences of the situa-
ton in Ethiopia" we suspect they will note the
flaw in his logic that is so apparent in looking back
ward toward 1916.

+ thing is done to make safety popular.
The impetus which builds up in back of fads
and national sports such as baseball and football

accomplished if safe driving became faddish
The fataliStc viewpoint prevalent is the big
stumbling block in front of traffic safety campaigns
Reporters vino have attended the scene of many

which are usually on the order of: Well, guess

manned, dead and dying

be played by American motorists as they roll along
