SPUD GROWERS
URGE PASSAGE
WARREN BILL
Law Will Give States A Quota To
Be Broken Down By Coun-
ty Quotas

Potato growers in the United States
have urged Congress to pass the War
rem bill, which would make potatoes
a basic commodity and enable officials
of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration to develop a program to
adjust the production of potatoes to
market requirements.
The Warren bill was passed by Con-
gress as an amendment to the AAA
Act and the President signed the bill
during the past week.
Under the terms of the bill the
States will be given a potato quota,
which will be broken down into coun-
ty quotas will be prorated among the
potato growers as an allotment, based
on their production during the past
few years.
All potatoes must be marketed in
containers specified by the Internal
Revenue Department, each container
must have revenue tsamps attached.
Growers who wish to ship more than
their allotment of potatoes will have
to pay penalty of As cents bushel.
Somerset potato growers are urged
to keep a record of their sales ac-
counts, purchases of fertilizer, barrels,
bags etc., in order that they will have
evidence of their past production, when
the time comes to furnish each grow
err an allotment.
1t is important that the evidence
will be complete as possible, in order
that the county can obtain fair
quota, based on past production of po-
tatoes.
Leading potato growers endorsed
the bill as they feel that anything is
worth trying after their experience
of the past few seasons of trying to
market more potatoes than the market
would consume.

WHEAT
CONTRACTS FOR
1886 ACREAGE
New Four Year Farmers Wheat
Contract Will Be Ready
By This Week

Signers of wheat contracts in
Maryland may plant for 1886 max
imum of IS per cent of their base
acreage as compared with the tenta-
tive maximum of 85 per cent indicated
in the announcement of the new wheat
program, according to word received
by c. 2. Keller, county agent for Som
erset County.
The increased acreage, it is explain
ed by AAA officials, is to assure do
nestle consumers of continued ample
wheat supplies, and in addition is ex-
pected to benefit farmers by placing
this country in a strengthened posi-
ton in the world export market. This
is considered especially important in
view of smaller world supplies of
wheat. Reports of the Bureau of Ag-
ricultural Economics indicate that the
world surplus was considerably re-
duced during the 1934-1935 crop year.
Present prospects indicate that the
world surplus may be further reduced
during the 1886 crop year. Any
further reduction, it is believed, makes
the chances for exports of wheat
from the United States somewhat
brighter.
Carryover of wheat in this country
on July l is said to be about normal,
but spring wheat has suffered severe
damage by rust.
The new four-year wheat contract
is expected to be ready to offer to
farmers by the end of this month, ac-
cording to word received by Mr.. Kel-
Ter.

COMMISSIONERS
ADVOCATE A
DIRECT ROAD
Met Roads Commission In Bal
timere On Tuesday Last
For Discussion

The Worcester County Board of
Commissioners, together with Senator
Milton L. Veasey and County Treas
urer, Roger w. Landlord, met with
the State Roads Commission on Tues
day in Baltimore, advocating the
early construction of direct highway
between Pocomoke City and Sails
bury. Delegations from Wicomico
and Somerset were also present.
The road under consideration would
begin on Route No. IS at Pocomoke
and intersect the same highway again
just north of the Salisbury city limits.
It's cost is estimated at approximate
ly $1,00O,000.
The Roads Commission promised to
consider the project in connection
with the three-year program now be-
ing formulated. An Eastern Shore
boulevard, starting near the Sassa-
fras river and going to point near
Cordova, is one of the projects for
which the Roads Commission has ask
ed a Federal Public Works Admins
tration grant.
This road, if built, will reduce the
distance between Pocomoke City and
Salisbury from &c miles to about 18.
1t is generally favored by local inter-
ests and numerous kilograms urging
its construction were sent by those
who were unable to attend the meet
ing of the Commission. There is
minority opinion, however, that its
advantages to Pocomoke are debat-
able, but those holding it are not fight
ing openly the highway.

r DIES BIG IDEA

IF this country ever SlapS a graduated tax on
bigness the Gargantuan ideas of Rep. Mar
tin Dies should yield rich revenues.
The gentleman from Texas is pushing his
bill in Congress that he claims will solve the
unemployment problem and at the same time
start all our idle ships blowing the deep loaded
with human cargoes. He would deport the
three and one-half million aliens alleged to
be here illegally, bar all pioneer aliens who
have no relative. in this country, give the four
million legal aliens a year in which to become
citizens, force all aliens to obtain work permits
from the Labor Department, issuable only
when no native can be found for the job.
Mr.. Dies not only has this big idea, but
he claims to have big backing. He says he has
$4,000 indorsing letters and an organization
forming under the name of THE Americans"
that soon will have 10 million members.
IF there were no aliens in this country" he
argues, I'VE would not have an unemployment
problem"
Why, it's so simple it's incredible no one
thought of it before. The formula might be
carried to its logical limits by making even
more room in our overcroWded country. Mr..
Dies could arrange the deportation of all those
with alien ancestors, until finally there were
only a half-million or SO Indians left. But
t~hen-horrible thought-we might lose Mr..
Dies.

E. Watson. Republican of Indiana, stood in the
Senate Chamber and said:
1t is my prediction today, deliberately
made on the floor of the United States Senate.
hat after the passage Of this bill this after
noon, the skies will clear and within a COM
paratively brief time the sun again will shine
and bring back prosperous conditions and
happy days to the people of the United States.
I here and now predict. and ask my fell
low Senator's to recall this prediction in the
days 10 come. that if this bill is passed this
nation will be on the upgrade financially,
economically and commercially within so days.
and that within a year from this time We shall
have regained the peak of prosperity"
This being midsummer five years later. and
since Senator Watson asked that his prediction

DANGER IN CHANCE FRIENDS"

TINE shocking murder of Attorney Toward
Il Carter Dickinson in Detroit seems to
point a very old and homely moral-that the
man who is stopping in a strange city can't
be too careful about the chance acquaintance
he makes.
This lawyer, evidently, did only what in
Vulnerable other men have done without mis-
hap-made the acquaintance of some pleas
ant-seeming young people in a big city hotel.
1t was just the sort of thing that happens
every day, harmless enough in all conscience;
party girls, a few drinks, an auto ride; a
welcome bit of relaxation, probably, for a man
who had been working hard.
But in this case it meant death. For the
pleasant strangers were a fine assortment in
deed, and the New York lawyer paid for his
evenings relaxation with his life.
The pleasure world" of any great city has
some queer and sinister fringes. The safest
course for the stranger is to give it a clean
miss.

THE ROAD TO PEACE -. AND WAR

ID EP. HAMILTON FISH rakes the Admin
~ i~stration over the Goals for its "lacka-
daisical" handling of Abyssinia's appeal for
enforcement of the Briand-Kellogg peace pact
against Mussolini.
Then, warning that Europe is on the verge
Of a war that threatens to spread throughout
the world, he paradoxically adds that the
United States should stay out of this or any
other armed conflict.
Mr.. Fish is typical of many well-meaning
citizens. They demand that the United States
should follow, at one and the same time, two
policies that are Numerically opposed.
They insist. first. that Uncle Sam enforce"
world peace, even in remotest Africa. Second,
they demand that he stay out of trouble.
A nations influence in world affairs is in
direct proportion to its ability and readiness
to enforce its edicts. Denmark is just as en-
lightened as Great Britain. But when Britain
says thus far and no farther" other powers
take notice. China has five times the popu-
lation of Japan. Yet no one pays attention to
China in affairs of this kind.
America might possibly be able to enforce"
peace in Ethiopia. But if we told II Duce to
Slopt VIZ WOO4O AAdNG W ( I'LL ullOSISJdAlQ OIldG
we were prepared to back up our command
with force. And that is the road to war.
Peace could be enforced today if all the
great powers got together and announced that
the first to go to war would have all the others
on top of it automatically and at once-and if
they lived up to their word.
Japan seized Manchuria and Jehol because
she was confident that no other strong power
would intervene. Italy will take over Ethiopia
unless convinced she will first have to over
come some other strong power.
Great Britain, France and the League of
Nations have shrunk from the task of block
ing the Roman road to Adds Ababa. Do the
people of this country want to take on the job?
We doubt it. The United States attitude
should be, first, that here is a job for the
League. and second. that if the League acts,
the United States will not interfere in any
way-if the League imposes a blockade, we
shall respect it.
But We should not undertake to pull out Of
the fire the African chestnuts of Britain and
France. Not unless We are looking for another
war.
