Huey Long Fought
A Good Fight

To the Editor Of The Times:
I am one Of those who loved
and admired the colorful Huey
Long. I think his murder was the
cruelest and most cowardly crime
this country has seen in an age.
He was an advocate of better
things for the poor and the op-
pressed Of our land. His courage
was remarkable. His record of &C
complishments for his State put
him in the forefront of American
statesmen.
I think he was much misrepre-
sented by the newspapers. He
fought a good fight and kept the
faith Of the common people.
Louisiana has good roads, free
text books and colleges that will
stand as monuments to his mem
ory.
All good people condemn the
"deep damnation of his taking
off" He is a martyr to the right.

To the Editor Of The Times:
The neutrality bill as passed by
the last Congress was meant, no
doubt. to keep the United States
out Of any conflict which is of no
interest to this country. 1t may
serve to do this and it may not.
Even as hastily and badly as it
was written it would be possible,
If the law were administered in
the right manner, 90 keep us out
Of any such war, but the loop
holes left in it constitute a men
ace to the peace of cur country.
The trouble lies in that part
which empowers the President to
name those products which will
not be allowed to go to a warning
country. The President may
under these terms allow every
thing or nothing to be exported,
as he may choose.
There are no established inter
national laws to define what is
contraband of war. Today, ma
tionS the world over are beginning
to realize that such a list would
include every product that a ma
ton might export. Those manu-
featured articles used directly in
making war have long been recog-
nized as contraband. If it is to
be unlawful to export these things,
should 1t be any more lawful TO
ship food to the civilian popula-
ton Of a warning country that
they might devote more Of their
energy to producing other war
EaterialS and slow up the produc-
ton Of agricultural products? Or
should it be any more lawful or
right to ship raw materials for ul-
innate consumption in producing
instruments of war or for the feed
ing, clothing and transportation
Of soldiers at the front?
If the President permits these
things and denies the expectation
Of manufactured instruments Of
war. he is denying to certain
groups privileges granted to the
rest Of the people. This might be
considered unconstitutional, and
in any event it would provoke
hard feelings from one or more Of
the warning countries.
This might easily happen in
case Of war between Italy and
Ethiopia. Should the President
ban only direct instruments Of war
for export, Italy would have a de-
cisiVe advantage. Her lack Of raw
materials is evident, but her manu-
featuring plants are ample to
transform imported materials into
instruments Of war. On the other
hand. Ethiopia would be unable to
take advantage of these raw mate
rialS because she has not the
means of transforming them into
desired war goods. Therefore,
Ethiopia would be denied all the
things she needed while Italy
would receive necessary goods in
abundance.
The real solution to this prob
lem is to ban exports to all war
ring nations and to other nations
for re-export to those nations.

Combinations Committee, elected
at the farmers mass meeting here
On July 20, by persistent activity
has learned that the government
has not yet made any fundamental
change in its plan to grab all of
the crop left over after expenses
for payment on the feed and seed
loans.
This means to the farmers here
that if harvesting and threshing
expenses equal 80 per cent of the
value of the crop the remaining
20 per cent will be applied to these
loans and if these expenses equal
60 percent of the crop value the
farmers will get only so percent
released which will not be enough
to cover expenses.

MISSOURI FARMERS
STOP FORECLOSURE
Two Sales are Halted by Di-
rect Action. u. S. Marshal
Is Held FOR Several Hours

Kansas City, Mo. - Farmers
In two counties of northern Mis-
court halted attempted foreclosur-
es by their organized mass action
on August Is and 16.
On Aug. Is five hundred enrag-
ed farmers converged on the Gin
ton County courthouse in Platts-
burg, siezed Henry l.. Dillingham;,
United States Marshal and his
henchmen, and held them prison
ers for several hours.
The farmers, coming from Nor
thern Missouri and Southern Iowa,
assembled to prevent the fore
closure sale of a 320-acre farm be-
longing to Sam Devilbiss, 90 years
old.
In trying to excuse the presence
of the three bailiffs who accom-
panied him, Dillingham; stated that
they had come from Kansas City
to Plattsburg "just for the ride"
During the course of the scuffle
George Colbern, one of the bailiffs
lost his trousers.
Grab Papers
When the farmers recognized
Dillingham; as he arrived they
surrounded him. One farmer tore
the foreclosure papers out of his
hand while others searched the
bailiffs for weapons. The enraged
farmers forced Dillingham; back
in his car and kept him there.
Later on when the farmers had
the situation well in hand, Dilling-
ham was allowed to get out of the
car and sit under a tree in the
courtyard instead of in the stuffy
car. In order to make sure that
Dillingham; did not move the farm
ers debated the tires and removed
the carburetor from the car. After
5 o'clock the tires were pumped up
again and the carburetor replaced.
Sam Devilbliss' farm was mort
gagged for $4,000 to the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance company of
New Jersey. Devilbliss who has
been farming in Clinton County
for 45 years has paid up on the
mortgage until last year when con-
ditions made it impossible for him
to continue.
