They have no buying power and
until IVA no hope of acquiring
any. IVA feels that it is far
more logical to pour money into
this section of the United States
to create this buying power than TO
fling billions in loans into foreign
lands to develop new markets for
American goods.
Rehabilitation of the soft coal
industry is one of TWAS chief
problems. This business, always
the problem child of the economic
system. has grown up during the
depression into an adult inStitu-
tional case. The mines have de-
veloped capacity annually of
7O00O0,000 tons to meet demand
of less than 500,000,000 tons.
The demand continues to decline
due to oil burners. improved COM
bustion methods by railroads and
electrical industries, improved
efficiency in smelling and coking.
1t is possible that soft coal as a
fuel is on the way out. The whal-
ing industry disappeared as a fuel
supply.
IVA feels that the answer lies
in the use of coal as a raw ma
terial to substitute for the wan
ing fuel market. IVA Chairman
Morgan told the Appalachian Coal
Association that he wished to CO.
operate in developing this new
market and that IVA money
would be spent in research along
this line.
THE coal industry is deter
i mined to destroy the Tennes-
see Valley Authority" came the
official answer. 1T will destroy it
by political means, by financial
means, or by any means in its
power"
The IVA is untroubled by the
coal industry's attitude. 1t believes
that an electro-chemical industry
can be built in the Valley. For
every kilowatt hour of hydro-elec-
trio energy used in such an indus
try it has been calculated that 81
pounds of soft coal will be needed
as a raw material.
1.-THE Tennessee Valley Author
ity will not fight the coal indus
try" declared IVA Director David
E. Lilienthal. No amount of
goading will change our course.
This is an economic problem, not
a debate or a duel"
The cotton industry is an
equally knotty problem. In order
to operate proftably it must have
not merely cheap labor, but really
peon labor, particularly during the
picking season. This labor must
merely subsist during the year
and take the lowest wages during
the harvest.
DUT coolie labor that can not
- buy goods is helpless to bring
about an economy of abundance.
The question confronting the
IVA Is whether Southern cotton
can compete with the native la
Dor in the growing fields that
Britain, France and Russia are
establishing in Asia and Africa.
And if it can compete is it
sound policy to have hundreds of
thousands of mi-starved poems
existing in the United States?
The cotton economy is breaking
down in the lowlands just as the
coal economy is wrecked in the
mountains. 1t is TWAS job to pick
up the pieces and put them to-
gether again for a permanent
economy of a different sort.

Soil.

Actually the report deals with
much more. 1t covers particular
" the growth of unionism and
communism among agricultural
workers.
Meanwhile, the plight of the
Southern share-croTper continues
to be severe. 1t has become a prob
lem not only for the Department
of Agriculture. but also for the
Federal Relief Administration.
They find their relief rolls
mounting in Southern states. and
want to know whether this results
from cotton tenants being dis
possessed.
Harry Hopkins has sent a spe-
cialiSt into the field to make an
intensive study of the whole farm
tenant situation.
He is careful to avoid saying
that the cotton reduction program
under the direction of his good
friend Chester Davis has aggra-
waited his relief problem.
He is making no charges. But
he wants the facts.

he demanded.
The secretary tried again to
persuade him that his project for
constructing a second line of
military defense" was something
for the War Department to re-
view, not the Relief Administra-
ton.
But I propose to give employ
ment," he declared, Ito 1000 per-

This was a signal for the other
heel-coolers to flock around him.
The Office vas full of job-appli-
cants. They pushed up to the
man with an idea and offered
their services.

cried. I'll give you all jobs. You

THE TABLE
Food Suggestions
By MRS. MARY E. DAGUE

The Pilgrim families who landed at Plymouth Rock were the first white persons to taste native Amer lean cranberries, which grew in profusion in the nearby swamps of Cape Cod.
 Ignorant of vitamins and the hu- man need for iron and iodine, the Indians nevertheless regarded the cranberry with awe for its health giving and life prolonging qualities. An although rich in these elements, my family finds the luscious tart ness sufficient excuse for eating cranberry condiments.
 Cranberry sauce and cranberry Jelly are traditional with turkey, but you will find the taste of cranberry quite as delicious with roast pork and veal. Cranberry ice often takes the place of sauce or jelly at a formal dinner. Cranberry sherbet makes splendid dessert after 8 heavy dinner, and cranberry tapioca pudding is an inexpensive dessert suitable for any simple dinner.
 Cranberry Juice
 One quart cranberries, cups wa ter, cup sugar, lemon.
 Cook berries and water for ten minutes. Strain through cheesecloth. Bring juice to the boiling point, sift fiji sugar and cook not more than thres minutes. Just long enough to be sure the sugar is completely dis solved. Chill and add juice of lemon when ready to serve.
 There is an uncooked cranberry
