based on field studies by corps
of students directed by DR..
Rupert B. Vance of the Uni
versity of North Carolina and
Prof. Charles S. Johnson of Fisk
University. and their associates. DR..
Johnson and two colleagues COM
piled the brief volume.
The student researchers found,
according to the book. that five and
half million white persons and
more than three million Negroes are
engaged in the cotton fields under
conditions described as often worse
than in slavery days.
AAA Helps Landlords
To the charge of landlords that
these people are shiftless. the au-
thors reply: 1T is this wretched
economic system in the cotton belt
that has made them So
AS for the AAA. they say its as
sistance has been largely for the
landlords and merchants. Small
land holdings, where this now prop
ertyless class could be assured Of al
least subsistence. and could per-
haps harvest some cotton for cash
are suggested as the only adequate
solution.
Here are some of the findings set
forth:
More than one third of all tenants
IN the South. and more than half of
the Negro tenants, are troopers
that is, in the lowest category of
poverty and dependence.
No Hope of Progress
Landlords seek the more indus
trious choppers and then keep them
in peonage through the credit sys-
tenn of providing furnish food
and shelter until the crop in har-
vested, and through the caste sys-
tenn of the plantation social order.
Thus, with initiative paying a pen
atty and no hope to progress. the
authors say, choppers soon learn
shiftlessness.
Here is description taken from
the book:
The cultural landscape of the
cotton belt has been described as a
miserable panorama of implanted
shacks, rain-eullied fields, stray
CLING fences. rattle-trap Fords. dirt,
poverty, disease, drudgery and
monotony that stretches for thou
sand miles across the cotton belt
The threat of mechanical farm
ing to add enforced idleness TO the
misery of the poor people in the
rural South is declared to make
some solution imperative.
Cotton Belt Will Move West
The broad acres of the Southwest
are more suitable for mechanical
ton. There four pillow tractor can
cut planting costs to $500 an acre.
Sl4.20 under the small-plot system
With a cropper. mule and one pillow.
Thus naturalization will move the
cotton belt west, leaving millions of
field hands stranded in the Old
South.
Compounded of bad economics
and degrading social conditions.
cotton culture faces sweeping
changes" the survey concludes.
What is to become of the half
million families 100000 in
dlviduals-who no longer are needed
as cotton tenants?
The alternatives seem to be
starvation permanent support on
relief rolls, the finding of new work
IN the cities. or reorganization of
farming in the old cotton states
The government is urged by the
authors to aid in bringing about a
wider distribution of land owner shin.

OF speculation. Whether the Re
ing it's excess reserve require
ments I do not know. but an at
tempt 10 do this would at least
clear the boards skirts and would
serve notice on Wall Street as to
where the board stands.
CECOND, the small amount of
~ brokers loans is difficult to UNI
derstand in view Of the heavy mar
ket volume. 1t has not passed
s797 900 900, which is not heavy.
The explanation offered is, first,
that margins are larger and hence
less bank money is going into the
market: second. that stock prices
are lower and hence a smaller sum
is required to finance speculation;
third. that large part of the trad
ing is professional, consisting Of
hourly turnoverS which require
no borrowing.
But there may be another eX-
PLANTATION. It is that banks are
lending directly to customers
rather than through brokers. | do
not charge that this is so or that
it Is being done by all banks. 1t
is rumored in Wall Street that it
is being done; and the Federal Re-
serve Board. under the Exchange
Act. can make it impossible. This
technique might be used to avoid
the restrictions on margins in the
act.
THIRD the greatest harm has,
i | believe. resulted from the
statement of the chairman of the
Reserve Board about stock prices.
Some time ago | recalled the record
of Mr.. Coolidge and Secretary Mel
lon in the market.
Whenever it needed boost. they
could always be relied on to make
a boosting statement. 1t conceiva-
bly, would be a sad thing il the pres
ent Reserve Board head followed
this bad course.
Unfortunately. the whole episode
illustrates what is now quite OBJ
vious. that the Administration and
most of the business world want
the stock market to 60 up. The
warnings of others will be put down
as CrOakinoS as theV were in 1923
and 1927. when the foundations
were being laid for the vast ruin
Of 1929.
This Administration is committed
to the theory that the way to pro-
duce prosperity is to raise prices.
OF course. that can produce pros
perity for some and for brief mo-
ment. But it has been demonstrate
ed that it Is the way to disaster in

REQUIREMENTS OF OLD-AGE
PENSION GRANTS

Cecil countians who want old-age
pensions will be required to answer
a series of detailed questions and
submit to exhaustive examinations by
pension officials it has been announc-
ed by Lee Dopkin, head of the pen
sion committee for the State, ap-
pointed by the Board of State Aid
and Charities.
The prolonged study of each indi-
vidual case, Mr.. Dopkin told local
welfare officials, will tend to prevent
any possible fraud on the part of the
pension applicants.
Among the statements which must
be attested by the applicants are the
following:
L. have attained the age of IS
years.
2. 1 am not able to support my
self and have no children or other

ately preceding the date of this appli-
cation.

ment of real estate, money in bank
or other assets in order to qualify

tutional care (this applies to those

sentatives of the Board of State Aid

Towns like Elkton, famous as
marriage marts, no longer will be
