BENEFITS CITED
ON READING OF
AAA EULOC|ES
Higher Prices to Farmers
Listed by Admitting
congressman.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Over
the bier of AAA eulogies were being
pronounced today by congressman
familiar with its effect on farm
communities.
They made these points:
Three months before AAA was
born, farmers were getting 80 cents
bushel for wheat. Yesterday the
price was 81 cents to 81 .02 for differ
ent varieties.
The price Of corn rose during the
life of AAA from 10 cents a bushel
to 81 cents.
Cotton had gone up from 5 cents
pound to 11.38 cents.
Hogs have gone up from S2.73 per
100 pounds to $10.40.
When AAA was born nearly 400
100000 bushels of wheat were on
hand in the United States. There
were 100000 bales of cotton and
corresponding SURPRISES of swine.
TOBACCO and other commodities.
City Breadlines Mount
Thirty million persons were de-
pendent on farms for living. Their
income was 9,65S,oOo,OoO in 1925.
In 1882 it had dropped to $4,2o1,-
100000.
In 1926 the farmers of the country
had spent $2,867 100000 for feed.
seed, fertilizer, machinery, tractors,
trucks, repairs on buildings. and
other expenses of operating their
farms. In 1882 they were able to
spend only $1,351 100000 for this
purpose.
They had spent $4,47S, 1000, 900 for
food, clothing, furniture, household
supplies, transportation, commune
cation, insurance, health, education.
books, vacations, and personal gifts
In 1882 they had only $1,3O2, ZOO, 900
to spend in this way.
AS the farmers stopped brvinp
these things city breadlines grew
longer. 1t was estimated that bv the
spring of 1888 there was one city
worker out of work for each of the
six million farm families no longer
able to buy the goods of factories.
Mail Order Business Up
The spring AAA was born, paint
was off barns in the farm states.
there were leaks in the chicken
house roofs, fences sagged for want
OF staples, fields were. bare of ferti-
llzer. Automobiles, broken down for
want OF repairs, were lacked up on
sklds. Little red schoolhouses were
closed. Taxes for two or three years
past were delinquent and so were
interest payments on mortgages.
The effect of increased farm in
come under AAA on the mail order
business, the business of factories
manufacturing goods sold by mail
order houses, farm implement max
ers, the fertilizer industry and the
railroads has been told repeatedly.
AAA itself cited one example re-
Gently. In the Southeast, where
cotton and tobacco adjustment pro-
grams were in effect, cash income
of farmers increased 500 per cent
in AAA's first year. In that same
time, railroad waybills showed an
increase of 1873 per cent in Ship
ments of industrial and manufac-
tured products into the region. Ship
mentS of automobiles, parts and ac-
cessories increased So per cent.

Farm Problem Now
More InSoluble
Than Ever.
by JOHN T. FLYNN.

NEW YORK, Jan. livery
IN citizen of the United States
should read and re-read the de-
cision of Mr.. Justice Roberts in the
AAA case, and the dissenting cpin-
ion of Mr.. Justice Stone. They are,
indeed, the first Big Berthas to be

end, not having that power it can
not buy" the power by giving
money to a group of farmers on
condition that the farmers will sub
NIT to its regulation. This the
Agricultural Adjustment Act did by
Offering to pay subsidies to farmers
who would submit to conditions
laid down by Congress and the Sec
rotary of Agriculture.
THIRD, the processing tax levied

Us an integral part of this scheme
and, while Congress may tax proc
essors to raise funds for "the gen.
eral welfare" it can not do so to
make effective its regulations over
a subject which belongs excIu-
sively to the states.
This briefly is where we stand
on the law. Where does that leave
farm relief? For the time being
IL Is completely wiped out. But
can Congress now enact any new
measures of farm relief? Has not
the court held Congress can not
regulate agriculture?
Would the equalization fee stand?
Hardly, since that would be open
to the same objections. Would the
domestic allotment plan oe legal?
certainly not, since it could not
be carried out by the government
without Federal ora,,tc
NTOULD the export bounty be
w legal? Perhaps. For Con-
gress does have jurisdiction over
export trade. What else has been
proposed? Literally nothing. The
farm problem is now more insolu-
BILE than ever.

facturers who paid the tax, now
held illegal, be able to get it back?
They can not sue the government
without its consent. Will de-
mand for government consent be
made? Will it be granted?
The government still owes much
money to the farmers under the
act. The AAA induced many farm
ers to curtail their production on
the promise of payments. About
1888, GOO, 900 is still due farmers I'M
der such government promises.
Should the government pay this
money? Where will it come from?
TINE next great point is-where
Il do we go from here? Farm
ers, labor, coal miners, many
groups believe the government
should have the right to deal with
these problems. The states are
powerless.
What can a single state do to
protect it's economy from the wild,
destructive forces which beat on it
from the whole world? The states
can do little. The central gov
eminent is powerleSs under the
Constitution. The result is the
American people are the only peo-
pie in the world who can not deal
with their economic problems.
Beyond doubt this decision
makes it inevitable that we face a
great struggle to amend the Con-
stitution to give the central gov
eminent that power 1t is signifl-
cant that Justice Stone in dissent
ing uttered a solemn warning that
such decisions may result in de-
stroying the rights of the states in
the end.

from the historical records Of

ryl Zanuck cracks out another
movie thriller. Like his Prisoner
Of Shark Island" so is "A Mes
sage to Garcia" based upon an
actual occurrence.
Hubbard got his inspiration for
his immortal essay from the dar.
ing feats of Lieut.. Andrew s.
Rowan (now a captain and living
in San Francisco) who was given
a special duty of delivering mes
sage to the Cuban army chief,
who was, at the time Of all this
warning between Cuba and the
Spanish. in the midst Of swamp
infested jungle.
Rowan's narrow escapes from
death, his struggles to gain his
goal and his eventual success,
naturally, make excellent film
material. Rowan, in this instance,
is portrayed by capable John
Boles.
The histrionic honors Of the
piece, however, go to Wally
Beery, whose performance as the
one-time marine sergeant who
has turned deserter, general crook
and spy for the revolutionists, is
superb. Beery's role is one even
more vigorous than his unforget-
able "Viva Villa" Although he
plays a bad egg," he is the real
hero-a lovable derelict who
gives his life for his country.
Despite one or two rather slow
spots (and these have probably
been eliminated since the pre-
view), George Marshall'S direction
is first rate. Barbara Stanwyck
hasn't much Of dramatic
chance, but she manages nicely.
Alan Hale makes vicious and
dastardly villain. Herbert Mum
din, Mona Barrie, Enrique AcoSta,
Juan loren and others complete
the cast.
II you like adventure (and who
doesn't), then "a Message to Gar
cia" is a cinch to excite the most
jaded Of cinema tastes.
