Somebody over in the next county
had put up a barb-wire fence
There were getting to be SO many
people around
A man couldn't have any liberty any
more
That is the trouble down in Abys-
sinia-
Some Italians started in to survey
border lines
Camel pastures had stretched all
over those desert lands
The important points were the water
holes
Shifting border lines little would
probably take in some oasis
Which furnished something to fight
about
Same thing up on the Mongolian
border lately
The japanese are accustomed to
city lots and small tracts with stakes
all set
But even the rivers wander about
up in northern Asia
Some of those boundary lines never
have been staked
But they are going to be located,
now, and marked in red
Too many states in this country,
There were only thirteen to start
with, $50 years ago
Massachusetts straddled back up
where Maine is now
Nobody knew what the western end
of Pennsylvania looked like
They never did find out where Mary
land went to-
Until somebody surveyed the Mason
and Dixon line
Then, suddenly there were twenty
states
Every one Of them claiming the
same states rights
Now they've got the whole conti-
nent covered with states
There is no more free land left for

And so the rugged individuals are
stalking out the continent to corpora
tons
Everywhere you turn you run into
one Of these legal persons"
One Of these things with the same
constitutional rights as a man
A corporation that doesn't have to
eat, nor wear any clothes
The thing never marries, but it may
have lit of little ones
Every new corporation seems to
take up lot of space, somehow
The more corporations we get, the
less room there is for families
They are supposed to give profits,
like a COW gives milk
But these profits come from making
and handling goods
Things which human beings do need
in order to live
Such as food, cotton cloth, shoes,
and houses to live in.
Sometimes it looks as though we
either have too many people
Or else we are getting an over
dose of corporations
But if we kill off the surplus popu-
lation-
That cuts down the size of the mar
ket for corporation goods
Continue in that direction, and cor
porations would have no customers
Which would mean slow suicide for
corporations
On the other hand, cutting off the
breeding of corporations
Would not have any necessary effect
upon the population
Not unless corporations are abso-
lutely necessary to produce food
x
Probably we ought to figure it out
carefully
Not necessarily by anything like
planned economy"
Economic planning is frowned upon
just now by the super-court-
The Liberty League does not per
nit Of any liberties with planning
But anyhow, we can sort of make
a scheme to save the corporations
At least, until we are sure that all
the population is not doomed
There ought to be some kind Of a
| person left on earth
Probably the kind that doesn't have
to eat would be the best

The most deadly weapons of eco
nomic warfare are embargoes, export
subsidies, and exchange controls.
Long continued, these lead inevitably
to such state of unbalance a d
misery in certain nations as to cause
those nations in their anguish to go
to war. 1t has been suggested that
the United States should subsidize
the expectation of farm products
while at the same time preventing
importation of farm products by
embargoes. Any scheme of this
sort not only results in our exporting
our soil fertility and getting nothing
in return but it incurs the deadly
enmity of farmers over the entire
world. Our farmers will not tolerate
subsidized exports to come into the
United States. Neither will the
farmers of England or France, or any
other nation tolerate similar action
them. We can use a mod
est form of export subsidy, such as
we used with Northwest wheat, or
California walnuts, and temporarily
alleviate minor difficulty. But we

cannot use any principle of this sort
in big way without mourning inter-
national i'll will. This is exactly the
kind of thing we would not like to
have foreign nations do to us on a
large scale.
Our farmers mean business, and
they are learning to cooperate to
conserve tn cir soil resources, to
maintain their economic security, to
enjoy the deeper things of life, and
to work for Peace in the United
States, in the Americas, and eventu-
ally in the world. Such a dream of
Peace and security in a fertile land
filled with contented God-fearing
farmers was the dream of the
Prophets of the Old Testament. Their
mortal eyes were disappointed, but
their spiritual eyes saw the triumph
of their dream. Ours is the oppor
tunity here in these Americas to
fulfil that dream of the Prophets of
the Old Testament. Their mortal
eyes were disappointed, but their
spiritual eyes saw the triumph of
their dream. Ours is the opportunity
here in these Americas to fulfil that

World Peace. We quote timely ex-
cerpts from speech by Secretary
Of Agriculture Wallace and delivered
before the American Farm Bureau
Federation at Pasadena last week.
"Great as is the problem of Con-
servation an even more fundamental
one is Peace. In this connection /
wish to talk about the contribution
which farmers in the United States
can make to the cause of Peace.
Farmers the world over like to talk
about Peace in sentimental way,
and then stand for highly national
istic trading policies which inevitably
lead to war. Farmers furnish their
sons as cannon fodder in time of
war, and suffer far more from the
inevitable post war deflation h a n
any other class. Farm hatred of
war is so great, l am sure that as
farmers come to understand more
and more the fundamental require
ments of a safe Peace for the United
States, they will be willing to make
their contribution.
The danger of the United States
getting into serious war comes
from the fact that we export goods
to Europe and when war comes one
side or the other interferes with that
trade. Our farmers seeing this
danger and not liking certain types
of foreign governments have urged
that we withdraw as much as posi-
BILE from Europe and Asia. On the
basis of this theory the thing to do
would be to build up our trade more
and more with those of our near
neighbors who have similar political
ideals.
The farmers are disillusioned about
Europe and the Geneva League be-
cause they feel that both are SYM
bols for war, but they like the idea
of increasing cooperation among the
American Republic. do too, but I
think farmers and the rest of US
should count the cost and be willing
to pay small part of it.
Latin America and Canada produce
chiefly agricultural products, and
they send a large part of their sur
plus to Europe. If we are willing
to do our part in cementing friendly
relations with the Americas, we must
be willing to accept small increases
in the imports of certain agricultural
products.
In spite of all talk to the contrary,
agriculture has received far squarer
deal from the Administration officials
handling trade agreements than she
ever got from Congressional Com
mittees subject to lobbying and log
rolling. In thirteen of the fourteen
agreements in operation special con-
cessions have been obtained on fresh
fruits and dried fruits most of which
are of interest to California. Canned
fruits have also been treated well in
most agreements. Canada made re-
duction in duty on grapefruit and
oranges. Tropical American coun-
tries, and especially Cuba, used to
take large quantities of our lard, and
now we are prepared to recapture
that market as soon as drouth ceases
to reduce our lard production so
greatly. We have obtained conces-
sions on lard tariffs in ten of the

Living on remote stump ranches
and exhausted dry land wheat far

500 families will receive cash for
their holdings and assistance if de-
sired in relocating on good farms in
established communities. Four fiji
tbs of the land optioned has already
been accepted for purchase and pay
ment will be Forthcoming as titles
are cleared for final tranfer to the
government.
These private lands being acquired
are blocked in with adjacent public
land to form conservation areas
where over 1000workers assigned
to the Resettlement Administration
from WPA rolls are a'redly engag
ed in returning the lands to their
natural cover and developing them
for forest, range, wildfire conser-
conservation and receration.
The two forest conservation areas
include approximately 100000 ac
res of depleted timber land in north
west Washington, and 1900 00t
acres of secondgrowth and burned
