ly. Mr.. Clements would not &C
cede to this view.
Last year the profits of the
Weekly exceeded fifty thousand
dollars. This year, if our growth
is maintained. they will run into
a much greater amount. .
II have insisted from the first
that such profits were made posi-
BILE by the loyal co-oueration of
the Townsend clubs, and were
therefore a trust fund for Town
send work, and I have felt that if
Mr.. Clements and I became rich
from them our leadership would
be weakened and u sincerity
doubted.
Il know many of you are the
friends of MI. Clements and regret
his withdrawal from the move
ment. But nevertheless, you will
agree with me that Earl and ]
should not become rich out of this
movement and that the profits
from the Townsend Weekly by
right belong to the Townsend or
ganization.
another issue between Mr.
Clements and me sprang from my
determination to democratize oul
organization. He believed auto
cratic power should remain vested
in us. I have commended that re-
sponsibility and power must be
shared by an enlarged directorate
with departmentalized functions
In line with best business prac-
tices. and that the clubs should
have an equal voice in determin-
ing the movement. And here, too
II know even Earl's friends will
agree with my contention.

United States I found an ever in
creasing sentiment against the
d~ictatorial power of the parent

that the Townsend clubs coult
democratically exert a greater
authority and influence. I en-.
deavored for months to convert
Mr.. Clements to this viewpoint
but he has steadily opposed Il

RULES GOVERNING Il
SOIL Bull DING PAYMENTS

As an illustration, suppose 100
acres were in crop in 1895. A 49,
diversion to soil building land
would be IS acres. Assume the
payment will be SO on irrigated
land. Total class I payment equals
IS acres times SO or $50.
End Payment-To be made Is
known as the soil building OF
class Ii payment and is paid fol
carrying out such soil building
practices as are approved by the
secretary of agriculture. In the
above illustration, if the IS acres
converted to soil building crop
are seeded to sweet clover, a rate
of 81 per ere will be paid for
such practice, or SIS.
Sugar beet producers are paid
in addition to the above payment
In an amount equal to 1856 for
each 100 pounds, raw value, of
sugar commercially recoverable
from the normal yields per acre
OF sugar beets for the farm. On
IL tons of beets per acre, produc-
ing 1879 of the sugar at 1917
cents, this payment will equal
$3.50 per acre on the total acreage
planted to beets in 1896. The
sugar beet producer must have at
least 40% of his beet acreage into
soil building crops, either old or
new seeding, to qualify for sugar
beet payments.
The following crops and practic-
es will qualify for soil building or
Glass II payments in Montana
when such payments do not ex-
coed the maximum allowance for
any farm. Such allowance is COM
puted by multiplying the number
OF acres of crop land on the farm
used in 1886 for soil conserving
crops by 81. These conserving
crops include land seeded to such
crops prior to 1886 as well as the
new seeding. Actual payments
are made on the acres seeded in
1885 at rates, and conditions given
below.

BY GASTON NERvAL.

- PEAKING before the Chicago
Council on Foreign Relations,
William Phillips. Undersecre-
~ tary of State, has taken issue
with the assertion, frequently made
by critics of the good neighbor" policy,
that the present administration has
surrendered the right Of protection
of its citizens abroad in an attempt
to gain Latin American good will.
Mr.. Phillips admitted the signing at
Montevideo of a convention on the
rights and duties of states. in which
it was solemnly agreed that mo state
has the right to intervene in the inter-
nal or external affairs Of another" and
he also reiterated the opposition Of
his Government to any kind Of inter-
ference with the freedom, the sover-
eighty, or the internal affairs of the
governments of other nations. But
he added emphatically that this did
not mean that the United States had
renounced the right to protect those
legitimate rights of its citizens which
are generally recognized and accepted
by the law of nations and by special
international convention.
What we have renounced, how
ever" said Mr.. Phillips, lis any right
to claim that because we are more
powerful than our neighbors we can
use that superior force to intervene
in the internal affairs of weaker ma
tions. thereby acting in fragrant dis
regard of their sovereign rights. What
we have renounced is right to estab-
Iish an American police force in other
independent nations whenever the
properties Of the American citizens
resident therein were believed to be
endangered" These are outspoken
words, and in the lips of one SO high
in the conduct OF United States foreign
policies they are doubly significant.
Acknowledges Justice.
They do more than answer the
charge that the rights. or rather the
duties, of protection had been obliter-
ated. In the very act of doing so. they
make differentiation between the two
kinds of protection which have been
involved in inter American relations,
and they implicitly acknowledge the
justice of Latin American complaints
against the former kind, which is now
said to be abandoned forever
Latin Americans have never denied
the right of government to protect
its citizens in a foreign country. if
and when this protection is exercised
through the established channels of
diplomatic negotiation and in accord
afice with certain basic principles upon
which the law of nations is built. But
the problem is not whether protection
is sanctioned rule of international
law or not. There seems to be no con-
flict about that. The problem is to
find out when that right, which We
all agree exists, ceases to be such and
becomes an abuse of a right.
Those who are opposed to the pres
ent departure in the Latin American
policy of the State Department tall
to see-or pretend to do so-that the
protection theoretically sanctioned by
law. with definite limitations, is one
thing, and another, an entirely differ
ent thing, the sort Of protection char
acteristic of past United States inter-
ventions in Latin America.

national defense and not business
proposition. They give it, they say,
fair appraisal as it stands today, and
then arbitrarily make allowances for
its navigational functions. which are
altogether distinct from its power-pro-
ducing functions.
When the whole system of dams is
completed, they will be able to produce
power at still lower rate. the T. v. A.
engineers say. But thus far the yard
stick hasn't meant much, one way or
the other.
Both the private utility and T. v. A.
figures are for power delivered at city
gates" The chief component Of the
cost of electricity to industry and the
home comes from that point on-its
distribution within a town or city.
Municipalities served by Wilson Dam
power. the T. v. A. engineers say. have
been able to reduce the cost from 40
private companies.
The T. w. A. men say that all proper
allowances are made for taxation, de-
probation, and every other factor OF
expense involved. There are all sorts
of complications and conflicting claims
1t probably will require corps of
statistically trained economists to settle
the issue. And even the statistically
trained economists are likely to reach
conflicting conclusions-depending on
personal bias and whose pay roll they
are on.
Not Major Item.
After ALL 1t might be asked, what
difference does it make? Especially
in towns, the monthly bill from the
electric company hardly can be con-
sidered one of the major items in the
cost of living. A dollar or two a month
is worth saving for the average fam
ily-but hardly worth making such
q fuss about.
So much for the T. v. A. purely as
an electrical yardstick. But there is
broader view to be taken of this
yardstick idea, its defenders say. 1t
has been, from the first, the view both
of President Roosevelt and DR.. Morgan.
The Tennessee Valley is the labora-
tory of the New Deal. There are ex-
periments in housing. town planning.
transportation, land control and land
utilization, crop control and crop ex-
pansion, recovery and rebuilding OF
natural resources, forestry, education,
labor and capital relationships, recrea-
ton, road building, local government,
and ways of life in general. In
stead of being isolated experiments,
they all fit into closely co-ordinated
pattern. Electricity happens to be the
thread that ties them all together. The
mining engineer and the embroidery
expert are working shoulder to shoul-
der with the architect and arche-
ologist in this unique laboratory-all
following diverse paths to common
end.
The T. v. A. is not primarily yard
stick" of kilowatt hour prices to house,
holder, farmer or manufacturer. It
might even turn out that the power
company, working without some Of the
governments advantages, can cut a
trifle under government prices without
ef7ecting vitality the success, or failure,
Of the experiment as whole.
The great network Of dams and
transmission lines Is being set up,
however, as quite different sort Of
"yardstick" measuring rod Of the
availability and utility Of electricity
in the great complex of American life.
From this point Of view, obviously,
the T. v. A. can do many things which
no private enterprise. however public.
