Interesting isn't it to hear the
same administration that three
years ago was shouting from all
the hill tops mad shibboleth, "too
much wheat, corn, cotton, milk and
pork, today filling the land with
loud talk for reservoirs, dams,
meadow water ways, developing
natural springs, digging wells,
conservation of soil and water, to
raise wheat, corn, cotton, milk and
pork, to replace the same products
that it paid the farmer not to
raise?
Three years ago the powers at
Washington calmly ruled to ignore
dust storms, soil erosion and black
blizzards. What matterod it, if a
few acres of land were destroyed,
when we were already producing
on our farms more than could be
distributed under our insane none
tary system, with it's subsidized
artificial scarcity to boost prices.
Nature today has stepped into the
breach and shown the powers at
Washington that they are only
scrubs in the subsidization of scar
city. The Washington argument
was this: Why conserve soil and
water to raise more food when
granaries and warehouses are al
ready bursting with over-supply
and under-consumption So the gov
eminent proceeded to indulge in a
wild orgy of spending upon every
thing, anything that was of little
or no permanent value.
In the meantime nature or per-
haps an outraged Deity got busy.
The United States Soil Conserva-
ton Committee estimates that al
ready 100000 acres Of producing
soil have been irretrievably ruined

additional acres so affected that
there is little chance TO their sur
vival. Top soil, which takes nature
uncounted centuries to produce, is
not easily replaced. The tendency
of a dust bowl is to- constantly en-
large itself. The scientists tell US
that the great desert Of Sahara, as
large as the map of the United
States was once flourishing mass
of vegetable life, and started IN 2
dust bowl not one tenth the size OF
the one already formed in the
United States.

LABOR NOTES
574 NOW 544,
WITH DELEGATES
Too. u

For the first time in fifteen
months delegates representing the
main body of the drivers of Min
neapolis are seated at the meet
ings of the Central Labor union
of the city. William Brown, presi-
dent, Farrell Dobbs, secretary
treasurer, and Carl Skoglund,
trustee, all of former Local STA
are seated along with Nick Wag-
ner, L. M. Murphy, and Jack
Smith of former Local 500 and the
Teamsters international. All the
delegates of the other unions
which met at the Gu hall last
Wednesday expressed their gratici-
cation at having the militant lea
ders of former Local STA with
them again. All of them felt that
from now on the labor movement
OF the city will become an even
more powerful force in the city and
state, with the internecine strife
between drivers unions at an end.
Local 544's new charter, deliver
ed by special messenger bv air
plane from Indianapolis, the
ieamsters international headquar-
ters, is now hanging in a promin-
ent place in the Drivers hall.
Members vow to make the new
number just as famous for milit-
ance as that of STA. They also
promise that the Minneapolis labor
movement is now going to town,
and their advice is, watch the Min
neaplis and state labor movement
grow.

JAPAN SPENDS HUGE
SUMS FOR WAR
TOKYO, Japan.-Japan will
spend over three billion yen ($882,-
OO0,O00) in the first six years of
the twelve-year armament pro-
gram if the army proposals sub
mitted to the Cabinet are approx
ed. Army officials stressed the
necessity for charging national
revenue in order to meet this bud
get. The navy's proposals are to
be submitted later.
The rumor that the United
States is to loan China $3O,O0O,-
GOO for the purchase of munitions
is construed as a trial balloon sent
up by General Chang Kai-shek,
Chinese leader, in order to deter
mine Japan's reaction to his re-
cent consolidation of South Chin
csc provinces with the Central
Government. Chiang's success is
regarded as a handicap to Jap
anese plans in North China.

You see, your aunt misled you

mother, had no clews to work
with, but tracking your story was
simpler. After while when we
were able to put the two stories
together, the jig-saw puzzle began
to show pattern
