to be enough profit in war to
warrant the gamble. And
that is the way a lot of citi-
Nzens have long felt about it.
Take the profits out Of war
and the chance of starting
one will be greatly lessened.
When war begins to flatten
pocketbooks, there will be a
more general demand for
peace. The insurance men
have hit the old God of War
an awful rap, and humanity
owes them a debt of graft
tude for doing so.

Special Session of Congress

When, in response to the call of
President Roosevelt, Senators and
Representatives troop back Novem-
Der Is to the halls of Congress, their
coming viii mark the twenty-fourth
calling together Of the upper and
lower houses for purposes of an extra
session to meet national emergency.
Two stories appearing in the feature
section of The Star next Sunday out

gress between now and Christmas and

sions Of the country's Legislative
bodies.

The compulsory cotton control
law was less stringent but it had
penalties attached
Cotton so that any cotton
Control farmer who failed
to comply with the
regulations had to pay a tax on
cotton produced over and above his
allotment. This tax was so high
so per cent of the value-that it
amounted to a fine as punishment.
The other kind of cotton control law,
the voluntary plan, had no penalty
provisions. This control was ex-
ercised by issue of subsidies or pay
ments to farmers for raising various
crops provided they limited the
amount to the dictation of the AAA.
Thus, under the voluntary control,
the farmer could take the govern
ment's money and limit his crop to
what the AAA said was his quota
and thus be paid for compliance.
Or, he could refuse the govern
ment's subsidy and raise what he
pleased. o
Now, in addition to these PROPOSE
tons, Secretary Wallace of the De-
partment of Agriculture, is promot-
ing what he calls his lever nor
NAL granary" plan. This is to serve
as supplemental to the crop control
on the production side. The secre-
tary has an idea that the federal gov
eminent can take the surplus of
good years off of the hands of farm
ers and hold them through the lean
years when poor crops have failed
to produce the amount required for
American home consumption.
The secretary's lever normal
granary" plan is a red hot poker
and there will be plenty of sparks
flying off Of the handle as well as
the hot end when this thing is de-
bated in congress. Opponents of the
secretary's scheme contend that this
program Is straight out regimenta-
ton and that It goes as far In this
effect as anything done by either
the Fascist Mussolini or the Com
munist Stain. It takes no stretch
Of the imagination. therefore, to see
what il just ahead in the matter Of
q controversy for crop legislation
for the reason that each Of the pro-
grams that has been thus far adj
vanced contains political dynamite.
Chairman Jones Of the house agri-
cultural committee began work on
drafts Of bills for

convened. Several
weeks prior to the opening day Of
tho special session, Mr.. Jones ap-
y,ointed six subcommittee each
was charged with drafting legis-
lation applicable to a specific COM
modify. In doing this, Mr.. Jones
threw the door wide open. He in
cluded six farm crops to share the
alleged benefits Of crop control leg
islation, including the lever nor
NAL granary" surplus control pro-
gram. The subcommittee were d.
rected to work out legislation COW
ering cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco,
rice and dairy products. .Inclusion
of rice and dairy products came as
a surprise. Heretofore, there had
been little talk about including rice
and none about dairy products. The
information that filters into WASH
ington is that majority Of the dairy
people have no particular hankering
for government dictation in their
business. Chairman Smith of the
senate agricultural committee like
wise has been busy. Throughout the
summer he has been attempting to

of the country. From all indica-
tons, Chairman Smith, who comes
from South Carolina and is farm
er in his own right, is not enthusiast
tic about too much government die
tation in the field of agriculture.
Over on the house side Of the Capt.
toll, Secretary Wallace has many fol-
lowers. Obviously, he will coop
crate with them very closely. In
deed, some of the house members
who do not like Mr.. Wallace or his

referring to the Wallace supporters

ed the feelings are.
To add to the completely Of the
job facing congress, President
Roosevelt has said definitely that
II there are subsidies paid 10 farm
ers in connection with crop control
legislation, that legislation must
carry additional taxes to take care

surely represents straightforward
policy by the Chief Executive in this
regard. He has told the country
now that he is willing to support
agricultural subsidies through con-
troll Of the crops If the whole country
which has to pay the bill is willing
to bear the extra taxes that are re-
quired.

Armistice Day-l937
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
Sentinels of the Republic

you are In some special sense the
soldiers Of freedom"
That was the message delivered by
the people Of America, through their
Chief Executive, to the youths who
made up our National Army two
decades ago.
That Is sti1 the thought e. America
when ON Armistice Day 1t accords to
the Unknown Soldier at Arlington hon.
Ors higher than are paid to any famous
Captain.
On that anniversary Of peace. Amer.
leans recall the ideals 10 which We
once subscribed so Fundamentally.
On that anniversary, we recall the
sacrifices made In the cause of human
freedom; In the conviction that the
viii Of the people must supersede the
VIII Of kings and despots.
In America we not only remembeT
these things, but continue to strive
valiantly for the ideals Of democracy.
In Europe many nations are forget
ting notwithstanding rs result not
only the peace Of the world, but the
well-being and preservation Of their
own people.
Despite the picture Of turmoil and
cruelty which such nations present,
there are men who would have America
accept some Of their theories. There
are men who would have us weaken
our democracy in spiritless imitation Of
methods which have brought want and
terror to millions abroad.
But America knows that the only
real security lies In the freedom Of
spirit and Of body which our democracy
assures.
And Armistice Day reminds us Of
that spirit Of the American citizen
sometimes the soldier, but always the
guardian. Of freedom.
