LOOKING THE WRONG WAY
TO MIGRATORY SETTLEMENT

Eric H. Thomson, regional sociologist
for the Resettlement Administration,
speaking at San Jose the other day, plead
ed for security for migratory agricul-
tural workers. He painted an appalling
picture of conditions faced by migratory
workers, but offered no particular solu-
ton. Perhaps he was wise. The solu-
tion offered by most social service work
ers would defeat its own ends.
Most of them have blamed farmers
for not employing more migratory work
ers, not paying them more, or not fur
nishing them with better living condi-
tions.
The plain truth is that the farmer
cannot afford to do So He must make
a living wage himself-and too often he
is dangerously near not doing so.
If there is a solution short Of perpetu-
al relief rolls, it will be found in an
other direction.

1t would be hard to heave a rock
at any public gathering these days
without hitting some speaker who is
telling his hearers just what Amer
ica must do to keep out of war.
The speakers don't seem to agree
very well, TO be sure. One will de-
clare that only program of super
preparedness can save us; another,
that complete economic Self-Suffi-
cheney is the only answer; third,
that trade barriers must come down,
a fourth, that the munitions makers
and International bankers must be
curbed.
But they all agree on one thing
that we must stay out of war some
how And anyone who listens very
long, and sees how popular this
stay -of-War theme is nowadays
must believe that this countrys feet
are set in the path of peace as nsv-
er before.
We have been raising all kinds of
defenses to the danger of war, Of
late. We have neutrality laws of high
and low degree; We have a great
fleet and strong air force; we have
a law to keep us from lending mo-
ney to our overseas debtors. We
have, in fact, guarded against every
danger but one, and it happens to
be the only one worth talking about
We have done nothing-for there
is nothing much we can do-about
the chance that We ourselves, as in
diVidual human beings, may get so
that We actually want to go to war
If you will go back and look at
what happened between 1914 and
1917, you can see how that works.
When the World War began in
1914. not one American in a thou
sand dreamed that it could ever be
any direct concern of ours. Europe
was a long way off, and it was hard
to see what the quarrel was all
about. Our predominant emotion
was feeling of thankfulness that
it did not and could not involve u

INSURANCE AGAINST
POVERTY IN RESETTLEUENT

Some time ago, in an editorial en-
titled "A Double Barreled Solution to
Resettlement Problems" this column
discussed the plan of Mr.. J. R. Mason
of San Francisco for acquisition by the
federal Resettlement Administration of
tax delinquent lands for resettlement
purposes. Since the editorial was writ
ten, the plan in modified form has been
put into effect in the Truckee- Carson
Irrigation District of Nevada.
There the Resettlement Administration
is starting to buy tax forfeited lands
from the district and to aid selected
home-seekers to settle on the land. As
pointed out before, the plan should serve
two purposes by returning the lands to
tax rolls and furnishing the settlers
with proven land in an already develop
ed community.
Now Mr.. Clarence A. Lyman. who will
be remembered in Imperial Valley for
his talk before the combined chambers
of commerce last Fall on Getting Corn
Belt Farmers for Imperial Valley"
writes from Los Angeles with another
suggestion. 1t is one which will meet
with considerable approval from many
who resent the increasing inroads of
governmental administration into every
walk of life
Mr.. Lyman apparently agrees with
Mr. Mason's plan, as far as it goes
and then carries it farther. C" | am
convinced" Mr. Lyman says, that no
scheme in which the government or a
government agency is creditor and
the settler is a debtor will work out
satisfactorily. | need only point out
the experiences of the reclamation serv-
ice and the Home Owners Loan Corpor-
alton to show that debtors who would
pay their installments promptly and
cheerfully to a private creditor will
falter, postpone, evade and appeal to
politicians when it comes to paying a
government agency"
What Mr.. Lyman suggests is a pro-
gram for farm resettlement similar to
that worked out by the National Hous-
ing Administration. Suitable land would
be selected and approved by the Resettle-
ment Administration, valuation placed
upon them, and private capital would
finance resettlement just as it finances
home building under the National Hous-
ing Act. A small down payment would
be required, with other installments
over lengthy period with taxes, insur-
ance and such details budgeted in, and
with a further one per cent payment
for a mutual insurance fund, just as in
MIA.
Since resettlement is becoming an
acute national problem, and one of par
ticular interest to Imperial Valley in
view of its wide expanse of suitable
lands, the suggestions embodied here
are worthy of considerable study by
anyone interested in the future of agri-
culture.
