WALLACE DEFENDS
TENANCYPROCRAM
Declares Proposal Would
Not Injure Large
Land Owners.
ny the Associated Press.

Secretary Wallace brought to a
congressional committee today his
opinion that the far-reaching ad-
ministration proposals to aid 2,s65,0o0
tenant farmers would not injure large
land owners.
IT don't subscribe to the doctrine
that if you help the people at the bot
tom, you hurt the people at the top"
Wallace told reporters. I'm the long
run you help everybody"
He was called before the House
Agriculture Committee shortly before
Congress received from President
Roosevelt a message recommending a
crop insurance system.
A third segment of his farm pro-
gram, Wallace disclosed, will go to
Congress in the next week or two. 1t
will be a presidential message sug-
gesting a processing tax on sugar. A
month ago the Secretary proposed
levy of one-haf or one cent pound.

probably will result in recommended
tion to provide funds with which ten
ants can purchase farms on an ex-
tended payment plan.
Wallace pointed out that the Farm
Tenancy Committee, in favoring the
family-size farm, had not suggested
confscation of large land holdings.
He said Government tenancy pro-
gram might give some large land
owners a chance to sell of some of
their holdings" but he added that
some who hoped to profit by the pro-
gram may be disappointed.
Spokesman for six large farm Or
ganizations voiced general approval Of
the farm tenancy recommendations.
1T is fine to help unfortunate
farmers in the lower grades" said
Edward A. O'Neal, president Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
He added the Government should aim
to maintain fair ncome for farmers
''or no farmer can hope to stay on
his farm and pay out"
Grange Favors Aid.
Master Louis J. Taber said the
National Grange favors Government
efforts to aid "family-size owner-oper-
ated" farms. Too much past legis-
lation had benefited corporation
farming, chain farming and other
large-scale units" he said
NJ. w. Thatcher, legislative repre-
sentative for the National Farmers
Union, said that as member of the
Tenancy Committee he agreed with
the report. His organization has made
no official expression.
Robin Hood, representative of the
National Council of Co-operatives, said
ANY solution of farm tenancy that
does not disrupt the agricultural struc-
ture will be for real social welfare"
w. L. Blackstone, organizer for the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union,
agreed with the broad principles of
the report, but said the program
should be administered by a separate
Federal agency. He declared the De-
partment of Agriculture was under
domination of rich and large land
owners"
John Bosch, president of the Ma
tional Farmers Holiday Association,
called the program "a step in the
right direction"

Apparently such considerations are

A BISHOPS STORY

Illustrating how the treatment Of
strangers in foreign land may influence
their lives, Bishop Bartlett of the Epis-
copaI church tells of two young Chinese
students who came to America, and what
happened to them.
One, Chinese girl who had been
converted to Christianity in her native
land, came to the United States to con-
tinue her studies. Unfortunately, she EN-
tered school in which prejudice was
shown because of her race. She denounced
Christianity and returned to China.
The other, Chinese boy. was be-
friended by an American family in
Charleston, became Christian, returned
to China and married Christian Chinese
girl. Four of their children were educated
in the United States, and their family be-
came one of the most influential in China.
One daughter married Sun Vat Sen,
founder of the Chinese republic; another
married Chang Kai Shek, China's chief
leader today; third married Kung Hsiang
Hsi, recently finance minister of China !;
while a son, Soong To Vung, was also fl
fance minister and represented China in
several international conferences.
THE Christian influences which
have gone out from their family says
Bishop Bartlett. ARE incalculable, and go
back to friendliness shown toward a
Chinese boy in America"
