OPPOSED TO CROP CONTROL

For the past two or three weeks we have been
listening to the radio program, 'The Farmer Takes
the Nike on which there is heard farmer senti-
ment and comment from over the country Vari-
GUS sections of the United States are heard on the
program, the South, the West, the Southwest the
North, etc. .r. aH>
Yesterday afternoon we heard number Of fruit
and vegetable farmers, truckers, gardeners, etc.,
from New York State talking. With almost unani-
nous agreement they were opposed to the govern
ment's crop control plan. AS one farm wife ex-
pressed it, "the farmers had been managing to get
along pretty well before the government stepped in
and tried to show them how to run their farms,
and she believed they could continue to get along.
None of them were starving YETI ~, avN.
We all know that this is the sentiment among
the cotton growers of the South Many have pub
liely said they would much rather run their farms
like they wanted to, even if they did not make
much. They would at least have the satisfaction
of being their own boss.
One New York farmer said that under the cror
control program, they had been led to believe thai
they would produce less but get higher prices tol
what they did raise, but that it had turned ou
that they were raising more and getting even less

WHITTIER HITLER?

Adolf Hitler is on the move That much is GER
tain. He has had his way in the Rhlneland, In the
Saar, in the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. He
hasn't finished. He is looking eastward, southeast
ward He covets the grain fields of the Soviet
Ukraine He wants raw materials in all the Balkan
countries and is moving to get them. 1t would
seem that his detectives would be conflicting with
Benito Mussolini's detectives for Fascist Italy.
Czechoslovakia, impotent to resist is "co-operat-
ing" with the Nazi regime 1t is STRIVING for
friendship" 1t is sharp transition from lmmi-
nent war to the bowling and seraping which are
being DONE Germany is taking hand IN the Hun
garian and Polish demands on what is left of
Czechosloyakia. Notwithstanding Hitler's express
sions to these peoples it is case of Germany first
Yugoslavia, Rumania and Bulgaria are feeling
the effects of German expansion. The Nazi regime
is playing with the Turk. Germany is swiftly in
creasing its influence over the entire Balkan pen
insula and is making ready to tap the resources of
wheat oil and other commodities The Nazi au-
thorty is pressing forward in the several countries
At the moment it looks as if the Reich will have
its way.
Because they spread information of what the
Nazi regime is striving to do, Hitler would like to
silence the British and the American newspapers.
Even more than the English the Americans know
what is going forward. They have been and are
being given truthful reports of changing conditions
in Central Europe. They are on notice with re-
spect to German designs.
The German press, absolutely controlled by the
Hitler government, is abusive of the French, the
English, the Americans What it says is virtually
said bv Adolf Hitler. In the Nazi viewpoint, that
is all right, but when English French or American
newspapers are critical of Germany there are
complaints. Never more than now are free peoples
in need of free press.-Charleston News and

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
AN INDEPENDENT CONGRESS

There is every prospect that what Herbert Hoo
yer chiefly appealed for at Hartford Monday night
will be provided by the November elections. The
coming congress will be more independent of the
r,ss;5ant Failure of the presidential purge in
The Democratic primary and Indications of Repub-
1ican gains in several states assure such result
II should be gratifying to every citizen who sees
+ho ;ronortance of redressng the balance in the
American system of government
Vet there is much more to be. done in the way
Of re-establishing congressional independence. And
II vould be we'll to recognize the forms which de-
ro,dance takes. Mr. Roosevelt's control rested on
tbraa things First was the emergency Recent SEES
s;ons have seen that influence fading. Second was
tho presidents personal popularity. 1t was good
rolites TO support his programs. According to re-
cent nolIs of public opinion this popularity is still
very great although there is much questioning of
presidential methods.
Tho third factor was control of federal funds,
narticularv the ALLEGATION of relief grants. Mem
har Of CONGRESS often rest their own popularity at
home upon the amounts of money they can get for
,a;, districts or states from the federal treasury.
Under the present set-up they can be rewarded or
nenal;zed bv the executive in the distribution of
speb funds and may be influenced accordingly.
That is the most deeply disturbing element in the
situation And it is one which threatens to be more
ne,manent than the others. 1t opens the way to
abuses whatever party is in power
~ The first remedy is to end executive ALLEGATION
of funds. A more fundamental reform is to end
the dependence of local communities on the federal
government AS long as that exists congressman
will be dependent on and chiefly representative of
pressure groups which seek federal grants. The
KEY to an independent congress is an independent
and seIf-feliant electorate-The Christian Science
Monitor.

Chandler Aiding
Barley Race lp
Quiet Campaign

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. FL
(UP) Kentucky is engaged in q
election campaign as quiet as
it's primary campaign was spec
tacular. The election of one SEN
ator and nine district congress
men on November s is looked up
on by political observers as an
anti-climaX.
Kentucky's real political fight
took place last summer when
Senator Alben w. Barley, cham,
pion of the New Deal, won re
nomination over Governor A. Is
"Happy" Chandler.
Demonstrating that political
scars heal quickly in the Blue
Grass state, Governor Chandler Is
aiding in the Democratic cam
paign to re-elect Senator Barkiey
by speaking and appearing at po'
litical rallies. :.
Senator Barkley's opponent Is
John p. Haswell ,Jr., Hardinsbure
and Louisville attorney, a quiet
56-year-eld Republican. -.
Haswell has dabbled in politics,
having served three terms in the
Kentucky house Of representa-,
tives. He also served as a circuit
judge by special appointment.
Kentucky Republicans look for
ward to one victory, at least, IN
the November election, Represen-
tative John NJ. Robson is heavily
favored by political observers tc
win reelection in the normally
Republican ninth district. His
opponent is Bert Rowland OF Cor
bin.

with that same conscientiousness
which impels us not to advise any
one to drink whiskey."
Note: A few Sundays ago. my
minister said that church folk
should boycott publications carry
ing whiskey advertisements; but
l wager he would not object to
this one. IS
Prohibition has never worked;
but education of the right kind
will work. Alluring advertise
ments of whiskey is the wrong
kind of education. Everyone
should be educated to the dangers
of whiskey. Persons who are ed
ucated NOT to use whiskey as
beverage are safer than those who
are forbidden to touch it, yet can
get it whenever they wish it. 1t
is the constructive education of
the individual which is going to
get him places in all respects =
legislation will not do it. 4.

point the churches in their cru
sades against the evils of whiskey
so often overlook: The worst
phases of the liquor evil are
brought about by politicians who
exploit whiskey to fill their
purses, strengthen their organiza-
tons, and swing elections-many
vote is bought with a swig of
whiskey.
The first step toward cleaning
up the whiskey scourge is to
clean up politics; we shall never
get the whiskey problem in hand
until we get the corrupt politi-
clans in hand. Fighting the liquor
evil without eliminating evil poll
tics is like swatting flies breeding

IF PEACE WAS SAVED, WHY DO
THEY RE-ARM?
(By BRUCE CATION

If the tOur-pOWer settlement Oh The
Czech problem was worth all it cost be-
cause it brought peace to Europe, 1t is
motally queer that the re-armament pro-
gram should be enjoying such thriving
health right now. s.s. .... s.
A full fortnight after Mr.. Chamberlain
dearly-bought solution" to the crisis had
gone into the records, a United Press sur
vey showed that all the powers involved
were polishing their guns just as feverlshly
as if the crisis were still ahead of them.
London announces that Britain will in
sist on parity with the strongest air force
that may be created in Europe. Sir John
Simon declares that preparedness is even
more essential to Britain now than it was
in 1914.
simultaneously, Berlin declares that
Germany has the worlds strongest air
force and aims to keep on having it, and
German spokesman point to the British
declaration as proof that Germany must
continue to re-arm at top speed.
At the same time France votes S62 ,OOO,-
900 for new weapons and plans to extend
the Maginot line all along the Swiss Dor
der. Belgium, meanwhile, announces a
plan to throw chain of heavy forts along
both the French and German frontiers.
And Russia goes ahead with an expensive
plan to arm and defend the Ukraine.
Now all of this does not sound precisely
like the Inauguration of an era of peace
and understanding Bombing planes, war
ships, tanks and new army corps cost
money, and in the ordinary course of
things a nation does not buy them unless
it figures it may have to use them. This
new wave of re-armament is the clearest
possible indication that the war-danger is
not past.
This hardly jibes with all the fine things
that were said after Chamberlain's last
talk with Hitler. Yet there is nothing par
ticularly surprising about it, after all. The
world was tremendously relieved when the
Czech crisis passed off without producing
an immediate war; in its relief it assumed
that the problem had been settled instead
of merely being postponed. Now it is be-
ginning to see that it made a mistake.
If the Czech settlement had been achiev-
ed by a process of honest, straightforward
negotiation, things might be different. But
it wasn't. Force gained the victory there
just as truly as if battle had actually been
joined. Hitler got what he set out to get
by threatening war. The settlement was a
triumph for militarism and a clear-cut de-
feat for the theory that national quarrels
should not be settled by force .5 So.
What is happening now is simply the
logical sequel. The way the Czech crisis
was Solved served notice on all Europe
that-for the immediate future at least
might makes right. The inevitable result is
that the continents progress toward ca
tastrophic war has been accelerated.
