Nobody denies that agriculture needs
help. But Secretary Wallace's method
of affording it?
The consumers interest in this pros
pective legislation should be whetted
because he will have to foot the bill
in the form of an increased cost of
the food he eats and the clothes he
wears.
Secretary Wallace suggests that
congress amend the farm act in only

processing tax of 80 cents per bushel
on wheat, and an amount on cotton

wheat tax the secretary says:

of FIDAC has the power to do
such a thing.
The word FIDAC has been taken
from the French language and
means, translated, Federation Al
lance of Former Combatants.
Think what that phrase means.
All the nations of the World War
have formed an Alliance among
themselves to further the ever
growing peace movement.
Not only in the United States
is there a Tomb of an Unknown
Soldier, not only in the United
States is there the spirit of F1DAC.
Every country that fought in the
World War pays tribute to their
own unknown dead.
Do you question the connection
between the spirit of FIDAC and
the Tomb of the Unknown Sold
Ter? Millions of men died un-
known to save us. Isn't it fitting
that we, in very small return, in
turn pay some tribute to them for
their valor and courage? Maybe
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1938-03-18

there are lots of ways in which to
do this, but the best and most
patriotic way is to show the world
that we, personally, have the
spirit of FIDAC.
Think of the number of mou
who went away under flying COL
ors and to the strain of martial
song. Think again of how many
came back the same and how
many came back another way.
Would you have done it if you
were in their place? Would you
have given our life so that the
world might be safe for the on
ward movement of Democracy?
The tomb of the Unknown Sol
der represents the millions Of
soldiers who died on the field of
battle. 1t also is a symbol of peace
in that FIDAC will work to pro-
mote World Friendship.
