Bruce Cation in Washington
Disseets the News

WASHINGTON- After six years
Of strenuous and expensive effort
tho New Deal program to help the
farmer is back within shouting dis
tance of its starting point.
The farm belt is sore again, and
its soreness is reflected in Con-
grcSS. 1t is quite possible that this
Congress will 60 ahead and write
a brand new type of farm bill, toss
ing production control out of the
window, having the government
mderWrite the farmers cost OF
production. providing for the dump
ing of export surpluSes and greatly
broadening the field in which the
present agricultural act operates.
An influential bloc of farm belt
senators and representatives has
lined up behind such a bill. A
similar bill failed to pass the Sen
ate last year by Just six votes; this
year. the bills hackers may find
those six votes and more.
A good man to discuss the whole
situation with is Senator Arthur
Capper. Senator Capper, a Kan
SaS Republican, admits freely that
President Roosevelt and Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace arc per-
fectly sincere in their desire to
help the farmer. He says this ad-
miniStration is more friendly 10
the farmer than any in many years.
But he also feels that the New
Deal farm program has failed and
that it is time TO find a better one.
Just before he came to Wash
ington this winter, Senator Cap
per held a conference in Topeka
with 900 Kansas farmers. He also
had letters from 1000 more. He
believes he has a pretty fair idea
of what the farmer needs.
First. he feels that RECOMMENDATION
and restriction Of production must
stop If there is to be any control,
he says. let the farmers impose it
on themselves rather than submit
to something devised at WASH
ington
Next, he believes the farmer
must be assured of the cost OF
production of his crop. plus a fair
profit, as far as crops grown for
domestic consumption arc con-
cerned. Surpluses, he feels, should
be exported for whatever they
will bring, either with or without
government aid. He would shape
tariff and foreign trade policies to
DreSprVe tho American marriott IN
toto for the American farmer.
He would keep the present soil
conservation program, and would
continue TO finance agriculture
through the Farm Credit Admin
istration-but he thinks 3 per cent
interest is plenty for farm loans.
All of which comes reasonably
close to expressing the provisions
of the Frazier -Lemke bill intro

Santa Rosa Republican,
Quite an argument has been go
ing on in San Francisco regarding
the desirability of having Alcatraz
prison out in the bay, almost in the
heart of the metropolitan district.
The argument started when off
cialS admitted that the federal
prison was not eScape-proof. At a
coroner'S inquest, on the street,
in the newspapers and over the
radio people have emphatically
expressed their opinions about the
possibility of moving the institu-
ton.
Nevada says officially that it
would welcome the prison if the
government should place it in the
desert near Carson City.
The argument seems TO cover
all points excepting the one which
is the deciding factor in the matter
-Alcatraz belongs TO the United
States government and the govern
ment likes Alcatraz where it is.
1t Is always a SenSeleSs waste
of time and temper to argue about
any situation which can not be
changed.
A man in Missouri a few years
ago killed his wife in a quarrel
which started over the apparent
size of the moon. The wife said to
her it looked about as large as
a waShtub. The husband said it
looked no larger than a gooseberry.
The moon has not changed in size,
even though the murder was com
mitted. Alcatraz will stay out in
San Francisco bay no matter how
it looks from different viewpoints.

Friendship in Justice
CMiddleborough oEngl Gazette)

There must be an end of all the
bitterness and abuse which has
eXacerbated the relationships be-
tween the democracieS and the
Fascist states. There must be great
er tolerance and an attempt to
reach an understanding Not, oil
course, in the spirit OF craven sur
render. but as men who seek only
Justice and equity.
Just as hate breeds hate, 50, too,
does friendliness flower into friend
ship. If we are prepared to play
our part, then we may hope for
a response which will rid the ma
tions of the world of the burden
of excessive armaments and liber-
ate their productive resources for
advancement of the welfare OF the
human race.

duced recently by tho newly
farm bloc.
Senator Capper admits with a
wry smile that farmers themselves
are far from united in their views.
Those farmers I talked with at
Topeka certainly weren't in agree
ment. Most of them, l think, do
want the AAA act of 1898 repealed.
But one Group-a small but noisy
one-wants the government to stop
trying to do anything at all for the
farmer A larger group wants
some control of surpluses to keep
prices from going too far down.
Still others bitterly oppose produc-
ton and marketing control. but do
approve of the soil conservation
program"

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Secrecy in AirpIane Sales

The United States wants no
agreements, understandings, or OBJ
legation, spoken or mspoken, writ
ten or unwritten, that will deny
to it free choice if there is an
other world war.
This is not TO argue that we
should refuse to sell airplanes to
France. We are already selling war
supplies to Japan to help it bomb
the independence out of the Chi
nese. We are selling them to South
American countries whose current
governments are less than COM
pletely democratic. In fact. we are
selling them to all comers except
to the legal Spanish government.
Probably it is all right to sell
planes to France. But We have a
right TO know to precisely what
policies We are being committed.
Nothing less than that will sustain
popular confidence in those policies.

The reports coming from Wash

adherents of the policy of aloofness
have had every reason for grave
concern. If those reports have been
faulty, there is a simple remedy
which Mr.. Roosevelt demonstrated

Minister'S Book
Just on Press.
A copy Of the Minister'S recent
volume, "Pilion and Makrinitsa," q
history Of two towns of the "A which
form that portion Of Greece which
is Thessaly, has place on the Min
tster's desk In his study. The book,
OH the press only two weeks ago, is
In Greek and illustrated with pic
lures taken in Pilion, the Ministers
birthplace, and Makrinitsa. Peas
ants Of that section are pictured
in colors-but for those who do not
know Greek the book is mystery.
The Minister thinks it would be
very nice to have the book trans
lated, but also feels that the labor
which the book represents has been
enough for him, and English trans
lation must be done by another. In
his research for the book the Min
lister learned considerable about his
own family. His great-grandfather
was the builder Of one Of the famous
temples in Pilion, and one Of his
treasures is q beautifully wrought
silver dish signed and dated by his
great-grandfather. A picture and
history Of the dish is included in
his book.
Even in his study the Minister has
treasures which he has gathered
through the years. One Of the small
bowls, about 2 inches deep and not
more than 3 inches in circumfer-
ence at the top, was excavated by
the late Richard Seager, and dates
back to 5000 BIC. The late Mr..
Seager has detailed description of
the bowl and picture reproduced
IN his book on his work in Greek
excavations.
Each of the treasures is a per-
sonal friend of the Minister, who
fondles and caresses them as he
tells their dates and history. Prov
ing that the life of q diplomat is
filled with a variety of interests be-
yond the limits of diplomacy and
the companionship of statesmen.
