INTERNATIONAL:
Neutrality

Every congressman and senator
wants to keep the u. S. out of war.
But of ideas on how this shall be
done, there are almost as many as
there are lawmakers. Late in 1885
congress banned shipment of arma-
ments to warning countries in the
first neutrality act. Early the next
year it added provision banning
loans to belligerents. In 1887 came
third provision, banning export of
goods to embattled nations except on
cash-and-carry basis. The latter
provision expired two months ago.
This year, with war lowering over
Europe and Asia at the probable
expense of Friends Great Britain
and France, President Roosevelt
wanted new neutrality legislation.
His chief aim: Repeal of the arms
embargo because it encourages self
sufficing aggressor nations like Ger
many, Italy and Japan. To replace it
he wanted the cash-and-carry pro-
vision restored, since Britain and
France would nominally control the
sea during wartime and could pay
for their purchases. Isolationists
meanwhile called his attention to
the fact that Japan is also a big
maritime power.
Upshot was senate foreign rela-
tions committee decision to table
neutrality for this session.
While British economists were pri-
vately calling wary U. S. isolation
lists "cowardly," there was good
reason to think all neutrality legis-
lation may be wiped from the books
and return made to old interna-
tional law. Thus the President would
be better off, isolationists would be
partly satisfied alphabetically i'm
portant-the intra-party Democratic
squabble would cease.

Just a Word of Praise
For AAA Administrators

That I may not be accused of be-
ing common scold. let me give
the AAA administrators a word of
praise just here. The soil building
and soil conservation phases of the
program likely are going to be valu-
able although I fail to understand
why anybody thinks it is necessary
to pay farmer to keep his own
land in good shape. But, skipping
my own thoughts on that, there is
justification for governmental inter-
est in helping to restore soil on a
national scale because our nation is
going on for a number of years -
we hope.
Then, too, there is argument IA
vorable to policy of government
encouragement in the planting of
trees, program of reforestation.
There is, of course, that famous
parity business. There is a fund
of $225, 900, 900 which bunch of vote
getting congressman put into law.
From it, the AAA officials can pay
farmers producing wheat, cotton,
corn, tobacco and rice certain sums
if the price of these commodities
is less than cts per cent of parity"
We have had that one before and
after many trials there are still
many hundreds of versions of SPAR
ity." 1t has put the money out.
There is no doubt about that. The
AAA men made sure that all of it
went out, but some of the methods
of calculations, of appraisals, of dis
examinations among farmers, of dos
and don't's and just plain bureau
cratic RECOMMENDATION make fellow
dizzy. cannot help wondering what
those who live hundred years from
now will say when they read the
current AAA records. They may
find some new words that will prop
erly describe the mess.

this heavily padlocked gate to see

NolD Comes the Pay-Of
On the 1910 Farm Program

Next comes Commercial vegeta-

this year, of Commercial vegeta-
BILE countless" the designation, of
course, to be done by AAA officials.
Commercial vegetable farmers, aft
er they sign up and do as they are
told, will get payments, too, and I
hope the arrangement will make the
green onions that my wife buys from
the commercial vegetable man who
calls at our door somewhat less
spongy.
And now, we give you the pay
of on the 1910 program.
Next year, any farmer who grows
a vegetable garden will get $2-two
whole dollars that are still highly
regarded by me-if he Cooper
ates" and does as he is told by the
AAA master farmers. If he fails to
grow that vegetable garden, he will
be docked 81. The government will
get it, too. Uncle Sans boys are
good at that. To make sure about
getting that 81 fine, the AAA will
deduct it from whatever other pay
ment that the farmer has earned.

AIDE OF British concessions struck
awfully close to home when the
crown colony of Hongkong found it
self threatened by food shortages as
Nipponese vessels blocked ports at
Changchow, Tungshan and Chaoan.
All able-bodied Britons in Hongkong
were subsequently conscripted.
In such tense atmosphere Brit
ish Ambassador Sir Robert Leslie
Craigie opened his long-touted con-
versations with Foreign Minister
Hachiro Arita, knowing full well no
settlement would be reached. Japs
demand that Britain cease support

which would constitute complete
surrender of all her Asiatic inter-
ests. Britain, on the other hand, in
sists that discussions shall deal only
with the original conflict over Jap
blockade of the British concessions
at Tientsin.
When the first days preliminary
confab ended in hopeless deadlock,
key Jap officials on the Chinese front
issued more threatening statements
and precipitated a few more Incl
dents to help make up the harried
British mind. First sign of what
may become wholesale British with

sionaries were shipped from Kali

program was evolved at three-day
conference of approximately 100
AAA farmer-committeemen and 9TH
ers interested" acting for all of the
millions of farmers. 1t explained
that the whole farm program is to
be broadened, but I will quote the
opening paragraph, which is, of
course, official:
Increased emphasis on soil con-
servation, increased opportunities
for participation by small farmers
and greater responsibility of admin
istration by the farmer committees
are included"
I have watched the AAA officials
operate for five or six years. They
are still struggling for that more
abundant life and, therefore, I have
observed the changes with some
curiosity. Also, there has been a
certain amount of humor in what
they have done-not humorous for
the farmers but for an onlooker
whose life savings and hopes were
not directly at stake. There never
has been a dull moment. Some
times, the antics have resembled
the movements of whirling der
wishes of the desert in their most
fervent moments of prayer; other
times have produced attitudes on
the part of the officials and their
underlings that strangely resembled
a mouse-colored and very stubborn
mule that my father once owned,
and then, again, there would be
forthcoming schemes so fantastic
that only a person wearing the de-
gree of doctor of philosophy could
have read the words without turn
ing to Mr.. Webster's unabridged edi-
ton of the dictionary. They have
gone from the doctrine of scarcity
to the doctrine of some other ex-
IRENE and most things in between,
always requiring, however, that the
farmer must sign up contract with
a lot of dos and don't's.
