on the part of the department
The new plan - which would
channel surplus commodity ex-
penditures TO the farmer by way
Of the corner grocery store, and
would drop both direct-purchsse
and price-fixing schemes - is
what is left of the famous two
price system which Secretary
Henry Wallace brought up for
discussion last fall.
No final plans have been set
tied upon yet. but within a week
or so it is expected that a pro-
gram will be agreed upon. The
idea that is receiving the most
thought now. and that is being
discussed with key business
groups, would work as follows.
GROCERY SHOPPING
WITH TICKETS
Tickets or certificat ties of one
kind or good, proba bly,.
for about half what relief fam
lily spends for food during an
ordinary month-would be is
sued. Such tickets could be
spent" at any grocery store. at
face value. for such foodstuffs
as the department of agriculture
designates as surplus commod-
tiles
These commodities would vary
from month to month, possibly
even from week to week. The
list would include such things as
fruits, vegetables, dairy prod
ucts-possibly poultry products
and certain kinds of meats. The
grocer could turn the tickets in
at some government office-pos-
sibly at the postoffice-and get
cash for them.
Tickets would supplement the
allowances ordinarily received by
relief families. A family getting
$50 a month in relief money, for
instance, would still get the $50
a month. Assuming that it had
been spending SIC a month for
food, it would simply get an ex-
ira So worth of these tickets.
And the idea behind all of this
is the idea that was in Secretary
Wallace's mind last fall when he
started talking about his two
price system. The idea: That
the lowest-income groups in
America are unable to buy the
foods that would give them
balanced diet, and that actual or
potential SURPRISES of those
foods nevertheless exist on the
American market.
TWO BIRDS,
ONE STONE
In some cases. these foods
ripen simply to rot. Prices in
many instances drop 80 low that
the farmer finds it isn't worth
his while to pick and ship his
produce. In other cases. he re-
Trains from growing foodstuffs
which millions of Americans
need, but can't buy.
Secretary Wallace suggested
that, if the buying power of the
relief group could .be built up,
two birds would be killed with
one stone, The needy would get
the sort of food they ought to
have, and the farmers market
would be vastly expanded.
So the two-price system got
talked about-and got squelched
very quickly, when the secretary
noted its unfavorable reception.
Ever since then. however, a
department committee has been
studying the problem. 1t has
conferred, step by step. with
business organizations. More
conferences are still to come

that country. The prospects for
the next year are, therefore, much
better than in the past year. This
is the comfort given to the Jews
in Germany at the beginning of
new year under the Hitler re-
gime. And these are also the
hopes of those who have escaped
from the Nazi hell, but are still
wandering as undesirable refugees
over all parts of Europe and on
the high seas between Constanza
and Haifa, between Trieste and
Shanghai and between Hamburg
and the distant shores of the
South American countries.

New Prospects For Refugees In 500

countries to share in the financ-
ing of colonization and a million
dollars raised by the new founda-
ton, new possibilities of work are
opening up for the Evian Commit
tee.
The past year has also made
clear to the world the falsehood
of the assertion that refugees.
when admitted, are depriving ma
tives of work. In the House of
Commons it was announced that
eleven thousand German immi-
grants provided work for fifty
thousand English unemployed.
Similar declarations have been
made in Holland, Belgium and
other countries, not to speak of
the South American countries
where new industries are being
established by refugees. Mr.. Win
ant, director of the International
Labor Office at Geneva, in his
annual report, even felt obliged to
point out that many countries
were making a mistake in admit
ting agricultural workers only and
not also persons engaged in COM
mercial and industrial occupations.
Speaking as an expert, Mr.. Win
ant declared that immigrant in
dustrial workers and commercial
employees were instrumental in
developing trade and industry in
the countries of immigration.
With nearly 10000 refugees in
different European countries and
with 100000 Jews still waiting to
be taken out of the Third Reich,
we are now entering the new Jew
ish year. Optimists believe that
the new year will bring more or
der into the refugee work, that
the wandering ships and the no.
man's-lands will be liquidated just
as the Zbonszyn camp is being
liquidated now; that organized
emigration from the Third Reich
will begin, and that mass coloni-
zation will at last be started in
territories which have already
been investigated.
Great hopes are being centered
in particular upon Roosevelt's
Washington conference and upon
Britain's proposal that interested
countries should participate fl
nancially in the solution of the
refugee problem, as well as the
admission of $4,000 refugees to
Palestine under the new British
plan for Jewish immigration into

Double Effect
In nMcBrydeAs
Wage Lawyer
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. 4.-Appointment Of
D. Lacy McBryde, Cumberland coun-
ty legislator, as regional attorney for
the Wage-Hour Administration has
a two-fold implication, in addition
to its obvious meaning that a North
Carolinian has secured a good Job
for himself.
The double effect OF the AIcRryde
appointment is:
CD It's a clear indication that a.
Dor (wit.l a capital "L" and mean
ing particularly the North Carolina
Federation of Labor) is not without
political influence, and

congressional possibilities for 1910 4
young man who might conceivanly
prove somewhat troublesome to in
cumbent Bayard Clark in the seventh
district
Under the first head the appoint
ment is proof positive Of the boast
made by State Federation President
c. A. Fink that this organization has
had the pleasure" or words to that
effect, of stopping dead any posi-
bility, that the post might go to e.
c. Brooks, lawyer who presented the
anti-wage and hour case so effective
ly before the 1889 General Assem-
ly that the Labor forces met crush
ing defeat
The Fink statement was unusual
for its frankness, as it is seldom that
any group comes out openly and
boasts of its influence in defeating
any enemy's efforts to land par
ticular political post
The McBryde appointment, more :
over, runs over to the affirmative
side; it shows that the federation
can accomplish something positive
as well as negative. It didn't want
Brooks and stopped him; it did wal:
McBryde and got him.
If Labor was to be given the post
there can be no possible criticism
of the man picked. Through two
terms in the Tar Heel House he has

tently than any other MISUNDERSTOOD
