Der of the 300-odd families involved
in the march are still unemployed
If the FSA continues to support
people who won't work at prevail
ing wages, it is in effect support
ing a strike. The FSA autholities
may feel that farm labor wages in
tie southeastern Missouri cotton
belt are too low, but they say that
it is no part of their function to
fight for a higher scale.
The average farm laborer in this
area, say the FSA people, gets only
four months work in year. Dur
ing his idle time, he can't support
himself, and FSA cor somebody
has to take care of him. BY car
ing for him in that idle season,
then, F.SA is in effect substituting
the landlords and their loW-Wage
scale.
AS a matter of fact, it is not
oaly the hunger marchers who are
on FSA's hands. During the last
three months, FSA has been sup
porting approximately $500 fam
lies in those seven southeast Mis-
souri, counties, at monthly cost of
rather more than $4,000.
Just at present, there doesn't
seem TO be much it can do but go
ON supporting them. Its rehabili-
tation program doesn't work in that
area. because family-Sized tracts on
which pennileSs farm families might
be settled just aren't available.
Many disquieting rnnors have
come out of the southeastern Mis-
souri, area. Landlords are said to
have forbidden their tenants to hold
meetings.
Basieally, in the judgment Of FSA
officials. the southeast Missouri Sit
uation is simply factory problem,
with an agricultural proletariat
And because the agricultural prole-
tariat in America is growing, the
Missouri problem is taken as an
advance warning OF the kind of
farm problem that is likely to be-
come more and more common in
other parts of America in the fu-
ture.

Immigration
Strict or Easy
BY CHARLES p. STEWART

The theory that our present inn
migration restrictions are too strict
for our own good at last is begin
ming to be argued quite audibly in
Washington. A few of our law
makers and administrative officials
have hinted all along that they
thought we had left too narrow a
crack in the door through which so
many old worldings used to get in
to Join Uncle Sans citizenry. How
ever, these critics were pretty care
full not to speak over-loudly. The
restrictions were slapped on with a
view of protecting American labor
from the competition of more and
cheaper workers from abroad. Con-
seQuently anyone who suggested that
We were OVERRIDING matters ex-
posed himself to the charge that he
was advocating lower pay for our
country's toilers here at home-a
most undesirable position for a pol
itician to place himself in. Accord
ingly, on an average, regardless OF
his opinion, he kept middling still.
Nevertheless an occasional chirp
was heard.
For example, when our last era of
hard times was setting in. and it
was being reasoned that We already
lad too many producers in COM
pariSon with too few consumers, and
titus that we were wise in keeping
any additional producers out, had
an interview with Chairman Samuel
DickStein of the House Committee
or immigration and Naturalization
in the course of which L asked.
isn't it true that new producer is
a new consumer alSo?" And in a
burst of confidence, Chairman
Dickstein answered, Why! that S
what I say!" But he didn't amplify.
Depression Cause?
In the Agriculture Departments
bureau of farm economics is an eX-
ceptionally capable statistician Of
the name of O. E. Baker, who has
assured me that he believes our de-
preston due to the rapid decline in
our population growth-Were now
approaching the static. Economist
Baker doesn't specifically say that
immigration restrictions are respon-
sible for our population groWth's
decline or that they're responsible
for hard times. He does say that
population growth's decline has
been coincidental with harder times,
that our population can't grow as
once it did, when we were scooping
in million or SO of foreigners per
ycar-and that we haven't re-adapt-
ed our economy to the declining
ratio.
This is rather weak stuff.
But the other day DR.. Osmond x.
Fraenkel New York economist of
tip-top reputation, as a witness be-
fore House Judiciary sub-commit-
tee said that he considers the cur
rent "stoppage of immigration into
this country a grave economic mis-
take He quoted ex-Justice Louis
d. Brandeis of the Supreme Court
as agreeing with him.
True, DR.. F'raenkel isn't govern
mentally official, but he got his
views into an official record.
Ex-Justice Brandeis hasn't repu-
dated him, either.
That testimony is pungent
enough.

Bob Wagner was at the bottom
OF the social and economic ladder
without money, without pull, with
cut influential friends. l asked
him how he lifted himself out of
that slough OF poverty and obscur-
ity, and set his feet on the high
way that led to the United States
Senate.
Senator Wagner replied: There
was one event that changed my en-
tire life"
What do you suppose it was? He
studied public speaking at night
He worked his way through COL
lege and law school0
Yes" said Senator Wagner
learning to speak in public was
the turning point in my life He
worked for a week preparing a
speech which he thought pretty
good. He rehearsed it to himself
silently while riding on the street
car, he repeated it to himself while
eating. Standing before a mirror
he imagined he was addressing a
great audience.
Then he went to political head
quarters and told the leader he
wanted to speak in the coming cam
paign. The leader invited some
OF his cronies to come to listen to
Robert F. Wagner make his first
speech Amateurish, but it con-
tanned ideas. sincerity, enthusiasm
Next he made speeches on street
corners--from the tail end of a
truck He had found one of the
quickest possible ways to make him
self known. A few years later he
won a place for himself in the New
York State Assembly.
At last he was out of the fog OF
obscurity, on his way up. Did he
get the breaks? No, he prepared
for the breaks, and then went out
and made them for himself.
