RESERVES FOR DEFENSE
(Christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science MonitOr)
The recent action of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation in arranging for
American purchase of 100000 tons Of
rubber and $4,000 tons of tin to be kept
solely as a military reserve deserves COM
mendation as does also the action of the
world tin and rubber regulatory COM
mittees in expanding the permissible eX-
port quotas practically to capacity
The program should be given full speed
ahead. Of the $4,000 tons of rubber OBJ
tanned last year by barter for cotton,
only some 10000 tons had been deliver
ed at the beginning of June and less than
10000 tons by the end of last month. The
Governments purchases of tin under the
Strategic and Critical Minerals Act of
1889 have so far been insignificant,
partly through Congressional niggard
illness, partly through such requirements
as that the tin must come to the United
States in American ships.
The accumulation of a satisfactory
stockpile of these commodities and other
strategic minerals, should be hastened by
all possible means The United States
would need in military emergency
tungsten, chromite, manganese, and
numerous other less known materials
The program is an essential part of a
whole defense policy And for those who
regret the expense, it has the added merit
that all the money spent for such stra-
tegc stOckpiles IS subject to ultimate re-
capture. The warehousing costs will be
comparatively small and the government
is getting its supplies so far at prices
which are considerably better than might
have been expected for a program so be-
latedly undertaken.

the American farm program may
tie in with that policy pretty di-
rectly.
Grandiose propositions such as
dumping the farm surplus on the
Latins through same continent
wide variation of the stamp plan
nave been advanced. They're still
in the talk stage, but the talking
is being done by some important
people. Until it jells, no guess on
the future of the domestic farm
program is much good.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Mo-
body is trying quite as hard to IL
CURE out just what the election
meant as are officials of the De-
partment of Agriculture. -
On the face of the returns, New
Deal farm policy took wallop in
the eye. Henry Wallace's own state
Of Iowa went decisively Republi-
can. Throughout the midwest the
farm belt followed suit. States like
Illinois and Ohio were saved for
Roosevelt by the city vote.
Judged by any ordinary stand
ards, then, sharp revision of the
farm policy. specifically the AAA
policy of indirect control Of crop
reduction, would seem to be in.
order.
Oddly enough there is develop
ing a good deal of sentiment in
the Agriculture Department in ia
vor of making the AAA program
stiffer instead of milder.
Various explanations for the loss
of the farm vote are offered
One group in the department is
engaged in painStaking, precinct
by-precinct analysis of the farm
belt vote. The argument of this
group is that it was the small
town voter rather than the farm
er himself who swung the rural
areas to Willkie. The farmer, by
this argument, is still for the Wal
lace program.
Another group in the DEPART
ment ignores this argument and
admits the midwestern farmer has
come unsold on AAA. 1t argues
that the midWeSter farmers are
relatively the most prosperous IN
the country, and that they Just
can't be persuaded TO like meas
ures made necessary by farm pow
erty in other sections.
Both groups say the election
proved the farm program pOpu-
lar with some farmers-those in
New England, for instance. The
closeness of the vote in Maine Is
laid to the farmers liking for
AAA. 1t is pointed out that F.
D. RS majority in several New
England states sweiIed rather than
diminished when belated rural
returns were counted.
CONSIDER RETURN
TO DIRECT CONTROLS
Cutting across all lines OF ar
gument, there is a growing belief
in Washington that more stringent
crop controls are in order.
A return to the direct controls
of the first, Supreme-Court inval-
idated triple-A program is seri-
ously considered Thesis is that the
nation still has tremendous carry
overs in crops like wheat, corn and
cotton and that the export market
continues to shrink. Hence, it is
argued, only return TO sure-fire
means of making direct payments
TO the farmer in return for reduc-
ton of production can meet the
situation.
Whether such program will
actually get proposed 10 Congress
this winter is open to a good deal
of question. For one thing, it would
be certain to raise storm of op-
posision-severe enough, possibly,
to upset the good relations which
the White House ardently wishes
te have with Capitol Hill. For a.
mother. it would go directly against
those numerous New Dealers who
fell that the midwestern vote was
a plebicite against the general New
Deal farm program and that some
modification is imperative.
