Farm Bureau Head
Promises Fight if
Benefits Are S|ashed
Soboteurs Of Aid Program
Will Have to Face Their
Constituents, He Warns
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Edward A.
O'Neal, president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, promised
last night Ito take the fight to the
country" if the House economy bloc
should sabotage" farm recovery by
reductions in the Agriculture De-
partment's appropriation bill.
In statement, Mr.. O'Neal, who
was one of the leaders in formulat-
ing the farm program, condemned
the House Appropriations Commit
tee, which recommended a 81 per
cent cut in next years Agriculture
Department supply bill as compared
with funds supplied for the current
year.
1T appears" Mr.. O'Neal said,
that the committee is determined
to economize at the expense Of agri-
culture. Any reduction in farm in
come will be multiplied MANIFOLD
in reduced national income, more
unemployment, reduced Federal tax
returns and lowered national
morale"
n Per Cent Discount.
The statement said that Congress
in formulating farm legislation in
recent years, 'in effect promised
farmers parity prices, but never
made sufncient appropriations to
make parity a reality"
Congress should increase the
farm appropriation to . figure that
would make the farm program
fully effective, rather than cutting
of the prosperity stream at the
source, as it is doing now. The re-
covery that has been made has been
largely due to improvement in farm
buying power after the dark days
of 1888.
Farm income is still nearly two
billions short Of parity, which is
simply fair exchange value, and
economic balance can never be re-
stored until farmers are able to
trade their products on fair basis
for goods and services produced by
other groups. Farmers are pro-
ducing abundantly and selling food
and fiber at what amounts to 27
per cent discount.
Farmers Pay the Penalty.
For generations farmers have
paid the penalty Of the tariff on
everything they buy. Eventually
they won from the Government a
plan which promised tariff equiv
alent which would give agriculture
the benefits Of the American pro-
tective system. Now it seems that
the economy bloc of the House pro-
poses to sabotage farm recovery to
nullify the gains that have been
made, and set our basic industry
back 20 years.
If that is to be the policy of this
Congress, then let Congress take the
responsibility. The Farm Bureau
will take the fight to the country
and those striking at agriculture
will have to face their farmer con-
stituents and give an account of
their stewardship"
Farmers want a balanced budget,
the statement said, but they be-
lieve in balancing it in q construc-
tive way. by taking steps which will
raise the national income to a figure
at which it can be balanced"
THAT can be done," he said, "by
raising agriculture's income to IL
billion dollars annually. That would
generate enough new business to put
this country once more into high
gear, to strike the most telling blow
yet delivered to unemployment and
give new hope and confidence to the
Nation"

Mr.. Kennedy's Speech

Ambassador Joseph p Kennedy
last night essayed a dual role in a
radio address to the American peo-
Pile. Just as Mr.. Roosevelt has had
difficulty in separating the presi-
dency from his candidacy for re-
election, Mr. Kennedy mixed diplo-
macy with politics in his broadcast
over a Nationwide network, the cost
of which, he was careful to make
plain, was borne by "the Kennedy
family"
If our Ambassador to the Court Of
st. James had stuck to foreign af-
fairs in his speech-as it seemed he
would do until the latter phases of
the broadcaSt-hiS remarks would
have carried much more weight with
the people whom he has been repre-
senting in bomb-besieged London His
flight home would have been more
than justified by the accounting
which he renderd of his arduous job
of envoy to friendly nation at war
with our potential enemies. The OBJ
servations and the conclusions
which he expressed in his role of
diplomat were timely and sound.
America, he said, must and can stay
out of this war-by rearming at top
speed while Great Britain holds off
the forces Of aggression which peril
the whole world. To enable the
British to continue their resistance
and thus to give us more precious
days and weeks in which to make
ourselves stronger, America, he
agreed, must give all possible aid to
England, short of war" He con-
siders absurd" any suggestion that
we declare war on the axis powers,
that we send an expeditionary force
to Europe. 1t Is absurd" too, he
declared, to suggest that any secret
commitment or understanding ex-
lists with Britain to such an end.
What Britain urgently needs, he en-
phasized, is not men but machines
the materiel of war. We can best
help Britain by sending her this ma
teriel in generous quantities and
with maximum speed.
Toward the end Mr.. Kennedy
abandoned his ambassadorial role in
favor Of that of political campaigner.
In the political climax to his remarks,
the Ambassador to Great Britain
urged that the American people re-
elect Mr. Roosevelt for third term.
1t is hard to believe that Ambassa-
dor Kennedy flew across the Atlantic
for the sole purpose of making
campaign speech. And it is to be
hoped that the observation post in
so important capital as London will
not long be without the immediate
services of an ambassador.

British Bombers

The British Royal Air Force bomb
ing raid on the Skoda works at Pill
sen, Czecho- -Slovakia, indicates that
the British now are producing some
four-engined long-range lombard
ment airplanes of their own.
The Skoda raid is by far the
longest-range air mission yet flown
during the war. News dispatches do
not indicate what types Of aircraft
the British employed, but the round
trip is believed to have been beyond
the effective load range of the two
engined bombers which have been
used so effectively against Germany
and even Northern Italy.
The British are known to have
been developing at least two models
of the so-called flying fortress type
bomber, a Handley-Paige and a
Sterling, and a month ago crews to
man these ships were reported to be
making trial flights and since have
been engaged in training operations.
The new British aircraft are said to
be specially designed for high alti-
tude operations and to have range
sufficient for flight from England to
Egypt and return without refueling.
The Germans also are known to
be engaged in development of four
engined, long-range bombers, which
have been seen twice in flight over
England, apparently on a service
test status.
The advent on both sides of these
long-range bombers is of great i'm
portance, as indicative Of a shifting
theater of war. Long range is not
built into military aircraft unless it
is absolutely required by strategical
and tactical considerations; it means
too many sacrifices in speed and
carrying capacity. They cannot be
used efficiently for short-range
operations, for which high-speed,
specialized aircraft are indicated.
The flying fortress type of bomber
was developed first in the United
States to meet the requirements of
continental and hemisphere defense.
It is intended to be used against
enemy naval or transport move
ments far at sea and particularly to
break up enemy landing attempts
duties which make long-range, speed
and load-carrying characteristics in
dispensable.
Even should the British have their
four-engined Handley-Paige or Ster-
ling bombers in operation, the fact
probably will not affect their need
for American Boeing flying fort
resses. The opening of new and dis
tant theaters of action would require
long-range bombers in quantities
which the threatened British fac
tories cannot be expected to produce
for some time to come.

Name
Mistress Midas

My days are prim as grasses
Their spear points tipped with sun
I brush and dust and knit and sew,
And when each day is done,
MY mortal mind can boast but this:
While mending socks I dream
And weave among the strong black var
A thread with golden gleam.
My steps proceed in diagram
From room to sunlit room,
Whose lattice windows open wide
To catch the years sweet bloom,
And deep within are shelves for dreams
An everlasting store
OF spirit wealth against the time
When winter bars the door.
I gather stars hung lantern-low
Above the misty hills,
The changing coppers of the trees,
The nuggets from the rills -.
For We whose days take root IN earth
Must keep uplifted eyes
Though primly poised, our thoughts
shall have
An option on the skies,

This column is not familiar with the
third call of the towhee of which our
correspondent speaks, but does not dis
pute 1t, because no one can hear every
thing, especially in bird music.
Most songsters are capable of far more
songs and cries than is generally realized
Starlings, for instance, and even crows
have many sweet, melodious little notes
There is probably no well-known bird
which does not have more real songs
than are given in the books. Some of
these are variations, so we'll done that
to the casual ear they are new songs
Nothing is surer than that each songs
ter is, in its way, a genuine artist
straight from the hand of the Creator
with a genius for song.
Man loves to classify, TO put down once
and for all. in everything he investigates
So it has become fashionable to accord
each bird species particular song and
a particular call.
But most avid listeners to bird music
will be willing to swear that there is a
great deal more to their music than
this.
The towhee or chewink is a case in
instance
It's two usual or normal cries are tow
hee" and "che-wink." It is from these
cries that the bird gets its common
names.
A popular name in some parts of the
country is Jo-ree, undoubtedly from one
of the calls.

The American Spirit

The involuntary outcry which
escaped from the lips of Mrs. Mildred
Bell when she learned that her sons
registration number was the first to
be drawn in the selective service
lottery came from the collective
heart of America. Every mother and
every father will understand.
Strong forces clashed in the
crowded auditorium as Mr. Roosevelt
read out the fateful numerals. For
Mrs. Bell, and for thousands upon
thousands of other American moth
ers, a new page of life had been
turned. A new world had opened for
them.
The rest of us cannot-need not
know the detailed story of the things
that Mrs. Bell put behind her in the
brief moment that it took for the
Presidents voice to call out: Num-
Der 158." But the broad outlines
the sorrows and the joys, the pride
and the love that go into the rearing
of boy are familiar enough. Small
wonder that the cry was wrenched
from her as she heard his number
called
But when the first quick shock
had passed another emotion asserted
itself in these words: Il am both
proud and saddened But I'm glad
to have my son serve"
That was not a calculated state
ment. Nor was Mrs. Bell speaking
for herself alone. Hers were the
words of race of mothers who have
ever been willing to pay the price
Of freedom. And if the test should
come that price will be paid again.
The people of America hope that
they will not be forced into war. But
the skies are dark, and we have no
choice but to prepare for the worst
that the future may bring. And as
this country, for the first time in its
history, begins in earnest to prepare
for war while yet at peace, there is
a solemn warning to all aggressors
to be derived from the cry that went
out over the air yesterday. 1t is
this:
The most ruthless of conquerors
will succeed only in smashing himself
against the ramparts of a strong
Nation whose mothers are glad to
have their sons serve.

people Of this or any other land than
the gift of freedom for body, mind and
spirit The right to live the normal life
of child.
Thousands of young boys and men
have been given the opportunity of
healthful and hopeful living through the
c. C. c. and their activities. rather than
the utter Generalization that was fast
turning them into cynical criminals.
There is, also, the gift of relief to needy
and desperate men and women-a mighty
attempt to help them keep their chins
up by giving them work Eyes, even made
work. the right of every self-respecting
soul in this Commonwealth.
Higher wages have been given to the
laborer, social security to the worker,
pensions to the old, to mention but a
few of the benefits given to the people
by new laws placed upon the statute
books in the past eight years.
If the distribution of these gifts has
not always been wise, place the blame
on the helpers of Santa Claus" and not
on the author of these splendid social
enactments, which are not ION order"
but long since distributed
We may add that our friend Santa
Claus has increasingly advocated peace
and good will among all the nations of
the earth.
In world filled with despair, caused
by the greed and selfishnesS of men, We
of the United States should thank God
that we have the Santa Claus spirit
among us, which at its best is the spirit
of brotherhood and Christianity

eight years (1912-1920) this rela-
lively small Balkan state expanded
prodigiously in size and population,
mainly due to the crumbling of the
great Austro-Hungarian Empire in
the World War. Most of those terri
tories annexed to Serbia to form the
new country of Yugoslavia were, to
be sure, Inhabited by people of similar
blood. But their history, their cul-
ture and their religion were diff
ferent from the Serbian, and in
Eastern Europe those things are
highly important. Furthermore, the
Serbs tried to run the country which
they had made with their blood and
wartime sacrifices, and which they
alone felt capable of holding to-
gether as strong, unified state. But
this angered their newly annexed
kinsfolk-Croats, Slovenes, Dalma-
tians, Bosnian Mohammedans and
half-Bulgarian Macedonians. Also,
there were large minorities Of non
Slavs-especially the Magyars and
Germans. All these people wanted
loose federal state, and when the
ruling Serbs refused, they made con-
stant trouble.
Difficulties increased until the late
King Alexander practically abolished
constitutional, parliamentary govern
ment and established a semi military
dictatorship. Then he was assassi-
mated by terrorist fanatic, and a
regency had to be established until
the present boy king is old enough to
rule in his own right. This regency
restored parliamentary rule and par
TALLY has conciliated the non-Serb
elements. Also, the outbreak of the
present war has tended to rally all
YugoSlavs around the government in
face of common dangers from abroad.
Still, the old quarrels simmer be-
meath the surface. 1t is this which
hinderS a resolute foreign policy.
The different brands of Yugoslavs
might fight shoulder to shoulder
against an invader, especially If he
were an Italian. But to take positive
action beyond the frontier prob
ably would be a different story.
Add to these domestic handicaps the
strategic difficulties due to encircle-
ment by the axis powers, and we can
see the net result in restricting the
government to an attitude of de-
fensive neutrality.
Therefore, unless Italy and Ger
many should violate Yugoslav terri
tory or make extreme demands such
as the right of passage for their
troops, it is more than likely that
Yugoslavia will be a sort Of Balkan
Sweden, technically independent but
so coerced by the axis that it will
become increasingly subservient in
every way.

paradise which France was supposed
to be when finally the guillotine
should suspend operation. A candid
chronicler records that due to the
decision to leave the enforcement
of the law in the hands of local
authorities "the army soon became
filled with vagabonds and criminals" !"
Bonaparte remedied that condition
when he had the power. The faults
Of his system in turn are to be found
in the novel by Erckmann and
Chatrian which once was standard
reading in America as well as abroad.
Better and more equitable pro-
cedures are those which in 1917 and
again in 1910 have been employed
by the Government of the United
States. Men drafted now may re-
gret the necessity which calls them
from normal business, but they are
proud of the experience to which,
for the sake of ordered freedom, they
submit themselves.

Writer Welcomes
Political Santa Claus.
To the Editor of The Star

We have frequently heard our Repub-
lican friends make this despairing re-
mark regarding the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, "You can't beat Santa
Claus!"
Now, as the Santa Claus season ap-
proaches, We pause, in the din and con-
fusion of political conflict, to consider
our CHEEKY old friend Santa Claus and
what he stands for.
Unselfishness, kindness, generosity,
peace and good will to all are attributes
of this legendary figure which has
brought so much happiness to the world.
Happiness in childhood and happiness in
later years, when the spirit of Santa
Claus has filled our hearts and hands
with thoughts and deeds for others
rather than ourselves.
Surely to be ikened to him is no mean
compliment!
Our President and the party which he
leads have, indeed, been true Santa
Claus to many classes of our people. To
childhood in abolishing that dark blot
child labor.
No gift was ever greater to the little
