closely to the needs of the indi-
v!dual farmer, to the needs of
the Nation, and to the needs of
the land itself We realized that
we had reached our last frontier
of new lands-and had no choice
but to conserve and rebuild our
existing soil.
Farmers Elected by Farmers
Provide Localized Control.
All through these seven years
one fundamental feature has run
like a thread through the success
sive adjustment and conservation
and ever-normal granary pro-
grams. That is the essential
policy of localized control, with
the program run by committees
of farmers elected by farmers
and that goes for farmers re-
gardless of what party they hap
pen to be enrolled in.
Experience has amply borne
out the wisdom Of the safeguards
with which those county asso-
Citations and committees were
surrounded. In 5000 counties
practically all the counties of
the Nation which are not occu-
pied wholly by cities-they win
respect and they deserve respect.
None but those farmer commit
teemen themselves will ever
know how they have sweated
over details of the program, how
they have sacrificed their own
personal interests and their lei
sure as they spent thousands of
hours and drove thousands of
miles to make the program sue
ceed.
Back of these committeeman,
helping them in their work, Civ
ing support to the program, have
been some of the great general
farm organizations. Not only in
the farm communities, but right
here in Washington, these Or
ganizations have helped to shape
and perfect the successive farm
laws.
When we launched the ma
tional farm program seven years
ago we hoped that recovery In
the United States would be ac-
companied by a great revival of
our trade with other countries.

that the whole world had been
restored to prosperity and

could tell you that the markets
which your fathers and grand

Reciprocal Trade Program.
Improves Farm Market.
I can tell you this-that we
have done many things which
have helped the situation.
Through our reciprocal trade
program we have tried to spread
our good-neighbor philosophy
through many nations of the
world. That program has
brought results-results not only
in better markets for our in
dustrial goods. but in better mar
kets for our farm goods-re-
suits which are mathematically
proved in terms of pounds and
bushels and dollars and cents.

ers for political campaign pur-
poses. In addition, there are Sem
ators who were opposed in the first
instance to any prohibition against
the use of these officeholders in
political campaigns. Their an
nounced reason was that no man
or woman-should be denied the
right of taking part actively in
political campaigns merely because
he or she happened to be on the
Government pay roll.

joined by 10 Republicans, Senator
Norris of Nebraska, Independent;
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
Progressive, and Senator Shipstead

count was sufficient to uphold the
politics law.
Leaders Stand Courageous.
The Democratic leader of the
Senate took a courageous stand on
this issue against majority of his
party associates in the Senate. Not
only was his stand courageous, but
1t was the essence of political sense
A repeal or virtual repeal of the
clean-politics laW-permitting all
Federal officeholders to campaign
actively, to manage political cam
palgns, etc.-Would have become a
live issue before the American peo-
Pile. The Democratic party, and
particularly the Democratic admin
istration. would have been harshly
criticized for seeking to do the very
thing which the Hatch Act is de-
signed to prevent-perpetuate itself
in power through the use of Federal
patronage and an army of bureau
Gratis. The army, by the way, is far
larger today than it has been in
any other administration in his
tory. 1t is an army, too, which is
in position TO crack down on voters
who are on relief rolls-and mil
lions of voters are still in that posi-
ton.
Senator Barkley said, debating the
Miller amendment. which would
have hamstrung the Hatch Act:
Il am unwilling for my party to
go before the country under the
suspicion that it is trying to use the
power of intimidation and coercion
so as to compel some of its ap-
pointees to be a little more active
than they otherwise might be, in
order that we may gain a victory

such methods, but, if we could, it

done to help preserve and re-
store peace in the world. the
bitter truth is that the world is
not at peace. AS I speak to you.
tonight guns are laundering on
the battlefields of Europe and
Asia. Ships that ply the seas
are exposed to the hazards of
bomb and torpedo.
In the midst of a world at war,
we find that the foreign COM
merce we had managed to
achieve is rudely disturbed. Some
people may say, What of that?
Does not our domestic trade
comprise 80 per cent of all our
business? Yes, that is true for
the Nation as a whole. But for
some industries export trade &C
counts for considerably more
than 10 per cent of sales. In
agriculture, for example, that is
true of cotton, tobacco, apples,
lard, wheat and other products.
And all agriculture is certain to
be seriously affected if our export
market disappears.
So 1t is more than ever i'm
portant for farmers to have a
Government in Washington that
is looking out for their interests
not just by uttering glittering
generalities but by specific poll
cies and concrete action. 1t is
more than ever important to
maintain q national farm pro-
gram that can be adapted to
meet whatever emergencies arise
whether they are emergencies
OF drought or of lost markets
overseas. 1t is more than ever
important to have a Government
in Washington that can act to
protect the interests of our
farmers as we'll as our business
men when foreign trade condi-
tions are upset.
Farm Program Shows
Democracy in Action.
In Europe economic failure has
led in some lands to dictatorship.
In America we are using the
tools of democracy to make our
economic system efficient, to pre-
serve our freedom and to keep
away even from any talk of die
tatorship. The national farm
program is American democracy's
response to agricultural distress.
And any unprejudiced person
who knows anything about the
subject not only admits but pro-
claims the fact that our national
farm program was democratic
cally conceived and is being DEM
ocratically conducted with the
active help of our farmers them
selves.
Furthermore. they proclaim

Anniversary Farm Dinners Broadcast
Traces Agriculture Program Since 1888

The tert OF President Roose-
Delts radio address last night to
dinner celebrations of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
tton's anniversary tollotDs:
AS I listened to the remarks
of Henry Wallace and Jim Farley
just now, and in my minds eye
saw the hundreds of groups of
farmers and their friends meet
ing throughout the country, my
memory went back to scenes of
other years.
I remembered the day in Sep
tember, 1882, when, at Topeka,
Kans., under the very hot sun
that beat down on the steps of
the State Capitol. I talked with
an audience of farmers about the
farm problem. I gave them my
pledge that. if were called to
serve in the White House, I
would take the lead in action to
reverse the process of agricul-
tural decay which had been eat
ing at our national foundations
for many years.
And I have sought consistently
and constantly to keep that
pledge. Four days after I took
Office in 1933-while the banks of
the country were still closed and
we were sternly wrestling with
the question of how to get them
open again-I called the con-
ference of farmers and leaders
of farm organizations to which
Secretary Wallace has referred.
Seven years ago tonight the call
went out to farm leaders by wire
and by telephone to convene here
in Washington on March 10.
Well do I remember the his
toric conference at the White
House that followed. In that
grave emergency past disagree
ments were forgotten and all the
farm groups quickly united on
new farm plan.
Decided to Abandon Policy
OF Rural Neglect.
The adoption of that plan in its
essential outlines by the Congress
marked a far-reaching decision
in our national life. We stopped
asking agriculture to pay the bill
for industry's high tariff. We
decided that as a Nation we would
no longer promote commerce and
industry at the expense of agri-
culture. We decided that as q
Nation we would abandon the
policy of rural neglect.
That old policy of neglect had
brought 10 years of depression on
our farms and had contributed
greatly to depression in the cities.
1t had hastened the bank panic
which, In February and early
March. 1888, paralyzed business
all over the United States.
In the seven years that have
elapsed since that time, the ma
tional farm program has properly
undergone a continual evolution.
That first piece of legislation
the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1933-was long step forward,
but it was not perfect. AS the
years went by, weather condi-
tions changed, market conditions
changed-yes, and even court
conditions changed. So the pro-
visions of the farm program have
been correspondingly changed.
We have learned from expert
ence and have gradually adapted

The legions of readers of the
famed book by C. Collodi will re-
member the exciting adventure
wherein the old wood carver Gep-
petto, foster father of the little
marionette, Pinocchio, is swallow
ed by a whale while practically
combing the world for Pinocchio,
who has run away from home.
Pinocchio, returning home only
to find his father gone, starts

result that he winds up in the in

adventures inside the monster and
their efforts to get out come to the
screen as exciting and funny as
only the Disney medium can make
them.
The artists at the studio spent
many hours of research studying
whale anatomy in order that a GER
tain amount of reality could be
combined with the necessary fan
tasy for these sequences. They had
to bring their fertile imaginations
into play to solve many questions
such as how the world might look
to one standing inside a whales
mouth looking out, or how the
walls of the stomach should look
