SMALL FARMS FOR THE
MIGRANTS NOT ENOUGH
(Oroville Mercury-Reg

Former President Hoover suggests i'll
a talk before students and faculty ol
Stanford University that California s mi
grant laborers be settled on small indi-
vidual farms Of from 3 To ) acres scat
tered throughout the states agricultural
areas.
I'VE should undertake To settle people
not in great camps but to establish them
in 3-to-5-acre homes and to place these
settlements of small numbers throughout
the country so they will be accessible To
whatever employment there is.
Such a move would be a step in the
right direction. but only a step. 1t would
not solve California $ distressing migrant
problem.
A year or SO ago the trend towards
smaller and smaller farms was taken
note of by agricultural economic confer
ences held in every agricultural county OF
the state under the auspices Of the Uni
versity of California. These conferences
almost unanimously agreed that this
trend should be discouraged that Il
family of average size cannot be self sup
porting on less than 80 acres of land
under usual circumstances.
OF course Hoover'S idea is not that
they should be self supporting, but that
they should be able to support them
selves partially through agriculture and
be available for whatever Jobs there were.
There are so many small-acreage farm
ers now throughout the state looking for
odd jobs on adjacent farms and in the
nearby cities that the available work IS
being done with a surplus Of labor exist
ing. This was true before the migrants
began arriving in large numbers.
The Hoover plan would help but it
would not solve the situation \ benefit
cent federal government. standing by TO
bolster these little farmers and help them
to become self supporting would he nee
essary. for even if every migrant family
vas started on its way with an equipped
and planted farm Of ) acres the prob
lem still would be too big for California;

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Keeping Americans Free and Equal

the meaning that the Colonial pat
riot meant to convey was that the
nation he helped found must be
kept free OF castles in the sense
that they existed in the old world.
His idea was 10 establish a nation
devoid not only of carlS and baronS
and feudal landowners but also of
all the shackleS and evils for which
class society stood.
Today that tradition is being men,
acod, President James B. Conant of
Harvard University recently told
those participating in the 72nd
birthday Observance of the Uni
HerSity of California at Los An
gele5.
DR. Conant conceded that modern
college youngsters are inclined to
sneer at the phrase, equality of
opportunity It is up To the uni
versities TO make some revolutionary
changes in their methods of pre-
pairing young folks for adulthood,
the educator said The idea of a
castelcSs nation must be rcVital-
iZcd, given new impetus in colleges.
he maintained.
But is it enough merely to pre-
serve the ideal? Isn't American So
ciety as a whole LARGELY responsible
for preserving the equality tradition
by giving the youngsters with their
brand-neW diplomas chance TO
use the things they learned in
school? How can anyone assure the
hopeful graduate job when the
existence OF from 10 l. million
unemployed remains an mcomfort-
able reality?
Educators can do their part in
renovating the school system 10
meet the needs of a new. techno-
logical America It's up TO those of
us not in college TO lind a way to
make use of this new talent. When
we do, the idea of equality will be-
come a living thing. II won't aeed
to be pumped into anyone.

THE WORKER REGISTERS
Christian Science Monitor)


For whom does the Daily Worker work =?
The question is renewed rather than an
swered by the registration statement
which the New York Communist news
paper has filed under the act requiring
registration of agents for foreign prin-
cipals.
The registration statement denies the
Daily Worker acts for any "toreign pl'n-
cipal.' Yet the State Department re-
sponse in the matter naturally suggests
the query: If this is the case, why does
the paper register under an act applying
to agents of foreign principals:
Theoretically Il is conceivable that he
publication and the Communist Party in
the United States, by which it is subsidiz-
ed, might be guided solely by American
Communists without reference to Mos
COW. Yet in practice this is hardly i'm
aginable; for without some very tangible
pressure, how could its editors, who had
been so busily building the democratic
front" and berating Naziism, have per
suaded themselves SO quickly last August
to defend the compact between Stain and
Hitler?
