GENERAL PERSHING
General Pershing's solemn warn
ing that unless aid is given the Brit
ish fleet to resist Hitler, the United
States faces certain attack, was not
reply to the appeasement broad
cast of Colonel Lindbergh. When the
A. E. F. commander decided, after
study of confidential military re-
ports, to come out of retirement
and speak to the nation, he did not
know that the flyer also planned to
talk.
Also, Pershing wrote his speech
without any knowledge of what Lind
bergh would say. However, PERISH
ing did tune in on the latter's broad
cast. But it was only for few
minutes.
The General of the Armies be-
came so incensed at Lindbergh's
views that he turned off the radio
and snapped, That's outrageous.
I'm saying nothing about that young
man in my talk tonight, but I shall
make it my business to do SO on
another occasion"

TENANT FARMERS

bcSpltc Oil Tie BOOu lltcutlOiiS "a
Henry Wallace regarding the share
cropper and tenant farmer, the in
side fact is that both have been in
creasing in numbers and decreas-
ing in security, year by year. For
anybody who wants to write an
other Grapes of WRATH" there is
more abundant material than ever.
1t is not being shouted from the
housetops, but between 1880 and
1885, the number of farm tenants
increased at the rate of 10000 a
year to reach the staggering total
of 2,865, 900. The 1910 census, when
the figures are out, is expected to
show still higher figure.
Privately agriculture department
officials admit that they are just
about licked, and have almost aban-
doned their drive to reduce ten
antry.
There are three reasons for the
increase in tenant farming:
l. Increased mechanization. Best
index of this is the mounting sale
of tractors. Neurological unem-
ployment, which long ago hit the
factory, has now come to the farm.
2. Reduced acreage. To prevent
price-depressing SURPRISES, AAA
contracts with farmers to plant less.
This means fewer tenants are need
ed to plant, tend and harvest the
crops. Meantime, the rested land
next year gives higher yield, neces-
states further reduction of acre
age.
3. In spite of AAA efforts, how
ever, tenants and sharecroppers are
not getting proportional benefits of
AAA payments. The money goes to
the landlords, many of whom are
insurance companies and absentee
owners. AAA officials, headed by
Gully Cobb, have insisted they can't
make an issue of this or they will
lose landlords compliance.
Sharecropper Security.
Economists in the department are
now making a drive for security for
tenants. This represents radical
shift of direction. For until recent
ly, Tie was " SOllNelt
to owners, with government aid.
Instead, realizing that many ten
ants are incapable of owning and
operating farm, AAA planners are
not trying to decrease the number
of tenants but to increase their in
come and security 1t is pointed out
that tenantry in England is much
higher than in the United States
$50 per cent against 42) but that
the English farm tenants have
degree of protection unknown here.
First step in this direction is to
formalize and legalize the relation
between farmer and tenant by
bringing in a simple, uniform lease
to bind the relation between them.
Over so per cent of all tenants
and sharecroppers have only YER
bal agreements with their landlords.
Conferences in the agriculture de-
partment are preparing for such a
drive Preliminary material has
been drawn up, under Economist
Dover P. Trent. The country will
soon hear about the flexible farm

approximately a million tenant
families 100000 persons) move

poured out by the billions, never
touch them. They are the big I'M

 Destruction Of Seaport Hamburg g

UNDATED, Aug. 2 (H) - The virtual destruction of the great seaport of Hamburg was claimed by authoritative British sources, while Germany countered with a statement that her own raiders struck new devitalizing blows on the British merchant fleet.

Thousands of bombs were rained on the port of Ere men with its shipbuilding yards, docks, and aircraft factory and more than a hundred German cit ies, towns and military points were attacked.
 The Nazis claimed today that the air force sunk large mer- chantman, tanker and a mine patrol boat yesterday. A sub marine returning to its base re- ported the sinking of 72,000 tons of shipping.
