Increased Investment
Reduces Security

First, it reduces security. II you
raise your own food you need never
starve in a panic.
Then there is health:
A family with low income and
plenty Of food growing right on the
place is more likely to get a con-
tinuously healthful diet than one
which has to buy what it eats.
Raising ones own food helps d.
vide up responsibility for the family
welfare because young children and
old folks can tend a garden or feed
the chickens. II the eggs and vege-
tables and milk are purchased,
the children's interests are re-
moved from the interests Of their
parents and older brothers and sis
tiers. Furthermore. child who
helps raise its own food also gets
what a city child doesn't get-a
chance to learn through doing.
Another disadvantage Of farming
for money only. with the greater
use of machines. is that it makes it
harder to own a farm. The money
goes into perishable things instead
. into the sod title to land. The
farmer tends to become renter
and if times are bad and a renter
can't pay his rent he loses every
thing,
This is just one of the tarm prob
lens that the farmer can think over
during the long winter evenings.
Like many other good things ma
chinery can be too much Of good
thing Alexander Pope's advice
still stands:

much bad luck as we do.

What's next? With the frost on
the pumpkin, fodder in the shock,
the world settling down to a hard
winter and long war. those Of US
who aren't in the first draft or just
elected to Office have a chance to
look two ways from Christmas.
The industrial tail is about to wag
the agricultural dog again the ex-
perts tell us, surplus labor is about
to be syphoned off the farm which
is fine for the man who has too
many mouths to feed and too few
acres to divide up. but not so good
for the farmer who needs a few
extra hands. However, If you do
turn around and look back IS years
just to take your mind off present
troubles you can see some interest
ing sights which have just been set
up in sharp perspective by the inter-
bureau committee of the depart
ment Of agriculture.
In that short span for a man or a
mule, IS years, 100000 mules and
horses and thousands of men have
been pushed off the farm by the
machine. And, according to the
prognosticators in Washington, q
million and half more mules and
horses will be replaced by tractors
in the next 10 years, and more than
5000, 900 acres Of land now used
to raise feed for work stock viii
be put to other uses.
Farmer Has Long
Utilized Machines
We've been hearing a lot about
man versus the machine, especial
ly since the smash Of 1929 that made
unemployment the big issue. and
again since the smash Of 1910 when
the Nazis with their tanks and mo-
torized equipment went through
France like a pillow through loan.
But the farmer had been getting
machine conscious long before that.
Especially since the little jack-of-
all trades tractor appeared on the
field. replacing the cumbersome
earlier models.
Along with the tractor came lot
more chronological developments"
including not only farm machinery
like the combine and the corn-pick-
er but other scientific advances such
as testing and breeding and feeding
of animals and plants, soil conser-
walton, disease prevention and 9TH
er things. This technology has hurt
as well as helped. Besides the thou
sands of men who have lost their
jobs on farms as well as in facto-
ries. prices have been affected and
the whole social life on the farm
hrs changed.

ut is not that these scientific ad-
vances are to be blamed" for the
difficulties which have arisen, the
Washington experts say, but 1.-THE
troubles. If any, arise from the in
equality Of adjustments and re-
sponses in agriculture and industry
to such advances"
Just what the advantages and dis
advantages are that lie ahead is
told in detail in a 224-page book,
printed by the government and
called Technology on the Farm"
One thing that interested me par.
ticularly lin this interesting book,
aside frodi It's excellent and detailed
information, was an editorial opin-
ion it expressed on the way the use
of machines has changed farming
for a living to farming for cash.
There's a difference.
OF course when you have to buy
a lot Of machinery you need hard
money but there are disadvantages
in simply raising products with the
one purpose of turning them into
money.

The following message is pub

States, and Reynaud, Premier Of
France:
Mr.. President, I wish first TO
express to you my deep gratitude
for the generous aid which you
have decided to accord us in avi-
alton, material and ornaments.
For six days and six nights our
divisions have been fighting
without an hour of rest against
an army of crushing superiority
in manpoWer and material. The
enemy today is almost at the
gates Of Paris.
We are struggling in front Of
Paris. We are struggling behind
Paris. We will shut ourselves up
in one of our provinces and if we
are pursued we will go to North
Africa and if need be to our
possession in America.
Premier to Go to Armies.
Part of the government already
has left Paris. I myself am 60
ing to the armies. 1t will be to
intensity the struggle with all
the forces we command and not
to abandon it. Can I ask you,
Mr.. President, to explain all that
yourself to your people, to all
United States citizens, telling
them we are resolved to sacrifice
ourselves in the struggle we are
leading for all free men.
At the hour I speak to you an
other dictator has just struck
France in the back. A new
lrontler is menaced. The naval
war is going to open.
You have generously replied to
the appeal 1 sent you some days
ago across the Atlantic. Today,
June 10, it is my duty to make a
new and larger demand. At the
same time you state this situa-
tion to the men and women of
America beseech you to declare
publicly that the United States
accord to the Allies their moral
and material support in all
means save the dispatch of an
expeditionary corps. I beseech
you to make this before it is too
late. I know the gravity of such

Japanese Warn French
On Aid to China

HONG KONG, June 13 (P.-The
japanese Army in South China today
issued a statement saying It was
not able 'to condone aid given
Chan Kai-shek by authorities Of
French Indo-China who are unable
to take cognizance of the new state
of affairs in East Asia"
The statement, interpreted by
Domei Japanese news agency asa
vigorous warning" to France,
charged the French with continual
supply of war materials for Chang
Kai-shek through French Indo-
China.
1t added that the japanese Army
had 'Enimpeachable information"
that French Ambassador Henri
Cosme told Chang Kai-shek in April
that France, while outwardly main
tanning a neutral attitude in the
Chinese Japanese War, had in fact
been extending great deal of
assistance to China because the
greater part of the war matrial
which the Chungking government
bought abroad passed through Indo-
: China.
French authorities cannot dis
claim these facts about their as
sistance to the Chang Kai-shek
regime" the statement said.

M. Dostert devoted some OF hi,
speech to refuting German attribu-
ton Of German ills to the Versailles
treaty. He said:
Two years before National So
cialism came to power" he said.
Germany was free from all the
principal economic, political and
moral handicaps originating in the
treaty OF peace that could hinder
her existence as peaceful nation.
1T was not Versailles that brought
forth Hltlerism. 1t was Germany
herself. The only so-called tentacles
which were still in existence at the
time OF the advent of National So
clallsm were the protective restric.
tions, whose sole purpose it was to

a declaration tonight demanding
that all troops, warships and other
armed forces of European belliger-

drawn.
The Marking regime, headed by

In this critical period" it said,
"the presence of belligerent troops
Is likely to result in conflict which
may develop to serious proportions.
No German Forces in China.
British and French garrisons are
stationed in close proximity to small

The United States has marine

only 200.
Britain, France and the United

those of the Allies have been greatly
reduced since the war began.
