FRANKS G. o. p. PLATFORM
II you have been following the
campaign speeches of the Repubi-
can candidates, you probably have
been struck by this interesting CO.
incidence:
That on all major issues their
views are practically identical; and
that all these views are strikingly
similar to the ideas expressed in
the report of the Glenn Frank Pro-
gram committee.
As one Republican veteran on
Capitol Hill sagely observed, 1.-THE
boys apparently are writing their
speeches with a Thesaurus in one
hand and the Frank report in the
other"
This quiet borrowing from the
Frank report is particularly evident
on the farm issue. The Frank COM
mittee, in effect, approved the AAA
but criticized allegedly inefficient
and bureaucratic administration.
Glacier County chief., 1940-04-12

Also it advocated that the emphasis
on benefit payments should be on
"soil conservation" rather than on
the New Deals "crop control"
The Frank farm plank" unques-
tionably scored in the crucial grain
belt. 1t was widely republished and
enthusiastically endorsed by many
prominent local Republicans. This
was not lost on the three leading
G. o. P. candidates, Dewey, Taft
and Vandenberg.
Since publication of the report
they have followed its farm plank"
very closely. In his Omaha speech,
Dewey practically echoed the plank.
Taft, who last December in Des
Moines took poke at farm subsi-
dies, sang a more Frank-like tune
in his second try at the farm issue
at Springfield, Ill. And Vanden-
berg's senate declarations on the
subject also have been along the
lines of the Frank report.
Liberal Gospel.
This attitude of the candidates is
very significant.
The Frank report is a lot more
liberal than the views held by GER
tain powerful eastern G. o. P. lead
ers, who will have a great deal to
say behind the scenes at the Phila-
delphia convention. That the can
didates nevertheless are echoing the
doctrines enunciated by the report
indicates clearly that they deem
this liberalism necessary to win
public favor.
1t also is a good tipoff that when
the G. o. P. platform emerges it
will read very much like the Frank
report. In his preface, DR.. Frank
stated that it was not the intention
of his committee to write a plat
form. But party insiders will give
you odds that that is just what he
did.

WASHINGTON. - Wide fiuctua-
tons in the "corn-hog ratio" are
playing hob with farm administra-
ton efforts toward stabilized corn
belt income.
The "corn-hog ratio" is an eco
nomic law that works like see-saw.
When corn prices 60 down, hog pro-
duction goes up. When corn prices
60 up, hog production goes down.
Government efforts to balance the
two-hog production and corn prices

have not been entirely successful.
They have gone alternately up and
down for many years.
After the 1887 drouth high hog
prices sent production skyrocketing.
Farmers saved large numbers Of
hogs for breeding in 1888. In 1889
hog production made a record in

the 1904 level. 1t WAS profitable
to feed $50 per cent" corn to "76

The corn-hog ratio was on its Sec

ministration. Two forces were set
in motion that were to reverse the
order within IL months. SURPRISES
piled up to halt the hog price rise,
and the government began sealing
up millions of bushels of corn under
loans.

THAT guy could wear gunny

He's got a personality that steals

Roosevelt was not wearing a

Wallace were broadcasting from the

the other evening The occasion
was the AAA dinners for farmers
throughout the country, and the
President, a veteran in such mat
tiers, was offering his Secretary of
Agriculture a little good humored
coaching before they began to
speak.
He explained to Henry that the
newsreels would use three lenses
during each talk-a small lens for
a distance shot, the larger lens for
middle range, and finally big lens
for closeup.
That's the lens you've got to
watch, Henry" said the President.

Alpine castle, when he was married
to Hedy Lamar, the screen star,

plans were war casualty, but Mr..
Mandl is sitting pretty in Argentina,
the hidalgo of a great estate, and
getting a fast running start with
new steel and munitions plants in
the land of the pampas.
He fooled Hitler. His great
arms plants, including the Hirt-

be worth about $50, 000, 900. That
was a nice, fat grouse for the

Now 40 years old, round-faced and
merry, he was a playboy in his
youth, but stayed on the job in his
later years. The munitions works
were a family holding, founded by
his grandfather, Sigmund, and ex-

Dec e m b Z,
and, even before the start of the

financial union between the two
countries as the first bulwark of

that both nations must abandon their
