Reed to the Rescue
Fearful over the prospects Of pas
Usage of the farm debt adjustment bill
during the present session of con-
Igress, reactionaries are becoming des-
Iperate. Evidence of that fact is seen
in the attack of Rep. Reed on A. G..
Black last week in which the New
York congressman accused the gov
ernor of the Farm Credit Administra-
ton of lobbying in favor of the meas
ure Gin violation of law" This was
followed by a similar attack by Mime
sofas Rep. Knutson on Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace.
| Blacks crime" is that he is ask
| ing farmers to do some thinking for
themselves = and to follow up that
thinking with action. He knows that
the farmer has never gotten any
where by pussyfooting, and never
will. Reeds sniping isn't worrying
Black in the least.
Reeds thinking apparatus, as Judged
by his voting record, isn't much in
fluenced by the plight of either the
farmer or the worker. During the
last session he voted against the farm
Appropriation bill, which was q test
vote on sentiment for surplus COM
modities and parity payments. In each
of the last three sessions, his votes
were cast against all major farm bills.
His labor record Is no better. The
anti-farm and anti-labor Hobbies con-
slider him one of their one hundred
percenters.
The farm debt adjustment bill,
port, has the reactionaries between
the devil and the deep blue sea. If it
passes, it will be feather in the hat
of the administration; If it fails Of
passage, it will afford the new deal
with powerful campaign issue. And,
in any event, vote on the bill puts
its opponents ION the spot"

dent in a frank, informal discussion
on matters of Administration policy,
both foreign and domestic.
The administration Is said to feel
that a vigorous campaign of misrepre-
sentation as to its attitude towards
possible involvement Of this country
in the Europeon war has been con-
Quoted during recent months, partic-
llarly among the youth. Suggestion
for the conference, however, is de-
clared to have come from certain
youth leaders. Il
Hiding Behind Farmers Skirts
Gamers, professors and packers are 4
about to recognize their poor "rela- s

wives will brush elbows. b
