DOMESTIC:
Farmers Congress

ut is more than ever important to hare
a government that can act TO protect
the interests OF our farmers as tUeI as
our business men tUhen foreign trade
conditions are upset"
Thus did Franklin Roosevelt adj
dress 100000 farmers in "a states
assembled at so and 75-cent dinners
to celebrate AAA's seventh ami
versary. For the President and the
farmer, things were looking up. A
few hours before Mr.. Roosevelt
spoke, the senate finance commit
tee approved a three-year extension
of the reciprocal trade program, al
ready okayed by the house. Chair
man Pat Harrison of that commit
tee was pretty sure the measure
would pass.
Meanwhile another senate COM
mittee was even out-doing the Presi-
dent to help farmers. An appropri-
atoms subcommittee upped the
house-approved $749, SCI 900 agricul-
tural appropriations bill to 1858, 000,-
600 (the President had recommend
ed only $788, 1925, 519). Chief boost
was a $4,000, 900 fund for parity
payments. In addition, the subcom-
mittee directed that RFC should
lend $1O0,0O0,0O0 additional to farm
agencies (thus avoiding new appro-
priations) and that $60,000,000 Of
benefit payments be shifted to this
years funds from next year. This
brought the total to more than a
billion dollars.
Gloom fell over the house, which
had previously clipped some $780,
100000 from budget estimates on 10
different appropriations in the hope
of saving enough to prevent new
taxes or a boost in the national
debt. When the senate appropria-
tons committee okayed its SUBJ
committees action, and when SEN
ate leaders expressed certainty that
the big farm bill would pass, the
gloom became thicker. One saliva
ton might be to make big cuts in
relief and defense appropriations.
Another, which President Roosevelt
repeatedly discussed with congress
sional leaders, was a revival of the
new tax program.
Also in congress-:
Hatch Bill. Not sidetracked for
the farm bill, as everyone expected,
amendments to the Hatch "clean
politics" act were pushed through
the senate. Aim: Curb political ac-
tivity of 100000 state employees.

WASHINGTON.-Senator Vanden-
berg privately is very uneasy over
the unfavorable effect upon his pres
idential campaign of his clamor for
aggressive action against Japan.
He is so concerned that he sum-
moned his regional managers to
Washington for secret pow-wow.
Their advice was that he should soft
pedal the issue for two reasons:
Cd The inconsistency, to the pub
lie, of his denouncing Roosevelt's re-
peal of the arms embargo as war
move, and at the same time de-
manding a war-like policy toward
Japan; and (2) complaints by C. o.
p. leaders that Vandenberg played
into the hands of the Democrats by
diverting public attention away from
domestic affairs and focusing it on
international problems.
Republican strategists have point
ed out that the one thing the Demo-
Gratis want is to wage the campaign
on the administrators international
policies, and G. o. P. candidate
who allows them to do that would be

done his work well. Within "a hours
Moscow had invited Finnish Pre-
mier Risto Ryti and three aides to
visit the Kremlin and talk peace.
That Germany's hand was behind
all this none doubted, for Maitland
would like to have Russia at peace,
thereby making Soviet war mate
rails available to the Reich.
Up north, Scandinavia cheered;
a Russo-Finnish peace would relieve
the terrific pressure Sweden and
Norway have felt from France and
Britain on the one side, and Rus
STA and Germany on the other. The
allies had sent Finland only a smat-
tering of help, leaving friendly
Scandinavia exposed should Russia
win. But if Scandinavia worked
for peace via the dictator nations,
an early and safe peace might be
arranged.
After several days truce was re-
ported near, leaving frontiers SUBJ
stantially where they have been
pushed by fighting thus far. But
there was still good chance that
it would bog down.
British Gesture
Off to Rome went Nazi Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop
to capitalize on an Italian peeve.
Several days earlier Britain had
clamped blockade on Italian coal
imports from Germany, hailing 16
of II Duce's freighters into port.
Angered, Rome dispatched threat
ening notes.
Obviously Won Ribbentrop hoped
to win Italian sympathy against
Britain, but the Englishmen acted
too fast. Without warning, London
suddenly released all 16 Italian
freighters and won an Italian prom
Use to ship no more German coal by
sea.
Herr Won Ribbentrop, the wind
taken out of his sails, eased back
home after visits with Mussolini,
King Victor Emmanuel and-unex-
pectedly-Pope Plus XII. Observ-
ers guessed that Won Ribbentrop
heard plenty from both Mussolini
and Pope Plus about alleged Ger
man atrocities in Poland. They also
guessed, but could not be certain,
that he had urged Mussolini's medi-
alton to help end the Russo-Finnish

her girdle was an effective anti
