Additional Funds Voted for Mechanical Divisions;
Local Congressman Urged Action One Week Ago
Especial 70 The Democrat)

washington, D. Q. May 81 -
President Roosevelts request to Con-
gress today for an additional billion
dollars 10 strengthen our defenses,
particularly mechanical forces, sup.
ports suggestions made In the house
last week by Congressman ]. Joseph
Smith uf Connecticut, A member
Of the Military Affairs committee,
MFR. Smith has distinguished himself
through recommendation for ma
tional defense, o large number OF
which are being included In the cur
rent program.
Speech In House
Speaking In the House last FRI
day MAY 2l) on Q National Defense
issue, Mr.. Smith said, II believe the
War Department should bring IN
requests for funds for additional
naturalization. We have In exist
ance one brigade OF mechanical
troops, Unfortunately, most Of our
people believe that the so.called
streamline divisions Of the Regular
Army today are mechanical divis.
ions. They are not. They are not
what Is ordinarily referred 10 In
military circles as either mechanical
or motorized divisions. They are In
fantry divisions whose transport,
which takes the place Of the horses
and the mules, Is by motor, but they
do not travel by motor, and they do
not have large percentage OF arm
ored vehicles 10 ight from.
More Mechanical Troops
II believe we should greatly In
crease the proportion OF mech
anieed trops In the Army" said Mr..
Smith last week, land I hope the
War Department will bring In a
supplemental estimate and, II ne.
cessary, request additional authori-
cation for men 10 man additional
mechanical forces. The amount, the
proportion, ard the kind Of weapons
and equipment should be for our
military men 10 decide, but II seems
70 me that ut this time we should
call upon them 10 bring In O re-
port as 10 needed equipment. II Is
possible 10 moderniSe the protec-
tive mobilization plan In view OF
the lessons OF the campaigns we
have seen In Poland, as well as the
more recent ones In Norway, Bel
gium and Holland"
For many years Congressman
Smith has been urging the Con-
gress 10 keep our defenses strong.
Early In May he stunned O meet
Ing Of the New England Council

itary needs, and his contentious
were supported subsequently by

AIDE faced the second major crisis OF
it's history.
The second grew out of the first,
That initial crisis came during the
Civil War. The North, cut oil from
AGRICULTURAL supplies OF the South,
found itself short in farm products.
The Federal Government stepped in
TO do something about it. Congress,
acting ON the recommendation Of
President Lincoln and brushing aside
story protests of the economic in
created Department
CT Agriculture.
Through research programs, that
agency helped farmers grow bet
ter crops and produce improved
livestock. 1t developed more eff
ficient production methods.
Thus aided, American agriculture
expanded and soon was reaching out
abroad for markets. This expansion
its peak during the World
War, when Europe, its farmers
to the trenches, needed
food.
Then came peace and the world

wide industrial depression. Amerl-
can farmers could not longer find a
market for all their produce. Sci
fence and technology had made farm
production power greater than It's
market Surplusses accumulated.
Prices declined and incomes OF the
farmers suffered. Producing plenty,
growers felt a cruel paradox OF want.
Thousands lost their land through
debt foreclosures. Serious farm
strikes followed.
AS in the Civil war crisis, the Fed
eral Government stepped in to try
to relieve the situation. Again eco
nomic individualists protested.
The Administration enacted crop
control laws and paid out several
hundred million dollars annually In
subsidies to farmers who cooperated
with programs designed to reduce
SURPRISES and improve prices.
1t did not stop with production
control measures, but moved into
the marketing phase as well.
Through subsidy programs it has
taken the lead in marketing pro-
ducts abroad Through relief pro-
grams, it has been buying perish
able SURPRISES and distributing them
among the city poor.
Farmers A Vassal?
The Governments efforts to meet
this crisis of overproduction has been
the subject of hot debate. Critics
contend that the administration
denies that the farmer has been
reduced to the status of vassal in
system of "socialized agriculture"
Whether the Roosevelt programs
will return agriculture to previous
levels of prosperity is a question
which the decade of 1940-50 will
have to answer.
