these things, and it is likely an eff
fort would be made to cushion their
effects on everyday civilian life.
However, it is not difficult to per-
ceive how the average citizen could
be affected
Luxury Cruises Would Stop.
The requisition of merchant YES
sells is one example. Only a few
years ago, before the war, both the
trans ocean and coastal ship lines
were spending great sums of money
and energy in promoting vacation
travel, particularly all = expense
cruises. Lines We'd with each other
for the luxury of their accommoda-
tions, the quality of their cuisine,
the romantic background of their
destinations.
Already the toll of ship victims
and wartime transport demands
have cut heavily into this trade, but
further transfer of passenger liners
into a grimmer business will reduce
such holiday opportunities close to
the zero level. In other words, the
man who is able to take a vacation
this summer may not be able to do
it aboard carnival craft" if we
remain under an unlimited ma
tional emergency"
Similarly, a diversion of the Ma
tons recently improved and
streamlined railroad facilities to
Juggling our new Army around could
cut seriously into train travel,
whether for business or pleasure.
Comparable curtailment might be
noted in bus or airplane travel, a
remote possibility being system OF
priorities like that used in trans
Atlantic air travel by clipper ships.
Articles Might Run Short.
While at first thought monopo-
lization of great segments of indus

seem of only indirect interest to
most of us, it doesn't take long
for a second thought to make us
realize we soon might run short OF

cleaners, bottle openers or thou

make living enjoyable.

BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Americas man in the street prob
ably will find todays war coming
close to his everyday habits under
the unlimited national emergency"
proclaimed by President Roosevelt.
Although there is some difference
of legal opinion here on the full
extent of powers implied in such a
proclamation. there is adequate
ground for belief the Presidents law
advisers have counseled him that
the formal declaration gives him
authority to take virtually any step
deemed essential short of an actual
declaration of war.
On the other hand, there is strong
belief also that Mr.. Roosevelt's mo-
tive in issuing the proclamation
was not so much an immediate in
tention to impose new constructions
upon American life as to give a
"shot in the arm" to public con-
sciousness by emphasizing the grave
circumstances prevailing in the
world One effect, for instance, is
the writing and publication of
stories such as this-making people
realize what may be in store for
them.
What He Might Do.
To reduce to personal terms the
possible effects of the Presidents
action. it is necessary first to set up
the broader background of what he
might be attempting to accomplish.
Briefly, by supplemental execu-
tive orders, Mr.. Roosevelt might do
some of the following:
Requisition American merchant
ships for operation under Govern
ment orders; direct partial or even
complete priority for transportation
of armed forces or military supplies
by the Nations railroads; impose
obligatory" orders upon manufac-
turers to the virtual exclusion of
production of so-called luxury items;
suspend private operation of radio
stations, either closing them or
bringing them under direct Govern
ment operation; suspend trading in
securities; commander fuels, such
as oil or gasoline, for Government
use to point where private con-
sumers would be rationed or per-
haps deprived entirely.
AS noted, there is little reason to
believe any plan exists to do all

AAA PAYMENT RATES
ANNOUNCED
l94l Program Based On
The Normal Yields

With the recent determination of
1941 parity payment rates, Cecil
county farmers can estimate the
amount they may earn through full
participation in the 1941 AAA farm
program, according to r. o. Stelzer,
Executive Officer of the AAA in Md.
Parity payments, based on the
normal yields on allotted acreages,
will be made at the rate of five cents
for corn and ten cents for wheat.
Farmers who participate in the
1941 AAA program and plant with
in the farm acreage allotments of
these crops are eligible to receive
payments at these rates, Mr.. Stel-
ger states.
In addition to parity payments,
cooperating farmers will receive
conservation payments based on the
normal yield of the farm acreage
allotments. AS previously ANNOUNCE
ed, conservation rates for 1941 are
eight cents for wheat and nine cents
for corn.
Farmers may also earn payments
under the Agricultural Conserva-
ton Program for carrying out ap-
proved soil-building practices up to
the maximum allowance available to
the farmer on the 1941 farm plan.
Parity payments are made to
producers of corn, wheat, cotton,
rice and tobacco to give them more
nearly a fair share of the national
income and to bring farm income
and purchasing power nearer the
1904 level. At that time, before
the World War, agriculture and in
dustry were in comparative balance.
Both conservation and parity pay
ments help farmers adjust produce
ton to meet all market needs and
to farm in such way as to main
tain and build up the fertility of the
soil, Mr.. Stelzer explains.
