PEOPLE ARE WONDERING

the German people forcing Hitler to
the left, and did Hess leave to escape
the purge? Or was this one of his
regular contacts with the British Fas-
cist factions and was he forced down
by little hard luck such as British
planes that weren't in the know?
Why are there to be sent from
England to America two thousand
British men to be trained In this
country as ayiators? Surely England
has plenty of ground to land planes
on. Is there any reason why England
can't send ten thousand men as we'll
as two thousand to be trained and
ready to fight? What if the American
public refused to go to war for Eng
land and American aviators refused
to take action against their families
and friends? Would ten thousand
foreign aviators help the American
public change their minds?
Why are the wealthy children Of
England over here enjoying the safety
and wealth of the country while thou
sands and thousands of England's
pooI CullureH must accept munger ana
brutality on the firing line?
Why is the American Red Cross
sending shipload after shipload of
food stuffs into Spain, a Fascist ma
ton? And why is this food handed
over to the Franco clique and priests
to distribute, denying the so-called
Red or Loyalists the right to have a
share of this food? And why was the
wealth and the land of Spain put back
into the hands of the Church? And
why are the people forbidden to lease
this land and farm 1t, but must work
cheaply at day labor? And why does
Britain exchange manganese, prod
uct used in ornaments, for the fruit
crops of Spain. while the people are
in desperate need of the fruit? And
why are the oranges and olives of
Spain reaching Germany and Italy?
And why does each nation help the
other arm and get ready for war and
hen expect the common people to go
20 the front and slaughter each other,
when the ruler pulls the puppet
strings? 1t is like game of small
boys lining up tin soldiers and then
them all down to be lined
up again - only the human soldier
Doesn't get up.

1.-THE executive board of Dodge local
No. 3, representing $4,000 members
of the Dodge Plant of Detroit has
taken the position that tactics of this
kind are used in an attempt to in
timidate and terrorize labor's organi-
cations. We see no reason why
bona fide organization should submit
list of its membership to be used
at the discretion of the body which
requests It," The letter called upon
Dies to rescind his subpoena.
Mr.. Kent, in his call to unions.
asked:
Would you trust Martin Dies and
his committee with your membership
lists? Would you want Martin Dies
to take possession of any list which
included the names of militant trade
unionists, especially if they were en-
ployed in shops of such notorious an
ti-labor employers as Henry Ford?"
Mr.. Kent pointed out that the Dies
subpoena upon Michigan Insurance
Commissioner Eugene p Berry was
served at the height of the Automo-
bile workers drive to organize Ford.
More than 80 members of the TWO
served as volunteer JAW organizers
during the Ford organizing drive.
Thus, Mr.. Kent said, Dies comes
to the aid of the most hard-bitten
enemy OF organized labor, Henry Ford
I'VE believe you will recognize as
we do the danger to the entire labor
movement if such fascist-like tactics
of the Dies Committee are not chal-
lenged," Mr. Kent said. 1--WE earnest
ly call for your support in the stand
we have taken"
The letter urged unions to adopt
resolutions of protest to be sent to
their congressman and others to be
sent directly to the insurance COM
of the home states of the
union adopting them.

WAR WHY?

War, what can we do about ite
If we, the people, are to blame for
war, what shall we do about it?
Someone said: One Of the troubles
with the world today is too much pas
sive thinking without any emotional
spur. If you can get people really
passlOnately determined to have world
peace their thinking win move along
lines that will eventually get some
thing done.
That is our job To get that pas
sionate determination to have world
peace. Without that all Kellogg
BRAND peace pacts will fail.
Kathleen Norris says: Formulate
definite peace plan, world map
that will be nearest to our ideas of
equality and Justice But that Is
job for the best brains of Europe and
America and Asia They will do it,
too, if we, the people, show them we
won't stand for war.
Senator Tobey of New Hampshire,
last Sunday spoke of an organization
against this war. Mothers are organ
izing against it. Mothers all over the
world must organize against war
What can such organizations do?
They can lombard the editors who
preach war to us. lombard THEM
WITH LETTERS OF PROTEST and
threats of withdrawal of subscribers
We can lombard broadcasting sta
lions and our congressman. We can
get up petitions against war We can
If we desire make war as unpopular
subject in the daily press as obs
Gently or profanity is on the radio.
1t is against the law in every ma
ton to kill another man except in
self defense. Yet our rulers lead us
into war and command us to kill not
in self defense but to protect our
trade, our democracy, our gold per-
haps.
We must make the nations keep |
the commandment they require Of us
We can do it If we wish |
to take the trouble. Are our sons |
worth that trouble?
Not even dictator would force his |
people into war if they set their faces |
against it. He could but he wouldn't.
Why? Because there has to be moral
support. How far could Hitler go if |
his people refused to give their sup
port to his actions? Why does he
make so many speeches and pour
forth so much propaganda? To keep
up the morale of his people. Without
that he could not expect success.
THE PEOPLE MUST WITHDRAW
THAT SUPPORT.

tin that has been issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture for the past
eight years.
An order issued by Leon Hender-
son, OPACS administrator, last week
says that "the maximum prices for
secondhand machine tools are to be
computed in terms of percentages of
the prices of equivalent new machine
tools as of March 1, 1871, and not
with reference to current prices of
new machine TOOLS" A mayor of
large midwest city wants a federal
employee discharged because of Glib
eral tendencies" Emphasis that
the President has laid on speed-up
of long-range, heavy bomber produc-
ton indicates the course that the war
is soon expected to take. The chief
hope of the Allies in defeating the
nazis lies in the use of the air arm.
. Should the British East Medi-
terranean fleet be driven out into the
Indian and South Pacific oceans, it
would be cruel joke on Japan, since
it would add to her potential enemy

The CO-OPTIMIST
Of the F. u. c.. t. A.
Loan Rate Increased
Vote on the Quota
1t Works This Way
The Penalty Clause
Put 1t in the Loaf

Congress passed lin the House,
May 10, and in the Senate, May 14)
an amendment to the 1888 Farm Act
of tremendous interest to the wheat
and corn producers of the spring
wheat area. The measure is now In
the White House, awaiting the Presi-
dents signature or veto. Based on
present information from Washington,
it appears almost certain that he will
sign the bill. It's principal provision
is for federal loans on wheat, corn,
cotton, rice and tobacco, at the rate of
IS percent of the parity price. For
wheat producers, this will mean that
with the parity price now S1.14 a
bushel - they can borrow about 81
cents bushel on the grain they har-
vest this fall, provided they have
signed up on the AAA acreage allot-
ment and complied with it's terms.
But there is what the lawyers call
q contingency to this-a sort Of string
on it. The Department of Agriculture
has called for a referendum of the
wheat farmers, to be held May 81,
under which the farmers will vote
on wheat marketing quota. If two
thirds of the farmers who vote are
in favor Of the quota, then the loan
will go into effect. But If more than
one-third of the vote is "no"-there
will be no wheat loans this fall on
wheat The wheat price will go
wherever it willard 1t will go down
a-plenty If the estimated crop comes
through. Every wheat farmer who
produces 200 or more bushels, wheth-
err he has signed up with the AAA
or not, is entitled to vote. Before
that farmer can vote intelligently he
must have some idea of what the pro-
posed quota" will do for him and do
to him. The latest dope from Wash
ington gives up this picture:
Assume that the quota was voted In
by the required two-thirds. The wheat
farmer who has complied with the
AAA acreage allotment this year can
get, on all the wheat he raises ON that
acreage, a loan of IS percent of the
parity price. This loan value will
vary over the country, owing to
freight differential for each locality.
On the average, however, 1t was be
81 cents a bushel in the spring wheat |
area for No. l Northern Spring. There |
vii be variations, of course, for lower |
grades and there will be higher loan |
value for higher protein content. The
D. s. Dept. Of Agriculture has not yet |
ssued the complete schedule of prices
lit cannot until the President signs |
ind makes the bill a law. But 1t is
Known that the loan value will be
over for Winter wheat and still lower
or Durum.
In addition to the loan, the farmer
Who has signed up with the AAA acre
lge program, will get Parity and Soil |
payments. Last year
hese aggregated about IL cents a
,ushel Assume now that this farmer
lad an allotment of so acres and that /
le raised 10 bu. an acre, No. / North !
,rn Spring wheat. That would be 600 I
bushels. Figuring that the loan rate
n his locality was 81 cents bushel

asserts if you fight for democracy you

argument for dictatorship. 1t gets

BY BEN BUCKLEY

These are the most interesting days
in all the ages of mankind and they
are also the most puzzling. The rulers
of the world are as confused as to
how to bring about their desires as
the people are at a loss to know which
way to go.
Back through history we see that at
different times there have been up
risings of slaves and local revolutions
But there has never before been
world revolution In thought. 1t is true
that in the minds of the people there
is not as yet a clear picture of events,
because of the generations their
thoughts have been controlled by
those in power. Up to, you might say
the Twentieth Century, people were
controlled through bodily fear Even
the Church used force to control their
subjects. But in recent years the
ruling class has depended more upon
educating the people and keeping
them on a given line of thought, first
in the school and later in the Church
1t has proven successful up to the
present time, but of late there is
different trend of thinking and the
systems of control have been flop.
The old leadership throughout the
world is in the dog house; mistrusted
as to their intent of doing anything
beyond enslaving the people more and
as to their ability as lead
ers to be blindly followed.
There seems to be more of won
dering amongst the people; kind
OF detached thought AS far as they
are concerned they wonder what the
next move of the war lords will be.
Not that they give a damn particu-
larly, but what is Roosevelt going to
say in his broadcast to the people? |

not properly seasoned yet? And If |
they are not win they burst and go |

WHAT
ABOUT IT?
By F. x. O'BOYLE

Among the liberals we sometimes
fall in with persons who have seer
much of the world, who have played
conspicuous part in progressive
work but who never generalize. They
do not understand drift or relation
nothing has an idea beyond itself. AL
things are details, curious and enter
tanning single things complete in
themselves that lead to nothing. Such
persons do not discuss, they say moth
ing seriously instructive They SIM
ply talk.
And such persons are maddening
when they are beyond question of In
ferior powers and education. Then
they see no tapestry of human life
even from the wrong side. They are
not understanding, perplexed. They
have no landmarks to guide them to a
conclusion, no standard of judgment,
from philosophy, from religion.
To them a thing is right because
they FEEL the pleasant glow of right
eOusness; to them a thing is wrong
because they FEEL horror, anger or
uneasiness.
Apart from feelings and resent
ments conditioned by early life ex-
periences they have no values.
To them no man should exploit an
other man because of an unpleasant
feeling they experience at the word
exploit" or resentment they harbor
because Of a past personal experience
of having been cheated.
Such men are as unsteady and in
constant as are their emotions. They
cannot be fully trusted to evaluate
correctly any acts or to carry on parts
of acts In a general movement toward
an objective.
Only men of true enlargement of
mind, who have the power of viewing
many things at once as a whole and
placing each thing in the universal
evolving plan can be trusted to cor
rectly value and to see the fitness of
men, and happenings in any move
ment
The liberal movement now, here in
needs men of steady pur-
pose with intellects and wills poised
above emotion, men who can count
themselves and others as but details
in moving plan-details that may
survive or die while the plan-the re-
birth of a new democracy is in prog

he would get $582. Adding his parity
and soil conservation payments, or
$102 for 600 bu., he would get a total
of 1854
Compare him with the farmer who
does not sign up or comply. That
farmer plants 260 acres, instead of so
his allotment, if he had signed up.
He cannot borrow at 85 percent of
parity. He gets no parity or conser-
walton payments. He can sell the
wheat from go acres at market price.
Then he can take the grain from the
hot" or excess acreage-figured at
10 blu. an acre-and store it in the
manner and form provided by the
AAA and borrow go percent of the
81 cents loan value, or 58.2 cents
bushel. But If he sells the whole
crop-2600 bushels from 260 acres
he is penalized half of the loan value,
or 481a cents bushel, which is some
slice compared to the penalty under
the old law, Is cents a bushel. The
lower the price of cash wheat, the
more he would suffer and the higher
the price of cash wheat the less he
would suffer.
Nobody works harder than the
Farmers Union for increased prices
and income to farmers. But we have
consistently argued that high prices
made by federal subsidies will arouse
and a political-minded con-
gress will be worked upon to refuse
to make appropriations. Then the
present farm program will go out as
fast as wheat falls out when truck
is dumped. If, instead, we had the
Income Certificate Plan, wheat and
bread prices would be stabilized. The
cost for fair price of wheat would
be in the loaf of bread, where 1t
should be. Then we would not be
about congress appropriat-
ing the subsidy money each year to
keep up the wheat income. Under the
present loan and subsidy system, abb
sentee landlords, Main Street and
Slut case" farmers have gobbled up
the land and built up their acreage,
until they get the gravy" while the
farm has had its acreage
cut down until the small farmer can
not afford to sign up and is penalized
'or the crime of being poor and small.
