In a report issued by the South
ern States Cooperative, it is point
ed out that farmers will do their
full part for national defense; they
will do 1t without stint and without
selfishness; they will do it in the
face of almost insurmountable diff
ficulties of which an acute labor
shortage on the farm already is
one, and the disparity between farm
prices and industrial prices an
other of long standing" The atti-
tude and performances of farmers,
working long hours in the poorest
paid industry in America, is in
striking contrast with industrial
labor operations, which have sell
fishly demanded tremendous wage
increases and gotten them, even
thought they sabotaged the defense
program in doing so. The position
of the farmer also is in striking
contrast with business and indus
try now enjoying an ever rising
tide of trade and profits Under
these conditions, farmers resent the
selfish and short-sighted efforts of
business trade associations to Sc
cure legislation aimed at the de-
struction of farmer owned and con-
.trolled self-helped cooperatives.
Farmers demand rightly of both
state and federal governments the
privilege to operate their business
Ia cooperative performing service
that is vitality important to their
farming enterprise a sa means of
livelihood. Those who greedily
want to operate monopoEies in the
farm supply field seek legislation
designed to prevent farmers from
protecting their interests in their
relations with highly organized
business and industry. In this issue
between farmers on the one hand
and merchants, fee dand fertilizers
manufacturers and the seed trade
on the other, farmers demand fair
play at the hands of government,
and they are, eventually. going to
have 1t lest there be state of un-
rest. Mr.. Benton laid great stress
on rising prices and endeavored to
point out that the farmers, unuer
the national situauun, will be ask
ed, if it continues for the next two
years, to produce all they can in
order to feed the people of this
country as we'll as those in starv-
ing Europe. The Nazi regime, he
said is taking the food supplies
away from the democratic govern
ments in order to carry on the war
to conquer Europe. He advised the
farmers to lay in a supply of the
commodities which they will re-
quire to carry on their work, feed

portion coming from the common
wealths.
Representative Traynor, whose
committee reported favorably on
the bill, stated that the proposal to
construct bridge or tunnel across
the Delaware River in the vicinity
of Wilmington will mesh nicely
with this vast road program.
Representative Traynor and u.
s. Senator James M. Tunnel re-
Gently introduced bills in their re-
spective branches of Congress pro-
viding for the creation of an au-
thority to supervise construction
of a crossing.
Crossing Need Is Seen
Recent published statistics -
said Representative Traynor. have
shown big gains. both in bridge and
tunnel traffic in Philadelphia and
New York areas, and the need for
a crossing in the Wilmington area
is more pressing now than ever
before"
The likelihood of Delaware
drawing from the access" roads
fund is apparent, it was pointed
out. because of the heavy military
concentration along the Delaware
River-Fort DUPONT at Delaware
City, Fort Salisbury off Milford,
and the military base at Cape Hen
lopen.
The War Department has recon-
mended four-lane roads running
from these bases to stretegic or
main highways.
Eventually flight strips may be
constructed along Delaware high
ways large enough for military and
other aircraft to land and take-off
The act, which provides for a total
outlay of 247 millions of dollars
sets aside S2.OO0.000 for the con-
struction of experimental flight
strips which were recommended by
the chief of the Air Corps. Whe-
ther one of these experimental
strips will be built in Delaware
remains to be decided.
Representative Traynor explain
ed that these strips would be To-
Gated adjacent to main highways OF

Attorney General James r. Nor
ford was reelected president of the
Delaware State Bar Association as
$50 attorneys of the state met at
Rehoboth in annual meeting last
Saturday to hear Edmund Ruffin
Beckwith of New York, chairman
OF the American Bar Associations
national defense committee, define
the duties Of lawyers in national
defense.
Mr.. Morford was reelected by
acclamation following his nomina-
ton by Daniel DePace, Whining
ton.
George G. Herring, Jr., Whining
ton, was reelected first vice presi-
dent; George Fisher, Dover, second
vice president; former u. s. Rep
resentative Robert G. Houston, of
Georgetown, third vice president; {;
Assistant u. S. District Attorney

retary, and Colonel Thomas G..
Frame. Dover, treasurer. William
Poole, Wilmington, defeated Deputy
Judge p. Warren Green, Whining
ton Municipal Court, for the post
of delegate to the American Bar
Association meeting this year in
indianapolis.
AS a member Of an organized bar
association. every attorney should
do what he can to. protect the free
dom of man that remains now only
in this nation, said Mr.. Beckwith.
Likewise it is the task of law
yers to assist men in military SER
vice which, in the speakers opin-
ion, is mot necessarily free work" !"
Men in the. armed forces, regis
tered men and members of their
families should get this aid, he said
No other organization in the nation
is making such broad contribu-
ton, he asserted.
Chief Deputy Attorney General
Clair j. Killoran, who introduced
the speaker, reported on the work
of Delaware attorneys In defense
activities, and recommended that
the present three-member com
mittee be enlarged in order to ex-
tend the program.
Chief Justice Daniel j. Layton
urged the attorneys to stick to
only the essential facts in prepar-
ing legal briefs as a means of as
sisting the courts to a concise and
clear opinion.
eAs a strong bar makes good
bench, SO usually does good brief
result in a good opinion" he de-
elared. Instead the judge often is
forced to do the work lawyers
should do in order to obtain clear
picture of the case
Chief Justice Layton recommen-
ded that lawyers present an opin-
ion along with their briefs so that
the court may accept 1t If 1t sees
fit.
In addition to Chief Justice Lay
