Farm Security Loans
Beinq Repaid in Advance

More than a third of the money
loaned by the Farm Security Ad-
ministration during its seven years
of rehabilitating needy farm fami-
lies has been repaid, although a
large part of the loans are not
yet due, Agriculture Secretary
Wickard reported today.
Citing figures furnished by c. B.
Baldwin, F. S. A. administrator,
Mr.. Wickard said that upward Of
$4,000 of the 100000 farm families
who have participated in the pro-
gram have repaid nearly $780,
100000 of the approximately $570,-
| 100000 borrowed. And he added
that the F. S. A. estimates that
at least. 80 per cent of the total
amount will be repaid eventually.
The Secretary declared that a
recent F. S. A. State-by-State sur
vey showed that the average family
had increased its net income by
35 per cent since first receiving
F. S. A. aid. The survey set the
average increase of the farm
families income in Maryland at
% per cent since their acceptance
of the rural rehabilitation pro-
| gram, and the average increase ir
Virginia at 81 per cent.

These young men saved Eng
land a year ago. How few they
were who saved England is not
yet realized by the many. Their
names as individuals are hardly
known. This air war is without
aces. Individual exploits have
been as sensational as any per-
formed by the Bishops, the Guy
nemers or the Richthofens Of
the last war. But 1t is breach
of form in the R. A. F. to publi-
cize any single personality. Con-
gratulate pilot on his personal
exploits and he will stiffen imme-
diately.
The R. A. F. is a voluntary
force. He who presents himself
and is accepted finds a code
imposed upon him by his COM
radeS. There are r. A. F. man.
nerS. Reticence, poise and eaSi-
ness mark them. Shooting a
line" makes one an OutcaSt.
Forms and RigiditieS Are Few.
In fighting stations, military
forms and rigiditieS are kept at
a minimum. The salute is casual,
the sir is spoken as a we'll
brought-up youth might address
an older man. NicknameS are as
universal as at a boys school.
The intelligence officer at one
station is always called spy"
The atmosphere of the fighting
station is rather that of a young
mans club. The spirit of the
squadron is not the spirit OF
company or a brigade but of
team. The men are rated among
their comrades not only for their
exploits in bringing down Ger
mans but for their sobriety IN
protecting their aircraft, for
leadership and for teamwork.
The playing fields of Eton are
in the sky and this peculiar new
nobility of Britain ride to hounds
in the heavens. Whose particular
gun brought down a particular
plane is of less consequence than
how each member Of a squadron
behaved in relation to the whole
operation. This self-selected Serv-
ice of the few comes, Interestingly
enough, almost entirely from the
middle classes. Their families
are rarely titled, rarely rich,
very seldom very. poor. They
have had advantages but few
luxuries. The probability is that
at home they live in small, de-
tached villa with one or two
servants. Nine out of 10 come
from such homes.
Little Physical Training.
Although enormous emphasis
is placed upon the discipline of
tactics and the integrated team
work of the whole operation, very
little emphasis is placed upon
bodily training in the rigid
physical sense.

collaboration suggestions of his
representative at Paris, Fernand
de Brinon, and sent him back to
bring new and more definite sug-
gestions.
The stand taken by Marshal
Petain was hailed in many quar-
ters as a victory for the demo-
cratic nations and as an indica-
tion that the marshal had some
inside information proving the
German star was on the wane.
Just the Opposite.
Reliable reports, however. say
that this is not the case. In
June a tentative agreement had
been reached between Petain and
Admiral Darlan and the German
government regarding the future
activities of the French Navy. 1t
was decided, according to these
reports. that after August IS. the
French Navy would be in suffi-
ciently good shape TO patrol the
Mediterranean sea lanes with
Italian men of war.
The Germans freed every
French sailor who had been a
prisoner of war, released large
quantities of raw materials for
use in the navy yards OF Tou-
Ion, Brest and st. Nazaire, and
furnished every facility for put
ting the French Navy in fighting
trim.
The Marine Rationale is now
ready for action. But in the
meantime Hitler demanded, as a
proof of complete French-Ger-
man collaboration. control Of
French ports in North and West
Africa, especially Dakar and
Casablanca.
This the aged head of the
French government was loath to
accept unless some definite guar
antics were given the French
Empire would remain intact. 1t
is said that at the cabinet meet
ing Saturday Ambassador de
Brinon did not have the tangible
proof of Hitler's good will.

Wickard Broadcasts
To Norwegian Farmers

Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
broadcast message by short-wave
to the German-controlled Nor
wegian farmers last night in which
he said:
1--WE in America are with
you in spirit as you carry on in the
great tradition of a free people.
With you, we are keeping alive
the faith that truth, honor and
liberty shall not vanish from the
earth. Your battle is an inspiration
to us and to free people all over
the world"
Mr.. Wickard assured the Nor
WegianS that one Of Americas OBJ
jectiveS is to supply food for "all
defenders of freedom" He spoke
over Station WRUL in Boston on
the occasion of the 69th birthday
anniversary of King Haakon of
Norway, who is in exile in London
The Secretary gave the Nor
wegians a picture of the agricul-
tural and industrial effort which
the United States is making in order
to assist the military resistance
against the Axis. He also indicated
a detailed knowledge of agrarian de-
VelopmentS in Norway since the be-
ginning of the German occupation.

The Great Game of Politics
Growing Power Of Labor Leaders Through Defense
Strikes Is Seen as q Threat

the administration Is dominated
and Congress cowed by the political
power of the labor lobbies.
Appalling Prospect.
Consider the situation If this
power should be doubled, as it un-
questionably would be If that closed
shop dream should come completely
true.
1t is a pretty appalling prospect,
but no one can deny that great
strides toward that goal have been
taken In the last few months and
that every week the new strikes
and new concessions bring 1t closer.
1t is clear that the labor bosses
have been using the national emer-
gency to push their plans. 1t is
clear, too, that they have had ad-
ministration encouragement in do
ing so. 1t was the White House
attitude which months ago blocked
the legislation that would have out
lawed defense strikes. The same
attitude prevented modification of
the Wagner Act, which hampers the
defense contractor at every turn.
Unions Have Been Helped.
Thus protected, it is not surprising
the labor leaders are squeezing every
possible advantage out of the situa-
tion. In every strike settlement the
compromise always gives the aggres-
sor something. AS the unions have
been the aggressors in every defense
strike, they have gotten all or part
of what they asked in every settle
ment.
Except in one case, every strike
settled by the Mediation Board has
been settled by forcing the employer
to yield to all or some of the labor
demands. In four months the board
has forced wage increases of more
than S100,000,000. And, in the same
period, without committing itself
to the principle, it has helped the
unions considerably toward their
closed-shop goal.
The charge has been made that
the board has become the chief in
strument for enforcement of New
Deal labor policy and that 1t has
compelled employers in several cases,
to accept N. L. r. B. rulings without
opportunity to test their validity in
court.
Labor Leaders Held Profiteers.
This may or may not be true, but
cold survey of the facts makes
these conclusions seem inescapable.
First, that the real profiteers de-
veloped by the defense program are
not the industrialists but the labor
leaders; second, that, despite their
patriotic protests, these are capi-
talizing a national crisis for their
own purposes; third, that the result
has been to add enormously to the
cost of the program in dollars and to
lose an immense amount of vitally
important time; fourth, that these
things have happened partly because
of White House coddling of labor
leaders, partly because so many of
these leaders have been placed in
key defense positions, partly because
their political link with the New
Deal is so strong that one always
supports the other.
When these things are considered
1t does not seem unfair to say that
the threat to what We so fondly
call the American system" is not all
from the outside

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Western Europe, according to
reports received during the week
end, is once more alarmed by
fears of new military operations
that might upset its present
tragic tranquility.
France, Spain and Portugal are
particularly concerned. Infor-
nation from these countries in
dicates that Hitler, undisturbed
by the check in Russia, intends to
put his fall military plans into
effect.
These consist of an intensified
collaboration" with France and
more active cooperation of Por-
tugal and Spain with the new
order" in Europe.

Vichy under Chief of State Pc
tain was inconclusive. The aged
soldier was not satisfied with the

depleted because many have been
sent to the eastern fronts But,
according to the latest reports,
there are between three and
four such units in occupied
France. Two of them are at
the Spanish-French border.
Should Hitler desire a cheap
victory and at the same time
round up his European con-
quests from the Russian border
to the Atlantic and the Medi-
terranean, march into Spain
and Portugal would not be
hazardous. Franco, in all Hkeli-
hood, would not oppose the Nazi
forces, while Portugal, unless it
receives immediate assistance
from Britain, is in no position to
resist even a token German
force.

This Changing World
New German Military Operations
In Western Europe Reported Planned

Britain intend to secure the Por-
tuguese possessions in the North
Atlantic-the Azores and Cape
Verde Islands-to safeguard their
sea routes. Although these rumors
have been officially denied-and
from the military point Of view
such operations are not feasible
noW-Berlin is reported seek
ing to take advantage of them
and occupy the west coast of
Spain and the whole of Portugal.
There have been many hints in
Madrid and Lisbon that Germany
may have to send troops to pre-
serve the independence of the
two republics.
AS far as Spain is concerned,
the German Ambassador is harp
ing on frances collaboration to
help establish the "neW order"
The Germans point out that with
the Spanish Atlantic coast in
their hands, the blockade of Eng
land would be easier, since sub
marines would have additional
bases.
Portugal, Too.
Portugal, the last connecting
link between Hitlerized Europe
and the west, seems to have
served its purpose. Berlin is
reported as wanting to cut off
that link and to start operating
in the North Atlantic from the
1berlan bases, During the fall
and winter months these are
more satisfactory for raiders
than the bases situated farther
north.
Franco is said to be more
amenable to reason" than the
Portuguese. Lisbon, following
the pressing warnings of the Ger
man Foreign Office, has sent
large forces to the Cape Verde
and Azores Islands. Thus these
possessions are now well defend
ed with excellent troops and
adequate war material. But at
the same time Portugal, which
has neither a. large army nor
arms factories, has sadly depleted
its home defenses and today
more than ever is almost power
less to meet a German attack.

Europe are estimated by military
observers at about 65O,0O0 men

On the Record
R.A. F. Is Described as KnehtIy Order
Of Reticenf, Informal and Easy Teammates

Va AAiobaAAOSB OiAS VI tAhS b. wv
est airmen in England told me:
"A good airman must be con-
stitutionally sound, completely
healthy, but he must never be
too fit. The sort Of training that
an infantryrnan gets, or the sort
given to a boxer or football
player, would spoil an airman."
The fighter of the air is en-
ployed in short, swift engage
ments, requiring terrific concen-
tration of nervous energy, rather
than prolonged endurance. Ever
so slight an edge on the nerves
seems to produce tension. Nerves
are necessary to perfect his per-
formance. The fighter OF the
air has the nerves of an acrobat,
not a soldier or mariner. 1t Is
all done with nerves, not muscle,
and among airmen there are
highly artistic types.
Three Different Kinds.
There are three commands in
the R. A. F. Each produces a
different type of airman. The
fighters for the most part are a
slender, wiry breed of finely spun
nerves.
The bombers are physically
thicker set, slower, more de-
liberate perhaps, a more re-
sponsible type. They are ham
ding more power, more costly
craft. Their shippers are re-
sponsible for more peoples lives.
The men of the coastal COM
mand are the fat boys OF the
R. A. F. In trying to find the
reason I concluded it was be-
cause they follow the usages OF
the navy and eat more, oftener.
These are the men who conduct
reconnaissance over the oceans,
bomb enemy surface craft and
submarines and act as cover for
the conveys. helping to bring in
food and the SineWs of war for
Britain'S people.
Their wives are, I must add, a
special kind of new young wom-
an. They, too, have code. That
code demands that they be happy
and keep their husbands happy
all the time. The girls are great
cocktail drinkers. They are al
ways casual. 1t Is against the
code ever to show the slightest
apprehension, ever to telephone
the airdrome to see whether their
husbands have come back from
some dangerous operation. They
must wait for his call. When
possible they live near the squad
ron stations to be with their hus-
bands at the earliest moment Of
their free time.
They Despise Nazi Flyers.
In the last war there was con-
siderable freemasonry among
the airmen of all nationalities.
A mutual admiration that trans
cended the enmities of war. There
is much less Of that in this war.
in which the air force plays an
infinitely greater role.
Most airmen with whom I
talked despise the Nazis as an
inferior enemy. They admire the
strategy and tactics of the Luft-
waite, but no individual pilots.
They are a very unboastful lot
themselves, but they say as
quite simple statement of fact
that the Nazis haven't got quits.
They say they are too rigid. They
are enormously effective when
ever no chance or accident crosses
their prescribed tactics, but rela-
lively helpless in an unforeseen
emergency. Some thoughtful ones
advance reasons for this, but that
is another story.
