Story Of First Rebel

William A. Miller Tells
OF Col. james Smiths
Career on Frontier

The career of Col. James Smith,
~irst rebel Of the American Rev.
Srution," was outlined yesterday at
a Washington Birthday meeting Of
the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton by William Alexander Miller,
retired Library Of Congress execu-
tive and descendant of Maryland
and Pennsylvania frontiersmen.
Col. Smith settled on the Conoco-
cheague River "a tributary of the
Potomac, and became leader Of
pioneers who objected, Mr.. Miller
said, to the profitable trade in
scalping knives, tomahawks, mus
kets, powder and lead which certain
British-supported merchants we're
conducting with the Indians.
In his youth Col. Smith was one
of the frontiersmen who accom-
panied British Gen. Braddock on
his Inflated campaign against a
French and Indian stronghold In
Pennsylvania.
Settled in Maryland.
When he left he settled in Mary
land, where the whites were being
slaughtered or driven from their
homes by bands of marauding
savages armed with weapons OBJ
tained from merchants protected
by the British troops.
He organized the "Conococheague
Black-Face Boys" fighting group
of frontiersmen who blacked their
faces with charcoal and wore In
dian clothing and moccasins.
The British had sent a detach-
ment of the famous Black Watch
regiment to Fort Loudon in Penn
sylvania, Mr.. Miller said, to protect
the important trade route.
Several hundred of the Black
Face Boys" forced the garrison to
run up white flag, and the Black
Watch guardsmen marched out be-
tween the long rifles of the from
tiersmen.
Col Smith set fire to bales of
trade goods with his flint and steel,
and saw large stores of blankets,
knives, tomahawks, muskets and
ammunition ruined by the flames .
The early Americans, he said. had
adopted this means of preventing
the scalping or murder of their
wives and children.
This occurred, Mr. Miller said,
several years before the Boston
tea party.
Raided British Outposts.
When the Revolutionary War
broke out. Mr.. Miller continued. Col.
Smith gathered a group of frontiers
men and raided British outposts
Refused in his offer to organize his
own regiment. the rugged individual
st lost interest in the war and moved
South to spend the rest Of his life

generally speaking, as it had been
for a hundred years. The Triple A
policy was planned to preserve that
pattern and fill the empty corners in
the mould By artificial means. When
say the pattern was preserved, I
mean that all the Triple A wanted
to do was to cut down production to
the point where demand and supply
approximately balanced. "The pol
icy of the congress as stated in the

restore to American farm products,

But now a new pattern has been
drawn. 1t is based on the belief
that the major foreign markets are
gone for good-or at least for so
long that they cannot be reckoned
on any longer. Some farmers will
just have to face the fact that they
must make permanent shifts in their
crops.

der to fight fire with fire. The job
will be to scrap them all when the
trouble is over.
But in the real sense we are not
at war. No Americans under the
American flag are shooting anybody
under any other flag. And that is
something. And a high official of
the United States government has
made it clear that that was what
the President had in mind when he
said that he had never considered
using American warships to convoy
supplies through the war zone to
Great Britain. 1t has been pre-
dicted frequently that conveys would
be our next step. Well, this official
explained that the reason the adj
ministration was against the use of
conveys was because when a con-
voy gets into the war zone there is
likely to be shooting and shooting
comes awfully close to war;"
Statements Significance.
It seemed to me significant that
this statement was made on the
same day that former Ambassador
Joseph Kennedy, testifying before
the foreign affairs committee on the
lease-lend bill, said almost the same
thing in other words. 1t almost
looked as if the two spokesman had
gotten together beforehand.
That was the same day, as some
Of you may remember, that had
said earlier on the Farm and Home
hour that I could find no indication
in Washington that any steps were
being taken to get us into the war.
My observation was a coincidence.
Perhaps the conjunction Of the 9TH
er remarks was, too.
To the men who were in France
in the last war, we will still be at
peace as long as we are not shoot
ing anybody.

WASHINGTON.-A new and revo-
lutionary farm program for Amer
lea is in the works. If it is carried
out according to the wishes of the
administration, 1t will mean the first
step in an effort to change the whole
pattern Of farming in this country
as we have accepted it for the last
century.
When this column is in print the
new bill may be made public. At
this writing even its outline has not
been announced. But a careful re-
view of discussions in highly inf1u-
entail government circles justifies
three predictions:
ID That the new bill will revolu-
tionize New Deal farm policy and
will have for its goal a.
60 Vastly greater curtailment Of
production of surplus products,
and
CD Complete change in type OF

farmers.
What is behind the change in pol
icy is this: the last die-hards who
believed that any American farm
program should take for granted a
return to normal world trade.
have thrown up the sponge. There
Is at long last a majority agree
ment in the department Of agricul-
ture that, American farming must
follow new pattern-one that calls
for no subsidy for lost export mar
kets of the past, no attempt to nurse
along SURPRISES on the assumption
that the same foreign markets on
which we once counted would be
again available.
Original Purpose.
Roughly, the original purpose Of
the agricultural adjustment legisla-
ton was to secure reduction Of GER
tain crops and with the payments
provide livelihood for thousands Of
farmers who had lost their markets.
Later conservation was emphasized;
but the theory behind the subsidies
was also to permit the farmer who
formerly depended on the foreign
market to keep his plant going. to
keep him "tooled"-to keep, for ex-
ample, a wheat farmer a wheat
farmer against the day when the
foreign market was restored.
By 1888 when the Triple A was
started foreign markets had pretty
well melted but the pattern Of Amer
lean farming itself was the same.

states that he his life in the that the nation
might be preserved unit. Today with the amount
OF feeling against deng the institutions handed down
from the early years. when human liberty seems to be
at stake, when freedom lies the altar of sacrifice
then indeed do need to reflect upon the faith of the
man Lincoln. Lincoln torn apart within himself
by war, his spirit for peace while he watched

wthstood the abuse and that heaped upon

Such traits found in Lincoln would be helpful traits

the other things wl4ch formerly
made up our farm export trade.
Still a Possibility.
OF course, the administration does
not say, there will never again be
any foreign market whatever for
farm products" But the new policy
refuses to take for granted that such
outlets will ever return to what we
have always insisted on calling
normal"
This viewpoint represents a strug-
gle between those who fought to the
end with hope as their chief sup
port. The last light went out when
the Hull reciprocal trade program
collapsed in the face of war. Now
agreement has been reached that
the old plan must be scrapped and
that America must build new mar
ket for the farmer based on the
theory that in war or peace the
trend is strongly away from a pos
sible profitable export trade.
1t might be said here, however,
that the producers of meats and
fruits and vegetables are going to
benefit by the immediate situation
at least temporarily when the con-
tents of the newly filed pay enve-
lopes of the defense industries will
be exchanged for these products in
home consumption.
But wide disparity of prices is
due between these products and cot
ton, wheat, corn and tobacco. The
latter staples are among those
which the administration believes
must be curtailed under the new
Dlan-
