Price Control Problems
En|iven Initiation Threat
Three Distinct Groups Hold Up Definite
Action; U. S. Farm Bloc Is Often Con-
fused With Farmers Organizations.
By BAUKHAGE
National Farm and Home Hour Commentator.

NNU Service, 1343 H Street, NV,
Washington, d. G.
There are three distinct groups in
Washington all pulling in different
directions at price control legisla-
ton. There is a group which be-
lieves with Bernard Baruch that a
ceiling must be put on all prices and
wages. There is group. represent
ed by Leon Henderson, price con-
troll administrator, which believes
that only those prices which show
signs Of getting out Of hand should
be controlled. There is a third
group in congress which simply re-
fuses to take any action. These lat
ter are the ones who are RESPONSE
BILE for delaying consideration Of the
present bill which is widely criticized
by many in all three groups.
The result of these conflicting
groups is a growing fear that inf1a-
ton which cannot be checked will
be upon US before we know it.
For while it was thought that
the administration might follow
Canada's plan Of price control
which is soon to be put into effect.
First, Canada tried a piece-meal
method, similar in some respects
to Mr.. Henderson's ideas. Then, in
asmuch as this did not work salts
factorily, ceilings" on both prices
and wages were written into a new
plan which more nearly resembles
that supported by Mr.. Baruch's fol-
lowers.
Details of Britain's price control
policy were recently reported by Of
ficials here and they reveal some
interesting theories of particular in
terest now. This policy may explain
why it is being said that some peo-
pie in Washington believe "a little
imitation is a good thing" in spite of
the dire warnings as to what will
happen if price rises are not
checked Immediately.
British Bidding System
The British, it seems, have come
to the conclusion that freezing prices
and wages and profits just do not 60
hand-in-hand with a maximum war
effort in democracy. They say
frankly. "You have to bid for a
maximum war effort" In other
words, you have to permit the work.

to give the farmer higher prices,

profit. if you expect a maximum eff

posed Of members Of congress, but
many people when they use the
word include the farm organizations
which maintain their offices in
Washington. The Grange, the Farm
Bureau Federation and the Farm
ers Union. Like the United States
Chamber of Commerce, the Con-
gress Of Industrial Organization
and the American Federation of
Labor, the agricultural organiza-
tons are pressure groups-lobbies,
if you will.
Bloc and Politics
There is a reason why the bloc
can, and sometimes is, more likely
to be an evil force than the organi-
cation. The bloc composed of poll
ticians who must have votes at the
next election try to out-promise
their political opponents. Therefore,
they will promise to vote for special
legislation and even vote for it as
it is brought up. But sometimes
their real purpose is not to get
certain law passed but rather to
promise it and work for it until they
themselves are elected.
The need for the farm organiza-
tons did not appear at the begin
ming Of the nation. When represen-
tation in congress was established
on a geographical basis this was an
agricultural nation. Each farm was
a unit which to a large extent rep
resented cross-section Of the ma
tons economic activity and inter-
est.
Then conditions changed, cities
and industrial centers grew up
whose problems were entirely diff
ferent from the economic interests
of the farmer. At first the result
was rebellion-small revolts but sig
nificant ones; the Whiskey rebel
lion, Shays' rebellion, attempts by
force to obtain recognition of the
rights of special groups. Finally,
the farm organizations came into
being. At first their chief objective
was to obtain public school and agri-
cultural education.
This movement was the beginning
of the department of agriculture,
the land grant colleges, the state ag-
ricultural institutions. Gradually,
these organizations began to give
more and more time to promoting
the farmers interests by obtaining
state and federal legislation for his
benefit.
Of course, some of the methods of
these groups can be anti-democrat-
ic. We frequently hear more about
them than about the honest effort,
and sometimes not until much harm
has been done. That is why Secre-

Supplies To Russia

The importance of maintaining the Russian front
against Hitler cannot be overestmated; it is the
hope of shortening the duration of the war;
The problem that confrOnts Russia involves sup
plies. German advances have undoubtedly crippled
Soviet industrial capacity, which fewer planes

industrial capacity of Germany and occupied Europe,
the Russian position would be hopeless except for the
efforts of Great Britain and the United States to make
good as far as possible the lost industrial output.
While there are production troubles in Great Brit
ain and the United States, the greatest difficulty in
supplying the Red Army involves transportation which
includes ships and seaports Despite her vast area,
Russia short of disable harbors Most of her coast
line is north of the Arctic Circle, where much of the
sea is ice-bound most of the year.
The hope of delivering sufficient goods to preserve
the Russian front depends upon three seapors despite

from the port to the interior must be protected.

Farm Boo
And Imitation

In the next few weeks you are
going to hear some unpleasant things
about the farmer. He is going to
be blamed, whether justly or not,
for encouraging imitation by refus-
ing to allow farm prices to be
curbed sufficiently to hold off infla-
ton. In this connection you are GO
ing to hear the term farm bloc"
applied to all the interests working
rightly or wrongly for the farmer.
This inclusive use of the phrase
is incorrect. A bloc, according to
the dictionary, is:

with turpentine to thin paint, to
each gallon of which is added a
pint of hard drying, light enamel
varnish to promote adhesion.
Several coats of this extra-thin

to peel from glass.
Spread the paint on rapidly and
evenly, allowing plenty of time for

A: Since plaster will not adhere to
a smooth surface, it will be necessary
to affix metal or wood lath to the
panels or install base of plaster
or insulating board. Plaster does not
stick to a surface but is secured by
penetration of the openings in the
lath or board foundation, hardening
there to form a firm bond.
Apply the first coat with sufficient
pressure to force the plaster between
and behind the base opening.
