Mr.. Henderson jumping down the
threats of corporations but when
it hits home they see red. They
now question his authority to act.
AS previously reported here.
President Roosevelt will soon send
a message to congress on this
subject.
HOPE-Washington says that in
peacetime shortage the highest
bidder takes all. That is the law
of supply and demand. In war
the government must apportion in
adequate supplies-to prevent price
inflation-not allowing them to go
to the largest purse but to the
most necessary needs.
There isn't any doubt now that
parity" payments to farmers as
legislated by congress are high.
True the president should have
vetoed the act but he hoped con-
gress would cooperate later. Bust
ness is cooperating. there's no rea-
son why farmers should not.
Leon Henderson is doing good
work even though equity is not
shown in some instances. II is
hoped, say business circles, that
after congress blows off political
steam, it will fall in line with the
president especially since the ma
ton is at war in all ways except
contact with the enemy.
FARM IMPLEMENTS-Depart-
ment of agriculture economists
forecast that national income this
year will hit around the Ss5. 000.-
600, 900 mark, or an increase of
S11, 600, 900, 900 over 1910. They go
further and say that 1912 national
income will run TO the merry tune
of 1872 600. 900, O0O and that indus
trial production will be 40 per cent
greater than the 1929 boom high.

The 1941 farm income is estimated
at SO, 100000, 900 or gain of ST.

l. sation and il was the topic Of
most other men aboard ship. They
all talked about those coming days

a boat in mid-ocean you can't
spend the hours on and off watch
just kicking the weather around.
And down in an engineroom a
wife and home Is good thing
TO talk about, because you then
sometimes forget that when a tor
pedo strikes amidships, or a one
ton bomb lands dead in the center
OF a cargo Of high explosives, the
man deep in the engineroom does
not have a chance.
And now, after two trips across,
the Port Prince sails again in two
days. The reason Is good. of
course. In Liverpool and Bristol
and the other western ports, the
longer a boat remains in port the
greater the chance Of being sunk
at anchor. For the Germans are
persistent and they are always
coming over these nights TO blitz
the centers of seaport towns and
their docks, and II cargo ships are
being unloaded they are sometimes
sent TO the river bottom during
the hours when high explosive and
incendiary bombs are destroying
the wharf sheds and docks.
