Farmer Burns Wheat
To Avoid Quota Penalty

JACKSON, Mich, July II LP).-
Shock by shock, a Jackson County
farmer, rebelling against what he
terms is too much Government
dictatorship on crops" is burning
his 17-acre wheatfield.
The irate farmer. 55-year-old
Marion HIATT. began destroying the
wheat yesterday when Halbert Bern
stein, United States Soil Conserva-
ton Service official, refused him
a wheat-marketing permit because
he exceeded the A. A. A. quota by
two acres.
Told that he would have to store
the grain or pay the Government a
penalty of 49 cents bushel for the
excess acreage before permit would
be issued, Mr.. HIATT retorted:
III burn the whole thing before
III let the Government tell me what
] can do with it."
Rain intervened when Mr.. HIATT
had the job half-done. but he said
he would finish it up" today.
This is my farm and my wheat"
he said Il DID not vote to come
under the marketing quota and I'd
rather burn the wheat than have to
come under the quota to be able to
sell it"
He's burning up his own money, "
said Mr. Bernstein, "and it's not
the Government that set up the
regulations. The marketing quota
was voted by 80 per cent of the
Nations wheat growers.

BALTIMORE, July 12.-Federal
agents sought today to determine
the reasons behind the refusal of
the crew of the Danish freighter
Laura Maersk to take the ship out

One question the F. B. I. was ex-

The investigation was begun
when the crew, without warn

persuade the Danes to man the ship.
Previously the seamen had ex-
pressed complete willingness to man

CHURCHILL SPEAKS WITH
THE VOICE OF ROOSEVELT

Prime Minister Winston ChurchllFS
psychology was inordinately bad when
he addressed the British house of COM
mons with a plea to citizens of the United
States to wake up and bring lend-lease
and defense production to peak III tins
country.
Not that the prime minister was not
one hundred per cent right in advising
full defense production and an end to
delays and recTiminations. To the Amer
lean ear, the implied criticism inherent
in ChurchilIS plea comes badly from
nation which has already received more
help than anyone here would have agreed
to three years ago.
Before anyone becomes too angry with
Mr.. Churchill. however, it should be we'll
to examine the background of his re-
marks. and of other recent remarks in
the same direction from himself and
others high in the government Of Great
Britain. The results Of such an eNamina-
tion are startling.
1t is evident that Mr.. Churchill speaks
with the thoughts. if not the voice, of
President Roosevelt. He says things Mr..
Roosevelt, the American politician. can
not yet afford to say to his own people,
but which his actions have demonstrated
for some time that he believes.
All this is particularly evident when
you consider that Mr. Churchill, in all
his pronouncements relating to anything
American, was the soul of propriety and
the acme Of caution until one day last
month. On that day he met President
Roosevelt at sea, and the two discussed
many things. Among them, undoubted-
ly, was the American public reaction to
the European war. Since then, Mr..
Churchill's public pronouncements con-
cerning America have been far, far less
cautious. But, more striking still, they
have been in sense mere combinations
or extensions Of remarks Mr.. Roosevelt
himself has made from time to time.
Mr.. Roosevelt, for instance, has more
than once bemoaned what he terms the
lethargy of the American public. DeceiV-
ed by its calmness, the President has de-
clared that the public is asleep. What IS
Mr.. ChurchilPs statement but an eXten-
sion of that theme?
All this is not to indicate disagree
ment with the broader program of either
Mr. Churchill or Mr.. Roosevelt. They
are, we believe, thoroughly correct in
their evaluation of the international pic
ture.
But Mr. Roosevelt has made terrible
mistake in trying to use peacetime politi-
cal methods to obtain greater public ef-
fort in a wartime crisis, and Mr. Chur-
chill has, through ignorance Of the Amer
lean people and blind acceptance of Mr.
Roosevelt's word, fallen into the same
error.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-09-10
CAMPAIGN METHODS
WON'T SUFFICE NOW

The President was so successful for
several years at winning votes and OBJ
tanning majority public support for his
peacetime projects that he believes the
same methods will suffice now to awaken
the whole country to greater effort Con-
sequently he depends upon oratory in
stead of facts to convince the nation that
he is right. He tells the people that
'this is a time of grave crisis" but he
does not tell them why. He tells them
the conclusions he has reached, but not
how he has reached those conclusions.
The result, quite naturally, is that
there remain many who mistrust not only
his motives but his ability. For ourselves
we are not among that number. For the
most part we agree with his conclusions
and methods in the international theater
We regard it as tragic, however, that he
had not made it clear to the people in
the briefest, most concise form possible
why he has embarked upon his policies.
In time of crisis the American people
want truth, not oratory.
