It is encouraging that the warden found some val

to rise above their mistakes and convince harboled

WNU Service. 134s H Street, N. W..
Washington, d. c.
Today there are hungry millions
in Belgium, France. Spain and else
where. For many people in the
world there is starvation just
around the corner.
At the same time, in the United
States. Canada, Australia, and Ar
gentina, there is a wheat surplus
for export or carry-over Of 1,l37,-
600, 00O bushels-an all-time high.
But there is little chance for many
( Of the hungry mouths to be fed by
the surfeit. That is the topsy-turvy
worlds answer to mans ancient cry
for bread!
Haltingly, gropingly. with small
hope for any answer to the surplus
problem. except 'plow it under, /"
the representative of the four
wheat powers" have met again in
Washington for the first wheat con-
ference since 1898. They examined
the question from the production
point of view, for distribution Of the
earth's abundance to the worlds
starving is a problem too compli-
Gated for any one group to solve.
1t Is quite probable that the con-
ference will have dissolved with
out taking any constructive action
by the time this appears in print.
Before long. however. it Is expected
that there will be an international
agreement on world quotas. Unwill-
ingly. perhaps, Canada. Australia,
and Argentina will be forced to
join with the United States in a
division Of such world market as
exists. I use the word forced"
purposely, for it is the big stick
labeled export subsidy" in Uncle
Sans closet which will bring the
competing nations to yield to the
American farmer his share Of the
world market. An export subsidy
would permit the American farmer
to sell his wheat regardless Of the
world price, for he is then paid the
differential by the government. This
means that as much American
wheat can be sold as the govern
ment is willing to substitute and the
market can absorb.
U. s. Subsidized Export.
Although it was not expected that
an agreement on quotas would come
out of this summers conference,
such an arrangement is assured be-
fore long for one was on the point Of
consummation when the war inter-
rupted. Why? Because. when the
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1941-07-31

United States, in 1888, subsidized
the export of a million bushels OF
wheat, Just one million bushels had
to remain unsold by the other
wheat-growing countries.
Unless, by mutual agreement, the
world market is shared, Uncle Sam
can again cut under his competitors
and make up the difference to the
American farmer out Of government
funds.
But even II an agreement on world
quotas is reached, that does not
solve the problem Of surplus wheat.
To raise prices substantially. pro-
duction will have to be cut down.
And as for the hungry consumer,
then even the faint hope Of obtain
ing his daily bread is removed.
The farmer in the United States
at the present time is able to make
up In part for the loss of foreign
markets and low prices by obtaining
government loans on his wheat crop
at higher than market prices.
Wheat Prices Higher.
According to the report of the
department Of agriculture for June,
Computed on the basis Of export
values. current prices (of wheat)
are now about 40 cents higher than
existing export price levels at
the present time market prices in
the United States are below the loan
values established for the 1941
crop"
But no government can 60 on for
ever taking the surplus wheat crop
and piling it up-there are not SUI
fcient storage facilities. On the
basis of the new crop prospects,
stocks will be increased another 200
million bushels to a quantity almost
equal to whole years domestic
needs.
And so, as you know, the depart
ment of agriculture is encouraging
the reduction of wheat acreages, en-
couraging the raising of other prod
ucts instead and establishing wheat
quotas within its own boundaries.
1t is hard enough to carry out
such policy of controlled produc-
ton and distribution in our own
country. How much more difficult
1t is to obtain such a working ar
rangement where clashing national
interests interfere! In spite Of ma
jority agreement on method among
our own farmers, some threaten to
burn their wheat rather than with
hold 1t from the market. How much
more of r--Nlem It is to roach an

Office to protest and was told that
America was treated precisely as
any other country. Mr.. Miller pro-
duced evidence that Denmark was
given a IS per cent larger quota
than the United States. I quote the
rest from Mr.. Miller's book:
The German official appeared
to be only slightly embarrassed.
He reached into his desk and
pulled out the German text Of
the identical treaty and ex-
planned that was the way things
were done nowadays.

Victory in the West
Is Real Scare Drama

The other day sat with a group
of invited cewsmen and few army
officers and watched movie called
Victory in the West" It was a
German propaganda film, showing
how the German army smashed
through the Low Countries and
France. 1t was seized as it was
being struggled into South America
to impress our southern neighbors
with German highland well it
might! The film was a wonderful
job in propaganda, photography and
'scare" drama.
The military efficiency revealed in
that picture is a partial answer to
why the rivers Of western Europe
and later Russia, usually considered
such powerful obstacles against an
advancing army, were crossed SO
easily by the Germans. The movie
showed the German advance in the
Low Countries with dramatic shots
Of engineers swimming rivers,
crossing in frail rubber boats, and
building bridges under shell fire.
The German propagandist ex-
planned:
The men were led, not by officers
using telephones and written or
ders, but by officers who lay beside
their troops In the. same dirt"
Later, an American official, famil-
lar, through long study with German
military methods. gave his explana-
ton Of German successes. He said:
'The Germans were led by trained
warriors. not one of whom ever had
q clerk or q desk"
Today in Washington there is a
quiet but persistent movement led
by General Marshall, chief Of staff,
to get rid of American officers who
have difficulty functioning without
desks, stenographers, clerks and
caddies. For a long time the gen.
eral has been working with congress
for legislation which would make it
possible to remove officers, young
or old. whose records show that
they are incompetent. Such a
measure is pending but there is
strong prejudice against it in some
circles.
