Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
last night opposed a provision of
pending price control legislation
which would permit prices Of some
farm products to go higher than
ITO per cent Of parity"
He said in radio talk over the
National Radio Forum of The Eve
ming Star that such proposal would
make price control ineffective" and
that agriculture stood to lose "a lot
of good will If the people get the
idea that farmers are insisting on
too much"
TT has taken us a long time to
sell the country on the idea Of
equality for the farmer" he said.
Lets keep it sold"
In reporting a price control bill
late Saturday the House Banking
Committee included three-way
formula for commodity prices. The
ceiling would be the highest Of three
levels: ITO per cent of parity, the
average price from 1919 to 1929,
and the prevailing level last Oc-
tober.
PARTY means, generally speak
ing, the same purchasing po,oer
farmers enjoyed in the 1909-191l
pertod.)
Secretary Wickard said he thought
most farmers favored the principle
of the original price control bill and
that most who were familiar with
the subject thought q price ceiling
at 10 per cent Of parity took care
Of farmers pretty we'll"
He said the chief worry Of farmers
just now is not farm prices today
but farm prices tomorrow.
They want to produce" he said,
but they know what surpluses did
to their prices and income in the
past. They are wondering what will
happen after the defense effort is
| over"
The Secretary said American
farmers had 4 great responsibility
ahead Of them, not only to provide
food for this country, but for Britain
I'VE simply can't afford to fall"
he said.

In another Of the local appear

much pleasure, the President yester-

of Dutchess County educators in
the new Roosevelt High School. TAX
ing occasion once again to express
his distaste for the current fashion
of totalitarianism and his conn.,
dence that democracy will outlive
any threat against it.
Contrasts Systems.
Referring to the contrast between
democracy and totalitarianism, the
President added:
Il don't think we are ever COM
ing to this new order of the world
in this country, and I hope very
much that the rest Of the world
won't oe forced into it, because
this country of ours would
become little oasis, where all the
old things were still going on but
were being pressed on all sides by
this so-called new order world"
Mr.. Roosevelt told his audience
that he believes it essential that
the education system should keep
pace with the demands of modern
civilization as one Of the greatest
instruments of democratic defense.
" I think we Americans are proud
of this system OF life of ours" he
said. 1T is system that has been
Observation-Disclosures by those
people who would impose a new and
different system"
Laughingly the President con-
cluded his speech by suggesting
that when he came back to Dutch
ess County to live-which he said
would be very soon"-that the
county neighbors should tell him
to go way back and sit down" II
and when he tried to reform them
in a manner contrary to the delib-
crate workings of the democratic

Sinking 81 British SUB

last Friday. when the number Of
enlisted men survivors was placed
tentatively at A.
The Reuben James was on convoy
duty when she was torpedoed, and
that fact at first gave rise to hopes
that the casualties might not be
heavy. It was thought then that
many of the men might have been
picked up by other ships in the
convoy, but that their rescue had
not been reported because the ships
were observing radio silence in
U-boat infested waters. Many
times in the past survivors of sink
ings have been listed as missing for
several days until the ship rescuing
them reached the safety of port.
The whole tenor of the Nays
announcement, however, was calcu-
lated to dash such hopes IN this
case. 1t was considered significant
that the communique listed only
one more survivor than the number
given last Friday in the preliminary
report Of the torpedoing. More
over, the fact that casualties had
been reported in detail apparently
was evidence that the need for
radio silence had ended, so far as
this particular convoy was con-
cerned.
The Robin Moor was the first
American-f1ag merchantmen to be
sunk by a German submarine in the
present war Although no lives were
lost-the passengers and crew men,
bers were rescued after weeks at
sea in open lifeboats-the sinking
was one of the incidents that
brought about the shoot t-on sight"
policy in mid-September for the
Navy vessels patroling American de-
fensive waters
The State Department said that
the United States had asked 81 967, :
092 in damages for the loss of the
Robin Moor, II payment were made
in 80 days.
This request was transmitted to
German Charges dAffaires, Hans
Thomson. on September 10. Earlier
he had been given a copy Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's special message to
Congress on the Robin Moor sinking
to forward to his government. but
said he was not lin a position"
to pass 1t on. In his message Mr..
Roosevelt charged the Nazi leaders
with piracy and ruthless terrorism
in their U-boat tactics.
Further Action In Doubt.
Mr.. Thomson, the State Depart
ment revealed, sent the State De-
partment an answer on September
26. saving that "the two communi-
cations made are not such as to
lead to an appropriate reply by my
Government"
The State Department did not
indicate what further action. If any
was contemplated in the case.

Great Britain will be built under
