FINE THING, THIS FINE

To sell legitimately, Farmer Friend
must pay a penalty on this 125
bushels of surplus wheat he grew
on the 25 surplus acres, and that
penalty amounts to one-half the
national loan rate average of SO
cents buShel, or 40 cents a bush
ell. For l25 acres this would be $51 25,
which is pretty steep fine to pay
for growing too much wheat, in
anybody'S court.
Supposing the farmer decides to
outsmart EN- by feeding this eX-
cess wheat to his stock. That's all
right, says the government, as Ions
as he doesn't sell the stock. But if
he is selling the stock, il would
be illegal for him to feed his own
hogs with surplus wheat grown on
his own surplus acres.
From this last point it might be
concluded logically that the farmer
could grind his own wheat into
flour for his own wife to bake into
his own bread to feed to his OWL
chiidren-proyided he didn't intend
to sell the children.
Anyway, the forging is offered
as evidence of why one farmer in
Michigan burned his whole crop.
That was, perhaps, the easiest So
luton to the whole matter.

BUT II DOESN'T WORK

(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)
1t is the theory of the farm law that
farmers, in return for government-guar-
anteed prices, should adjust the supply
to needs says R. NJ. Evans, AAA admin
isrator, in speaking of the revolt against
the wheat penalty.
This should take first prize as the most
naive remark of the year.
When the farmers fail to plant as large
acreage as possible of favored and So
called staple" crops because a big price
IS guaranteed, water will begin to run
up hill salaried employees will turn down
pay increases, merchants will sell every
thing at loss and Gabriel will start
footing his horn.
Guaranteeing a high price for wheat
IS the surest way of increasing the acre
age. Wheat acreage has steadily increas-
ed under AAA crop control" Mr.. Evans
will please go to the foot of the class.

The More Horrible Thinq

The japanese minister to Aus
tralia must, somewhere, have re-
ceiVed a thorough education in the
curious mental processes that pass
for thinking in Nazidom. Queried
on japanese ambitions, Tatsuo Ka-
wal replied that he disliked the word
drive which Americans persisted
in applying to that impetus which
has sent the japanese legions into
Manchuria, North China, Coastal
China, and Indo-China That word,
so popular with Americans, isn't
applicable to the japanese situation,
he said.
Further, he was slightly annoyed
by question as to whether Japan
contemplated territorial expansion
toward the Netherlands Indies. Ter
ritorial expansion is an old-fashion-
ed phrase, he objected.
Well, 50 it is. 1t has, at least, the
virtue of being clear and well un-
derstood. In the 18th century, when
every major nation in the world
was grabbing OF every Dit of weakly
defended territory it could find ly-
ing around loose everybody knew
what territorial expansion meant
1t meant that somebody's real e5-
tate had been grabbed by some
body stronger and that thereafter
it belonged to the winner. That vas
that.
1t was a crude business, and it
was a crude phrase that was used
To describe it. But it had at leasl
a certain straightforward honesty
Not so much can be said of tha
terms used to describe the same
thing these days. The fashion has
arisen, and an attempt Is being
made TO foist it on the whole world,
to Go the same thing but to call il
equitable adjustment of frontiers,
or establishment OF co-prosperity
Spheres or setting up of a new
order" or taking o3er me duty of
protecting" or simply "co-ordina-
ton"
All such pharses are less accurate
as well as less honest than old
fashioned territorial expansion. The
distinction in fact is without meas
urable difference.
If one were to try TO measure that
slight difference, it would lie in rub.
