Embargo On

rapidly and only small amount is
now available.
Although in Minneapolis and ST.
Paul there is small amount of public
storage space still available for some
grains, In the opinion of the COM
mittee this space is needed to handle
the current daily movement of grains
In and out of the markets In any
event, neither the markets at the head
of the lakes, nor Minneapolis and st.
Paul, are in any position to receive
the impact of heavy movement of
new crop grain for permanent storage.
1t is hoped that taking the step that
has been taken will avert the
almost complete paralysis of grain
handling facilities in these terminal
markets that surely would follow If
grain were permitted to come into
terminals in unrestricted volume when
the new crop starts moving. The COM
mittee believes that a very large
amount of country elevator space and
farm storage has been made available
by the very heavy movement of grain
The people's voice., 1941-07-30

from the country to terminals during
recent weeks and that this space and
such new storage as has been con-
structed in the country this summer
should be utilized to the fullest pos
sible extent while the new crop is
being harvested rather than have
large amounts of grain move into the
terminals for which it appears certain
now that space will not be available.
Shipments of grain and grain products
out of the terminal markets into con-
suming channels normally are of sub
stantial volume and, of course, as
these commodities move out 1t may
be possible to modify the terms of
the embargo and this will be done
when conditions warrant
Albert K Kruse, commissioner of
agriculture for Montana In discussing
the embargo, stressed that 1t does
not restrict the shipment of free grain
to the terminal markets for immedi-
ate sale, but available storage space
at the terminal markets must be
shown by the shipper or his shipment
will not be accepted. These restric-
tions, Kruse added, were necessary to
avoid having cars Of grain tied up at
the terminals with no place to unload
them.
Commissioner Kruse again warned
wheat growers that II they do not
have available permanent storage
space either on their farms or at local
elevators, they should Immediately get
in touch with their local county agent
or the extension service for advice on
the latest emergency method of stor-
age The extension service informed
Mr.. Kruse that an authorized agent
of the service would speak over the
radio in few days and give detailed
advice on construction of such emer-
gency storage space, and that this de-
tailed information would be made
available in other ways.
Farmers cannot take a chance on
being able to move such grain as they
do not have storage space for in two
or three weeks" Mr. Kruse said "It
may be months before the elevators
and terminals may be able to handle
it and they should do everything pos
sible to avoid loss"

co-operatives in Maitland have beer
taken over and are being run by and
for the government-that is, Hitler
rather than by and for their members
Farmers have become the slaves OF
Hitler, producing for the army and
only getting enough food for them
selves to barely exist.
"Co-operatives in this country are
still very much alive and ready to
do their part in meeting the threat to
the democracy from which they take
their strength" he declared. For
example, when Martin Paulson, like
farmers throughout the corn belt, de-
cided to answer the call for more
pork to help the British fight back
that tide of intolerance, greed and
ruthlessness, he found his cooperative
production credit association fully
awake to the situation and glad to
lend him the money he needed. And
responsible farmers in other parts Of
the country are UOIIOWluS lIOIu IueSS
associations to buy feed supplements
for their dairy COWS so that milk pro-
duction will not follow the normal
seasonal decline as pastures dry up.
Farmers and their co-operatives are
answering the call of the British for
need of large quantities of cheese,
evaporated and dried milk, eggs and
such vegetables as beans and canned
tomatoes And answer it we must if
we intend to do our part in halting
the struggle before it engulfs our
own democracy, our own liberties, our
own homes, our own families.
Taking the country as whole,
this is one of those years that farmers
hope for and seldom realize" Arnold
reminded, with few exceptions,
both crop yields and prices are gen
orally favorable Many farmers will
have a better opportunity this year
than they have had in long time to
get their debts in shape and lay aside
something as reserve-possibly in
the form of defense bonds. This is
good business and good national de-
fense," he concluded.

rights But, this year, instead of the
usual time for marketing, the grain
will be sold gradually, month after
month, and it Is estimated by our best
grain men that the marketing of the
1941 crop will continue over eleven
months. That is taking the hump Of
the fatal fall rush out of the market.
1t is orderly marketing, by which in

profit the farmer. But the produce

Bv JOHN STAHLBERG

Like the WPA as a whole, the ecu
turap projects were launched wit
fanfares of idealistic propaganda. Tn
managers of the vast enterprise no
lonly accepted the obligation to pro
vide Jobs, without bias or coercion, TO
those who needed them, but promised
the nation its moneys worth, th'
best work that could be done. The
Writers Project, which was typical o
the group, was specifically pledged
| % to employ needy and qualified
writer's and editors, and preserve ant
improve their skills; (2) to introduce
America to Americans" by producing
books of literary distinction attrac
lively presenting sound and complete
information about the nation and its
parts.
1t was, when you stop and reflect
on the terms and the facts, whop
ping assignment. 1t was indeed SC
big that there was never any chance
of its full accomplishment except by
combination of unusual talent and
unresting devotion to the job.
The machinery was set up, with
central controls In Washington, ID. c.;
and late in 1895 1t began to grind out
culture by the millions of words. But
the Writer'S Project was handicapped,
especially In the western states. In
the first place, the wide open spaces
are not precisely alive with literary
people. OF the writer's we have who
amount to a hill of beans, few were
ever employed by the project, and
these few left 1t In disappointment
and disgust, or because other employ
ment claimed their time. The first
state director, Professor Harold Mer-
riam of Montana University, whose in
sight into literary and editorial prob
lens is unequaled in this region, left
early in the summer of 1886. Grace
Stone Coates, another writer of genu-
inc distinction, parted company with
the project at about the same time.
Archie Clark and Richard Lake took
private employment. By the end of
the first year, the only people remain
ing on the project who cared a tink-
er's hosanna about writing as serious
work were Director Horace Chad
bourne and a self-educated laborer
preoccupied with learning whatever
the organization could teach him.
Chadbourne had too much sym
pathy with the aims of honest writer's
and too little with those of racketeers.
Early in 1887 he was discovered to be
"antagonistic" shortly thereafter he
was eased out in the name of "har-
mony" This trick was then and re-
mains today Joe Parker's masterpiece.
Its technique is flawless; its ritual
hardly varies. If you are employed
by WPA but do not "catch on" in
regard to unofficial requirements, Joe
looks about for a better prospect.
Usually he does not have to look far.
Thereupon he finds you dangerous to
WPA's internal harmony How?
That's duck soup for Joe! He simply
walks up to you and spits in your
eye, If you resent this handsome
gesture, you are antagonistic.
Prejudiced people might think that
a strange way to win friends and in
fluence Studebaker sales. That only
proves how easy it is to take the
wrong point of view. The thing to

If a shortage of aluminium ex-
