Forty-threel Not such a big fig
ure except that Mr.. Smith left off
nine ciphers from force of habit.
Forty-three billions are the appro-
priations, authorizations and pend
ing recommendations of expenses
for the government for the fiscal
year beginning on July 1. Not all
of the things undertaken during this
time will be completed in the COM
ing fiscal year, but it is estimated
that 500, 169, 900, 600 will be the years
actual expenditures.
Another figure which Uncle Sam is
gazing upon hopefully is 9.402, 000,-
600. That's the amount that Uncle
Sam expects to collect from the fam
ily-in other words the income from
the taxation and borrowing. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
thought earlier in the year that two
thirds Of this figure would be met
through taxes and the other third
through borrowing. But with in
creased defense expenditures chang
ing the picture he is no longer sure
of this distribution of the source of
income.
And then comes the last figure
$12, 1857 100000. But why bother?

Farm, Labor Problem
Vexes u. S. Agencies

Farm labor is still problem that
is vexing government agencies as
well as the farmer.
Pressure is being brought on the
selective service system to allow
some of the boys already inducted
into the army to return home to help
with the harvest. I asked selective
service officials if any steps had
been taken in this direction. But
they told me that so far the figures
seem to indicate that it is not the
army that has robbed the farm-it
is the defense industries.
''In agricultural areas" defense
official has just told me, where
seasonal demands create a serious
situation induction may be delayed
go days. And If congress feels the
same as it seems to at this writing,
nobody % years of age and over
will be called"
That suits the selective service
system-they predict that they can
get all of the 300. 900 men they need.
Although from the first they have
felt that men % and over should be
deferred by statute, they do not
want these men removed entirely
from the lists.

REGULATION Of Farm Prices

Parity Is Goal of Agriculture Department.;

Runaway horse!"
It's a long time since I've heard

of the barber shop and the livery
stable on Main Street and send the
buggies to hugging the curb. Then
down the street he'd come. head-up,

on one wheel.
Well, you may hear that cry again
soon for there's a nervous animal
with bit in its teeth right now that

ment Of agriculture pretty worried.
It's name is farm prices" and 1t
has been pretty skittish of late.

mouth.

Legislative Teeth.
If he can't Mr.. Henderson will
take a hand and the way things
look now congress will probably
give the OPACS legislative teeth. If
that has not happened by the time
you read this. put it down in your
book that it is coming: a law that
will mean fine or jail for the people
who do boost prices beyond any
figure the OPACS sets.
Right now all the department of
agriculture is doing is begging,
pleading, imploring that the farmer
keep his shirt on.
Don't set your sites any higher
than parity!" is the message an
official asked me to carry to you.
You are going to get parity" he
added, with conservation payments
plus the IS per cent parity law. And

Contribute Scrap Aluminium

After checking the results obtained in test drives
in four counties of Virginia and Wisconsin, the office
of Production Management will soon appeal to the peo
pie of the United States to salvage 100000 pounds
OF aluminium from kitchen pots and pans and various
sources of scrap metal.
In the tests, recently completed at Richmond Va
and Madison, Wis, $4,000 pounds of aluminium
three or four times the amount expected, were COL
lected This is enough according to officials to build
nearly three ongrange bombers.
Maryanders, we feel sure, will enthusiastically CO.
operate with the people of other sections in this sal
wage enterprise which will mean much to the defense
program Of the United States. They will provide the
needed metal for than six hundred giant flying
fortresses which will help to keep this country free
and independent.

tors" he said. "Since speculation
in wheat and corn futures is now re-
duced to a minimum the idle hands
of the produce gamblers have found
other work to do. They have turned,
to cite one example. to the humble
soy bean, now $1.40 a bushel. If
you go to Chicago and look at the
Exchange you'll find more brokers
crowded into the little bean pit than
there are in the corn pit.
Supply and Demand.
Shortage Of ships, and high ship
ping rates are legitimate reasons
for the increase in soy bean values
because the supply of fats and oils
which we have to import is reduced.
But the farmer can help in this case
for the department of agriculture
has taken off the restriction on rails
ing soy beans for sale instead of
blowing the unripened plants under
for conservation purposes. Harvest
the beans. Supply will ease the de-
mand pressure and help keep the
prices normal"
That SUPERINTENDENT factor is
one reason why Leon Henderson has
not been so concerned over the farm
price situation. The threat of cur
tailed supply in farm products does
not compare with the threat of cur
tailed supply in other lines, like
aluminium, copper and other essen
tials for defense.
Henderson lists the reasons for
general price rises this way:
l. Ocean freight rates-that ap-
plies to coffee, cocoa, shellac, rub
Der and a lot Of other things we
don't grow in this country.
2. Wage rates. Even if they are
not always a genuine cause for
boosting prices they are excellent
excuses.
3. Pressure to get food for Brit
ain. incidentally this has caused
cheese prices to go up because a
lot of cheese is being boarded for
higher prices. 1t is one of the chief
needs of Great Britain.
4. Then, the thing we have men,
toned before, the extraordinary in
crease of money in the wage-earn.
er's pockets due to unemployment.

gest obstacle to keeping prices down
was and his answer reminded me
that ne starred out with the New
Deal in the MIRA. His answer was
"chiseling."

We are nothing, if not anxious to please. Conse-

peace to be found anywhere on the earth.
Peace is not to be found in Europe, where the nor

Peace not located in ASIA wrthng in the throes
of an effort to establish "New Order" designed,
according to its protagoniss to promote and preserve

may be in South America but if So it's voice is not

Peace may be remembered as the great dream of
many men, and children and the victim of those
who profess to love it most These lovers of peace

the enemies of peace forged the links in the chain
which binds it to death.
Happily for the of men, we are encouraged to

days of the operation of the Lease-Lend act only
$152O2,425 worth of materials were shipped to the
duction The rest, valued at $64OOOOOO represented
materials from existing Army and Navy stocks
Of course these figures do not include the materials
shipped to the British under orders placed in this
country but it to be very small part of the
vast flow of materials expected to from the
arsenal of democracy when the Lease-Lend bill was
