Trespas


lat least not the kind that the sena
tor had in mind. This fight has
brought together on both sides Of
the fence persons representing every
shade and color of the political spec
trum, all the way from pitch black to
deep red. 1t is a veritable hodge
podge.
Imagine what a call for confer
ence to form new political party
on such slogan as I'VE oppose aid
to Britain short of war" would pro-
ducel You would have a conglomera-
tion of republicans, democrats, social
lists, communists, fascists, anti-fascists,
isolationists, Coughlanites, nazis, con-
servatives, reactionaries, liberals, pro-
gressives, and radicals. Or call on
the slogan of "all aid to Britain short
of war!" You would have all the above
lisolationists, nazis, COughlinites, and
communists to make up for this
"loss" you would have the war crowd,
which, to be sure, constitutes a very
small fraction of the supporters of the
administrations foreign policy, in
which the great majority of the
American people believe. Both sides
would proclaim to the skies that they
are opposed to war But no possible
agreement on domestic policy
could come from the above mess,
which is necessary to form the base
of any new political movement.
From political standpoint, the stu
alton is almost ludicrous. Talk about
politics making strange bedfellows!
In support of the administration on
the foreign policy issue you find
sleeping in the same bed liberal La
Guardia, progressive Norris, conserva-
tive Wendell Willkie, reactionary
Gene Cox, with pro-labor Abe Muir
dock and anti-1abor Howard (Under-
taker) Smith snoozing at the foot
Sleeping in the other political bed
you find liberal Wheeler, progressive
LaFollette, conservative Taft, reac-
tionary Cotton Ed" Smith, socialist
Norman Thomas, and communist Earl
Browder, with plenty of room beneath
the covers for pro-labor Lee Geyer,
anti-labor Clare Hoffman, Hamilton
Fish, and General Wood, and even a
soft spot underneath the bed reserved |
for William Dudley Pelley to dream
of New World order with himself |
as the American fuehrer.
Undoubtedly, the national situation.
If it continues for any length of time, |
will produce situation in which there |
will be a more natural political align
nent on Capitol hill. This may be
brought about when questions Of do
nestle policy are being determined
of social gains of recent
Years, protection of labor, civil liber
les, advancing the New Deal. and
he like. On these questions you will
ind the genuine New Dealers, liberal
progressive republicans,
and farmer-laborites ar
aged against the southern (some
also) tory democrats and
lorthern corporation" republicans.
These are the kind of situations out
# which new political movements are
,orn. But the foreign situation is d.
riding, not uniting, the liberals and
rogressives.

FARMER ELLA KANEFF.
Dagmar, Mont, Feb. 18. 1941

Dagmar, Mont, Feb. 18, 1941
Dear Editor:
This morning plan occurred to me
in regard to the crop insurance set-up,
which I believe, should replace the
present profit making system for
| large grain producers.
First the requirements and regula-
tlons which permit large yields per
acre to automatically reduce their
costs of insurance, be changed
A limit of the guarantee for bushels
per acre be limited to ten per acre
regardless of whether it produces
over that amount. Loss must be be-
low this Second, that costs be re-
duced to one fourth to a half bushel
on all crop insurance.
A compulsory requirement for any
participant of the AAA program
would find it necessary to insure, ex-
cept where the past twenty years his
toric records show that certain fields
had not produced three bushels aver
age, which field or strip would not
comply and be neutral.
For example, where fields produce
over ten bushels per acre, no insur-
ance can be collected for any loss
sustained. The historic records of
each farm will be the guide for adjust
ments of both costs of insurance and
this limiting factor in between three
and ten bushels per acre guaranteed
insurance. Another suggestion would
be to reduce this bushel factor be-
tween the low of three to six bushels
per acre basis.
The purpose of these plans are to
provide insurance to all farmers ex-
cept those whose historic records are
below three bushels average for past
twenty years. Those enjoying large
crop yield per acre production, would
have insurance whenever each acre of
the field or strip was reduced by
losses to the set point of ten or six
bushels yield per acre. Thus at the
set cost of one half bushel per acre.
he would not be paying excessive
costs for crop insurance May we
have your reactions on this plan for
making it worth while for the lower
acre yield producer to be able to CO.
operate?

the Chinese who compose most of the
working population. On the other
hand the assembly adopted a measure
to reserve for Siamese workers about
half of the job openings in certain
fields.
Thailand still has nothing worthy
of being described as a labor move
ment, although there is degree OF
organization among the industrial
workers of Bangkok. These form
about 10 of the total working popu-
latiOn.
Conditions among agricultural work
ers are far worse. Nothing has been
done to improve their status or to as
sure more abundant supply of man
power to develop the vast uncultivated
lands of the nation.
The alternative to cheaper and more
abundant labor is the use Of mechan-
ical power, but this is difficult for
rice farming and in any case the cost
of fuel is prohibitive. The govern
ment will soon face a reckoning on its
policy of cutting down Chinese immi-
grafton without providing for replace

Would Outlaw
Lecture Racket"

| Rep. Burdick, North Dakota liberal
has reintroduced, with some modifi-
cation, his bill making it unlawful
for any member Of congress, any mem
bers Of the presidents cabinet, or any
judge of any court to receive compen-
sation for addresses and speeches"
The bill provides forfeiture Of office
for engaging in such practices.
The practice which Burdick seeks
to curb is an old one. Some members
of congress get themselves in the pub
lie limelight and then make a racket
out of delivering lectures throughout
the country for the money that there
is in it. Incidentally, Martin Dies, who
has been severely criticized for that
practice, told the house last week that
he is keeping this money in separate
fund to donate at the proper time ito
patriotic purposes" Evidently, he
hasn't been able to stand the heat
Burdick first introduced the bill in
1899, but it developed sleeping sick
ness in the house judiciary commit
tee. He has asked for report on the
new bill, which means that he may
be able to get a hearing-perhaps
Pigeonholes are made for bills of that
kind. But Burdick is an energetic
fellow, and he says that he is not
going to keep quiet.
Current Capital Chatter
1t is estimated that 1000 business
men from all parts Of the country ar
rive in Washington daily seeking de-
fense contracts -. The National AS
sociation of Manufacturers is trying
hard to put over the idea that defense
deliveries can be speeded up If they
can increase the hours Of employment,
but that putting on more men and ex-
ira shifts will not speed up deliveries.
1t just doesn't make sense. The house
last week showed that the cock-eyed
world is all wet when it says that a
democracy can't do things in hurry.
