u. ). Talks With Brazil
For Air Base Rights
Off Natal Reported
Republic Asked to Take
Itoliun-Run Airport ot
Hump Legislators Soy
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Pursuing broad strategy de-
signed to safeguard the hemisphere,
the United States today was re-
ported negotiating for air base rights
in Brazil to offset any German threat
to Dakar, French West Africa.
Informed congressional sources
declared the State Department has
initiated discussions with Brazil,
urging her to resume control of an
1talian-operated airport on an island
off Natal, seaport on the hump of
the South American continent.
From Natal it is only 1920 miles
northeast across the narrowest part
of the South Atlantic to Dakar,
referred to frequently as poten-
tial jump-off point for operations .
against the Western Hemisphere. =,
Members of Congress concerned
with military legislation expressed
misgivings over the announcement p
from Vichy that Admiral Jean Dar-
Ian would be given supreme control
Of French military matters. This
newest evidence of Franco-German
collaboration, they declared, prob
ably meant that Hitler would be
accorded the right to use Dakar.
Swift Hemisphere Moves Seen.
These legislators saw little like
lihood that the United States would
make any direct move to block Nazi
occupation of the African base, but
they foresaw swift moves by this
Nation in the Western Hemisphere
to offset such a threat, should 1t
materialize. They said the most
practical safeguard would be as
sured American access to previously
prepared bases in Brazil.
This might mean, they said, that
the United States would have to
advance funds and equipment for
such bases although it might make
no effort to place troops there until
the threat of a 'Nazi move toward
this hemisphere became more
definite.
The legislators found official con-
firmation of their fears that Hitler
plans to move into North Africa,
in secret testimony of Gen. George
c. Marshall. chief of staff. made
public by the House Military Com
mittee.
Marshall Sees New Attacks.
Speaking in connection with the
Army service extension measure,
Gen. Marshall told the committee.
II think the Russian campaign has
delayed the possibility of attack on
England, but 1t appears from the
meager data available that the Ger
man armies are pretty well up to
| schedule
Whether bad weather, whether
heavy losses, whether later re-
sistance will cause long delays or
a crippling morale effect on the Ger
man army, cannot say at this time.
But I feel, with Russia disposed Of,
as far as the Volga, for example. the
next move will probably come
quickly in a rush through Spain
and Portugal into North Africa, and
possibly a farther movement into
the Near East"

The Peoples Voice,
Helena, Montana
Dear Editor,
When l received The Peoples Voice
today and noticed the census figures
you have collected and published,
went right to work to write you a
letter of thanks. If there is not some
change in the policy of fixing the base
acreage of the small family sized
farm, the tendency will continue to
force more small producers out of
business. Your figures must be cor
rect. They show there was 50,564
farms in 1885 and in 1910 41,S23 a
loss of S,741 farms. Last summer the
census taker, Mrs. Freidl showed Hill
county had 1925 farms in 1885 and
1,246 in 1910, loss of 279
The report of Mr. Sparkman stated
that it is the lower one-third of the
producers that are being forced out,
and then he says that many formerly
distressed farmers are better off. Civ
ing careful thought to that statement
| have to conclude the reduction pro-
gram that compells the small under
sized farms to reduce acres when
their acres are too small already is
what has forced those small produc-
ers off from their farms, it can not
be any thing else but acre reduction
that has destroyed those farmers.
Now since the quota is compulsory;
there are likely to be at least 1000
more young married couples that are
just starting out who will be forced
to quit. Mr.. Editor, did you ever stop
to think that there are several hum
dred FSA farmers that receive out
right grants in Montana right now.
Evidently they are not self-supporting,
and would add that many more to
that S,741 farmers that have been
outright grants. At any rate this
condition is so alarming and If the
cause is what the report of the COM
mittee to investigate the migration
of destitute citizens indicate which is
the loss is caused by the small farm
units being already too small, and
when those farmers are compelled to
reduce their cash crop still more, they
are definitely forced out of business
by the reduction program. The rec
ords of the state AAA would also
show, l assume the same alarming
loss of farmers. At Great Falls when
the Farmers Union called the farmers
in to discuss the quota the leading
state committeeman were all there |
and most Of the county committee
men. But it was hard to put ques-
tions to the committee But l did |
put the question up to them; which |
