FIRM WORDS:
President Speaks

President Roosevelt spoke to the
new congress. There were no weasel
words. The President was grave.
His speech was frank, and fighting.
He said he would call on congress
to give authority to provide billions
OF dollars" worth of weapons needed
by the embattled democracies Of
the world. He warned appeasers
and subversive elements that the
government would use its sovereign
ty to save the government. He adj
mitted that the defense effort is lag
ging in some quarters and demand
ed sacrifices from business, labor
and agriculture.
England has been criticized at
home and abroad for not making
earlier a statement of its war aims.
President Roosevelt covered this de-
tail as far as the American effort
goes. He said America was seek
ing to protect the fundamentals on
which this government was founded
free speech, free press, the right
to worship as persons conscience
dictates; and, lastly freedom from
want and freedom from fear"
The President made no light mat
ter of the danger. He said secret
troops of the dictators already are
among US. He said as long as the
aggressor nations maintain the mi
tiative, America is not safe. He de-
clared whatever stands in the way
Of speed must give way to the ma.
tonal security.
Il was the most unique message
ever delivered to q new congress.
Usually Presidents messages TO
new bodies 60 into lengthy and de-
tailed recitals ON q Inu1titndinous
amount Of administrative complex
ties. This message dwelt on one sub
ject-defense and speed in defense.
Two days later came the Presi-
dents new budget message. It
called for a total expenditure Of
SIT ,485, 526, 049 during the 1912 fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1941. This is
the highest budget in history except
the war year 1873. Over 10 billions
Of this amount is to be used for u. S.
defense spending. The balance of
non-defense spending came to well
over six billions, a little less than
this year.
More taxes will be needed, said
the Presidents message, to pay

FOOD FOR EUROPE:
Britain ReIents

American governmental pressure
upon London has brought a change
in blockade policy and will result
In some food shipments being made
to Spain, unoccupied France and
Finland.
u. S. authorities have been ne
gotiating with the British for months
to obtain a reversal of the order.
The British we're afraid that any
food reaching Europe soon would be
in the hands Of the Germans, whom
they accuse of stripping occupied
territory so as to increase rations
at home. The story told in France
was repeated to American diplo-
mats. In France, II is said, there is
German waiting every time a
chicken lays an egg.
Besides, it was pointed out TO the
U. S. agents, that it is the duty of
the conquering nation to feed the
conquered, and it was recalled that
American and British sacrifices
we're necessary after the Arnistice
in 1918 In order to get food into
Germany, both occupied and unoc-
cupied territory.
But American pressure continued.
and London unwilling to be stub
born with the nation to whom il Is
looking to supply much of its muni-
tons, finally relented.

down TO Washington-into the gov
eminent where he has been trying to
put into practice the ideas he
thought would be good for other
farmers and other acres from Maine
to California.
Claude Wickard first came to the
capital in 1893 to become assistant
and later chief Of the corn-hog Sec
ton Of the Triple-A. He was made
secretary Of the department of ag-
riculture last August when Secretary
Wallace resigned to run for vice
president. But his heart Is still back
in Carol county, Indiana, where his
n-year-old father and two men are
running his farm.
Corn and hogs were on Secretary
Wickard's mind when talked TO
him the other day, and II was corn
and hogs that brought him TO Wash
ington in the beginning by way of
Des Moines, Iowa, but II really goes
back further than that. The school
house meeting, l spoke of, was the
milestone, but the day he told his
father he was going to college was
really the beginning. In those days
and 1t isn't 80 long ago because
Wickard Is only 47-a lot of farmers
thought that all a boy would get in
college was a lot Of darn-fool ideas.
Only one OF the Wickard's neigh
bors had been to college, but Purdue
university was only 30 miles away
and the idea percolated. Young
Claude went and when he was gradu-
ated agricultural course, of course)
IN 1915 he was ready to take over
the farm. Twelve years later the
Prairie Farmer named him as a
Master Farmer of Indiana. That
was the only thing he boosted about
IN the half-hour conversation had
with him.
