Considerable publicity was given to
recent incident in western Norway
where a farmer had been sentenced
to eighteen months in Jail because he
used some of his own hay to feed his
starving cattle instead of turning it
over to the Nazis. Such things ought
to arouse indignation, but are we in a
position to criticize?
Under the NRA a small battery
manufacturer in Pennsylvania was ar
rested for violating the code which
fixed prices of batteries; in New Jer-
sey a dry cleaner was arrested for
cleaning and pressing suits for IS
cents when the code had fixed the
price at so cents. Finally the National
Recovery Act was declared unconsti-
tutional.
But today all American farmers
must turn over to the Secretary of
Agriculture all surplus wheat raised
in excess of their quota or pay a pen
atty of 40 cents per bushel. 1t is also
decreed that none of such surplus
grain may be fed to livestock or poul-
try.
The European war has clouded much
of the domestic troubles here, but the
New Deal philosophy is still thrust
down our threats, whether we like it
or not So there isn't much difference
except that the Germans hand out
longer sentences.
They are just now beginning to
ask farmers to raise more foodstuffs
when for several years they have
followed the plan Of blowing under
crops and restricting production.

This Is The Place

For climate and an all-around va
cation spot, Garrett county is really
the place. Ever since we left the sea
shore over two weeks ago we have
been comparing notes.
We have nothing to take the place
of the ocean and its waves and the re-
freshing salt water-if not taken in
ternally-but we have fresh water
which is just as refreshing, and fresh
mountain air, which is just as invig-
Grating.
For the never-ending stretch of sand
dunes, sandy soil and scraggly trees,
we have the beautifully wooded knobs
and soil that is more firm. The semi
fiat country can't compare with the
mountains here. Just recently a
painter who had been in many places
throughout the world, said that he had
seen places more spectacular but never
had he looked at scenery that was as
well balanced with mountains, trees,
valleys, etc, as he had seen here
For the never-ending rush of traffic,
the speeding automobiles and heller
SHELTER push to get somewhere and
get back again, we have no comparison
for that either, we are pleased to as
sert. We have few reckless fools on
the highway, but these are in the mi
nority. And most of US take time to
enjoy ourselves and we don't have to
go many miles to find a suitable spot.

The latest shuttle puts them firmly
in the saddle. Definitely, industry
has been given a subordinate role The
New Dealers are to formulate policy
and supply managerial genius. The
dollar-a-year industrialists are to
carry out orders or get out. Some Of
them would like to do the latter, but
feel that to take issue with the New
Dealers or question the competency of
the new arrangement would expose
them to White House Indictment as
alphabetically unwilling to serve I'M
less they could serve on their own
terms. None wants to take that kind
of risk, In brief, they can be kicked
out, but they can't get out.

can OF will do ii. For one thing, he
has not been given the poweEs 1t is
absurd to compare his position with
that of Mr.. Baruch on the old War
Industries Board. Mr.. Roosevelt has
delegated no authority to him such
as Mr.. Wilson delegated to Mr. Bar
UGH. Mr. Roosevelt has not made Mr.
Nelson the boss of the job and no one
thinks so. Consequently, except for
putting the New Dealers on top and
RELOCATING the industrialists~ to the
rear, no basic change has been made.
1t is possible that later Mr.. Nelson
may be given the authority he lacks
and may use it effectively That is
the hope. Certainly, he has the
knowledge and the capacity. Per
haps he will make his own opportun-
ity, but what he chiefly needs is to
be backed up. At any rate, it is no
eXaggeration to say that the bung
ling of the defense management al
ready has cost twenty-five per cent
in money and thirty-three per cent in
time. If continued it may cost the
war. Under the new management
some advance is assured, but only the
incurably optimistic believe that COM
potency has rpplaced inc0mpptencV
or that waste and friction are ended.
One reason for disbelief is because
however different the set-up, the per
sonnet has not been changed, nor
has authority increased. There will be
production, of course. Increased pro-
duction is inevitable as re-
suit Of the immense outpouring of
money and placing of contracts. But
the cost in time and the risks are not
pleasant to contemplate.

Washington. Sept. 6

Washington, Sept. 6
The disposition among those who
grasp the degree to which the defense
job has been botehed is to express
hope that the third reorganization OF
the defense machinery, recently put
into effect by the President, will
measurably lessen the confusion and
increase the efficiency Everybody
must hope that, because upon it the
national safety clearly depends.

Yet, the truth is that those in the
best position to Judge have slight
expectation that this hope will be more
than partially realized After two
weeks, during which the new super
board has been functioning, this feel
ing has grown. The notion that at last

Two things give his words weight
first, his unparalleled experience; sec
ond, the fact that he has neither per.
sonal nor political ak to grind. He is
that rare thing in public affairs-a de.
tached and disinterested man.
Actually what the President has

defense cards-not change the deck

1t Pays To Advertise-In the Right
rse4rAya Way


Just recently we happened to take
a look in the old barn up at the house
In it was stack of circulars over a
foot high, which meant 1900 at least
and which were supposed to have been
distributed to persons throughout this
area.
Some irresponsible person had been
hired to distribute those circulars, and
the job was never finished. The con-
Germ may have offered some bargains
but Oakland people never knew of
them.
That's one time that advertising
did not pay.
With newspaper advertising such a
chance is not taken. Each paper is
delivered right into the home where
it stays on the reading table and is
looked at time and again. Advertising
displays in The Republican are not
tossed away. They are kept close to the
readers.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1941-09-11

The explanation of Mr.. Nelson is
very simple one. 1t is somewhat
naively given by New Deal journal
lists, who assert that he is "the one
businessman" who has played ball"
with Mr.. Henderson. At the moment
Mr.. Nelson is the New Deals favorite
businessman because, more than any
other, he has seemed sympathetic
personally and politically with the
New Dealers and their ideas. Those
who have observed him closely since
he came to Washington say that while
he is certainly an intelligent man he
has been so anxious to stand we'll with
Mr. Hopkins, Mr. Henderson and a
few others that he has not used his
intelligence effectively. The reason
he has been given his present posi-
ton is because he does stand well with
them. That isn't disputed by the New
Dealers-it is proclaimed
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1941-09-11

1t is interesting to note the neat
way in which the reshuffie has elimi-
mated the businessmen from all policy
shaping positions. Mr.. Knudsen finds
himself confined to the production end
of the now subordinated OPM. Mr..
Stattinius no longer has anything to
do with priorities, but has become
sort of an aide to Mr.. Hopkins in the
lend-lease operations. Mr. Bait is to
go to Russia and Mr.. Biggers is in a
new and limited area. The one bust
nessman of the lot who appears to
have gained rather than lost ground
is Mr.. Donald Nelson, named as eX-
ecutive secretary Of the super board.
