SOYBEAN PRICE
SUPPORT PROVIDED
AAA C0-0PERATORS

To avoid undue depletion of vegeta-
BILE oil stocks and to insure ample
supplies for defense as well as nor
NAL requirements, the department Of
agriculture has announced changes in
provisions of the agricultural conser-
walton program to encourage in
creased production this year of soy
beans for oil.
Department officials pointed out
that the flow of supplies from some
of the normal sources of fats and oils
has been interrupted due to war con-
ditions. Although the situation is not
expected to be serious in 1941-42, they
said, some increase in domestic pro-
duction of fats and oils in 1871 may
be necessary to provide normal vol
ume for consumption without mate
rial reduction in stocks.
Although relatively strong market
is expected to be maintained as a
result Of increasing domestic demand,
the department will utilize its avail
able resources to provide price sup
port to AAA co-operators for soy
beans.

Did Churchill Kiss Hitler's Hess?

the only weapon they have with which
to protect themselves. But what
steps has he taken against the money
powers of this country when they re-
fused to produce war materials in
their factories without enormous prof
it's? Not a thing. He just conceded
to their wishes.
With this for a background what
will the German-Russian outcome be-?
Churchill in his radio broadcast was
red-baiting and sabotaging Russia in
one breath and in the next was ac-
cepting Russian help and calling for
aid Roosevelt was very reluctant to
make any comment for some time and
in his message to Sumner Welles he
refused any aid to Russia. He rather
evaded the issue of H. R. 1875 and
was vague on what might be done for
Russia Later reports were that all
aid was to be given to Britain 1t
seems as though Roosevelt is holding
himself aloof and in the clear so he
can follow the lead of Churchill. And
who knows where Churchill might
wind up?
The British rulers have never been
reliable, either in words or actions.
Their promises in war to other ma
lions have never meant anything and
their, policy has always been to give
lip service until the enemy was con-
quered and then to come in on the
kill for their reward.
What is the real meaning of Hitlers
attack on Russia? Has Churchill
kissed Hitler's Hess and made a pact
with Germany for the down fall of
Russia? Will Churchill turn like
sheep killing dog on Russia at the
opportune moment and help Hitler
destroy her so as to get his share of
the oil and granaries of Russia? And
is Roosevelt setting back here snarl-
ing and red-baiting in true fascist
fashion waiting for his opportunity to
join the melee? Time of course will
tell and direct aid to Russia will give
the American people some confidence
in the honesty of the move. But all
aid to England means just nothing
except perhaps building England up
for flank attack on Russia. q

ON OUR
DOORSTEP
BY PARKER T. ANDERSON

Three years ago Montana had ,
devastating scourage of sleeping sick
ness among her horses. At that time
medical science had only reached the
point where it recommended protec
ton from the blistering sun and stab
| ling to ward off mosquitoes and flies
Bathing of the animals from foretor
The writer did all this for favorite
old saddle horse only to have him
turn out cripple in the fall. Thou
sands of good animals persisted on the
unprotected ranges of the state. A
multitude of these horses would today
since the government is securing the
state for remounts, could they have
been saved. A reckless waste is in
variably followed by woeful want.
In 1889 vaccination of horses was
pretty generally practiced by farmers
who used a recommended serum. Last
year there was little vaccination and
practically no equine sickness so the
therapeutic value of the serum was
not demonstrated. Certain precau-
lions were said to be necessary in
handling the serum but the operation
itself was easily performed by stock
men experienced in administering anti
blackleg serum to calves. Horses Of
fered little objection to the insertion
of the hypodermic needle. The cost
per dose was around 40 cents.
Now comes the state veterinary de-
partment with the warning that
equine sleeping sickness has already
made it's appearance in the state and
that horse owners should get busy.
With this timely warning no one will
find fault, but when the head of the
department gives an interview in
which he says administration of the
serum should be made only by veter-
inarians and that the dose will cost
double what it did last year owing to
the elimination of competition on the
part of manufacturers, the thing be-
gins to look screwy. The horse is OBJ
viously still an important part of our
national defense and if forces are
planning to sabotage his salvage, de-
tense boards should at once launch an

C0UGHLIN
EUL0GIZES
NAzI LEADERS

Father Charles e. Coughlin no
longer makes any attempt to conceal
his warm regard for nazism and the
gangster leaders of the Third Reich.
In the June issue of Social Justice
the Royal Oak priest devotes an ar
ticle to praising the nazi bigwigs and
to making an invidious comparison be-
tween them and U. s. statesmen
The article, entitled Study in Con-
trasts," opens with an attack on Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The degenerate ma
ture of the attack is ill-concealed be-
hind its pious wording: "The dignity
of his office and his physical afflica-
ton invite respect and sympathy for
our ailing President" In his follow
ing remarks, Father Coughlin says,
in somewhat more open language:
"vice President Wallace attempted to
evade the draft in the last war;
"Messrs. Stimson and Knox are col
onels of the swivel chair; Harold
Ickes-now a father for the second
time-will be able to face the powder
baby powder-and that is all''; and
"Mr. Morgenthau, strong on getting
other men to do the fighting, will do
none himself"
Nazi Germany, the priest declares,
offers a different picture:
"Then, the contrast
"Hitler is often himself in the front
ranks-facing shot and shell.
"Goering is an able air commander,
actually flying his own plane and par
ticipating in the war.
"And the 'sickly' Hess taught the
war-makers in America that the Ger
man war-makers can fly their own
Messerschmidts and bale out as any
common soldier is expected to bale
out.
"At least, the Germans are superior
to our war-makers in that they ac-
tually participate in the war"

Oil Company Asked to
Postpone Price Increase

Standard Oil Company of Ohio was
asked, in telegram sent June 10 by
OPACS Administrator Henderson, to
postpone, pending discussion with
OPACS officials, an announced in
crease of " cent a gallon in diesel
tractor, and furnace oil.
The increase was to become effec-
tive June II. The position of OPACS
is that the increase is due to an UNI
usual demand situation for the types
of oil involved rather than to an in
crease in cost For that reason it is
believed that the increase should not
be carried out unless additional sub
Stimulating factors can be shown by
the company.

Coffee Men, OPACS Officials
Explore Supplies and Prices

Representative of all branches OF
the coffee trade met June IL with
OPACS officials. All phases of the
present coffee situation were thor
oughly explored.
1t was pointed out by the govern
ment representatives that stocks of
coffee in the United States are at rec
ord levels and more than adequate
to cover requirements for the remand
er of the quota year ending September
30th.
While present stocks are not evenly
distributed over the trade, it was
made clear by OPACS representa-
tives that this condition would not be
permitted to increase coffee prices at
the expense of consumers.

Dies, Notorious Un-Ameri-
can, Seeks to Cover Up for
Nazi Controlled Chemical
Firm by Smearing Reid
Robinson.

The workers of the American Pot
ash and Chemical Corporation al
Trona, California have been on strike
for two months for higher wages and
better working conditions. This rich
firm, owned by German and British
financial groups, reaps big profits on
war shipments to Japan but refuses to
grant the modest demands of the
American workers employed there.
This incident brings out sharply
the utter hypocrisy of the rich groups
who use patriotism" as a cloak for
their unrestrained profiteering 1t
does not matter to them at whose ex-
pense.
The strike of the Trona workers
is being led by the International I'm
ion of Mine, Mill and Smelter Work

that "joint Nazi-British corporate in

SEEKS to cover up for the treacherous
agents of Hitler and Churchill In this
country.
This is only one of the many ex-

have shown how Hitler and other
powerful nazis reap dividends from
the production of American planes,
Chemicals and other products, while
American copper, oil and many vital
war materials find their way to Japan,
Italy and Germany. 1t has been
brought out that in the midst of fran

crates with German concern in hold

The traitorous racketeering activ-
tiles of American industrialists and
