CROSSES UP PLANS

Rep. Henry B. Steagall ID OF
Alabama. chairman of the House
banking committee, crossed up adj
miniStration plans when he intro
duccd bill differing sharply from
the Senate proposal.
The Steagall measure directs
that ceilings on farm commodities
be set at parity Ohe l909-1914
purchasing power of the farmers
dollar or the highest market price
this year whichever is higher.
The bill also proposes a new def
milton of parity in which labor
costs of the farmer would be in
cluded.
Experts said that this would re-
suit in sharply increasing parity
prices. Senator Elmer Thomas
Id of Oklahoma said farm wages
had risen so per cent since the
parity period
Agriculture parity experts said
the Steagall proposal would allow
farm prices TO rise al least 3 per
cent above the present ceiling
level of 40 per cent OF parity.
Steagall defended his proposal
on the ground that :Mr. Roosevelt
said in his historical Labor Day
message that the farmers labor
costs should be included in the
definition of parity.
Republican Senate Leader
Charles l.. McNary backed the
Senate bill,-but ominousfy indi-
Gated that the Republicans may
demand tightening of controls
over wages and farm prices to
hold down the cost of living.
NO CURB ON WAGES
The strategy of the farm bloc
appeared TO be to accept stabiliza-
I ton OF prices at parity or the
! highest price this year, but with
the definition Of parity changes
so that ceilings on basic farm
crops would he increased. The
Steagall bill also called for a
floor" of 100 per cent parity I'M
der farm prices for three years
alter the emu vi Nllt wal.
The Steagall measure also diff
fered from the Senate bill in leav-
ing out standards for sterilization
of wages. The bill only directed
1 the President TO stabilize wages
and salaries so as 10 bring about
fair relation between farmers
and industrial workers.
Senator PrentisS NJ Brown Cd
of Michigan. who is in charge of
the Senate bill, refused to accept
the Steagall program. He said the
bill must cover both wages and
farm prices.
Under the ate plan. Brown
said. the pr ilings established
by Price Adn Strator Henderson
in March probably could be main
tanned. and the cost of living kept
at about its present level.
Senator Arthur II. VandenberG

Senate measure on the ground
that il does not give the President
specific direction TO link both farm
prices and wages.

Ecuador Base
Ideal to Defend
Panama Canal
Nv MAJ. PAUL {. RABORG
Wnusr for international Ne~s service
snd Detroit Times

Wutt,s for international Ns~s Service
snd Detroit Times
THE YEAR 1912 has been
one Of bitter disappointments
for Hitler. not the least OF
which was Brazils declaration
Of war against the Axis.
Now this has been followed
bV Ecuadors consent 10 our
occupation Of the Galapagos
Islands, and the granting TO
MS of the coastal port Of
Santa Elena, as much needed
bases for our defense of the
Panama Canal and Central
America from the Pacific side.
The key requirement for
hemisphere defense is that
our bases should be located
in South America below both
the east and west bulges Of
that continent.
Now this is en- accomplished
fact-Brazil on the east coast
and Ecuador on the west.
1t appears that all of the
northern nations Of South
America down to the extreme
southern end of the continent
are with US.
Chile and Argentina are
still neutral and conducting
normal relations with the Axis
nations.
But, many expert OBJ
servers believe that these
two countries soon will come
wholeheartedly into our good
neighbor" American solidarity,
all other South American
nations having set this
example.
THE LARGEST and most
disable of several groups Of
islands in the Pacific Ocean
west of the Panama Canal
are the Galapagos which are
appro ximately 1000 miles
southwest of the Pacific en-
trance to the canal, and about
800 miles due west of the
coast of Ecuador.
They are volcanic islands
discovered in 1882 and in 1892
were officially renamed the
Colin archipelago.
They have a total area of
400 square miles. and al
places rise TO height Of
$3.50 feet.
The largest island is Alber-
marie, which is 60 miles long.
They are all arid, though
turtles of tremendous size
are caught there. Cotton, figs,
oranges and tobacco have been
planted with some success.
The permanent population
is not over 500 people.
Ecuador has a penal settle
ment on Charles Island, one
OF the Galapagos group. where
her most desperate criminals
are sent.
The islands provide ample
and excellent naval, air and
sub m a rine base facilities,
which make a wonderful pro-
tective area in conjunction
with the mainland base AT
Santa Elena.
This coastal city is at the
extreme edge Of Ecuador. II
Is at the southern end of the
Santa Elena Bay and the
northern point of the great
Gulf of Guaysquil. In other
words, il is ideal for defense
purposes.
