Farm Output
Mustn' { Be Cut,

BY ARTHUR CAPPER

xpretai % THE DETROIT TINS

Special 10 THE DETROIT TIMES
WASHINGTON, Sept. All
of us are looking forward TO what
President Roosevelt will have TO
say about his program 10 halt in
fiation.
II has been indicated that he
will announce program for
sterilization of farm prices and
wages.
Some are predicting that he will
organize another board of eco
nomic control.
Another report is that he will
name an economic car" TO con-
troll both prices and wages.
Frankly. / do not know what
program he will propose. So /
will reserve comments upon IL
until after the President las
spoken.
FARM PRODUCTION VITAL
I hope the program. whatever
Il is, will take into account the
necessity of continuing production
of needed farm products in super
abundance, and will not result in
decreased production.
The President and the country
are greatly alarmed, and rightly
so. over the initiation threat which
Is on its way toward reality. Re-
tail price controls, wage stablliZa-
ton, control OF farm prices - all
these are attempts TO halt infia-
ton.
l see the President prefers to
call IL high living costs instead of
initiation. But the fact Is not
changed by changing the name.
OF course, these controls OF farm
prices and wages and retail prices
can be only parts Of the program
to halt, or at least to control, in
flation.
DEAL WITH EFFECTS
Matter of fact, as l see it. these
are attempts 10 deal with Effects
rather than causes. Perhaps that
is all government can do, however,
since the causes are getting pretty
well beyond control.
In the first place, we are bound
to have initiation. We have II al
ready. in q measure.
For one tn ing, look at the
amount Of money in circulation
SOS per capita at the end OF July,
compared 10 $73 year earlier,
and about SIS three years ago.
BY next January there will be
twice as much money in circula-
ton as there was three years
earlier-and only about one-half as
many things and volume OF goods
that can be purchased with all
these new dollars.
BREEDING INITIATION
There Is the breeding Of infla-
ton.
Now there are two basic RENE
dies TO correct this condition.
The first is 10 provide more
goods-increase production.
The second is 10 decrease the
supply of dollars available as pur-
chasing power.
So far as durable consumer
goods--autos, refrigerators. new
buildings, materials made OF steel
and other critical materials-are
concerned. increased production OF
these for consumer purchasing is
out Of the picture. Military needs
do not permit use OF critical ma
terials for civilian purchase.
MORE SHORTAGES LOOM
That leaves non-durable con-
sumner goods-food, clothing, and
the like. Even of these there
threatens 10 he shortages.
Meat is going to be rationed in
three or four months, we are told !:
just as soon as the necessary ma
chinery for nationwide rationing
can be perfected.
Nationwide rationing of gasoline
also is in the plans of the leader
ship in Washington, though / still
insist that this rationing of gaso-

British Home Force Officers
Told 10 Curb Language
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
EDINBURGH, Scotland, May %.
British Army commanders Of the
home forces have been instructed to
stop Immediately the use OF strong
language and attempts to produce
blood lust during battle training,
Maj. Gen. Sir Bernard Paget, chief
of the home forces, declared today
in a letter read at the general as
sembly of the Church Of Scotland.
The letter was read by the Rev.
]. Hutchinson Cockburn, former
moderator, who protested recently
to the war Office.
The letter said the protested
points arose from combination Of
enthusiasm and inexperience Of
young officers but they will certainly
do more harm than good if not
stopped Immediately"
Gen. Paget said an attitude of
hate was foreign to our British
temperament and any attempt to
produce it by artificial stimulus dur
ing training was bound to fail as 1t
did in the last war"

was a continuation of a cam
paign to make trouble between
British and French fleets.
They added that If a British
destroyer had sighted French
warships on the move it was not
likely that anyone in Algeciras,
Spain, would know 1t.

Jap Forces Driven
From Min River Back
To Ships by Chinese
Attempt to Capture
Foochow Also RepuIsed;
Chekione Threatened
BY the Associated Press.

I CHUNGKING, May 23.-More
than half the japanese invasion
force which gained a foothold
Wednesday on Chuanshih Island
at the mouth of the Min River in
| Fukien Province has been wiped
out, and the survivors have fed
to their ships. abandoning large
quantities of equipment, the
Chinese announced officially to-
day.
This announcement followed
swiftly communique reporting the
japanese also had been repulsed in
an attempt to land under the guns
of warships on the north bank Of
the Min east of Foochow, capital
and chief seaport of Fukien.
While the Chinese did not claim
the threat to Foochow had been
smashed, they indicated the in
vaders had suffered heavy setback.
There was no official statement on
the strength of the drive against
Foochow, but some Chinese reports
said the japanese had thrown $4,000
men into it and the frustrated
landing effort was said to have been
backed by the guns of 10 warships.
To the north, meanwhile, four
japanese columns pushed across
Chekiang, neighboring maritime
province, and enemy raiders bombed
Mamoi. a Min River port about 20
miles downstream from Foochow.
Kinhwa, provisional capital of
Chekiang and a gateway to Kiangsi
Province and China's interior, was
in growing danger as one japanese
column reached Tunglu, IS miles
southwest of HangchoW, and con-
tinued westward along the north
shore of the Chientang River toward
Lanchi, about 65 miles southwest of
Tunglu and IL miles northwest of
Kinhwa.
Another japanese column was re-
ported attacking Iwu. about 80 miles
northeast of Kinhwa, after an ad-
vance of IS miles within "a hours
The present positions of two other
enemy spearheads pushing south
west were not reported.
The Toxic radio broadcast 8
Domei report that Japanese forces
had stormed into Iwu.
The radio added that part of
these forces had moved six miles
southwest of Iwu and occupied
Kiangwan while other Japanese
troops captured Wangchung, 7 miles
southwest of Iwu.
Iwu appears on some maps as
Yiwu. The advance reported south
of that point would represent q
fanking of Kinhwa to the east.
Other Japanese dispatches indi-
Gated this flanking action had been
deepened by a 6-mile advance OF
Tungyang, by reporting capture Of
the village of Nanki, which does moi
appear on most maps. Tungyane
lies about 10 miles southeast of Iwu

have knocked two more japanese
ships out of the enemy's poten-
tial invasion forces gathering
above Australia and have pared
his air strength by another 13
planes, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's

japanese invasion bases among the
islands north of Australia-a large
transport at Rabaul, New Britain,
which was reported left in a Grip
pied condition" and a tanker at
Lac, New Guinea, which was "se-
verely damaged"
Jap Resistance Feeble.
The Japanese offered only feeble
resistance to these new air smashes,
part of the positive defense plan by
which Allied airmen have ham
mered at Japan's chief advance
concentration centers without re-
spite since the enemy moved into
Australia's island roof.
Eight japanese fighter planes
rose to challenge the raiders at Lac,
the communique said, but five were
shot down and "all our planes re-
turned safely"
Besides the tanker and the fighter
planes bagged in flight, two enemy
bombers were destroyed aground on
} the Lac Airdrome.
In Rabaul, the communique said
enemy interception was ineffec-
tive" and six heavy japanese
bombers were badly damaged"
Plane Watchers to Be Trebled.
The Australian government, mean
while. moved to step up this con-
tinent's defenses by approving plans
to treble the corps of volunteer OBJ
servers who now keep watch for "a
hours a day for the appearance OF
enemy planes.
Air Minister Arthur S. Drakeford
said the corps would function in
close liaison with the United States
Army Air Force and would absorb
large, number of Australian All
Force officers to maintain contact
