Washington, ID. C.-prOductiOn per
man-hour is steadily rising, providing
the basis for wage increases, says the
American Federation Of Labor monthly
survey. "Today,' the survey adds, in
dustry is doubIy reducing costs, be
cause in addition to cutting labor cost
by increasing production per hour Of
work, it is also cutting overhead costs
by increasing the volume of output
This double saving can be turned into
wage increases No price control can
prevent this kind of wage rise"

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Hitler is not the only Germany;
there is another Germany, the labor
division of the Committee to Defend
remarkable declaration by the Catholic
Bishop Clemens August in st. Lam
hert's Church, Munster, Westphalia,
last July.
Bishop August's address is a telling
indictment of Hitlerism, especially Of
the practice of the Gestapo in arrest
ing German citizens and imprisoning
them or otherwise furnishing them
without trial or public hearing. mo
one of us is certain that he will not
one day be fetched out of his home, de-
prived of his liberty and shut up in
the dungeons and concentration camps
of the Gestapo," he said.
Declaring that justice is the founda
ton of the commonwealth, Bishop
August said that this foundation was
being shaken in Germany and demand
ed that the rights of human per-
sonality be respected. Any other
course, he emphasized, wealens and
gradually destroys the morale of the
people.
Lack of space prevents long quota
ton from Bishop August's address, but
what ne said in closing gives the spirit
of his talk and is we'll worth quoting.
My brethern," the Bishop said,
people will perhaps reproach me with
weakening the home front of the Ger
man people through using such frank
language during the war. To that re-
proach l make the following reply: 1t
is not / who am the cause of any
weakening of the home front, but those
ing the external distress of the people,
here, in Munster and at this time, at
the end of week of terror from fear
full hostile air raids, impose hard pen
altieS on innocent victims without a
verdict of the courts or the possibility
of defense
"It is these men who destroy the Sc
Curity of the Reich when they punish
our ellow-countrymen, our brothers
and sisters, deprive them of their prop
erty, cast them out into the street and
Danish them from the country. 1t is
they who undermine the sense of right,
it is they who weaken the trust in our
government. And, therefore / raise my
voice in the name of the honest German
nation, in the name of the majesty of
law. in the interest of peace and the
solidarity Of the home front.
"Therefore, as a German, as an hon
Orable citizen, as a representative of
the Christian religion and as a Cath
olic Bishop, / cry aloud We demand
Justice! If this cry remains unheard
and unheeded, if the rule of royal JUS
tice is not restored, our German ma
ton and country will, despite the

Gus victories, perish from inner cor

in any attempt to deceive the COM

Mr.. Foss' word as to the accuracy

Representative Leavy, Democrat

When we get through with our

what we think the support prices

Mr.. Tarver then asked whether
Mr.. Henderson consulted with Mr.

to impede transportation Of farm
products, at is going to be difhcult
to 60 back and find enough horses
and wagons"
Mr.. Wickard said he believed 1t
would be no more than fair" to
consider labor costs in establishing
parity prices.
He had noticed, he added,
tendency to sacrifice the general
agricultural program to the general
war program.
1T am a little afraid" he con-
tinued, that agriculture may be
forgotten after this war Is over. 80
Unless we have a pretty firm grip
upon the market and production ma
chinery of this country and we have
some ways of working with other
countries who produce things like
cotton, corn and wheat. we might
find ourselves back In a very dis
agreeable competitive situation"
Summing up its study of charges
made against the Farm Security Ad-
ministration. particularly by the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
the committee said evidence showed
"carelessness and inef1ciency on the
part Of employees" in the field. It
added 1t was assured this had not
been "countenanced by the admin
istration and will in every known
instance be corrected"
F. S. A. Work Praised.
In general, the report said. the
r. S. A. has been doing . i'm
portant and useful work"
Mr.. Wickard categorically denied
Farm Bureau complaints that the
F. s. A. solicited farmers to seek
loans and paid poll taxes of South
ern farmers to build up a political
pressure group for the department.
The Farm Bureau also had rec
commended reorganization Of the
whole Agriculture Department. Mr..
Wickard said If this were done along
the suggested lines it might dis
organize and disrupt" the depart
ment, interfere seriously with the
war effort and retard the develop
ment Of the agricultural program
for many years"
The collective farming charge. he
said, "is an emotional one" The
cooperative farming enterprises
are intended to find "a workable
pattern of management for small
farmers, with the well-known ad-
vantages that cooperation In agri-
culture can provide" he explained.
He asserted his faith in the prin-
cipal of individual land ownership
and told the committee family
type" farms should be encouraged.
