International Control

Church Counei|R Report
True Community Held
Essential for Just
And Lasting Peace
by the Associated Press

by the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Dec. IA sugges-
ton that military establishments
should be controlled internationally
after the war was considered today
by the Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America.
This was one of ID principles for
Just and durable peace" submit
ted by a special council committee
headed by John Foster Dulles of
New York.
I'VE believe that military estab-
llShments should be made subject
to law under a community of ma
TONS" the committees report said.
For one or more nations to be fore
IDLY deprived of their arms while
other nations retain the right of
maintaining or expanding their
military establishments can only
produce an uneasy peace for a linn
tied period"
True Community Essential.
A true community of nations is
essential, the committee held, be-
cause of their interdependence.
"A world of irresponsible, COM
peting and unrestrained national
sovereignties, whether acting alone
or in alliance or in coalition, is a
world of international anarchy"
the report continued. TT must
make place for higher and more
inclusive authority"
Concerning the necessity of eco
nomic security for lasting peace, the
report said:
such security, nationally and
internationally, involves, among
other things, the use of material re-
sources and the tools of production
to raise the general standard of liv-
Ing. Nations are not economically
self-sufficient and the natural
wealth Of the world is not evenly
distributed. Accordingly, the pos
session of such natural resources
should not be looked upon as an op-
portunity to promote national ad-
vantage or to enhance the pros
perlty of some at the expense of
others. Rather, such possession is
a trust to be discharged in the gen.
eral interest.

Committee Named
To Ration Farm
Machinery Here
Agriculture War Board
Sets Up Body To Pass On
County's Farm Needs

Il 49,
The Montgomery County Agri-
culture War Board has announced
the appointment of a committee to
ration farm machinery. 1t is COM
posed of Thomas C. Darby, J. w.
Jones and Thomas M. Garrett. AL
ternates to the committee are
Robert H. Miller, Jr., and Wilson
G. Poole.
In establishing the rationing
committee, the War Board pointed
out that farm machinery is CLASH
fled into three main groups. First
are the items rationed, known as
group "A"; second, items which
the farmer must certify are neces-
sary to his 1912 farm operation
but are not rationed; third, items
on which there, is apparently no
scarcity and which may be pur-
chased without any formality.
Farmers will be most interested in
machinery classified in group "a"
and subject to rationing. They are (:
Combines, corn pickers, shredders,
grain elevators. feed grinders, hay
balers, pickup balers, tractors lin
GLIDING garden tractors), disc har-
rows, grain drills, manure spread
ers, fertilizer spreaders, lime
spreaders, milking machines, milk
coolers, potato diggers, beet filters
and beet leaders.
According to regulations, mach
inery will not be authorized for
purchase if it is to replace sim
liar machine than can be repaired
and made suitable for use. Furth-
er, the old machine must be traded
in or Immediately disposed of as
scrap metal. In case of the larger
type of machines, the purchaser
must agree to make all possible
use of it by doing custom work or
renting to neighbors when it is not
in use on mis- own farm.
Inasmuch as the manufacturers
are to make only a certain amount
of farm machinery, which is far
less than farmers would like to
buy, it will be necessary for an APP
plicant to know where he can buy
the implement when he makes ap-
plication. Otherwise, the applica-
ton is not eligible for considera-
ton.

Local Campaign; Big Turnout Expected

Friday afternoon. October 9, has
been set as the date for the scrap
rally which will climax Rockville's
salvage campaign. The place: the
Milo Theatre.
The rally will offer residents of
Rockville and the upper county
who wish to do their part in the
war effort a chance to do just that
and to enjoy a special matinee
moving picture program at the
same time. Through the coopera-
ton of Sidney Lust, owner of the
Milo and other theatres in the
Washington area, the only admis-
sion to be charged those attend
ing the rally will be the donation
of scrap metal or rubber for the
national salvage campaign. A fea-
ture film, comedy and other short
attractions will be shown on the
Milo screen, Mr.. Lust announced.
All persons, young and old, are
urged to attend the rally, and the
affair is being timed so that school
children may be present. For the
benefit of the latter, the theatre
management will issue passes in

going to classes. The scrap will be
placed on the lot adjoining the
theatre, from which it will be col
lected by the Rockville Salvage
Committee, headed by Charles w.
Prettyman.
Mr.. Prettyman said today that
he hopes the rally will put Rock
vile and neighboring communities
cover the top" in the scrap drive.
Contributions already collected in
this vicinity have been gratifying,
ne declared, but much more still
must be collected to meet the urg-
ent needs of the nations war in
dustries. That is the story all over
the country, he declared.
Scrap of any size or weight will
be accepted at the scrap rally and
will serve as admission to the
theatre. Persons having donations
too heavy for them to carry in by
hand or car, may attend the rally
anyhow. They need Only notify
the theatre management of the
location of the scrap and arrange
ments will be made to pick it up.
So far, a total of 1850 pounds of
scrap has been delivered to the

and 1914 which cannot be met
by any "carry over" effort at
rationing. Either we will have
abundant meats, foods, dairy
products, fruit, eggs and poul-
try or we won't. 1t will not
come suddenly. 1t will appear
gradually and worsen as months
roll by. A herd of dairy cattle
or a hennery filed with laying
hens, cannot be scuttled one
month and replaced the next.
It takes years to replace a pro-
ducing herd Of cows and at least
year to replace laying hens.
But what is the farmer to do?
He can't be expected to carry
on if his "outgo" is more than
his "income." Nor can he carry
on if he can't get help. Cows
have to be MIXED twice a day
and when the dairy farmer
finds that he cannot get labor
he backs up a truck and sends
good dairy cows to the butcher.
That's condition which should
be taken into ac-
Most count The farmer
Patriotic should not be given
OF All a free ticket to
high prices but
neither should he be either
worked to death or forced to
produce our food essentials
without a return comparable
to other citizens.
The farmer has always been
a patriot. He has been the
backbone of the country. His
rugged individualism" makes
him the most independent and
intelligent citizen (as a group)
in America. He does not ask
more than other groups. An
he asks is that he be given a
fair chance.
