AER0NAUTICAL

The need of aeronautical engineers
in different grades, for a variety of

Physically disqualified aeronautical
trainees will be welcome, since the
physical requirements of the Army

Missoula, Montana
Editor, The Peoples Voice,
In your paper of January 80, Mr.
C. S. Horton of Custer, Mont, asks
a number of questions concerning the
federal all-risk crop insurance pro-
gram and then invites farmers to
stick their necks out, presumably in
answering his questions. This isn't a
matter of liking to stick my neck out
Il probably have as much regard for
a rabbit punch as anybody-but l feel
that someone should at least answer
his questions.
1 won't guarantee that l know all
there is to know about crop insurance
but then, nobody does. It's still a
very new program and like all new
things, there are many points that are
complicated and bit hard to ex-
plain. However, l have been an in
terested follower of this experiment
and l think that know a little about
it, so here goes.
l. 1t has always been my under
standing that 100 percent coverage
was not available because of the ex-
orbitant premium cost that would be
involved. It's the same principle as
in car insurance. For minor acct
dents, such as scratched fender or a
3 Of a bushel below average yield,
it's much easier for the owner to
stand the loss than to pay the pre-
MUM necessary to cover these acct
dents which are much more frequent
than the major calamities. Crop in
surance premium data, figured for rs
percent and SO percent coverage on
the same farm, clearly shows that the
proporitonate coverage rate for the
20 percent of the crop between the
so percent and the rs percent normal
yield is much higher than coverage
for the so percent of the crop between
a total failure and so percent of nor
NAL crop.

War Spending

sumption that war spending will cease
by July 1, 1913. Winston Churchill
believes that it will continue in Eur
ope at least through 1914 and maybe
through 1915 In the Pacific it may
last much longer.
But even if the war is over in the
middle of 1943, it must be clear that
the rate of spending now in process
will have transferred the economy of
the U. S. from private hands to the
government. The longer the war
lasts, the more complete will be the
transfer.
Among the democratic institutions
to which Rep. Scrugham referred in
his comments on the navy bill are
price-profit economy and private en-
terprise. Both aspects of economic
activity will be subordinated to a gov
ernment-managed economy within a
year and half. Within two years
traditional American free enterprise
will be as thoroughly side-tracked as
was German price-profit economy by
the end of 1899.

Trespassing

This practice of FSA, Baldwin told
the committee, is for the purpose of
restoring the self-confidence of the in
dividual and to make him function as
a member of his community. Pay
ment of dues to fraternal organiza-
lions also is included.
1t was obvious that Baldwin's views
weren't in accordance with those of
Senator Byrd, of Virginia, or other
members of congress from the So
called poll-tax states; it is not in the
political interest of these gentlemen
that the poor farmers go to the polls
on election day. Nor were Baldwin's
views in accordance with those of
Edward O'Neal, president of the Farm
Bureau Federation, whose organiza-
ton in a number of states, incident
ally, collects it's dues through AAA.
Baldwin called the turn, in the opin-
ion of many farm observers, when he
told the committee that O'Neal hard
ly represents the interests of the
small farmers of America.
The Department of Agriculture and
the Farm Bureau Federation, in re-
cent years, have been drifting farther
and farther apart, because of differ
ences on matters of fundamental farm
policy. The latest attack by the Blu
reau on FSA, through it's president,
widens the rift.

The reporter disclosed that during

Everybody else on the ship was going

We can assure that reporter that he
would have encountered much greater
difficulty getting by the guards in

a saboteur could blow up in many of

Actions Most Curious


Rep. Hamilton Fish went to great
but unsuccessful lengths when he ap-
peared before Justice Let's to prevent
the Federal Grand Jury here from
further questioning his second secre-
tary, George Hill, in connection with
it's investigation of a nazi propaganda
mill, of which Hill was head. Hill is
under sentence of from to 6 years
for perjury, growing out of that in
vestigation.
What was Fish afraid of?
The jury is trying to find out more
about the operations of this propagan-
da mill; they want to know something
more about the $4,000 that Hill adj
mittedly received during recent
months but about which he refuses
to do any talking, and particularly,
they want to know how Hill happened
to get into this thing to start with.
Above all, federal officers are try
ing to find out who it was that intro
duced Hill to George Sylvester Vier-
eek, registered nazi agent, the reputed
master mind behind the nazi propa-
ganda mill. 1t is reported that Hill
was introduced to Viereck by GER
tain congressman, who gave him in
structions to aid Viereck in the prop
uganda work. Who was that con-
gresham? What congressman had
the say over Hill to direct him about
in that manner?
There is no indication that Hill is
doing any singing "-telling all in an
effort to escape going to prison. His
is said to be: I'm no rat.
I'm not going to tell"
Is Hill going to prison to shield
somebody else?
