same time the need for production
is going to be as great in 1943 as
it has been in 1912, and may be
greater, depending on the fortunes
of war"
Up to now, Mr.. Wickard said, agri-
culture had offset large part of
it's manpower loss through the ex-
banded use of women, children and
older persons, but he added that "this
cannot meet the situation much
longer"
Neither" he said, "can the prob
lem be met by paying higher wages.
We must recognize that farmers SIM
ply cannot pay wages to compete
with war industry.
Paying higher wages, he said,
would force food costs higher and
start a new "vicious circle" of infla-
tionary wage and price increases.
General Hershey and his aides in
the selective service national head
quarters cannot escape their share
of the responsibility for any food
shortage that may occur. Since the
selective service act was put into
effect, scores of Senators and Repre-
sentatives have labored with the gen.
eral and his assistants in an attempt
to secure more reasonable working
of the act, as it applies to farm
labor. Repeatedly they have assured
us that new regulations were being
drawn up that would defer the call
ing of young men who are badly
needed on our farms and about the
only concession that they have made
to date was the order deferring farm
labor from the middle of July to
September l. While that was help
full it did not remedy the situation.
Price Control Passes House.
Needless of the Presidents bid for
parity ceilings on farm prices, the
House on Wednesday of last week
voted to include all farm labor costs
in determining parity prices, which
are fixed at 1121a per cent, in the
measure.
The President and his advisers are
determined that farm labor costs shall
not enter into the determination of
production costs. Just why, it is
hard to understand because labor
costs are figured into the total cost
on all other war production work.
The President appears to be very
solicitous over wages in the indus
trial field but shows little interest
in the wage levels being paid on our
farms. The action of the House,
which may be ratified by the Senate
before this letter appears in print, is
being denounced from one end of the
country to the other as being infla-
tionary. Just why the inclusion of
farm wages in a price fixing bill
should be more inflationary than
similar action in the industrial field
is mystery to many of us. Per-
haps the President will tell us why
in one of his early freside chats
I am thinking it is going to take
lot of explaining and if he puts it
over the President will need all his
power of persuasion.
In the opinion of many, the best
solution lies in freezing wages and
prices at the September Is levels.
The farmer is agreeable to this but
labor leaders are not enthusiastic
for the plan. Many believe that the
President will veto the price fixing
bill as it finally comes from Con-
gress and will take matters into his
own hands on October l, as he
threatened to do in his Labor day
speech. One thing is sure, the ad-

ministration prepared price control
bill, which was passed by Congress
early in January, is wholly made
quate.
Would Adjourn Politics.
Harry Hopkins, special assistant
to the President, one day last week
expressed the view that it is "unim-
portant" whether Democrats or Re-
publicans are elected to Congress this
fall but that it is of vital import
ance that the American people be
represented in Congress by men who
will support the nations war pro-
gram. The country generally will
endorse Mr.. Hopkins statement. With
a war on our hands that is going to
tax our strength and resources, it is
unfortunate that the people should
be compelled to go through an ener-
waiting campaign that will claim the
attention of the highest as well as
lowest. Politics should be adjourned
for the duration but, of course, il
will not be for there are too many
who are making plans for 1914.
Perhaps that is to be expected in a
democracy.

their caps down over their eyes,
The boys protested, the witness
said, but Minis kept playing with
them until they left the counter
and went into the BUS terminal to
buy tickets. Minis followed them
and again pulled at the boys caps
When they protested Minis is said
to have asked them What are you
going to do about it?"
The witness said Minis then made
a pass at one OF the Haywood boys
and a fight ensued. A crowd gath
cred around the combstants and
the management called the police
who dispersed the crowd, but not
before Minis had received a long
cut across his head.
Negroes On Way to Buffalo
The Haywood boys. it was said,
had recently received notice that
they would be indicted into the

Manager Says Soldiers Are
Bad Actors"
In an exclusive interview with a
Michigan Chronicle reporter. the
terminal manager said, Monday,
that the general run Of soldiers
using the terminal were inclined
to be IBID actors"
Most people try to be nice to
soldiers. but they seem 10 think
-theY-can- do anything and get away
with II because they have on a
uniform he said. II have more
complaints about soldiers than
know what 10 do with. and that is
why l asked that M.P's be assigned
to the terminal on days that large
groups OF soldiers are on leave he
added
Il don't want to give the impress
si6h that all soldiers are trouble
makers the manager said. Most
OF them are fine boys, but when
they get few drinks in them they
seem to think they own the whole
country and become abusive 10

gro boy was only protecting him
self and nobody can blame him for
that" he added.
