FARM EDITOR
POINTS A WAY

IN AN UNUSUAL STATEMENT
in the Farm Journal, Wheeler Nc
Millen, editor, points way, through
the application of power and sci
ence, to that world prosperity and
peace hoped for in the future.
He says that but little more than
one-tenth of the people of the world
have profited, as has America, from
the advances made in the develop
ment of power and science. As our
gift to the underprivileged peoples
of the world, he proposes that we
aid them in the application of these
two elements as a means of raising
their standards and as a means of
increasing world markets for prod
ucts.
The idea Mr.. McMillen advances
is practical, but decidedly revolution
ary. It would call for higher ideals
than a selfish world has evinced at
any time in the past. It is not an
easy or a quick time job, but it is
possible. To attempt it, we need a
wiser, more far-seeing statesman
ship than we have known since the
Founding Fathers wrote our Amer
lean Constitution and our American
Bill of Rights. It would mean the
death of international selfshness and
exploitation of the weak by the
strong. We might pay price for
time, only to reap rich reward
In the future.
1t can be done if we will forget
and forego partisanship and utilize
to the fullest the best minds, the
wisest practical craftsmanship the
nation possesses. In one brief state
ment: Wheeler McMillen has point
ed the way to that practical idealism
we have hoped to find.

HIGH COST

HIGH COST
IT TAKES the revenue received
from 80 of the new lower bracket
income taxpayers, paying an aver
age of S73 each, to pay for the en-
p1oyment of one surperf1uous bureau
clerk in Washington. The govern
ment now has more than 31s million
civilian employees. That is 31z times
the number employed during World
War I. At least one million of these
employees, representing the tax re-
ceipts of 5000 of our new taxpay-
ers, could, and should be dispensed
with.

RUSSIA DEMANDS OF LEND
LEASE" that it be provided with
good American butter and will not
accept oleomargarine as a substi-
tute. So our butter goes to Rus
sia and we eat the substitute. If
American butter has anything to do
with the fight Russia is putting up
against our common enemy, the
Huns, we can well afford to accept
the "oleo" and give Russia the
butter.

Little Evidence Seen Of =
Farm Land Speculation y
Rural America Seen as BuIWark Against Post

Possibilities of Speculative Wave.

as new foreign markets are opened
or the United States begins to help
feed a starving world.
In some places, there is evidence
of the tendency toward speculation
now. Lenders in Iowa are offering
money against Iowa farm land as
low as 2h per cent. Speculation in
livestock is going on in some places.
But there is no trend now toward the
wild buying of World War l.
"And," says Mr.. Wilson, "if the
tremendous gains in the farm in
debtedness situation can be held, the
capacity of the great agricultural
areas of the nation to absorb the
flood of products that will come to
all markets after the war will be
tremendous.
The financial fate Of postwar
America is pretty much in the hands
of the farmers. Let's hope he won't
let it (and his spare cash) slip
through his fingers.

Washington-
Geonaetric City

broadcast the statement that WASH

have so many squares and circles
and other geometric figures-Dupont

Octagon house, built by a wealthy
friend Of George Washington, where
society was lavishly entertained in
the early 1905, now preserved by
the American Institute of Architects
which bought it to preserve its state
ly beauty as well as to house their
offices; the sprawling Pentagon
building Of the army, ga city with
a roof over it,"
With this in mind, was suddenly
impressed with the new patterns i'm
posed on Washington since the war,
the human figures, two of which /
watched over my lunch in a restau-
rant the other day. At the next
table were, not circles nor squares
but human loops and bulges.
One was slim man in eyeglasses.
His nose was a loop, his smooth hair
was stopped back over his forehead.
His gestures were looped, the back
of the wrist bent and higher than
his fingertips as he dangled his ciga-
rette-I could only think Of the paws
Of a lackadaisical pup begging for
a sweet.
His partner was Mr.. Bulge. The
bulge began below the wrinkle in his
vest and it was the only thing that
kept him far enough away from the
table to save his bullying nose from
reaching the soup could hear him
inhaling. His hands bulged like the
padded arms of an overstuffed chair
in hotel lobby. His cheeks were
pink and bullying hams.
Washington is learning new les
sons in human geometry.

TDo-Way Attack
On 'Beveridge Plan

When the administration's "Bev-
eridge plan" for increased social Sc
curity and postwar adjustment was
made public, congress proceeded to
make it plain that they intended to
pigeon-hole it. The general impress
sion was that it was laid away be-
cause it was too "socialistic" to suit
the right wingers or even some Of
the middle-of- the-roaders.
But do not think that all the op-
position came from one direction.
The first adventure of the new social
security program was, in reality,
very much like the "Charge of the
Light Brigade" for there were "can-
mons to right of them" and also
"cannons to left of them" which vol
leyed and Numbered. AS said, the
offensive from the right was taken
for granted. But the attack Of the
left wing, while not as vocal, seems
to be just as vehement. There is
proof in a press release which prob
ably was released by very few pa
pers. It comes from the Peoples
Lobby" in Washington, an institution
which believes in public ownership
of natural resources, basic industries
and essential processing and distrib-
utive agencies"
But the Peoples Lobby" thinks
the Presidents plan is nowhere near
socialistic enough. In fact, it is just
"another trick to try to lull the
people into a sense of false security
while economic royalists continue,
through ownership, to dictate the
standards Of living of the American
people"

Because there are still 100000
women with no children under Is
who are not working, it is my con-
viction that mothers of children
under two years should not work
away from home; that mothers of
children between two and six should
do war work only under favorable
circumstances. Such circumstances
would include:
Adequate child-care facilities.
In many industrial centers - even
in plants themselves - we have an
increasing number of child-care CEN
tiers ranging all the way from nursery
schools to supervised. after-school
activities for older children. We need
many more under the expert guild
ance of trained workers before any
mother can confidently feel free to
leave her children for 10 hours day.
Dependable relatives who are
not only willing but competent to
serve as foster parents in the home
during the working period might
solve this problem for many mothers.

N MY city, Mrs. S. has quit her
job in the war plant. She dis
covered that her seven year
girl hadn't had a midday meal in
three weeks, because she developed
an acute aversion to coming into the
deserted house all by herself.
Mrs. L. quit because her two-year-
old seemed to be catching a cold
every other week and obviously
needed her attention.
Mrs. T., mother of four, found she
couldn't stand the physical and men
tai strain of double job. And Mrs.
L. was discharged because her little
boys repeated illness compelled her
to stay home too often.
Many other mothers in this hum
ming industrial city have joined
these four women in forsaking the
bench and assembly line Some found
the work too hard. Some were dis
appointed in the arrangements made
for the care of their children. Some
simply discovered that war work
isn't as glamorous as they thought.
Meanwhile, the vast majority carry
on - while management racks its
brains over their mounting absentee
ism for essential Saturday shopping
and household duties, which just
don't get done in the time available.
No Fixed Rules
DoEs this mean that the idea of
employing mothers is a failure?
Not necessarily. Certainly some
contingencies make it necessary for
them to work during this war emer-
gency. But the determination of
whether or not mother should work
ought to be based on a careful con-
sideration of her individual circum-
stances - rather than on slogans and
