among members Of the United
Nations.
The American Ambassador to
Russia has spoken frankly, on his
CWn initiative, in the same man
ner Premier Joseph Stain has
spoken on many other occasions.
The Soviet leader has never
minced his words and has ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the
attitude of the American and
British governments whenever he
thought the situation justified
criticism.
Stain has stated his views
publicly in speeches or state
mentS. On some occasions he has
used the press by making state
mentS to representatives. Of
American agencies in Russia and
he also has been even more
brutally frank in private CONVEX
Sations with British and Ameri-
can high officials who have
visited him at the Kremlin.
Hence, since characteristic Of
democracieS is frank talk and
open diplomacy, the American
Ambassador has thought it ad-
Visable to speak plainly to the
American people and tell them
that the Russian people would be
really our lifelong friends if thev
only knew Of our great effort to
help them and were told of the
tremendous cost Of this help in
lives and materials.
A realization by the Russians
OF the extreme effort made bv
this country mquestionably
would create a greater friendship
and a closer collaboration in the
postwar period. Such a coIlab-
Grafton might prove even more
important after the war is over
than now.
So long as their government
leads the Russian people to be-
lieVe that they alone have had to
bear the hrunt of the war with
out anything more than warm
applause and cheering words
from their associates, their feel
ing toward the United States is

This Changing World
Stondley's Charges on Aid TO Russio Believed

bound to be lukewarm or even
reseutful.
Whether the Russian people,
whose news is restricted by a
stringent censorship, will ever
learn what the American Ambas-
Sador has said publicly is, how
ever, another matter. 1t all de-
pends on whether the Soviet
government VIII permit Admiral
Standley'S declaration to become
known to the masses.
For the sake Of our future
friendship with Russia it is es-
Sential that we shall speak as
bluntly to the Moscow govern
ment as Moscow is talking to us.
For the time being, while we
are fighting the same enemy in
Europe, there is little interchange
Of information between the
United Nations in the west and
their ally in the east With the
exception Of Maj. Gen. Patrick
Hurley, who went to Russia as
President Roosevelt's personal
representative and who managed
by talking bluntly to Premier
Stain to obtain permission to
visit the Russian battle front. no
other American or British officer
ever has been granted such
privilege.
Soviet representatives in this
country on occasion have been
unjustifabIy careful in the re-
ception of Iease-Iend goods.
For instance, there was the
case of large quantities of butter
being sent to Russia by way of
the Pacific. A quantity packed
in cartons was turned down by
the Russian expediter because
some Of the cartons had been
crushed in transit. The Ameri-
can Government had to repack
the damaged packages at a cost
OF $4,000 to the American tax
payer although there was moth
ing wrong with the butter and
any American dealer would have
been glad to accept it for sale
to his customers.
There have been similar incl
dents which have never been
mentioned because of desire
not to create any ideas in this
country that the Russians are
treating us roughly.
There was some resentment in
Washington and London because
Stain in his message on the 25th
anniversary of the Red Army did
not mention that there are Amer
ican and British forces in the
west which have already relieved
the pressure on the Russian
armies by invading Africa and
preparing an offensive in West
ern Europe.
But nothing was said because
there was no desire to increase
the difficulties between the
Kremlin and Washington gov
erTSnents.

ing for the tasks.
But that would have involved
getting busy last fall. not in the
middle Of March. The extension
service Of the Agriculture Depart
ment has had a good program,
based on Well-teSted experience,
for the recruiting, placement and
supervision Of youth, in which
the Department of Education and
the Federal Employment Service
could each have performed an
appropriate function. But Con-
gress has not yet passed the ap-
preparation, because there are
other things in the farm bill that
1t does not like.
To turn loose thousands Of
hastily recruited high school stu
dents without careful selection
and adequate supervision will
accomplish very little. The time
is too late.
Trained farmers are still Ieav-
ing farms for the higher wages
of industries, and being accepted
unquestioningly by the industries.
The priOritleS system through
which farmer has to pass in
order to get the simplest replace
mentS for machinery or plant is
unbelieVably cumbersome, and
waSteful of time and energy.
And it is ridiculously central
lied Decisions that could be
made by a bright stenographer
in any township, according to
clear standards and rules, have
to pass through three or four
buTeaucracieS and be settled
finally in Washington.
The price ceilings are a chaos.
For instance, the price ceiling on
eggs is radically reduced, but the
price of chicken feed is going
up. Apparently no one sees a
connection between the price of
the grain fed to hens and the
price at which eggs can be sold
without loss.
The waste Of food in restau-
rants-where Is to 20 million
people eat daily-is shocking. In
in New York chop house, an
individual can still gobble down
a full pound of beeksteak as one
portion, and bread and butter
are served to people who eat
neither. Under the sanitary
laws this uneaten bread and but
ter is then shoveled in to the
garbage.
The distribution of food stocks
comphcates the problem. Huge
amounts of grain are stored in
the Middle West, and there is no
transportation for it to the East.
One wonders why these stocks
were not redistributed at the out
break of the war, as they would
have been If there had been
people with brains, authority, and
the courage to make decisions.
And the net effect of all the
bureaucratic rules is to dampen
and strangle the enterprise of the
individual instead of releasing
it into creative, productive
channels.
What We need is an overall,
long-range plan, based upon
facts, and not upon propaganda,
and then the mobilization of all
the farming people and COM
munities Of the country to realize
it. Instead of releasing creative
energy the whole machinery Of
farm production is slowing down
from confusion and discourage
ment.

The British nutrition level IS
that of a country that supports
46.000.0O0 people on territory
approximately the size Of New
England and that normally i'm
ports more than so per cent OF
its food. Today. with maxi
mum intensiflcatiOn Of agriCul-
ture. it still imports 40 per cent.
Our own food shortages are
not due to lease lend shipments
to either Britain or Russia. We
are normally huge exporters Of
food. and we are Canalizing eX-
ports to our Allies. But Britain
still gets an enormous percentage
Of her imports from the COM
mOnWealth. The leaSe-lend hear
ings and the Stettinius report
dispel any illusion that Ameri-
cans may go hungry because our
Allies are being fed For in
stance. We have not sent an ounce
of butter to Britain.
If we go hungry, or fall to the
nutrition level of Britain, it will
be wholly because Of abominable
planning in agriculture, Just
now it is fashionable to attack
planners" But the truth is
that our whole war effort is
screaming aloud for really eff
Cient planning. In agriculture
We have had lack of foresight,
knowledge and, above all, lack
OF courage.
AS for foresight, it is only few
months since Secretary Wickard
was gaily carrolling that there
were no food shortages whatever
in sight although the veriest
amateurs with some knowledge
Of the farm situation, were al
ready deeply perturbed.
As for knowledge, the mis-esti-
mate of stocks and the misunder-
standings Of connections between
various price ceilings, food pro-
duction and labor shortages and
labor prices still persists.
AS for courage - instead Of
making an overall production
plan, at the outset, in which all
factors could be taken into &C
count - a publicly announced
plan, furthermore, so that every
farmer in the country would
know what the problem was and
what the demands upon him, We
have met every emergency as it
arose. The authorities were ap-
parently afraid of telling the
whole truth, and have chosen to
wait until the facts were so
obvious that public pressure
would support measures taken.
Now there is crisiS-a genuine
crisis. And spring is here and
still there is no considered and
comprehensive planning.

| ance is an exciting thing which
/ ought to stimulate the national
| spirit and interest citizens of every
! party, creed and color. Aside from
the benefit in recalling the noble
principles Of government which
jefferson enunciated, and which are
today our most cherished posses
sions, there is an incidental aspect
Of the celebration which seems
worth general attention.
For the chief members Of the
committee sponsoring the celebra-
ton are Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Henry A. Wallace, while the main
speaker on the Library program will
be Associate Justice Felix Frank
furter. OF course, these three distin-
guished gentlemen subscribe to the
foresighted wisdom, sound judg-
ment and unselish patriotism Of
Mr.. Jefferson. Otherwise, their par
ticipatiOn would be hypocritical and
absurd. Yet, in 1910, all three sue
cessfullv opposed one of the great
principles promulgated by Mr..
jefferson the observance of which
he felt vital to the safety of the
Republic.
What jefferson Said.
AS Mr., Roosevelt is now actively
striving for a fourth term and, pre-
sumably, has the support Of the
Messrs, Wallace and Frankfurter,
it will be interesting to note how this
fact is reconciled with Mr.. Jeffer-
sons solemn warnings against
third term which apply with vastly
increased force to a fourth term.
Perhaps they will just ignore them
altogether on the theory that the
eloquence of their eulogies will OBJ
scure the inconsistency At any
rate. 1t seems worthwhile to print
again a few of the many words
which Mr., Jefferson wrote on this
subject.
Here they are:
Your appreciation Of the reasons
which induce me to retire from the
honorable station in which my
countrymen had placed me, is the
proof of your devotion to the prin-
clples of our Constitution. These
are wisely opposed to all perpetual
