Fourth Term

Continued from Page One)
discussions Of his potential run
ning.mat There has been much
undercover talk OF drafting speak
er sam Raybufn. OF Texas, for the
40. spot. since very few New
Dealers expect the President, II
renominated, would ask Vice Presl-
dent Henry A. Wallace TO run
again.
The President personally refuses
to discuss the fourth term. His
intimates say he will not even talk
about IL to them. In his news con
ferenees, he evades all questions
that point toward a fourth term.
But yesterday, he was asked the
question direct, after he presented
the newsmen with a long allegorical
description OF his IL years in the
White House.
The direct question nettled him.
He flushed, waved his hands and
declared with emphasis that his
long discussion had nothing to do
with the question asked and that
the newsman was being picayune.
Before that, the President had
pictured the United States as be-
ing very. very sick in 1888. Then,
he said. Doctor New Deal was call
ed in and cured the patient
On Dec. :, 1871, the date OF ia
pans infamous attack on Pearl
Harbor, the President said. the re-
vivifed patient suffered a very
bad accident-broke a hip, had his
legs smashed and an arm or two
broken. Then, Mr. Roosevelt con-
tinued, a surgeon-Doctor Win the
War-was sur @1oned to the bed
side. Now the patient is back on
his feet, the President said, and
getting pretty well.
Different Situation
But the President did not stop
there. He said that after the
war there probably will be a differ
ent situation requiring other solu-
tions. But, he added, many OF the
remedies used to bring the country
back to its feet in the 1930's should
certainly be carried over into a
long-rapge plan, so that the ills
OF 1888 will not recur in the post
war world.
In other words, the President
said the New Deal is still alive and,
il he has his way, will be used To
save the peace In the postwar
world
That is why, most political OBJ
servers in Washington now believe
he will seek a fourth term.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
BY PETER EDISON

Everything explained in the
previous article concerning Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Admins
tration payments and penalties
will 60 on just about as it has
before, regardless of what Con-
gress decides to do about the adj
ministration's second request for
incentive payments" to induce
farmers to plant more acreage in
crops most necessary for the war
effort.
The original idea was that the
incentive payments would sup
plement the triple-A payments,
be administered by Department
of Agriculture's triple-A county
committees, would encourage
the production of needed farm
products, and would work some
thing like this:
In Washington, the overall
requirements for farm products
are calculated by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. These are
the so-called farm goals for the
year. These goals are then
broken down to regional bas-
is, figuring how much wheat
can be produced in the wheat
belt, how much corn in the corn
belt, how much cotton in the
cotton belt, and so on.
The area goals are then brok-
en- down into state goals. To ev-
cry triple-A state board is sent a
detailed estimate of the goals set
for that state.
The state boards divide up
their quotas on county basis
and turn them over to the coun-
ty triple-A committees. The
3000-odd county triple-A COM
mittees in turn break their coun-
ty goals down to township pro.
grams or to programs for groups
of 10 townships or so, and the
township goals are again divided

Poultry raisers aren't expect
ed TO convert to raising spinach,
nor are corn-hog men expected
to shift to flax, though emphasis
everywhere is on reducing acre
age of short staple cotton and
wheat, of which there are sur
pluses. But as equitably as pos
sible, the goals are set for each
and every farm, and it is made a
point of pride to meet each goal.
Finally the program gets
down to Farmer Jones, an aver
age farmer of the great plains
states area, who may have 200
acres in wheat, for which he will
gets $184 triple-A benefit, and
another 200 in which he can
plant war crops. Suppose Far
mer Jones is given quota of so
acres of flax.
Now, before Farmer Jones can
collect his triple-A benefit for
not growing more than his allot-
ment of 200 acres of wheat, he
must plant plant 90 per cent of
the goal set for him on every
war crop allotted to him-flax,
soybeanS, garden truck or what
ever. In this case, flax. Farmer
Jones must plant 80 per cent of
so acres, or AS acres, in flax be-
fore he can collect his $184.
Furthermore, for every acre
less than As planted to flax,
Farmer Jones can be penalized
SIS an acre.
WHERE BONUS COMES IN
And now at long last you
come to this incentive payment
business. Since the government
doesn't want Farmer Jones 70
grow less of any war crop, but
more, it proposes to offer Far
mer Jones a bonus if he will
plant up to 10 per cent of his
quota on any war crop. The
Jones flax acreage quota was SO
acres, and 10 per cent Of that
would be SIS acres. The federal
government would, therefore,
make incentive payments for
flax of $40 an acre on all acre
age above 80 per cent of the So
acre quota.
OF course, it should be under
stood that the incentive pay
ments are over and above any,
thing the farmer gets for selling
the grain in the open market.
Simple, isn't it?
The same 80 per cent to ITO
per cent principle applies on
other war crops for which in
centives are to be offered. The
penalties are straight SIS an
acre on all war crops, though the
incentive payments are to vary.
For soybeans, the incentive is to
be SIS an acre, peanuts $50 an
acre, dry peas SIS an acre, grain
sorghums So an acre, fresh truck
crops $50 an acre, dry beans
$40 an acre, and Irish and sweet
potatoes so cents a bushel for
ell yields above 80 per cent and
below 10 per cent of the revised
sweet potato goal. This last fig
ure may later be converted to an
acreage basis.
The Department Of Agricul-
ture economists who figured out
the incentive payment principle
insist it isn't a subsidy. They
say instead that it's a kind of
crop insurance to protect farm
ers in case they get low yield
in planting some crop they have
had no experience with before,
or in case there is an unfavor-
able growing season this year.
Whatever you call it, is is 60
ing to cost an estimated 500
million. But what's $100 mil

or two. - Maj Gen. Alexander
Vandcgrift, Marine commander

We have regained what Is
known as the strategical initia-

are asked to make is one more
milepost on the road to victory.
