Roosevelt agreed that the gov
eminent woulo nave to render
greater aid to the small farmer.
PRESIDENT SURPRISED
The President got something Of
a surprise from other farm lead
ers at their general approval. OF
the price subsidy program. He
has been trying to sell this to the
Congressional farm bloc for
months, without success. The
farm leaders now call subsidies by
another name, price support" but
the White House Is not quibbling
over names.
Regardless Of the name, all the
farm spokesman agreed that fed
eral price support subsidies are
needed to insure q bumper farm
crop next year. Even Ed O'Neal,
president Of the Farm Bureau
Federation, one Of the strongest
opponents Of subsidies, concurred.
O'Neil admitted that such q
program would help to head off
initiation, but he caused the Presi-
dent almost to keel out Of his
chair by protesting against the
American Farm Bureaus number
one battle hymn - higher farm
prices.
The Farm Bureau President
declared that II prices went to
high that might react against
the farmer after the war when
prices might fall from high war
time peaks.
NOTE: Albert GosS, master Of
the National Grange, made 1t
clear that while he would go along,
he favored price support subsidies
on a selective basis, for certain
crops, not for all crops on q gen.
eral basis.

Clarifying Postwar Issue.

The intelligence Of the smartest OF the
brainieSt people of America Is tested by
problems that are being raised about the
war, and the way In which we are to treat
Germany, Italy, Japan, and other Axis
nations
There are other big issues in postwar
questions facing the United Nations.
Governor Dewey of New York took bold
stand at the Mackinac Republican Con-
ference when he made the declaration in
favor of postwar military alliance with
Great Britain. The conference didn't go
quite as far, but it did go more than half
way in approval. President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill apparently
think and act alike concerning postwar
partnerships and responsibilities. Mr..
Roosevelt dismissed the COP stand as
battling and by-paSsed the subject in a
press conference, with wise-crack.
There seems to be no question
but that Republicans at Mackinac put a
lot of politics into their foreign policy
discussions. The Democrats and the
Administration are continually stuffing
their foreign policies with Democratic
politics.
However, things are working well and
all the debatable subjects are being de-
bated with the Republicans picking on"
the Democrats and the, Democrats pick
ing on the Republicans If we had a mod
dern Mark Antony handy to white wash
all their political sins and observe; so
are they all, all honorable men," he
would not be far astray in doing justice
to groups of Governors of States, Sena-
tors, Congressman, and other leaders in
public life for the way in which they are
carrying on discussions of all debatable
subjects. 1t is perfectly natural that they
should think differently and reach diff
ferent conclusions.
The more light the politicians can throw
on different international and home
problems the better it will be for all con-
cerned. In fact, there is good reason to
hope for an intellectual campaign in the
next few months that will clarity the
American way of thinking, and make 1t
a little bit easier than it Is at present to
understand the aims, motives - and per-
haps some of the TRICKS that are sure to
be pulled by the Democrat and Republi-
can parties.

THE STORY OF A RESTLESS
TEEN-AGER
New Haven Journal Courier)


More revealing than two-volume
treatise on the problem Of today's
restless teen-agers is the story Of
one Frances Mary Wallace who was
dubbed to death in a Philadelphia
hotel on Saturday. Skull crushed,
a wooden coat hanger crammed
down her throat, she was found
hours after her assailant had fed.
But the murder is not the real
story; the real story Is how a Is
year-old girl came to register with
a man in a sailors uniform at city
hotel as Mr.. and Mrs. McGillick.
The girl had been problem to her
parents for some time. She was
tall, well built, with a great deal Of
self assurance. For two or three
years she had made her friends in
an age-group several years in adj
vance of her own, and as she did
so she became increasing impatient
with home restrictions.
Eager to be out in the world maxi
ing her own way, she left home un-
announced last June and in a few
days turned up at the residence of
her grandparents in Boston. She
was sent home but ran away in
July, and that was the last the
father saw her.
Whose fault is it - that Of par
ents or children when the latter
refuse to listen to the proven les
sons Of experience? Each group Is
inclined to blame the other. Ger
tainly the unhappy consequences are
the anguish OF each, and certainly
the responsibility belongs to each.
When children lose interest In the
home. they throw on the control OF
the home. How TO keep their In
terest IN home people and home
activities when there are 80 many
outside attractions that Is the
question that Is puzzling parents
and causing them 10 compromise

Fifty years is comparatively short
span. This week the Hartford Courant
comments on its editorial page concern
ing the building of the first motor vehi-
Gle in the country to run by gasoline.
This was accomplished by J. Frank
Duryea of Madison, Conn, and his late
brother, Charles E. Duryea. It was an
historic day in Hartford when the birth
ers arrived there in the contraption COM
ing from Springfield, Mass, where it was
built. We have become accustomed to
regard automobiles as a result of the
ingenuity and mechanical skill of mid
westerners, but the Duryea's turned out
their first car in New England. year
later Henry Ford made his first car. A
lot of water, as they say, has gone un-
der the bridge since typical Americans
keeping abreast of the times went about
the countryside swathed in motor wells
and encased in linen busters, calling
forth merrily to those who. happened TO
be in their vicinity, "excuse my dust"

ings is titled

Dogs During Blackouts

Sudden changes arouse the dogs in
terest to the point Of fright. Thunder
and lightning have been aggravations
to the dog since the first member Of his
family roamed the woods. Gunfire,
booming sounds, sudden noises put him
on the alert and # the dog be of nerv-
GUS nature, may throw him into hyster-
ical fright.
Bombings and blackouts in England
presented an interesting study OF the
mental reactions of dogs and other ami
mails. Almost all dogs soon acquired
human habits-become alert, realized
that emergencies were at hand, and acted
self-posseSSed in the shelters; IN truth,
creature Of habit, some dogs started
promptly to the dugouts at the first
sound Of bombings.
The first instruction is for the owner

Next, dogs should be at home during
blackouts and enemy operations over

has q collar but your address or phone
number on a metal tag attached to the
collar.
If dogs must be kept outdoors, tie
them up in the yard, though it is lar
preferable to have them indoors and IN

may cause trouble when everyone has

Give the dog heavy SedativeS such as

similar product can be given in extreme
cases to put the dog into temporary

Court Criticism

The battle for free press in the United
States has been marked by many clashes
between public officials-working as a
rllle through the courts-and the press.
IN these battles many an editor has gone
10 jail in support OF his principles
Many judge has assumed to decree
the word of court is beyond question or
even unfriendly discussion, and has as
serted his view by consigning a critical
editor to jail for contempt The battle is
amending. It is going on today.
The most recent outburSt occurred in
Alabama, where judge resented criti-
cisin OF one of his decisions by the Mobile
Press and Register. The judge sum-
noned the publisher, Ralph B. Chandler,
found him guilty fined him $500 and
sentenced him to jail for six hours. The
publisher appealed and won his liberty
The appeal judge stated the clear and
long established rule in such cases. He
held that before a man can be ad-
judged guilty of contempt for criticising
q Judge or court his criticism must relate
to a cause or matter still pending and
undecided"
The press and the higher courts agree
that public criticism of cause which is
still pending Is prejudicial to the best
interest of justice The risk Of influence
ing court or jury is great. The cause
should be tried in court and only the
evidence and the arguments admitted
upon proper auspices should be con-
sidered.
But to extend this principle to the
completed action of the court is to endow
the courts with immunity from criticism
which would promote judicial tyranny
in unworthy hands and set up an an
tagonism in the peoples minds. This
antagonism existed when the Constitu-
ton was adopted, and the people took
care Of it in the Bill of Rights. Courts
should know that by this time.

Martial Law

Army-Navy insistence upon the neces-
sity for martial law in Hawaii is skill
full smoke screen to divert attention
from the attitude shown by Lieutenant
General Richardson in defiance of the
district court for the territory.
The point made by us, and by many
others, Is not that martial law is not need
ed. We don't know, aid are willing to con-
cede that probably 1t is. We merely sug-
gested that General Richardson could
have protected his rights and the terri
tory's security by letting appeals courts
sustain the suspension Of the writ Of
habeas corpus, instead of threatening to
jail Judge for doing his civil duty.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-09-22

Such criticisms undermine pub
lie morale in wartime, the Presi-
dent told his guests, adding;
"NO doubt Mr.. Hoover is get
ting q lot Of glee out Of en-
phasizing the shortages Of meat
and other commodities, which
we all have to put up with in
these times"
The President dwelt on Hoover
for some time. He endeavored,
while not saying so directly, to
get over the point that his Re-
publican predecessor was attempt
ting to make political capital out
Of the war privations.
Roosevelt was in fighting trim
all through the conference. The
first thing he told the farm
group spokesman was that he was
disappointed about the "disunity"
in farm ranks over price subsidies.
Subsidies, he said, "were necessary
both to prevent initiation and to
boost the production Of vital farm
crops.

ton, president Of the National
Farmers Union, but won't stop

One of the opportunities which
the italian surrender presents to

That suggestion is not intended
as an indirect plea for the defer

Rather, 1t Is directed to taking that

The gifts include necklaces, en-
broidery, pipes, laces, opal and to-
paz, jewelry, metal and leather

at the post exchange, watches are
ono of the most popular, for they
are imported to North African
camps direct from Switzerland.
OF course, this does not mean that
a large stream Of gifts should not
flow the other way, for the exiled
