attitude of many Federal officials
toward the farmer is antiquated 1t
is family challenging, somewhat
suspicious attitude. The official
dares the farmer to prove he really
needs a new tractor part Some
times that takes two weeks.
What the Government needs out
here are "expediters," on the Henry
Kaiser models the kind of official
who would get man new tractor
part by sundown, and if he couldn't
get it, would make it; the kind of
official who couldn't sleep if he knew
there was broken-down tractor
in the county.
Some of the farm talk is uncon-
vincing. The average Rush County
farmer will pretend to be going
broke. But just offer to buy his
farm, and then you see a shrewd
man smile. The price of Rush Coun-
ty land has crept up from $75 an
acre to $780,
PenrOd Plays on Streets.
This is eating country. Corn
reaches for miles. 1t is raised for
the local hogs, for lean Texas steers
brought here to feed out" and for
Western sheep, too. The county
smiles, and Penrod plays on every
street. You can smell the fragrant
fields in the rooms of the Lollis
Hotel, and the land about has lush
and admirable look.
But this is no setting. right now,
for a bucolic novel. 1t is big busi-
ness; the tensions of big business are
here, quite as much as in downtown
New York. A farmer says: "I1l get
in 10000 bushels of corn this sum-
mer." You realize, suddenly, that
his 10000 bushels of corn are worth
$25.Ooo. And half-penny change in
the price of meat can kill him.
Mr.. Willkie is. as I say, a happy
man. In one corner of his $500
acres we talk about China. But if,
In Rush County, you can't see China,
and can only see the shifting menace
OF the corn meat price relationship,
life can be very snappish. The bat
tie news, for these men, Is on the
livestock pages, and if they.are iso-
lationist, that may be because their
lives are compressed within the mar
row limits of this perpetual gamble.

Ludwig Calls
| U.S.. Women
|Unromuntic
BY HELEN LONyBARD.

The distinguished refugee au-
thor of a number of biographies,
which included that of Jesus of
Nazareth, Bismarck, Napoleon and
Franklin d. Roosevelt, has his light
er moments at the dinner table.
MIR. Emil Ludwig, who has been
visiting in Washington, is not un-
willing to turn from international
politics to discourse on the Amer
lean woman as compared with the
European type.
Mr.. Ludwig's observations about
the feminine sex in the United
States, expressed in a mixture of
French, German and English, are
not entirely on the fiattering side.
Many of his conclusions have been
reached by other foreign observers.
some of whom have gone so far
as to marry an American girl to
gather more complete documenta-
tion.
The heart of Mr.. Ludwig's re-
proach is that the American wom-
an does not give the man the i'm
preston that he is the ''be all' and
"end alr' of her existence.
BY failing to do this she fails to
interest the man sufficiently to exert
an important influence through him
on politics or world affairs.
The right to vote, according to Mr..
Ludwig, Is snare and a delusion
which has given the American
woman the impression that her
voice is being heard, but which has
really robbed her of her oldest
weapon, the ability to stir men to
thought and action. r
In addition to the handicap of
political emancipation the Ameri-
can woman, according to this dis
tinguished German observer, Is q
cold and unromantic creature.
Evidently the alarming tales of
a wartime relaxation of morals are
somewhat exaggerated to the Eu-
ropean mind, because the young
couples on our beaches, though not
overclad, are described as quite mat
ter-of-fact and more interested IN
acquiring sun-tan than In each
other. Women who heard Mr.. Lud-
wigs informal after-dinner an
alysis urged him to put his thoughts
in book form and promised him q
large feminine reading audience
should he desert the more classical
form Of literature in order to create
a living portrait of the American
woman as seen through the eyes
Of European.

ton. Mr.. Roosevelt was not run
ming in 1888 and hence he could af-
ford to go after the scalps of dis
sident Democrats. Next year. in
contrast, he will need all the sup
port he can get. And just as Ger
tainly, the chance of conservative
Democratic Senators coming back,
particularly in the North and West,
will be enhanced if Mr. Roosevelt is
at the head of their ticket and pull
ing for them.
1t is significant in the same con-
nection that Senator Glass of Vir-
ginia, neStor of the anti-New Deal
ers, recently appealed to the country
to quit kicking about home front ir-
ritations. and to unite behind the
President.
President Roosevelt has displayed
remarkable ability to get Senator
Glass back into line whenever he
really needed him. The most re-
markable instance in this line was
the issuance in 1886 of a special
half dollar with Glass face on it,,
shortly after which the Senator de-
livered radio speech urging

South Is Uncertain.
There have been many evidences
that President Roosevelt right now
is chiefly concerned over the atti-
tude of the South and the Southern
border States. Senators Glass,
Bailey and Clark are key men in
both of these regions. The Demo-
Gratis have virtually written off the
farm States of the Northerly Mis-
sissippi Valley, including Illinois,
Minnesota and Wisconsin, which
they succeeded in holding in 1910.
They expect that Ohio, in the semi
industrial Middle West, will follow
Michigan and Indiana into the Re-
publican camp. But they hope to
win by carrying the South and the
Southern border States solidly and
holding enough additional electoral
votes along the Eastern seaboard
and in the Far West to pile up
The biggest single question mark
in this equation presently is the
border States. In 1912, Missouri
went Republican in a big way, Okla
homa and West Virginia elected
Republican United States Senators
and Maryland's previously solid
Democratic congressional member.

Even Kentucky recently has been
rated uncertain.
Without these States it is very
doubtful if President Roosevelt can
be reelected, and that is why he
is currently playing up to such in
grained bourbons as Senators Glass.

vised the Finnish government to
ask Moscow for peace terms.
In these diplomatic quarters,
the developments are regarded
as further indication that
peace conversations between Rus
sia and Germany, which have
been reported at intervals since
last January, may have reached
a point at which both countries
want to have a clean slate for
negotiations.
Had Ambassador Litvinoff been
replaced some months ago, the
step would have been considered
merely as an internal affair of
the Kremlin. 1t might have been
caused by Stalin's displeasure
with Mr.. Litvinoff's work or it
may have been that the foreign
office wanted to keep in Moscow
a man with such a wide expert
ence on European affairs as Mr..
Litvinoff.
Seen as Hint to Allies.
The fact that the Soviet gov
ernment asked the consent of the
United States for Andrei Gromy-
ko as Ambassador to the United
States only last week has a diplo-
matte Significance. 1t is re-
garded as another Russian DEM
onstration against what Moscow
calls the "slow-moving strategy"
of the Allies in connection with
the second front in Europe.
Coming as it did at a time
when President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill were
putting the last touches to the
Allied strategy in Europe and
Asia, it is impossible not to read
in Moscow's movement a great
political significance.
The Russian high command is
we'll aware of the fact that. re-
gardless of how much it may in
sist on an invasion in Western
Europe now, it is physically i'm
possible for the Allies to under
take such an operation before
next spring.
Hence, the gesture" which was
started with the replacement of
Ambassador Maisky in London by
an insignificant foreign office
official, and which was followed
by the appointment of Mr..
Gromyko, young professor of
economics with only few years
diplomatic experience, to the i'm
portant post in Washington, can
not be considered here as mere
routine.

This Changing World -

AiIlpaSSSaQOr TO the united
States in 1941 much emphasis
was placed on the fact Premier
Stain did us an honor when he
fished out of retirement the No.
l diplomat with such wide expe-
rience in international affairs
and such well-established repu-
tation for favoring Russian
American collaboration.
Emphasis Now Reversed.
The same emphasis in reverse
Is now being attributed to his
transfer to Moscow and his re-
placement by an inexperienced
and unknown official.
Several years ago the appoint
ment of Mr.. Gromyko to the
Washington post would have
stirred no comment. The Soviets
have an elastic diplomatic corps.
Young men are given important
jobs because the Kremlin leader
believes in giving a difficult job
to an unknown individual who
may thus prove his mettle.
But it is not possible to place
the same Interpretation at this
time on the substitution of Mr..
Litvinoff by an obscure foreign
Office official.
On the other hand, the Berlin
government is reliably reported
to have told the Finnish govern
ment to offer peace terms to Rus
sia on almost any conditions ac-
ceptable to Moscow.
For several weeks, the Germans
have stopped all shipments of
food to Finland. The three Ger
man divisions which are reported
to be on Finnish territory are
being withdrawn as rapidly as
possible. Berlin no longer is in
terested in the fate of Finland.
According to available reports,
the German general staff, which
is now conducting the Reich's
foreign policy as well as it's STRAIT
egy, wants to be free of any en-
tanglements when, and If, Rus-
sia is willing to accept peace.
Peace Basis Seen.
According to some reports.
which are considered reliable be-
cause they come from Communist
sources in the United States, it
appears that Moscow would be
inclined to discuss peace terms
with a German "military-demo-
cratic government" after all the
top-ranking Nazis have been
eliminated on the basis that the
Nazi troops would withdraw to
the old Russian German border.
This would leave the Reich
Silesia, with its rich coal mines.
The fate of Poland and the Baltic
states and, for that matter, the
fate of the whole of Eastern
Europe will be placed in the
hands of Russia.
The Berlin government has
undertaken the defense of the
smaller nations only when it
suited it's purpose. But it never
has believed that small nations
should exist. Now that Finland
might be a bothersome thorn in
any possible negotiations between
the Reich and Russia, its govern
ment is being strongly urged to
get out of the way before it is too
late and make the best out of
bad situation.

Talked With Willkie.
I have had two days of good talk
with Mr.. Willkie, fine talk, long talk.
Maybe 7 can sum up the local politi-
cal situation best by saying that the
average Rush County farmer you
meet hereabouts is SO sore at the
administration that he embarrasses
the head of the opposition party.
The cornf1elds smile in the sun.
But if farmer cannot get a new
tire, and his farm is a mile long,
and he has to walk the length of it
and back four times a day, the
farmer does not smile.
Much of the political trouble out
here, would say, is on the admin
istrative level and not on the policy
level The people who have to give
an okay when farmer wants to
widen his barn take a month to
two months to make up their minds.
In the first place, it is organically
impossible for a farmer to see what
the devil business it is of anybody's
whether he widens his barn or not.
In the second place, he has a herd
OF cattle on his hands, and he
doesn't know whether to sell them
out and get rid of his problem or
whether to keep them and hope
that he'll get his okay in time to
build q winter shelter for them. The
point is important, for if he can
keep them until next year and feed
them out, he can put 500 pounds on
each animal. And he hears tell we
need meat. But the letter does not
come.
