MANPOWER NEEDED
FOR AMERICAN FARMS

IF THERE is ANY MAN in the
nation who knows the job that lies
ahead for the American farmer in
providing food for a starving world,
that man is Herbert Hoover. He
tells us there will be SOC, 000, 900 peo-
pie for whom food must be ready
when the last shot in this worldwide
conflict has been fired. It means
millions of tons of grain, fats and
meats, and of all those things pro-
duced on American farms.
It is to the American farm a starv-
ing world will turn for succor. To
meet that call is big and impor-
tant job, of as much, or more impor-
lance than providing war equipment
while the war lasts. Meeting the
demand will mean the possibility of
preserving world civilization. Fail
ure to meet it will result in anarchy.
Right now the American farmer
must have the opportunity to prepare
for the job which lies ahead. He
must have help-the needed man.
power-to cultivate every possible
acre, to raise every possible food
animal, and he must have an inme-
diate cash market for what he pro-
duces. To provide that manpower
and that cash market is the job of
government.

Spanish Colonies Revolt
Caused Monroe Doctrine

In the days of President Mon
roe there was considerable appre-
hension that European interests
might so interfere with South
American states as to menace the
security of the U. S. So Monroe
declared that, in the American
continents, any attempt to exploit
any territory for European coloni-
zation would be held an unfriendly
act.
Spain was the country directly
concerned, because of the South
American Spanish colonies that
had revolted. 1t was feared that
Spain might transfer her claims
to Stronger Power"
So the Monroe Doctrine has
come to mean that Europe must
never interfere in the Americas.
