for granted. But the attack Of the
left wing, while not as vocal, seems
to be just as vehement. There is
proof in press release which prob
ably was released by very few pa
pers. It comes from the peoples
Lobby" in Washington, an institution
which believes in public ownership
of natural resources, basic industries
and essential processing and distrib-
utive agencies"
But the Peoples Lobby" thinks
the Presidents plan is nowhere near
socialistic enough. In fact, it is just
another trick to try to lull the
people into sense of false security
while economic royalists continue,
through ownership, to dictate the
standards Of living of the American
people,"

Little Evidence Seen Of

Rural America Seen as BuIWark Against
Postwar Depression; Nervous Gentlemen
Admit Possibilities of Speculative Wave.

other commodities which just aren't
for sale.
Will that memory fade? Will the
farmers money begin to burn a hole
in his pocket? Will those green pas
lures just oyer the hill begin to lure
him beyond his means?
AS I said, the cautious folk in
Washington are little worried.
These are some of the danger sig
nails they see:
A possible rise in values which
cannot be exactly predicted or ex-
planned. But which is always a pos
sibility, if not now, after the war.
Then there will be an accumulation
Of cash; there will be lot of war
bonds in the safe deposit box or in
the old sock. There will be lot of
husky young sons returning from the
war for whom fathers will want to
buy farms, there will be perhaps an
increased demand for farm products
as new foreign markets are opened
or the United States begins to help
feed starving world.
In some places, there is evidence
Of the tendency toward speculation
now. Lenders in Iowa are offering
money against Iowa farm land as
low as 21a per cent. Speculation in
livestock is going on in some places.
But there is no trend now toward the
wild buying of World War I.
"And," says Mr.. Wilson, ''if the
tremendous gains in the farm in
debtedness situation can be held, the
capacity of the great agricultural
areas of the nation to absorb the
flood of products that will come to
all markets after the war will be
tremendous.
The financial fate of postwar
America is pretty much in the hands
of the farmers. Let's hope he won't
let it (and his spare CASH slip

T.vo-Way Attack
On FBeueridge Plan

When the administration "Bev-
eridge plan" for increased social Sc
curity and postwar adjustment was
made public, congress proceeded to
make it plain that they intended to
pigeon-hole it. The general impress
sion was that it was laid away be-
cause it was too "socialistic' to suit
the right wingers or even some Of
the middle-of-the-roaders.
But do not think that all the op-
position came from one direction.
The first adventure of the new social
security program was, in reality,
very much like the charge of the
Light Brigade" for there were ''can-
mons to right Of them" and also
"cannons to left of them which vol
leyed and Numbered. AS said, the
offensive from the right was taken

Washington
Geonetric City

The other day, I heard on a radio
broadcast the statement that Wash
1ngton was a geometric city. We
have so many squares and circles
and other geometric figures-Dupont
circle that I pass every day, Lafay-
cite square with its historic memo
ries (not to mention it's squirre1s)
where spend my extra seconds; the
Octagon house, built by a wealthy
friend of George Washington, where
society was lavishly entertained in
the early 1905, now preserved by
the American Institute of Architects
which bought it to preserve it's state
ly beauty as we'll as to house their
offices; the sprawling Pentagon
building of the army, "a city with
a roof over it."
With this in mind, was suddenly
impressed with the new patterns i'm
posed on Washington since the war,
the human figures, two of which I
watched over my lunch in restau-
rant the other day. At the next
table were, not circles nor squares
but human loops and bulges.
One was slim man in eyeglasses.
His nose was loop, his smooth hair
was Topped back over his forehead.
His gestures were looped, the back
of the wrist bent and higher than
his fingertips as he dangled his ciga-
rette-I could only think Of the paws
of lackadaisical pup begging for
a sweet.
His partner was Mr.. Bulge. The
bulge began below the wrinkle in his
vest and it was the only thing that
kept him far enough away from the
table to save his bullying nose from
reaching the soup I could hear him
inhaling. His hands bulged like the
padded arms of an overstuffed chair
in hotel lobby. His cheeks were
pink and bullying hams.
Washington is learning new les
sons in human geometry.

Intensive Scientific laboratory and elm.
ical studies proved this startling fact:
proved that additional B Complex Vita
minis are used by the body cells in fever
ish illness. With those deficient in these
vitamins, the feverish stage of cold
demands an extra supply. If you're suf-
fering with the fever of cold, perhaps
your limited diet does not supply enough

taking GROVES B Complex Vitamins
Immediately. Unit for unit, you can't get
finer quality. Potency guaranteed and
they're distributed by makers of famous
Bromo Quinine Cold Tablets. And you
get the wonderful benefits of these amaz-
ing vitamins at sensationally low price.
Only 29e for the regular size. Only $1.00

ply. For such a small cost, you can't
afford to risk deficiency. IF you reach
the feverish stage of cold, start taking

Mortgage Surrey

The department of commerce
made survey of the farm mortgage
situation in 10 states where the bulk
of the food production for war is
being made.
The federal land banks and the
Farm Credit administration which
has been watching this situation like
hawk has plenty of data. One out
of every tenor more than 100,000
--farmer-borrowers from the IL fed
eral land banks and land bank COM
missioner repaid his loan in full in
1912.
In the 10 states the department of
commerce studied, according to the
1910 census, there were more than
three million farms, more than half
of all the farms in the country. Their
total value is well over half the total
value of farm lands in the country.
The survey of this territory, just
made public, shows that in 1910, IL
and AZ, Indebtedness of farmers to
the Farm Credit administration
dropped quarter of billion dol
lars. This includes the drouth area
in Kansas, one of the states hit hard
est by the drouth, 10000 farmers got
out of debt and Kansas borrowers
kept right on paying until they had
deposited a million dollars in the
future payment fund.- to anticipate
labor installments. Similar statistics
could be reeled off for other areas.
One thing that has helped the debt
payment is the inability to get into

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, ID. G..


Washington, d. G.
If you see cheerful glow along
the horizon of rural America these
evenings, you'll know what it is-not
a prairie fire or the neighbours barn,
but the happy light of burning mort
cages.
The farmers of America have had
their lesson. They aren't throwing
their money around this time. They
are paying their debts. They are
becoming the solid citizens of the
nation. They are building a bull
wark against postwar depression
that can save the nation financially,
unless
Right now, the financial health of
rural America is better than it has
been in many long decade. But
certain nervous gentlemen are be-
ginning to worry. Will the farmer
keep to the straight and narrow or
will he be tempted to put down an
option on distant hills which are be-
ginning to turn an alluring green?
Listen to what one of those eau
tious gentlemen in Washington,
Frank Wilson of the department of
commerce, has to say. Why, you
may ask, does the department of
commerce, whose job it is to look
after the welfare of the city man,
worry about the farmer? Well, when
the farmer goes broke, the city man
closes up shop. But, word from
Mr.. Wilson:
While the level of farm values
throughout most parts of the Middle
West has increased 10 to IS per cent
in the last year, and the transfer of
farm properties has been greatly &C.
CELEBRATED, there is, as yet, no evil
dence Of the recurrence of the de-
structive speculation in farm lands
which followed the First World
war"
So far so good. But here is Mr..
Wilson's postscript:
Farm lending authorities through
out that area, however, admit that
conditions are in the making from
which speculative wave might re-
suit unless price control measures
can be effective in holding farm
prices at or only moderately above
present levels"

Addressing the Washington, D.
c., celebration at Wake and Mid
way Halls Wednesday evening,
Mrs, Bethune declared:
This is a grand hour for US.
This is the hour when cooperation
love and sacrifice are so much
needed; when men depend so heav-
lily on the courage and strength of
womanhood."
Comparing the present opportu-
mites for women with those of the
last generation, DR.. Bethune adj
monished young women to make
double use of their training and
opportunities.
"The demand for labor is great, -
she said, "and will continue to be
SO great for many years to come
that industrialists will not stop to
think or inquire who you are or of
what race you are. If you can do
anything well, you will find op-
portunity to put your talent to
wide use"
Dr. Bethune also lauded Miss
jeanette WEIGH, executive secretary
of the Council, for organizing the
national celebration which began
with the distribution of poster
drawn b yE. Simms Campbell,
note dNegro artist.
The celebration was scheduled to
close on July II with I'VE Serve
America" tea at the Lucy D. Slowe
Residence Hall, another Washing
ton, D. c., dormitory for Negro
women war workers. The occa-
sion also will be used to celebrate
DR.. Bethune's birthday which falls
