(a) President Roosevelt's order that

adopted. OBJ Economic Sterilization
Director James F. Byrnes' prigram
stipulating that there shall be no in
crease in wages except to rectify
gross inequities" and "sub-standard"
wages. Mr. Byrnes also said that
changing the parity formula would af
feet farmers adversely in the long
run, that farm and dairy workers who
had gone into industry should be
urged to return to agriculture and
that recalcitrants should be deprived
of their deferred draft status. All
Americans were urged to obey price
controls and rationing regulations as
part of their contribution to winning
the war. High taxes, Mr.. Byrnes said,
are absolutely necessary, but he be-
lieves firmly in limiting profits to
prevent exorbitant costs to consum-
ers and government alike.

able to pay it before the end of the
year.
Farm Credit Gives Help
81 shall never forget two things:
First, that he federal government had
provided a Farm Credit Administra-
ton, to enable farmers, through their
cooperative associations, to secure
credit to build such facilities for their
own use and ownership, and, Second,
the positive announcement that you
gave us to go into this building pro
gram. 1t was very comforting and
reassuring at the time that you and
your associates showed such confid-
ence in our proposed undertaking and
it had a decidedly favorable effect on
our judgment to make the dive.
Crops came through. We have
been able to use the facilities to full
capacity, to the great benefit of the
producers who support them. We
barely got in ahead of priorities. Ad-
ditional facilities were never so need
ed as at the time these were avail
able for use. Looking back, | just
don't know what we would have done
without them. The elevator program
has been a boon to the producers who
support the cooperative movement
and the unusual success has been one
of the most encouraging experiences
that our loyal farmers have ever ex-
perienced. Everywhere | go, the at
titude of our patron members is that
we are on our way.
GTA Comes Through Again
81 know that you, because of the
and even some risk that
you took in supporting this program,
will be glad to share with our direc-
tors, stockholders, patrons and myself
the immense satisfaction that comes

intuition.

ON THE SURFACE. III LOOKS
BETTER

| through the ages. 1t is important
that we judge our fellowman by his
own concept of democracy however
distorted, invalid and misleading And
it means that we must place ever
more emphasis on education and it
means that, in our increased opposi-
tion to undemocratic action, we must
be armed with a knowledge of the
true meaning of democracy and the
techniques and measures that pro-
mote it.
OF those who speak glibly of de-
mocracy and the American way as
though the words were identical and
Interchangeable, would say that
their speech indicates they do not
know the meaning of democracy or
knowing do not believe.
The great seers saw democracy as
an abiding faith in the worth of the
individual; a deep and reverent re-
spect for the dignity of man. a faith
in the future founded on the convic-
ton that, given a chance, the average
man can and must work out his own
destiny; that our security, safety, and
general well-being is dependent upon
and in proportion to the extent that
each individual is developed to the
fullest extent of his capacity; that
the function of government and poll
tics is to give every citizen the maxi
mum opportunity for making deliber-
ate choices and the best training for
using that opportunity.
In Judging men and measures, this
in general can serve as a guide. What
promotes and reflects this faith and
those ideals is democratic. What is
less must be questioned.-J NJ. p.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1943-02-19

Have you noticed that there are fan
fewer disparaging remarks about de
mocracy in America than there were
even two years ago? There are fewer
people who question the ability OF
democracy to cope with fascism.
1t is true, of course, that one man S
reading and contacts may be too linn
tied to permit or justify drawing this
general conclusion. But, | throw it
out to the reader for what it is worth
and for his consideration. To me,
there appears to be decided change.
Only less than two years ago, at an
education meeting, | heard an educa-
tor of some prominence attribute the
fall of France to the weakness of de-
lmocracy. Democracy, he said had
apparently made the people soft. We
heard other criticisms that democracy
was slow in mobilizing men and equip
ment for war.
To me, there appears to be ire
mendous change in what is said open
ly. And it is of tremendous signifi-
canoe. That is true whether it be the
result of tactical changes on the part
of the anti-democratic forces that in
fluence our thinking or a renewed
faith in democracy.
1t means that in America it is not
wise to attack democracy - at least
not openly. For the anti-democratic
forces, only subterfuge is left Their
attacks must seem to be in defense
of the great American ideal.
What Is Democratic?
Not all people who advocate meas
ures and policies that run counter to
democracy as we see it are downright
dishonest or vicious. Some merely
repeat in all innocence what they have
read in the papers and act according
ly. Sometimes they are driven by
economic circumstances to do what
to them does not seem so bad after
all. And maybe this individual whose
act we detest does not even know,
does not understand, that his vote and
influence is anti-democratic.
To us, it is imperative that we rec
ognize how little democracy is taught
as advocated by the great seers down

This letter shows the high esteem
in which the Farmers Union Grain
Terminal Association and Mr.. Thatch-
er are held by federal agencies.
The role these agencies played in
assisting the co-operatives here and in
the northwest is related in the follow
ing letter by Mr.. Thatcher:
1--WE are happy and proud to be able
to enclose, herewith, our check for
$1,000,O00.O0, as payment on account
of the facility loan made to us during
1871, for the building of the terminal
elevator at Superior, Wisconsin, and
the two sub-terminal elevators built
in Montana. Cost of these three ia
cilities amounted to $2,134,725.00.
Paying Off Future Obligations
Gas you will recall, we felt that we
were taking on quite a lot for our in
stitution, which was then not quite
three years old, to go into debt to
the extent of $1,5O0,O00.00 for the
building of these large grain eleva-
tors.
"The agreement was to pay $780,
100000 year over a 10-year period.
Last fall, we made our first payment
of $150,000.00, leaving balance of
s., 350,000.00. With the payment of
