influence in the next administra-
ton whether the new President
be a Republican or a Democrat.
BY his elimination through de-
feat he will enjoy no such pres
tige. And by mis- defeat at the
polls the country will also suffer
loss of prestige in that diplomats
Of our allied nations will not
know what commitments made
by the Roosevelt Administration
we're repudiated by the Ameri-
can people.
There is one outstanding
thought regarding the national
conventions and general election.
The strain on President Roose-
welt is so great that his init
mates are concerned lest the
burden be too great. In the
event he seeks the nomination
there is no question that he can
have it. In naming a candidate
for Vice-President the Demo-
Gratis should name the strongest
man in the party.

lies Reception

Over one hundred guests attend
ed Rockville's Teen-Age Canteen

afternoon.
Beautiful spring weather and
clear skies made a perfect day for
the event as interested friends and
parents came to see just what the
Teen-Age Canteen looks like

improvements the young people
made in the premises. The murals
begun by Eleanor Mill, Richard
Montgomery High School senior,
evoked praise and admiration. The
attractive new food bar, made by
MIR. Willard Belt, was installed in
time for the occasion. Flowers
were loaned by A. Guide, local
florist, and punch and cookies were

Radcliffe And GOss
Address Farmers
AT Gaithersburg
Subsidies Criticised And
Defended By Speakers.
Larcombe Elected President

Talking to group of about 100
farmers and their wives, at Farm
Convention in Gaithersburg Satur-
day night, Albert S. Goss, master
of the National Grange said farm
ers must be given machinery, man.
power and a price for his commod-
tiles if he is to raise the food to
carry on the war. Agriculture
said Mr.. Goss, "does not want to
go to the government with its hat
in it's hand but wants prices COM
parable with costs of production.
Senator Radcliffe who spoke later
in the evening defended the sub
sidy program saying 1--WE either
had to leave everything alone, with
the result that prices would 60 sky
high or we had to clamp down to
prevent imitation"
1t was brought out that the gov
eminent had released material for
additional farm machinery but the
manufacturers seemed more inter-
ested in war contracts. A Letter
from T. A. Barnsley, of the County
War Board, however, said he
thought there would be machinery
available in this county.
John S. Larcombe, Jr., of Gath
ersbarg, who called the meeting in
an effort to start nationwide
"grow more wheat" movement, was
elected president of the convention,
with Henry Becraft of Washington
Grove, secretary. The committee OF

board, most of them being already
a member of either the Farm
Bureau or the Grange. Mr.. Lar
combe advised the appointment BY
Congress of a non-partisan board
Of five to devlop a means of in
creasing wheat production.
1t Col. w. R. Buie, acting direc-
tor of labor in the War Food Ad-
ministration, told of plans to bring
$4,000 Mexicans, 10000 Jamaicans
and 1000 Bahamas to the aid Of
the U. S. farmers who have the
biggest production job in history to
face with the smallest amount OF
labor available.
DIR. Oscar Slime, head Of the agri-
cultural economics division of the
Department of Agriculture, said il
would be necessary to divert wheat
from livestock feed and alcohol
production if more wheat is mol
raised.

War in vain. First
and of all we should
Politics steel ourselves
to the point
where we can feel absolutely
assured that the war will be
carried on with as much vigor
and support whether or not
!. there is an election. Secondly,
we must accept the bitternesses
certain to develop during the
campaign as constructive effort
which will lead ultimately to adj
vantages for the country. With
such a mental attitude we can
take the election in stride and
be ready to accept the peoples
November verdict with no mis-
givings.
It is unfortunately a fact,
however, that all people cannot
bring themselves to such a men
tai frame of mind and are con-
sequentiy considerably upset.
For them there is nothing except
to be like the soldier all keyed
up and ready for major battle
the outcome of which is, quite
naturally, uncertain. 1t would
be better for citizens to UNDER
stand that the strength of this
great democracy lies in our faith
in its institutions. Being a gov
eminent of laws rather than of
men we can accept and absorb
changes in personnel without
any violent changes in our nor
NAL method of operation.

inconceivable the possibility
(even likelihood) of President
Roosevelt not being candidate
or being defeated if he is a can

of government, we must feel
that the electorate's verdict is
correct. There will be no major
changes in our handling of the
war. There will be no change in
our setup for the enactment Of
and administration of the laws.
There can only be such grad
ual changes as our elected Off
cials deem advisable in the face
of new developments and in
carrying out the mandates Of the
people. There are people, of
course, who feel that the wars
conduct rests almost solely on
the President. It is perhaps
true that, with Messrs. Church
i'll and Stain, President Roose-
welt has helped chart the general
course of the war. But in any
analysis Of operations SO extern
sive as this world war there are
SO many men involved and their
duties so varied that one man,
even though he is one Of the
top men, cannot be indispensa-
