"But they will also be in the spot

their Importance in naval strategy
is better appreciated than a genera
ton ago, when the Japanese were
allowed to take them as mandates.
This means in blunt terms that
the administration of the occupied
areas of the Pacific will be peculiarly
subject to critical observation by
various powers and by the American
Government and people. In terms
of square miles of land area-or in
terms of population-those areas are
of secondary Importance. But in
strategic terms-and perhaps in
terms of diplomacv--they will have
for a period front rank.

underestimate your own respon-
sibilities by measuring them from

FSA HOLDS LINE AGAINST
LAND INITIATION

With careful search, some good
farms can still be bought at fair prices
despite higher land values, says the
Farm Security Administration in re-
porting that 1869 farm purchases
made during the last fiscal year, I'M
der the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant
Act, were based on its policy of hold
ing the line against land initiation.
But with farm land values in many
areas approaching boom levels, tenant
purchase loan applicants, who must
find for themselves the farms they
wish to purchase, experienced more
difficulty last year in locating farms
that measured up to FSA standards
and could be bought at prices FSA
would approve.
Although average land values in
creased Is per cent during the last
fiscal year, farm purchases financed
by FSA averaged no more per acre
than the farms bought in previous
years. They were financed on the
basis of the productivity, and quality
was not sacrificed. The average pur-
chase price per farm last year was
$4,252, compared with $4,354 the year
before when 5,144 farms were bought.
During the first five years of opera
ton of the Tenant Purchase Program,
which began in 1887, farms of similar
quality were purchased at an average
price of $4,033.
