Blacklist Year, Wood Says


UPPER DARBY. Pa. Jan. l.
j. H. Wood. director of the Farm
Security Administration region.
which includes Maryland, predicted
today that 1914 will be the blacklist
year in the history of our family
farm operations"
He attributed the black outlook to
Congress failure to provide adequate
funds for loan purposes to the FSA.
For the fiscal year 1914
Congress authorized FSA to make
loans totaling only $50 900 ,OOO-S37,-
500 900 less than the previous fiscal
year-and this will be exhausted
long before snow is off the ground"
Mr.. Wood declared.
The FSA director said loans total
ing $685. 200 were made in the
region embracing IL States from
Maine through Maryland during
the first half of the current fiscal
year. This was an increase of ap-
proximately so per cent over loans
during the same six months of 1912.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan, l.
Events of 1914 may we'll determine
the course of civilization for CEN
turtles to come, Gov. John w. Bricker
declared tonight in a Nation wide
New Years message broadcast over
ITO radio stations.
"As we enter 1914 he said, "the
forces of evil and destruction are
being driven to the wall and the
forces of Righteousness and freedom
are on the conquering march.
But, when this war is won, there
still will be momentous decisions to
make and difficult problems to
solve"
The Ohio Chief Executive. who
recently announced his candidacy
for the Republican presidential nom
nation, declared:
This year will determine whether
the place of the in iividual in So
ciety shall be strengthened or
whether he shall become more and
more dependent on organized gov
eminent. This Government was or
gained as protection against the
power OF the masses as we'll as the
classes"
Warming against what he called
the ever encroaching power of gov
eminent" Gov. Bricker said faith
In our system of selfgovernment
means We must keep it as near the
home as possible.
Touching on the postwar world,
Gov. Bricker predicted production
problems would be acute when mil
hons In the armed services and in
war industries return to civilion DUR
suits.
"Reconversion and utilization as
well as the protection of private
business must have more attention
IN 1914" Gov. Bricker said, but
Government and the industrial
plant alone cannot maintain en-
ploynent of all. Every one engaged
IN transportation or selling of goods
must utilize his money and ability
to employ others"
He urged equality of opportunity
Tor every man and woman-that
man should have the opportunity to
labor without restraint. to enter
other fields without hindrance. and
the right to conduct his own bust
ness and build it to a bigger and
better business"

Facts, Not Fiction

In the '.25 Years Ago. column of the Hous-
ton, Texas Post, the following item appeared,
dated May 25 1919:
washington - To finance the railroads for
the balance of the year and to pay the gov
ernment's operating loss for 16 months up to
this month"; an appropriation Of 81 200. 600, 600
was asked of Congress yesterday by Director
General Hines The 81, 2ooOOOooo is in addition
to the Oo,oO0,o00 appropriated by the last
Congress, and includes the $750,00O0O0 which
failed of appropriation when the session ended
in filibuster.''
1t is well to remember that during the last
war the railroads were placed under govern
ment operation - in other words, we had
government ownership of the railroads for over
two years, and the usual deficit that follows
political management of an industry.
In World War II, under private manage
ment the railroads have moved vastly more
freight and passenger traffic than for CORES
ponding periods in the first World War. They
have done this with thousands fewer locomo-
tives and cars, and with 584, 900 fewer en-
ployes, who in 1913 were paid 1886, SOL 900 more
than the railroad men employed in 1919.
Contrast the deficits under government ope-
ration which the taxpayers made up in 1919,
with the nearly $4,000, 100000 year tax con-
tribution of the railroads to the national re-.
sources in this war. The contrast is staggering

Judge Smiths Stand

Judge H. Winfield Smith is justified in max.
ing the pronouncement he handed down to a
packed session of Recorders court Monday
that from now on there are going to be fewer
fines and more prison sentences and suspend
ed sentences melted out from his bench.
There are no figures to compare New Han
over county's crime rate with that of other
war stimulated areas of the state or nation.
but it is safe guess to say that the rate is
unusually high. The number of cases heard
every day in the court, involving scores of
people, would attest to that. The line of de-
fendents appearing before Judge Smith-to the
handful of lawyers who must argue the many
cases, to the judge himself who must weigh
the pros and cons, and to the onlooker on the
scene-seems endless.
In brief, the length of that crime parade
is attributable largely to the free flow of mon
ey in the community, and the operation of
luke joints" where illegal whiskey is dis
pensed, and where beer is often sold during
forbidden hours.
The ample payrolls of wartime Wilmington
have heretofore made it possible for offenders
to pay the heavy fines for violations of the
law handed out to them and to 90 their merry
way. The number of duplicate violators is
very high

knife cuttings, assaults, and attacks that
often have their beginnings in the places con-
tlnue. Much work in the direction of cleaning
them up, or eliminating the trouble spots,
is yet to be DONE
While Judge Smiths new policy dictated
by Impotence at the unabated progress of
crime here, cannot be counted on to achieve
startling results Immediately, swift, severe
Judgments should greatly help New Hanover
county law enforcement.
The sacrifice of the amazing annual fine
collections in Recorders court-$89, 900 last
year-is nothing if stronger sentences are 60
