This was quite natural, too-because both the
cattle and the hogs were fed on grain the
farmer grew. The bread was baked from the
-four, milled from the grain he raised. And
the beer was brewed from his own home grown
barley, favored with hops grown in his herb
patch. And the same yeast that he used in
brewing his beer, he used, too, in baking his
bread.
In time, the farmer became a specialist
raising only certain crops and buying in the
market what he did not raise. Today more
and more farmers buy bread from nearby
town bakery, buy butter from the store in
town Give or ten minutes drive away his
ham and bacon come from folks who specia-
lie in pork products, and his beer, he buys
by the case from a dealer in town.

WE ARE IN AN AGE OF
SPECIALIZATION

Maybe it is best for all of us. In any event,
it's lot easier on the women folk on the
farm. The modern bakery, the modern
creamery, the modern packing plant, the
modern brewery, lift great loads from the
shoulders of the farmers wives and daughters.
Life on the farm is an easier life-the good
fresh air, the active day-to-day exercise, and
then the mere sight of the dinner and supper
table-they all combine to make the country
ham and the well brown bread and the fresh
butter taste as of old-and the tall, slim glass
ofNATIoNAL BOHEMIAN is as much part of
the home life at mealtime as when each farmer
brewed his own beer.

u. S. FACES SERIOUS SCHOLASTIC LOSS

The most Immediately serious loss in
education Is the rapid departure from
American classrooms of thousands of
well-trained and competent teachers,
both men and women.
Their going is traceable not only to
Selective Service and the lure of high
wages, but also to the necessity of flnd-
ing better paid employment to meet
living costs which have far exceeded
their meager teachers pay. The dis
continuance of Army specialized train
ing program units is given as another
reason.
About 1880 teachers left the colleges
and universities of the country between
June and october, 1943, and more than
$500 Of these vacancies were still un-
filled up to October Is, the United States
Office of Education reports. In addition
there we're $500 vacant classrooms.
Subjects for which deferments for
teachers were recommended are no
longer listed. and the prospect for phys
ically qualified teacher registrants, 18
through 25, is service in the armed
forces.
Selective Service is taking from 80 to
100 per cent of the civilian men students
still left on campuses, including the
formerly deferred engineering and tech
nology undergraduates.
Under the new draft program, DR.
Frazier says most mems schools and
engineering colleges now have only
Army and Navy training program stu
dents, few classified as 4-F and scat
tering of returned veterans. The num-
ber of the latter is small despite the
fact that about 100000 veterans have
been discharged. Many OF these are
disabled over-age, or adjudged misflts.
Off1ce of Education figures show that
over an age span of II years an average
Of SO per cent of those who normally

claim that industry gets the benefit of
concessions made by foreign countries,
While American concessions are made on
agricultural products. Beef, cattle and
wheat producers have been most vocifer-
Gus. United States mining interests
have made similar objections regarding
industry.
2. 'Protectionist" industry claims that
cheap foreign labor and other lower
foreign costs prevent growth of compete
tive American production. At one pub
lie hearing (hearings are held on every
proposed agreement apple growers
protested against leaving bananas on
the free list, maintaining that Ameri-
cans would eat more apples if bananas
cost more
8. In politics, the Republican party,
representing the food-crop Middle West,
has been traditionally high tariff"
lThe Democrats, representing the cot
ton d-tobacco-exporting South, have
been 'low tariff" because other countries
have little of those things for export
anyway
4. Some legislators have claimed that
the agreements are actually treaties and
should be ratified by the Senate, al
though the Supreme Court has upheld
the act
The reciprocal agreement program has
always been considered the pet project
of Secretary of State Hull. Mr. Hull has
never advocated free trade-abolition Of
all import-export restrictions-but he
believes that increased foreign trade
means higher standard of living
That principle has been favored by
the United Nations, and so American
officials are optimistic that foundation
providing reciprocal trade Is a-building
for the postwar period.

BY Flora Lewis.

All the jor trading countries of the
allied world have now agreed with the
United States Government that inter-
national trade must surge upward after
the war and that obstacles must be
hacked down.
The principle of expanding world
trade, set down in the lend-lease agree
ments, the Atlantic Charter and the
United Nations declaration is not new
for Americans, but it directly contra
diets the between-wars policy of almost
every other country.
Ten years ago Monday in the face
of growing trade walls throughout the
bated reciprocal Trade Agreements Act.
Preparation for war and war itself
became greater considera tions than
trade during the first decade of the
acts life, but now American officials are
looking to world where tbs principle
will be part and parcel of every coun-
try's foreign policy.
Plans have only begun to crystalline,
but the United States already has draft
ed It's scheme for freer world trade to
show any interested foreign diplomats.
1t is expected that eventually the United
Nations will hold trade conference
similar to the food relief and monetary
conferences and adopt common views.
An international secretariat may be set
up to gather trade information, and
settle disputes of fact.
If the United Nations adopt formula
for reducing trade restrictions, officials
look to reciprocal agreements as the
main method of transfating that policy
into the duty on French porcelain or
Persian rugs

would be going to school are in war jobs
or the armed services.
DR.. Frazier points out there Is a
marked tendency at present to reduce
the number of students granted selective
service deferment.
July l is deferment deadline, for in
stance, for students pursuing full-time
courses in such scientific and specialized
fields as aeronautical engineering
marine, radio and sanitary engineering,
chemistry. physics, mining and the
agricultural sciences.
Students of medicine, dentistry vet
erinary medicine and osteopathy are
deferred until graduation Those in
courses preparing to study these subjects
may remain until their graduation
provided they will enter into actual
classroom work in recognized school
on or before July !. This also applies
to archaeological students.
There Is a marked tendency, too ac-
cording to DR.. Frazier, to lower physical
requirements for induction into military
services and to eliminate college training
for servicemen in the ground forces and
air forces. DR.. Frazier adds:
Further losses in college enrollments
are to be expected, for, while there are
signs of leveling off in employment in
certain war industries and in Govern
ment, the demand for both men and
women workers In most fields continues
unabated"
Although a large number of students
lost to the high schools and colleges
during the war will be lost permanently,
educators believe that many will return
The length of the war, postwar economic
conditions and the extent to which
Federal educational aid is granted to
veterans will largely determine the
numbers.

War threatens the future intellectual
leadership Of the Nation.
This is why:
selective service and well-paid war
Jobs have greatly cut enrollments in
high schools and colleges, draining of
students and teachers.
College graduating classes this June
number half their peak figure of more
than 1000 in 1910. High school di-
plomas went to 100000 fewer students
than in the top year of 1912, when they
totaled 1,242375.
Teachers colleges and normal schools
lost even greater numbers. Enrollments
in the former dropped SO per cent in
the last year alone; in the latter, go
per cent.
DR.. Benjamin Frazier, United States
Once of Education, says that one of
the most damaging effects of the war
is the SO per cent decrease in graduate
college students during the past four
years.
An 81 per cent loss in high school
students and A per cent loss of under
graduate students will add to losses

come, he warns.
"In few other human institutions is
the destructive character of war more
Devastating than in the higher levels

out that wars tolls on American edu-
cation deprive the Nation of many of
its potential leaders, scholars and pro-
fessional workers." and added:

ers, trained in graduate schools and
available to instruct returning veterans,

sure to be an important basis for future
decisions.
Officials of the Inter-Departmental
Trade Agreements Committee, respon-
sible for negotiating the agreements for
the United States, are proud that they
have concluded 81 pacts with q differ
ent countries.
Two more-with Bolivia and Paraguay
have been hanging fire since before
Pearl Harbor, and attempts to reach
agreements with Chile, Italy and Spain
were dropped by the wayside when con-
cessions could not be decided upon
The United States never tried to make
an agreement with Germany or Japan
those two countries had adopted policies
of economic warfare long before their
armies moved an inch.
The basis for the agreements is SIM
pie: each side agrees to cut its trade
restrictions, mainly duties. (The Amer
ican President is authorized to reduce
United States tariffs up to so per cent?
The object for the United States is to
open foreign markets to American ex-
porters and in turn make it easier for
foreigners to sell here and obtain the
dollars they must have to buy American
goods.
Officials like to point out that the
increase of United States exports to
agreement" countries in 1889 was
double the increase to "nonagreement"
countries.
Nevertheless, the program has met
much opposition in Congress. The origi-
nal grant of authority to the President
was for three years-this was renewed
in 1887 and 1910, but. in 1943 it was
extended for only two years.

Bureaucracy In Legislature.

The Missouri Representative at this
point advanced a new idea-that bu-
reaucracy may exist in the Legislative
as we'll as in the Executive. He said
TT seemed to me, in framing the
resolution that the manifest evils of
bureaucracy are as we'll entrenched in
the legislative branch of government
as they are in executive. I could see
no reason for limiting the tenure of
the one department and yet allowing
the other to remain a snug harbor for
career politicians and the domineering
cliques which impose their selfish will
upon the Congress and the country at
large.
TT is humiliating commentary upon
the native intelligence of America to
consider that we must have ruling
class of legislators. This Nation was
born to demonstrate the antiquity and
inadequacy of monarchy as a form of
government for free men. Yet our
democratic process, by it's occasionally
overweening liberality, has spawned
school of chosen rulers who acquire their
right to regulate the conduct of their
peers by a system as morally unwhole-
some as the divine rights of kings
theory.

of this people who is so superior in

his judgments as to deserve an exclu-
sive monopoly upon the right OF gov

Bishop Henry St. George Tucker,
president of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America, who
has lived "a years in Japan, ex-
pressed the belief in an interview
here yesterday that it would be
better to let the Japs keep their
Emperor, whom he termed liberal
in sentiment"
Bishop Tucker, presiding bishop
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church
Of the United States, said:
1T is most important that we be
careful to recognize the impulses
OF the japanese themselves, in such
matters as to whether they shall
keep their Emperor. I believe it
would be better to let them keep
him; it took long time for the
military men to persuade him to
join up with the Axis. He is liberal
in sentiment.
I think that when the Emperor
gives the word for the war to stop,
it's going to, stop. We must utterly
discredit the militarists there. In
fact I believe there must be some
actual invasion of the country, with
troops marching through the streets,
before the japanese realize they
really have been defeated"

Chinese Break Old Law
To Aid Blood Bank

First-hand knowledge of the life

overcame an ancient Chinese tradi-
ton and insured the success of the
first blood bank established in. China
by United China Relief, a Com
munity War Fund agency, according
to DR.. Wilson Compton, chairman
of the local United China Relief
Chapter.
DR.. Compton said a teaching of
Confucius that ones body Is derived
from the parents and fllial devotion
forbids damaging the body in any
way accounted for the small number
Of donors when the bank, which was
organized, donated and equipped in
America, was flown to Running and
began operating July IL.
However. DR.. Compton reported,
when the Chinese were told 1t is
permissible to donate their blood for
such . cause, more than 10000 SOL
diers, students and college professors
registered as donors.
