have some imitation now," the Ma
tional Farmers Union declared that
'if we can stop rising values now,
little damage will be done"
"If they continue to 90 up" it added,
great damage will he done. Costs have
risen 26 per cent since 1880, when
World War III started. At the same
period in World War l, costs had risen
- per cent"
The position of the farmers union
was made known in Il pamphlet, THE
Truth About Subsidies" which is be-
ing distributed to farmers and trade
unionists. The pamphlet was written
by Russell Smith, legislative secretary
Of the farm group, and was designed
by Chandler Montgomery and George

dent of the farmers union.
Masses Against Initiation
The American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, the National Grange and other
reactionary farm organizations have
declared their opposition to the pro
gram to control prices by subsidies.
Organized labor favors continuance of
the subsidy program.
Describing the imitation fight which.
it pointed out is nov at its peak"
the farmers union said:
ION the one side are the representa-
tiveS of sidewalk farmers. factory
farmers. professors, middlemen, and
much of big business
They have no alternative To offer
to initiation; il is what they want
"On the other side are the average
ordinary citizens. mostly without
means to express themselves publicly.
They are made up of family farmers,
workers, and middle-Of-theroad CON
SumerS.
Subsidy Program Urged
What they want and what the Ma
tional Farmers Union want for them
is program of stability that will not
only hold the line but that will add 10
war production by making it possible
victory
"FOr the immediate future the
farm group said this program in
ciudeS the use of Il careful, wisely ad-
ministered price support subsidy pro-
gram. The $500 million program cur
rently in force should be regarded as
Il minimum program, to he expended
where necessary. Its costs will be only
Il fraction of the cost to the nation
that would follow the breaking of cell
ings, the pressure of labor for higher
wages, and the cost increases that
would be levied by business.
"Such Il price support program is a
step toward fuller democracy in the
conduct of the war, and toward fuller
democracy when peace comes. The
country cannot afford imitation, and
the price support program is the best
immediate guarantee against it,"
Setting forth that the truth about
the position of farmers, workers and
business is that business has gained
more than any other group during the
war; the union said:
"'rhe net income of farm operators is
2S4 times what it was i'm 1899, wages
and salaries are 300 times what they
We're then. But corporation income Is
4.36 times what it was in 1899. Those
increases are before taxes"

FIRST FINANCE
 DRIVE OF GIRL
 SCOUTS STARTS
Monday Sci for Beginning of Campaign 10 Raise
 Needed Sum of $500

The Juneau Girl Scout Counci will open its first annual finance drive on Monday, May l, and con- tinue through the week, according to Mrs. Earl D. McGinty, Scout Commissioner.
 The opening day of the drive is observed nationally as Child Health Day with the children's bureau and many other youth organizations participating. April 26 to May 6 is also Boys and Girls week so Amer ica as a whole joins with Juneau next week in paying tribute, verbal or financial, to the youth of our nation" Mrs McGinty explained.
 The minimum needs of the Girl Scouts is $1 500 which will be used in a large part for the operation of the summer camp or necessary re- pairs to the Scout camp site at Eagle river.
 Many repairs are needed such as erection of latrines, enlarging the water supply, improving the sewage system and general building repairs.
 Another heavy expense is the pur- chase of a large range as the one now at camp is not usaable. The girls need a stove sufficiently large to permit oven space for baking for 50 persons or more.
 All Scout workers are volunteers with the exception of the camp di- rector, her assistant and the cook It is hoped that enough men, who can use hammer, will volunteer to make the emp repairs on Sun days in May so that no labor ex- penses will be incurred for this needed work.
 Mrs. Josephine Boyd is chairman of the drive Mrs. Boyd is being assisted by Scout leaders and mem- bers of the council, and other wo- men and men who are assisting actively in soliciting funds; the ra- dio station, KINY, over which Scout speakers will be heard each day next week at 12:15 o'clock; the Alaska Daily Empire which is pub fishing daily reminders of the drive; the civic organizations and the churches of the city whose speak CTS are announcing the dates and purposes of the campaign.

 FOR FUTURE

WASHINGTON, April 29. - The pattern for future drives against Japan were set by the long leap frog up the New Guinea coast with the complete cooperation of ground, sea and air forces, War Secretary Stim- son said and then added at his weekly press conference,
 There is evidence that our future hops can be even longer than those we thus far have taken. The land- ings of American infantrymen at Hollandia, in conjunction with those at Aitape should raise well de- served alarm in the minds of the Japanese"
 Stimson described the action as a methodical one, carried out by com- bined forces under General Mac Arthur, and bringing the Palau Islands within the range of land- based bombers.
