New Crop

Thanks to a new oil extraction
and harvesting process. the raising
of sunflower seeds may develop into
an important farm crop in the mid
die west, following successful expert
mentation in Illinois Plat county.
Due to a new solvent process Of
bio-chemist Ezra Levin, oil now ex-
tracted from the sunfower seeds
and the resulting mash no longer
become rancid, while the construc-
ton of a new combine cuts the once
high harvesting costs.
Planted in 40-inch rows and cult
waited twice through the season, 1000
pounds of seed were obtained from
an acre, with a yield of oil at 14h
cents per pound repeatedly higher
than that obtained from a similar
planting Of soybeans. Not only is the
oil good for salads and cooking, it
was said, but seeds were found to
have protein content of SO per cent.

WAR COSTS:

Aiming to cut government costs
and at the same time impose great
er efficiency on some firms with a
resultant release of manpower and
material, the var department an
nounced the adoption of a new pric-
ing program employing teams Of
experts that will comb over con-
tracts before letting.
Expressing the belief that lower
prices would lead to greater s Of
manpower and material, Col. Fred
c. Foy, director of army service
forces purchases, said: When
ever a contractors selling prices
are close to his costs, the contrac-
tor has an incentive to lower his
costs to increase profit. 49,"

POSTWAR PLANNING:
Stability Sought

Looking forward to the day when
the war win end and the cessation
of wartime production will pose
problems of providing adequate OPP
portunity for a peacetime economy.
senate and house committees busted
themselves in developing a program
for the prosperous employment OF
both labor and agriculture.
Most specific action taken was by
a senate committee headed by Mon
tana's Senator Murray. which sub
mitted a proposal for an annual esti-
nation Of the amount of expenditure
necessary for full employment and
the probable OUTLAWS by private in
dustry. with any differences to be
made up by federal investment. Be-
fore the government would under
take any expenditures. however, ev-
cry effort would be made to stimu-
late the flow of private capital
While Senator Murray's commit
tee presented the proposal, a house
committee held hearings in Chi
cago, Ill, on means of bolstering
postwar agriculture.
While advocating a reapprais-
al of farm credit needs, inter-
national agreements to dispose
Of surplus commodities and low
ering of trade barriers, Ed
ward A. O'Neal, president Of the
American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, also called for realistic
marketings based on feed and
labor costs to replace subsidies.
Movement of 1000, 900 persons
from farms after the war to pro-
vide them with sufficient income and
guard against overproduction was
advocated by Chairman Oscar
Heline of the Iowa Farmer Grain
Dealers association. In agreeing,
Prof. Noble Clark, chairman of the
Land Grant Colleges committee on
postwar agricultural policies, urged
a broadened educational program to
equip rural youth for occupational
opportunities.

u. S. FoUors
Self Rule

In the first place, there is a pow
erful, liberal-oriented ground swell to
be discerned everywhere if we look
for it. 1t is the belief that, even
tually, this force will dominate,
which has prompted the American
''hands-off" policy. Uncle Sam
merely says: Let the people of the
various countries choose the form of
government they want. Those who
want democracy enough will get it
if there is no outside interference"
That is mi thing to bear in mind.
Another is that this ground swell, as
! call it, is the result Of many diff
ferent factors - not merely hum
ger and discomfort or faith and en-
lightenment; not only inspiration or
desperation, but aspiration as well,
aspiration toward the natural his
torical and evolutionary goals Of
progress which are a part of mans
eternal struggle for liberty.
The reaction against Nazi tyranny
and the successful resistance to
German control in the form Of the
underground, generated certain
forces toward freedom and indie
pendence. The underground made
its own laws, gave opportunity for
the coalescence and strengthening
of all democratic movements. It was
natural when the Germans were
driven out that these forces re-
fused to bow to representatives of
any regime. nc matter how benef-
cent, if it had about it even the
slightest odor of ~sanctified feudal-
ism.
It is necessary to get this premise
firmly fixed in our minds or else
fall into the error Of writing off ev-
cry revolutionary movement as
communist" including some GER
tainly no whit less virtuous than our
own in 1776.
1t is well to study the France of
today in this connection, and inter-
esting to note the comment which
appeared in the French press at the
time of the first revolts in Belgium
and later in Greece where Allied
support was given the government
in power. The "Franc-Tireur," whose
name indicates the underground"
flavor of its opinion, explains why, so
far. France has had no such inter-
nal trouble.

Meaning Of January

The name January was derived
from the two-faced god Janus. Janus
was originally the god of light and
day, but he gradually developed into
the god of the beginning Of all
things.
The beginning Of the year was

his honor called Agonia was cele-
brated.
At the beginning Of any important

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, d. C..
AS the New Year approaches,
Washington is preparing to expert
ence the results of two titanic strug-
giles which will chart the course fol-
lowed by this nation and the world
in the decades ahead.
One contest will be witnessed on
the floors of congress. The other in
some unnamed spot where Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill, Marshal Stain and per-
haps General De Gaulle Will sit down
and try to agree on details of the
framework of an international or
ganization for the maintenance OF
peace.
The election was supposed to
have settled the old issue of ''isola-
tionism versus internationalism' but
those terms we're far too indefinite
to dClimit any lasting decisions and
since November our allies have
been strewing land-mines of doubt
along the way, causing many cases
of non-interventionist filters in con
gress.
There will be debate in the senate
favored with remarks, the tenor Of
those which criticized the British
curse in Greece.
AS to the battle behind closed
doors, you can imagine that the
American viewpoint will need all
the support the President can rally
behind it, to overcome the tendency
Of Messrs. Churchill. Stain and De
Gaulle to fall into all the old bad
habits of their happy power politics
days.
In order to understand the differ
ences which have already arisen be-
tween those who support British
armed intervention in Greece and
those who support the state depart
ment's action in protesting against
it, it is necessary to take a look be-
hind the scenes and see what these
forces are which are bound to
shape the new governments of Eu-
rope as they are reborn after the
period of democratic Information
during Nazi-Fascist occupation or
control.
