'Ag' Program Outlined
In Kent For 1914
CONTINUED from First Page,

the production of more food, and
there is no doubt about farmers
throughout the country making ev-
cry effort to reach these production
goals as their valuable contribution
TO the war effort. One of the hand
leaps facing farmers in attaining
these detectives will be the short
age of farm labor. as every indica-
tiOn points to the fact that the
farm labor situation this year will
be more acute than it was in 1943.
The principal crops in Kent
county are corn. wheat, tomatoes.
soy beans, apples, peaches and
grapes, in addition to scattered
acreages of various vegetable and
canning crops and small fruits,
and the livestock consists mainly
of dairy cattle and poultry. Approx
imately one-half of the tillable
acreage produces grain crops. and
the remainder is devoted to fruits
and vegetables, consequently the
peak of the farm labor needs Oc-
cur at the harvest periods for as
pdi as uoy NOiidtOCos Cdl ~ anu idlC
apples, peaches, grapes, and corn,
while many farmers also need year.
round workers in addition to sea-
sonal help.
The eight-point dairy improve
ment and livestock conservation
program has been called to the at
tention of farmers, with the result
that inquiries are being received
relative to disease prevention and
control, pasture seeding and fer
tilization and farm management
practices for the most profitable
utilization of the land. Closely as
sociated with this program are the
poultry improvement projects in
which feeds and feeding methods
along with flock management will
play an important part in the pro-
duction of eggs and meat birds.
Soil conservation and farm drain
age constitute other essential pro-
jects in the county extension pro-
gram this year which will be par
ticipated in by a large number of
land owners.
In order to accomplish this en-
tire agricultural program it will
be necessary to maintain a close
between farmers, bus
mess men, bankers and all other
persons interested in the develop
ment of our farm industry.

States Not Yet ImpOtent


Fire insurance has such Il bear
ing on the financial sOlvency OF
the average individual or bust
ness, that it is hard to understand
why Federal regulation should now
be proposed, when state regulation
of this industry has been recOgniz-
ed as sound by Congress and the
Supreme Court for over IS years.
The preservation of state regI-
lation of insurance has been urged
by the governors or insurance
commissioners, or both, of all
states.
Due to the encrOachments of
centralized government and Federal
regulation. into private affairs and
state jurisdictions, there is wide
spread and growing sentiment
against the increase of bureaucrat-
ic control over individuals, indus
tries. and state governments.
AS fire insurance is so intensely
local to every community. and in
asmuch as there has long been pro-
vision for state regulation of the
industry which has been fully rec
Ognized by the courts, it would
seem that this is a most inoppOr-
tune time TO seek further extension
of Federal regulation. Surely the
states have not become so impo-
tent to. correct practices of indus
tries and business within their own
borders, that they must now rely
on the Federal government to as
sumo that task for them.

A Emily Problem

AS March Is draws nearer, the
average family will realize that
next to winning the war. the most
pressing public problem is taxa
tiOn.
Published newspaper reports
show that the national income for
l943 is estimated at $4,000, ,00O,-
600, as compared with $4,000 ,0OO,-
900 in 1899. War taxes to absorb
abnormal earnings from war pro-
duction, are justified. But when
peace comes, our nation should be
prepared to Immediately adopt a
revised tax schedule, or progress
will be stified.
To meet this situation, con-
stitutional amendment has been
proposed, limiting the power of
Congress to impose taxes on in
comes ,inheritances, and gifts to a
maximum rate of 25%, except in
case of war emergency. If the leg
islatures of twO-thirds of the states
adOpt a resolution requesting Con-
gress to call convention for pro-
posing an amendment to the Con-
Congress must comply. |
Fifteen states have passed such a
resolution. The Delaware Legisla-
ture passed this resolution during |
the last session of that body.
Here is a definite program look /
ing to the formulation of a practi-
cal peacetime tax structure. We
should not wait until the mOmen-
tum of industry has been slowed
down before providing an incentive
to keep il rolling.

War Effort Slowed
By Huge Fire Loss,
Says u. 5. Engineer
Special Dispatch to The Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, May g. The
American people lost property at
the rate of more than 81 ,000, 900 per
day as a result of fires in 1943,
damage being $65, ,000, 900 greater
than in the previous year, DR. David
j. Price, Washington, president of
the National Fire Protection Asso-
citation, told the 48th annual meet
ing of that organization today
DR.. Price is principal chemical
engineer in the Agriculture Depart
ment, and recently completed 80
consecutive years in scientific re-
search for the Government.
Hurts War Effort.
He estimated losses from fire at
$3.50 1926 900 for last year, pointing
out that the destruction must be
viewed in terms of lost war produc-
ton, delays in shipping goods to the
fighting front and the replacement
of machinery and buildings If it's
real significance at this time is to
be appreciated.
Industrial fire loss last year
amounted to $145, ,000, 900, or an in
crease of IS per cent in two years,
he said, adding:
Many of these fires were in in
dustrial plants producing vital war
materials which Is a matter worthy
of utmost concern to a nation at
war"
Fire in the Woodworking indus
try, lumber mill working plants and
foodstuff manufacturing and ware
housing plants predominated last
year, he said, hindering the war
effort. He said that 101 fires
occurred in buildings used for the
processing and storage of agricul-
tural products, with loss of about
$25, ,000, 900.
Rural Areas Hardest Hit.
'In wartime" he said, when food
is beieng rationed, We can i'll afford
to destroy valuable food and grain
supplies by fires and explosions.
Every fire that destroys war produc-
ton facilities, raw materials, fin
ished products, food-stuffs, housing
and other essential property ham,
pers the war effort"
DR.. Price pointed out that so per
cent of the entire fire loss in the
United States occurs in rural areas
which lack adequate protection. He
suggested that "the enormous
amount of fire protection equipment
built for war purposes" be allocated
after the war to unprotected rural
areas"

Housing Industry
Hears CHALLENGE

A challenge to the housing indus
try was tossed before the Wash
ington Building Congress luncheon
yesterday by Irving w. Clark, man
ager of the Better Homes Depart
ment of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Co. Over 500
members, all of whom have some
thing to do with the building and
equipping of homes, listened intently
as Mr.. Clark outlined package of
living for 194x."
Far too often" he said, housing
projections fail to include the i'm
portant element of community
facilities, such as streets transporta-
ton, utilities, schools, parks, the
aters, churches and commercial
buildings that are as much part
of any successful new housing de-
velopment as the residential units
themselves. At least an equal num-
Der of dollars must be invested in
these facilities as in new housing.
Much of this so-called heavy con-
struction should precede the actual
housing program"
Stating that 1t will be possible for
industry to get into production as
of 1912, almost Immediately after the
war, it is only sound thinking to
plan on equipment of that date
rather than to wait for new ma
terials and equipment that will not
appear for several years.
With this in mind" Mr.. Clark
stated, "It is sensible thinking for
the housing industry to develop a
complete package of living with
ample land and trees to meet its
occupants social, economic and
artistic requirements, with a struc-
ture that gives maximum protection
from the elements at minimum ex-
pense and maximum architectural
appeal"

Women to Hold Balance of Power

Congresswoman Mary T. Norton has been a distinguished Democrat leader in the House of Representatives for the past ten years. She introduces interest ing highlights in a magazine article just out in which she declares that women twill hold the balance of power in the election" She calls the National Capital Democracys "step-child". Mrs. Norton hits the spot in the statement that things the matter with Washington are curable, and would be remedied Eff Washing tonians shared the privilege enjoyed by their fellow Americans - to elect those they think will serve them best, and to turn out of office those who do not"
 Shortly after the Civil War the Con- gress took over complete political control of Washington and withdrew the birth right of it's inhabitants to vote for and select their own officers. Washington has survived under inefficient government for three-quarters of century.
 Representative Norton has the right answer. She declares "If militant army of District women decided that they were tired of being stepchildren Of the Federal Government; if they joined forces and demanded recognition of their rights as free Americans; if they were supported by the women in the States, the bills before Congress to give them part of these rights would be debated and passed. Gan any fair-minded person" She asked, "see justice in compelling Washington men to serve m war 10 provide sef-goyernment for other na' fions when 0O0,000 Americans in their own city are denied that right under our laWs?"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-07-29

icy already launched in Germany. In both countries now, the seriousness of the situation is being played up, enemy strength is emphasized, and a tough time is promised. The object is an increased production, induced by the population's knowledge of a desperate situation.
 This policy may work better in Japan than in Germany. As Matsuo Suzuki recently wrote in The Christian Science Monitor, "Industrially, Japan has be- come modern nation. Socially, it is still living in an ancient past of legend and myth" Japanese industry exists for the emperor's glorification. If he asks now for more effort, he'll probably get it.
 AS for Tojo's successors, they have slightly more moderate" reputation, but the same militaristic background. They may alter the unsuccessful Hitler-Tojo strategy of defending every far-flung out post or bit of land, but it seems incon- sistent with Japanese theology that they should have been put in the drivers seat only to sue for peace. All this won't alter the final outcome Neither Jap nor Nazi fanaticism can overcome American arms or American industry. But the way still isn't short, or the going easy
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-07-29
Freedom of Enterprise

Just why there should be emphasis placed on declarations that freedom of enterprise is not a political issue" is not entirely clear Assistant Attorney Gen. eral Wendell Berge recently made speech that didn't seem to lift the issue out of the political doghouse. It would be very pleasant to become convinced that the Federal Government is clean ing house" of evils that are traceable to the monopoliStic control of business. There seems to be a general belief that these prosecutions under antitrust laws are politics. Many of our Government leaders deny the fact that great indus tries are beneficial to the country as whole.
 The first one hundred leading indus tries of the United States are engaged in manufacturing goods and supplies that are distributed throughout the en- tire country and which reach the public through local business men and dealers. In running through the list of manufac- turerS of rubber, bread and bakery pro- ducts, textiles, motors, publishers pro- ducts, petroleum, chemicals, electrical supplies, etc, it is obvious that there is keen competition among all of these cor porationS and groups. Government and State control flows down the line from the factory to the dealer on the corner, protecting the public along the route, and insuring free market for every body.
 The United States is, after all, coun- try of Big Business and mass production. And if you'll just stop and think that over you will understand how it was possible to create the greatest volume of war pro s~n foa the history of the World. At the same time small business has not suffered by reason of the system which has been built up to operate on such a tremendous scale as that which has developed so rapidly in the past few years - since tne arrival of radio, television, photography, airplanes-and a thousand other major improvements in our way of life Because we have such a wonderful record, shouldn't we recognize our progress, ana point to it with pride?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-07-29
Senator WiIey's Foresight

People in Washington can't get over the fact that American Ambassador Grew reported on the dangers of an attack from Japan to the Department of State long before Pearl Harbor.
 And Washington remembers that sen ator Wiley of Wisconsin had an mixing that things were in bad way in the Pacific, and that he introduced a resolu' ton nearly a year before Pearl Harbor asking the Secretary of State to appear before the Senate in Executive session and make a report on the situation m the Pacific. It has been suggested that had this Wiley first" resolution been adopted that the Japs might not have been able to get away with the attack on Pearl HaFbor,
 Tt also appears that Senator Wiley has been first" in looking ahead most of me time during the six years in which ne has been in the Senate. At least he was fhe first person to recommend to the Secretary of the Navy and the Maritime Commission that ShipyaFds be con, etructed in the Great Lakes area ana utilized to help produce American ships. Today OUT Great Lakes areas stand ouI at the "peak" among the regions where big things are done to win the war
