made, 1t is said, as an investment hedge
against possible imitation.
The economists give several reasons
why they do not expect corporation
farming to make much headway:
l. They contend that advances in
mechanization of agriculture make it
possible for the one-family type of farm
to compete effectively with larger units.
Much of the chronological advances in
machinery has been in the direction of
small units for smaller and medium size
farms.
2. Prospects of lower farm prices in
the years ahead are expected, the
economists say, to discourage large
scale investment in farming. In this
connection, there is no denying the
fact agriculture is faced with many
uncertainties.
3. Farm production has been increased
third over prewar levels, but there
is a big question as to whether wartime
outlets will continue.
Present Government farm price
policies tend to restrict exports because
they hold prices above world levels. AS
consequence, agriculture appears to
face either a return to production con-
trolls or establishment of price policies
which would encourage exports The
economists argue that so long as un-
certainties like these exist, corporation
investments are likely to seek other
fields.
4. The farm labor situation is held to
be another deterrent to corporation
farming. There will be resistance to
reductions in such wage rates.
5. Another factor held likely to dis
courage corporation farming is growing
agitation for extension of social security
benefits to hired farm workers. Such
benefits would increase labor costs of
corporation farms Familv-type farms

Election Reform Aim
OF Avila CamachO

MEXICO CITY (P).-Manuel Avila
Camacho started his sixth and last year
as President of Mexico yesterday with
one of his most troublesome problems
ahead of him.
He has promised the country honest
elections" when Mexico votes next July
7 for his successor. But his party, the
government party, PRM (Partido Revo-
lucionario Mexicano), last week declared
against important election reforms.
Aside from that problem, Avila Ca
the one of steering Mexico away from
too much revolution" and in doing
so he has accumulated much credit for
progress.
Probably the war did more than any
thing else to help the President steer
his course. The United States aided his
program with experts and money be-
cause it was interested in buying Mex
lean raw materials.
Mexico declared war against Ger
many, Italy and Japan, June /, 1912, but
for some time before that Mexico was
preparing to be a war factory for the
United States. She did not send any
military units to Europe but many SOL
diers of Mexican blood were at the front
and some won the Congressional Medal
of Honor.
Germany bought and sold much here
before the war, many Germans lived
here and many Mexicans were sympa-
thetic to Germany-so Avila Camacho
is given credit by his friends with
certain achievement in putting Mexico
frankly into the war on the Allied side.
Two typical accomplishments of the
President are his campaign to make
every Mexican literate and his fostering
of industry.
People speak and usually think Of the
President as mild, neutral and not
strong. They seem surprised when they
tabulate the Presidents remaking of
Mexico, still incomplete, but well started.
The President is the persuasive type.
He usually speaks only when his back
stage work has swung enough people
into line.
Since December 1, 1910, Avila Ca
macho has given the country broad
social security system, nearing its sec
ond year; a stronger financial system,
|eone-year military service, projected be-
fore Mexico entered the war; much
basic industrial development, better
roads, a stable judiciary, and the United
States-Mexico water treaty, ratified lat
month, which shares the Rio Grc !.
and other border waters for tremendous
future irrigation.

at Ine leVel Wnere 1aNOraDle judgment
will imply an Anglo-American obliga-
ton to act; and 1 believe myself that
irrigation of the Negev alone, if it is
judged practicable, will permit, and, in
deed compel the recognition of the
Jewish right to large-scale immigration.
The fact, moreover, that the Anglo
American Committee can make interim
recommendations upon which the Brit
ish government may act, offers the op-
portunity to prove that such action is
both expedient and just. 1 believe
firmly, moreover, that it is imperative
to associate the United Nations organ
ization with any plan that is intended
to endure. Whatever the ultimate
shape of Palestine's destiny, it is vital
matter that the Jewish home there
should have the assured protection of
world-authority with the legal rights
and the moral duty to see that this pro-
lection is enforced.
I am told that Bevins scheme is an
attack upon the right of the Jews to
become majority in Palestine, and that
it is the wish of the overwhelming ma
jority of European Jews to settle there:
they could then, it is said, form Jew
ish state in which Arabs would be fully
citizens, but through which the Jewish
desire for nationhood could be realized.
On that there are, think, certain nee
essary comments.
Right to Free Emigration.
If it is the wish of the overwhelming
majority of European Jews to settle in
Palestine, the zionists need not fear the
outcome of the committees researches
into the question since their judgment
would then be confirmed. do not see in
the Balfour declaration or in the terms
of the mandate itself any pledge that
there shall be Jewish majority or a
Jewish state 7 think its. clear meaning,
whichever document be taken, is the
right of the Jews to be allowed freely to
enter Palestine so long as that entrance
does not impair the welfare of the Arab.
I think the committee can be shown,
first, that free entrance, viewed objec-
lively, has increased, and not impaired
Arab welfare, and that If Transjordania
be included, and schemes like that of DR..
Lowdermilk are applied there and to the
Negev, the Arabs in Palestine so con-
ceived would lack any ground for oppos-
ing large-scale Jewish immigration
even if it meant Jewish majority.
If now, or later, it is agreed that such
Palestine is fitted for government,
I think the Arabs would be as morally
obliged to accept minority position as
Jews have to do in Rumania or Hun
gary, in Egypt or in Syria. add that
in such Palestine do not doubt that
the Jewish majority would set an exam
pie to the whole of South Eastern Eu-
rope and the Middle East of how a ma
tional minority can be treated with JUS
tice and tolerance.

period between now and the final recon-
mendations of the Anglo-American
Committee was not larger; and I regret
that he did not insist to the Arabs that
it was simple justice to remove the dis
criminatory ban on the Jewish pur-
chase of land. The first would have been
justified by the tragic position of Eu-
ropean Jewry; the second would have
removed the stain of racial discrimina-
ton by law imposed by British policy

terms of the mandate. do not see why
the ban on land purchases should be re-
garded as a British obligation to the
Palestinian Arab when the Mandates
Commission declared that the British
government had no power to impose
such ban.
No Other Place Suitable.
I believe, further, that investigation
will show that no alternative place for
large-scale Jewish settlement can be
found acceptable to the Jews except
Palestine. No other place has historic or
spiritual significance for them. That
means that Bevin is now committed to
finding permanent solution of the
world problem of Jewry so that the Jew
everywhere is, and feels himself to be,
as fully citizen in the land where he
dwells as he certainly feels himself to
be in the Jewish settlements of Palestine.
Bevin has hi eelf said that his own
political reputation is staked upon the
outcome of these proposals. I think
that is fair and proper appraisal of
their Importance. The situation before
which we all now stand, Jews in par
ticular, is far too grave to allow disap-
pointment or anger to prevent these
proposals from having full opportunity
to prove, by the recommendation of the
Anglo-American Committee, and the
decisions built upon them that they
are in fact the solution for which he
hopes. Let me say emphatically that
this Is not time for violence; there
has been too much of it already and it's
result is simply and solely to prevent a
disinterested analysis of the position.
Nor is this the time for boycott of the
committees investigation. am con-
vinced that the work of the Jewish
agency in Palestine can stand up to any
fair investigation.
The time for Judgment is when the
final proposals are before us. It is by
them that Bevin must be judged. That
this method is not the method expected
by the Labor party or by the Zionists
must not be rashly regarded as betrayal
until we have seen the full program that
is its outcome. The two supreme tasks
before the Jewry now are patience, how
ever hard 1t may feel to be patient, and
the preparation Of that overwhelming
case for the principles Of the Balfour
declaration which I believe they are able
to make.

which employed no hired help would be
spared these increased costs.
1t is true that the number of farm
operators decreased during the war, but
the Agriculture Department expects the
number to increase during the imme-
diate years ahead. The department has
this to say about the prospects in a
report on postwar farming opportunities:
After every major war in the last
century in which this country was en-
gagged, there was a back-to-the- farm
movement by returning veterans, in
dustrial workers and others dislocated
by the war.
"The land, likewise, has been a place
for refuge for industrial and other urban
workers in periods of unemployment and
at all times for many elderly and disa-
bled people in search of security and
home.
ut is reasonable to expect that in
the years Immediately following World
War II there will be more than a normal
attempt by people to find opportunities
on the land.
During the first four war years, from
the summer of 1940 to the fall of 1914.
more than 1,650,000 farm men entered
the armed forces. In addition, approx
mately 4650,0o0 farm residents moved
to cities and other nonfarm areas. But
when demobilization comes, large num-
bers of people with farm background
will want to return to farms, and others
without farm experience may turn to
the land as means of livelihood
With nonfarm opportunities closed to
them, most of these migrants to the
land would be willing, the economists
say, to accept smaller return from
farming than would corporation and
its investors.

Is the one-family type Of farming
being supplanted by large-scale farm
ing, operated by big corporations using
mass production methods?
Unofficial reports of trends in this
direction bobbed up during the war
as the number of farm operators dwin-
died and many small farmers were
combined into one operating unit.
Likewise, there have been predictions
by some members of Congress and
some farm leaders that agriculture soon
will undergo an evolution that will
wipe out the small farmers.
Social economists of the United States
Department of Agriculture disagree
with these forecasts. They believe the
family sized type Of farming to be safe.
1t is the type of farming which Fed
eral farm programs are designed to
protect and encourage
While agreeing that some big units
have been formed, these economists de-
clare there is no statistical evidence
that corporation type of farming is
increasing.
Census figures snow, they explain,
that there was some increase in farm
ownership by corporations during the
depression period of the 30s. But
they say it was an involuntary" type
of ownership forced upon corporations
such as. insurance companies, banks
and trust companies-through fore
closures on mortgages.
Information now available indicates,
the economists state, that much of the
corporation-held land was sold to indi-
vidual operators during the war. The
corporations were encouraged to sell by
the sharp advance in farmland prices.
1t is true that considerable portion
of the farms sold during the war were
bought by nonoperators living in urban
areas. Most of these purchases were

LONDON.-It is already obvious that
Jewry in Palestine has reacted with vio-
lent hostility to Ernest Bevin's plan for
its future. So far as I can gather this
hostility is shared by the different Zion
ist organizations in London, and such
news as have seen suggests that Amer
ican Zionists are hostile too. His pro-
posals are completely different from
those principles which the Labor party
has affirmed and reaffirmed since 1899
and as recently as May last. Zionists
who have spoken to me speak with pas
sion of betrayal. Bevin, they say, has,
in effect, yielded to Arab threats and
embarked upon a new policy of appease-
ment.
I have thought long and hard over
this white paper. I agree that it puts
the problem on a plane quite different
from any that Labor party declarations
had either suggested or implied. At this
stage I nevertheless think that con-
demnation is a grave error. think the
wiser path is one Of waiting to see what
the Anglo-American Commission de-
cides. Only in the light of it's recon-
mendations, both interim and final, and
the decisions taken on each, can the
wisdom or unwisdom Of the policy be
judged.

long searching to believe in the neces-

Home Builders Fear
Effect Of Speculation
On Home Price Line
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS.


Home building interests were be-
coming increasingly concerned over
inf1ationary potentialities in the real
estate field, The Star learned this
week, and a substantial section of
the industry appeared to be veering
to the belief that some sort of Gov
ernment control to prevent resale
speculation in homes would be help
full until the acute demand SUBJ
sides.
This new attitude on the part of
many private builders became clear
as evidence piled up that widespread
speculation in homes was sending
prices to alarming levels in some
areas after the lifting of ceiling
price controls three weeks ago.
Builders cited cases in which
homes constructed under priorities
were sold at ceiling levels by the
builders and then resold almost
overnight by the buyers at profits
of $1,000 and $4,000.
Under such conditions, many in
the industry fear the builders VOL
untary "hold-the-line" campaign
could be torpedoed by spectators.
One of the builders most trou-
blesome headaches at the present
moment is the expanding new mar
ket being opened up by the return
of servicemen eager to buy at a
time when construction volume Is
held almost to a standstill by ma
terials and labor shortages.
Builders consider this problem
potentially explosive, and do not
wish to be unfairly blamed for the
lack of building. They are thus
painstakingly pointing out the ham
dicaps faced by the industry as 1t
poises for the leap into all-out home
production.
The industry's current message
to the public carries this refrain:
New housing won't take care OF
demand for a year or two. You've
accepted shortages during the war
with patience and good humor.
We're doing our best to break
bottlenecks. Bear with us until con-
ditions permit production of houses
in volume"
Meanwhile, there was additional
evidence to support this columns
statement a week ago that the
shortage Of housing for veterans is
