Lacked Vitamins
Although everyone knows that
vitamins and minerals are essential
to health. until 1941 about 40 per
cent of all Americans ate a diet
which failed to provide all of these
nutrients they needed. What Ameri'
a dietaries lacked chiefly were
some of the B-vitamins and the food
mineral iron, and these nutrients
have been added under the wartime
enrichment program.
Moisture Needed
Fertilizers are of no value to the
plant unless the soil contains ample
moisture and air. Fertilizers should
not be applied to dry soil; so, dur
ing periods Of drouth, artificial
watering should be practiced. On
soils known to be highly acid or de-
fcient in calcium this condition
al be corrected by applying agri-
cultural ground limestone or n.y.
drafted lime at a rate Of so to 10
pounds per 1000 square feet. The
rate Of application Of lime should
be based on soil tests, and lime
should be applied only if analysis
shows it is necessary.

IF CONGRESS should pass the full
L employment bill of 1945" this country
would be permanently committed to a
system of planned economy" directed
from Washington, d. c., with no limits
whatsoever in its scope.
The idea adapted from Sir William
Beveridges national budget" plan IN
England, is to 'spend" the country into
full employment"
The President will estimate" for
one or more years ahead the number of
workers. the amount of spending of all
kinds necessary to make Jobs for them
all, and any prospective deficiency IN
this so-called national budget
To meet the deficiency" program
will be offered in the budget" to 'en-
courage" increased spending" by "private
ernments," together with general pro-
gram" of federal spending
TNHE text Of the full employment bill'
i and an analysis" for which Senator
Wagner of New York appears to be mainly
responsible, both show clearly and unmis-
takably that the mild word encourage
is used as a substitute for the hard word
compel"
The bill provides that
THE President shall include in such
budget such recommendations for legis-
latiOn relating to such program as he may
deem necessary or advisable.
"Such program may include, But
NEED NOT BE LIMITED TO. current
and rejected federal policies and activities
with reference to banking and currency,
monopoly and competition, wages and
working conditions, foreign trade and
investment. agriculture, taxation, social
security, the development of natural re-
sources and SUCH OTHER MATTERS
as may DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY
affect the level of NONFEDERAL invest
ment and expenditure"
The language covers everything IN
the way of federal compulsion.
These measures" declares Senator
Wagner's analysis, "shall DRAW UPON
THE WHOLE TOOL KIT OF FEDERAL
POLICIES"
So two of the effects of the full
employment bill would be-
Total RECOMMENDATION of commerce, in
L dustry, finance, agriculture and labor;
and
C-Federal control in the fields Of state
- and local government.
Socialistic as they are in their every

The Middle Wav

4 SUCCESSFUL democracy is safest in

RSe,rotire-Hberois.
This middle of -the-road attitude means
that the conservatism of congressional
and governmental leaders must be de-
veloped along the line of the fundamental
conservative principles of the founders Of
this country as expressed in the Constitu-
ton.
Our liberalism should arise from a
disposition to progress with the will Of
the people when that will does not over
step the doctrine of INDIVIDUAL LIB
ERTY, which is the very core and heart
of the American character and way Of life.
perfect type of American conserva-
tive-liberal is Senator Robert A. Taft of
Ohio.
Senator Taft is not glamorous politi-
cal exhibitionist of a demagogic vote
cadger. His excellent and well balanced
ideas naturally do not attract the atten
tion Of, say leader" who seeks to put
a free bottle of milk on the doorstep of
every family in the world.
Senator Taft has buried away in the
oppeHdir Of a recent number of the
Congressional Record the following sober
and calm presentation of the problems of
our postwar world and their tentative
solution:
Maximum employment and maximum
L business activity: This can only be

General Macarthur

-HE PIC: A poem narrating con-
IL tinuously the achievements
OF one or more heroes" - The OK
ford dictionary.
We use the terms epical and epic
rather loosely, but we are not using
them loosely when we speak of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur as an "epical
figure. y
Just now we Americans, in the
physical conquest of Japan, are IN
the presence of the most amazing
epic ever written by the sword of
history and in Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur we can boast of as great and
epical a figure as ever existed.
There are only two truly "epical"
figures in our whole history. One is
George Washington and the other is
Douglas Macarthur.
There are, indeed, striking psy-
Geological resemblances between the
father of the republic and the man
who stands as a conqueror on soil
that has never been conquered before
Japan.
Both undertook a colossal and
seemingly impossible task-and
SUCCEEDED.
Both have that same INFLEX1-
BILITY OF WILL that moves
mountains.
DOTH have at the core of their
- being a faith in America that
knows no shadow of turning.
That Gen Macarthur is built Of
the stuff that is epical is revealed in
his farewell address to the men Of
the AID (Rainbow) Division which
he commanded in World War I.
1t will rank in epical quality with
the famous funeral oration of Pericles
and the farewell address of Washing
ton, for be it remembered that Gen.
Macarthur when he addressed his
old division in 1885 had no knowledge
of the great future in store for him.
The following excerpts that illus
trate the realism, clarity and gran
deur of Gen. MacArthur's mind are
taken from Macarthur on War"

published by Duell, Sloan & Pearce.

THE realism of a daring mind
Il "On looking back through the
history of English.speaking people it
wiU be found in every instance that
the most sacred principles of free

tected and perpetuated through the
embodied, armed strength of the
people concerned. From Magma
Carta to the present day there is
little in our institutions Worth hdU-
ing or Worth perpetuating that has
not been dchieUed for us by armed
men.
every nation that would pre-
serUe its tranquility, its riches, its
independence and its self-respect
must keep aiiUe its martial ordor and
BE AT ALL TIMES PREPARED
TO DEFEND ITSELF"
And then this tribute to that
unique figure in all military history
the democratic American soldier:
"He belongs to history as fur
nishing one of the greatest examples
of successful and disinterested
patriotism. He belongs to posterity
as the instructor of future genera
tions in the principles OF liberty and
right.
"The me- MORALS of character
Wrought by him can neUer be
dimned. He needs no statues or
monuments; he has carved his oWn
statue in the hearts OF his people; he
has built his oWn monument in the
memory of his compatriots.
In this farewell address you will
find the human, the military the
American soul of our great COM
mander, and today his men sweep
to the very pinnacle of glory by land,
sea and air, for he has crushed the
greatest menace that ever confronted
this nation

"The problem of full employment and
the problem of control of industry are
connected i'm many ways
Sir William Beveridge also ad-
monishes:
Full employment cannot be won and
held without great extension OF the
responsibilities and powers of the state
EXERCISED THROUGH ORGANS OF
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT -.
ITO ask for full employment while
obiecting to these extensions of state
activity is TO will the end and refuse the
means.
1T is like shouting for victory in
total war while rejecting COMPULSORY
SERVICE and rationing."
THlS form of planned economy was
i ABLY discussed last March by DR..
Ludwig Misses, an international authority
now at New York University, in an address
before the American Academy of Political
and Social Science
DR.. Misses said
There are TWO PATTERNS for the
realization of SOCIALISM.
THE one pattern-we may call il
the MARKHAM or Russian pattern-is purely
bureaucratic.
"All economic activities are depart
ments of the government -.
The whole nation forms one single
labor army with compulsory service; the
commander of this army is the chief of
state.
THE second pattern-we may call il
the German system-differs from the first
one in that it SEEMINGLY and NOMI-
NALLf maintains private ownership of
the means of production -.
But the government tells what
and how to produce, at what prices and
from whom to buy, at what prices and To
whom TO sell
The government DEGREES at what
wages labOrerS should work and to whom
and under what terms the capitalists
should entrust their funds :.
AS all prices, wages and interest
rates are fixed by the authority they
are merely quantitative terms on the
authorization orders determining each
citizens income, consumption and standard
of living =.
This is SOCIALISM with the OUT
WARD APPEARANCE of capitalism"
The text Of the full employment bill"
with It's statutory allusien- to use of e he
whole tool kit of federal policy" leaves no
possible doubt as TO how it would affect
the lives of the American people.
This" as DR.. Ludwig Misses has said
means FULL GOVERNMENT CON
TROL, the NAZI compulsory economy"

t-"Most of the war manpower regula-
tions should be abolished so that
any one can get job from any one else,
and the employment agencies should be-

CENATOR TAFT has other remarks to
- make on social programs" but he
always insists that either these programs
should be worked out by the states or by
cooperation between the states and the
federal government.
The Ohio senator thus stands firmly
on his American ancestry and our tradi-
tional and constitutional division between
the states and the federal government
from the latter of which comes whatever
danger may threaten us of being swept
along the socialistic tide that is over
whelming the world.
