Washington, ID. G..
I've just come up from the barn
yard OF a Maryland farm. In the
barn was comfortable crop Of hay
and wheat, outside herd Of fat
Guernseys of all ages from a two
weeks old calf up. Most OF the
chickens were already cooling them
selves in locker. There was only
one thing for the farmer to COM
plain about and the hogs, got a
break out Of that-the oats.
''Just too wet this year." he said.
For fear it would set the barn
afire, if he stored it in that condi-
ton, the farmer explained that he
'had to dump it, and batch OF
shoats were leaping around In the
spoiled grain like jack-rabbits. Most
of the farmers hereabouts lost their
oats, too.
All week in Washington, I'd been
reading, talking and thinking about
farm products along with our other
reconversion problems. We, in the
United States, are going to get only
about three-Quarters of what we
raise this year, according to unofi-
cial estimates. Europe is going to
need about rs per cent more food
and textiles than she nor1nslly
needs.
I hear the questions asked: Why
should we be expected to send all
this food to Europe? Why can't she
produce her own? Are the people too
lazy, or inefficient or what?
put those two questions to a
member Of the department Of agri-
culture who is just back from an in
spection tour Of Europe.
Europe has always imported
food, in peace and in war, in fat
years and lean," he answered. ITO
send food to Europe is the natural
thing. Not to send it would be I'M
natural"

My informant gave me some inn
pressive figures.
He pointed to Americas two typi.
cal farm states which taken together
are just about equal to Britain in
area: Iowa and Indiana. Believe it
or not in normal times Britain pro-
duces more wheat, barley and oats
than those two states combined.
Britain also produces more cattle
than Texas which is six times as
large-more potatoes than all our
chief potato states including Maine
and Idaho, more dairy products than
Wisconsin.
''Then why on earth,'' I inter-
rupted, F"can't they feed themselves
over there?"
Back came the answer: For the
same reason that New York state
with its skilled farmers, its splen-
did soil, its up-to-date methods,
can't feed itself any more than the
District of Columbia can. In Europe
as in these more heavily populated
areas in the United States. there are
just too many people,"
If we want these Europeans to
live and prosper and earn the money
to buy our automobiles and type
writer's and other gadgets which
keep our factories running, we'll
have to keep on sending food to Eu-
rope as we always have.
Recently was asked to make a
recording which was to be deposited
in the archives of George Washing
ton university, as part Of a series
made for the use of the class Of the
year 2007. It Is somewhat fantastic
idea to be sure, but it is seriously
undertaken and I responded in as
serious vein as / could muster. I
can't repeat what I said as that is
supposed to be held as a big sur
prise for the class of 20O7. However,
the whole idea intrigues me so much
that l have been thinking about it
ever since.
The fact that this year begins
what some people call the "atomic
age" makes the speculation all the
more interesting. In 1889 when the
first successful experiment in ''split-
ting the atom" and releasing the
vast power which literally holds the
world together was reported chiefly
in scientific publication as of great
academic Importance. One writer
said the experiment might have no
results of interests beyond the labo-
ratory. Six years later continual
ton Of those experiments ended
the japanese war.
The forces released, however,
were largely uncontrolled and pure
ly destructive.
Will the class Of 2007 have to look
up the word ''coap' because it has
been forgotten? Will all our mod
ern means Of generating power be
displaced by the atoms forces, care
fully controlled and directed to the
uses Of peace and progress?

Stricken Europe Needs
Large Imports Of Food
Never Able to Raise Enough Fare for Its
Teeming Masses, Old Worlds Demands
Aggravated by Ravages of War.
By BAUKHAGE
Nevs ANALYST and Commentator.

When 1t was cut off there had to be
a shift from livestock to root crops.
The Germans organized and regi-
mented farm labor in all countries
including their own. They main
tanned transportation fairly well un-
til just before the invasion. Now
transportation is utterly disrupted,
there are millions of displaced per-
sons, farm machinery is broken
down.
But this doesn't answer question
number two: Why can't Europe
feed herself in normal times?
Before answering that question,
my friend reminded me that it was
true that nobody always works at
maximum efficiency, that most peo-
pie can do more when they have to
than when they don't, especially
when there is some extraordinary
urge such as war. Take our own
case: with thousands Of farm boys
in the munitions factories and with
the armed forces, what did America
do?
American farm production in 1914
was increased, despite its handicap.
36 per cent beyond the 1895 to
1889 level.

Britaisa's Farm
Output High

But what about England where the
boys were in the army and the NUM-
tons factories, too; where farmers
had to farm in the blackout and
around the shell-craters in their
fields? The British increased their
production 65 per cent 49, they were
nearer to the front than we were.
They had greater incentive.
For the same reason, the distribu-
ton was far better than in Ameri-
ca. RECOMMENDATION was more strin-
gent. The government in England
bought all the food and distributed
it itself. It cracked down hard on
the black markets.
So much for Britain's wartime eff
fort. Now, what about the efficiency
Of her production in normal times?

any other state in the nation. The
forest harvest is placed at $62.500-

MRS. HARRINGTON OPENS SUNDAY AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Greer Carson and Walter Pidgeon, the incompatible and .unforgettable team which made boxoffice history with Mrs. Miniver", Blossoms In The Dust" and Madame Curie" are together again on the screen in Mrs. Parkington," as two of fic- ticn's, most colorful characters, in one of the years lustiest love stories. Based on Louis Bromfield's best selling novel, the Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer film version of Mrs. Park ! lington,' which opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre, marks a dis | tinct departure from previous nus band and wife" portrayals of Pidgeon and Miss Carson. Fire, gayety, pow CT, worldliness are the dominating characteristics of Susie and Major Augustus Parkington.
 Enccmpassing a colorful period from 1872 to 1888, Mrs. Parkington gives Miss Carson her most fascinat- ing, as well as her most difficult screen characterization. AS Susie, the star ages" from IS to 83 and develops from a naive daughter of Nevada boarding-house keeper in- to an international beauty and wit and finally into wise, witty regal matriarch.
 A decided transition from his shy, scientifically-minded Pierre Curie, Pidgeon. as Major Parkington, is a swashbuckling, ruthless, yet always charming empire builder; rugged character who delights in rich liv- ing and the company of pretty woman.
 Few motion pictures can boast such an imposing cast as has been select ed aid Miss Carson and Pidgeon in bringing Mrs. Parkingtcn" to the screen.

COMEDY OPENS TOMORROW AT
 10TH CENTURY

Sunday at the 20th Century Thea trc movie fans are going to have tho opportunity to see a film that is reported to be one of the funniest of this, or any other, season. It is Paramcunt's romantic comedy, No Time For Love, co-starring Claud- ette Colbert and Fred MacMurray with Ilka Chase, Richard Haydn, Paul McGrath, June Havoc, Marjorie Gateson and Bill Goodwin.
 Directed by Mitchell Leisen, No Time For Love-" tells the hilarious story of sandhog (tunnel digger, to the uninitiatedD and lady. The sandhog is played by MacMurray in what is said to be his best cave man manner. The lady, Miss Colbert, is seen as very arty photographer, accustomed to taking pictures of stuff like eggs against black velvet back drop, is ordered underground to snap sandhogs in action. She comes up with very interesting picture. and MacMurray!
 Before the final fadeout in which that worthy gent carries Claudette off on his shoulder 0iterally), there are any number of real, old-fashion- cd belly laughs most of them on Miss Colbert.
 From all accounts No Time for Love" adds up to a lot of motion pie ture fun in the best Colbert-M Mac Murray style, which is plenty good enough.
