N Constructive Postwar
Program for Agriculture
a
theme Postwar Program for Agriculture"
~ ...1 By HON CHAUNCEY SPARKS
Governor Of Alabama


INSTEAD of advocating a detailed and final
blueprint for. our postwar economy, 1
principles upon which, in my opinion, any
valid planning for our nation must be based.
Business, industry and finance, as well as
government, too often are putting the cart
before the horse by assuming enormously, in
their planning that JOBS MAKE PROSPER
Try RATHER THAN REALIZING THAT
PROSPERITY MAKES JOBS.
Some prominent national organizations and
governmental agencies have based their entire
postwar planning on the assertion that the
economic cycle begins with the factory pay
roll This type of planning seemingly has the
support of the other organizations and agen-
cies generally considered as representative of
public and private thinking.
TTNHE nations goals we can all agree, are an
Il abundance of well-distributed wealth, a
top level of employment and high standard
of liying-the basic elements of prosperity.
On the economic side first we must recog-
nize that subsidies and other artificial stimuli
are not permanent solutions OF agriculture's
problems. Intense changes have manifested
themselves in our agricultural economy as
result of the efforts Of strong interest groups
which have espoused the cause of our farmers
and as a result Of well-meaning federal ad-
rninistration.
The objective toward which our programs
have striven has not always been elimination
of basic faults and often has been unnatural
stimulation by means of legislative handouts.
WHEN WE CONSIDER OUR RECENT
FEDERAL MEASURES TO AID THE
FARMER, WE CAN BUT REALIZE THAT
THEY ARE POOR SEDATIVES.
Emphasis has been on reducing production
and providing it a crutCh rather than making
production more efficient, increasing markets,
and perfecting distribution.
On the whole, our farm programs have
concentrated on short-term problems, those
that can be attacked in terms of prices and
incomes over a period OF a few years. Plans
have largely revolved around aid for the com
mercially significant farmers, and little help
has gone TO the more disadvantaged- the
smaller, poorer farmers and farm tenants and
wage-workers.
THERE is something basically wrong with
Il agriculture which constantly needs nurs-
ing, economic proppng and legislative doles.

He does not petition for gifts but for COM

We speak often of free enterprise. With its

In either case. lock forward to the time

The big 3 ana "a Free Press
By BENJAMIN De CASSERES

"The only security Of ALL is in free
press"-THOMAS JEFFERSON IN A LET
TER TO LAFAYETTE, 1923.
nNE will have to hunt quite a while to find
" anything in the Big Three communique
concerning the freedom Of the press in
Europe, particularly in those countries around
which Russia has built Chinese wall of
silence across which she has scrawled for the
benefit" of American, English and other
Allied newspaper correspondents - NO
.THOROUGHFARE UNDER PENALTY OF
IMPRISONMENT y.
We Americans know that free, inde-
pendent press. is the very body blood and
breath of human liberty.
But it seems from the casual way refer
ence of the freedom of. the press is made in
the communique that the liberties of the Euro
pean populations were the last things in the
consciousness of the Big Three and that the
first thing in their minds was, "Who gets the
hogs share of the real estate swag?"
DURIED more than halfway down in the
- communique is this curiousy worded sop
of Stains TO America and England;
THE three powers note that the Polish
provisional government -. has agreed TO the
holding of free and unfettere1 elections
and that representatives of the Allied press
shall enjoy full freedom to report to the world
upon Developments in Poland before and dur
ing the elections"
Here the three powers merely mote that
the provisional government of Poland has
agreed to do so-and-so and that it is also
"uotr4" that foreign correspondents can 60
into Poland and report merely about what
Russia's puppet state is doing.
Please mote" also that there is no guarantee
of these things from the Big Three.
Buried away in another portion of this
bloodless and flexible communique we find
this:

Note that "the three governments bate no

What are they waiting for?
Why has not Stain already granted full
freedom to report to the world upon develop
ments in Romana. Bulgaria, Hungary and
Finland"
WHAT customary Russian terrors and
"liquidations' are going on in those
countries that all Allied correspondents have
been kept out?
What Developments" will it be proper
to report in some vague tomorrow that
could not be reported to the world yesterday?
And why did not the Big Three mention
Yugoslavia, Austria, the three Baltic states
and wherever else Stain has taken over ter
rtory by unilateral agreements with himself
in defiance to the Atlantic Charter, the Yalta
Conference and common decency among
Allies?
These anemic and weasel words on the
greatest question of the times-FREEDOM
OF THE PRESS-ft perfectly the rest of the
tone of the communique.
It speaks loudly and unmistakably in
regard to the division Of war-loot, but il only
WhiSpers when it comes TO that for which
America and England fought this war -
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, of MINDS, of
PEOPLES and ELECTIONS throughout
Europe.
If we lose this war ideologically it will be
because of Joseph Stain, in whose vocabulary
the word LIBERTY is unknown.

Small American Grour
Would Project Nazis,
||zvestia Writer SAYS
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, June 16.-A writer in
the government newspaper Izvestia
said today that some Americans
were supporting a small but in
fiuential group OF friends and pro-
tectors of German Fascism," who
sought to defeat every effort to wipe
Naziism from the earth.
The writer, A. Georgiyev, declared
members Of the group included the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Gerald l.
K. Smith, William Randolph Hearst
and Col. Robert r. Mccormick and
Republican Senators Alexander
Wiley of Wisconsin and Robert A
Taft of Ohio.
Mentions Luce and Wife.
Others In the group, the writer
added, included "reactionary Cath
olic priests and greedy businessmen
enriched from secret dealings with
the enemy" He said they repre-
sented mixed elements, but were
united.
Georgiyev also attacked Henry r.
Luce, magazine publisher, and his
wife, Republican Representative
Clare Boothe Luce of Connecticut.
He quoted Luce as writing In Life
Magazine recently that "for us
(Americano the uphol9ing of the
idea of law Is more important than
determination Of the Nazis."
Called Vocal Minority.
Georgiyev asserted that 1t was ap-
parent Luce's opinion was that
punishment of the instigators and
organizers of a system Of lawless-
ness unheard of in history is a vio-
lation of the law"
The writer said that While Luce
defends Fascist criminals on the
pages Of his magazine" his wife, lin
hySterical speeches, continues the
propaganda of Goebbels about the
'Bolshevik danger and spreads pro-
vocative inventions about the inten-
tions of the u. S. S. r. to establish
rule over Europe"
Georgiyev charged that these
American advocates of reaction"
represent loud and vocal minority
whose political sympathies and ef-
forts are in direct opposition to the
national interests of the United
States"
