Washington, (NWNS).-Aithougi
President Roosevelt is generally Civ
en- the credit for being the father Of
the New Deal, there is littlt doubt
after listening to the testimony Of
form C. Vice-President Wallace be-
fore NefS senate commerce committee
that Mr.. Wallace is its most ardent
guardian.
For in his statement to the commit
tee, Mr.. Wallace frankly and clearly
expounded all of the principles OF
New Dealism and went several steps
farther than the President has ever
gone in proposing government-con-
trolled social reforms. 1t was obvi-
Gus, while listening to Mr.. Wallace,
that this committee hearing was an
historic event For his appeal really
put it up to our representatives IN
Washington TO decide, once and for
all. whether our government should
become a loving and generous parent
to the people. or should consider
personal social responsibilities to be
outside of its province.
Mr. Wallace made it crystal clear
that the kind of government. ne
dreams about, and will work fos, is
one which will guarantee a job to
every man, will assure each citizen
g comfortable home, adequate medi-
cal care, protection against econom-
ic worries, and good education. He
wants to make the Presidents Sec
ond Bill of Rigl3s'-the proposal
which includes all of these social
programs important as the orig
inal Bill of Rights. And he thinks the
government should spend whatever
number of billions is necessary to
carry out this plan for prosperity
and security for ALL"
Although there are many in Wash
ington who bitterly oppose Mr.. Wal
lace's goals, and consider. them high
ly impractical, .even they will admit
that he put his cards on the table and
left it up to the people and their rep
resentatives to decide whether they
want his socialized type of govern
The Lincoln times., 1945-02-08

nient or whether they don't.
Mr.. Wallace said that the chief
question in deciding whether he should
be secretary of commerce and head
of the RFC should hinge on whether
RFC funds should be used to help
small business or only large business
But he later made it clear that there
was lot more to the decision than
that when he expounded his social
philosophy Of government and his
determination, if put in power, to
give life to that philosophy.
1t is believed by many here that
Mr.. Wallace has high hopes of being
the next President of the United
States and that President Roosevelt
IL working with him toward that end
1t is evident that the man who con-
trolls billions of dollars of RFC funds,
and who will have a major hand in
the postwar employment program,
may be in an excellent position to
run for that office.
Although the Wallace debate took
the limelight temporarily away from
the national service act, that meas
ure undoubtedly is the most impor-
tant war measure which congress has
had to decide upon in a long time.
And from the political VIEWPOINT it is
one of the most difficult decisions
congress has ever had to make. For
it is supported by the President, by
the army, by the navy, and by war
agencies, but is opposed by repre-
sentatives of labor and of industry.
That means a definite split in con-
gress, even though Under-Secretary
of War Patterson, in an interview
with the North American Newspa-
per Alliance, tried to make it entire
ly war problem when he said: "The
issue now before congress is whether
the home front is really ready to
go all-out in backing our men at the
fighting fronts, or whether it is not"

All farmers who are interested in

do well to get their orders in early,
before the supply is exhausted. Orders
for crowns will be accepted at the
office of the Lower Catawba soil con-
servation district.
B. D. Davis and R. B. Gates re-
ceived this week their allotment of
shortleaf pine seedlings. You who
plan to plant trees next year should
get your orders in now.

land of wheat and barley, of vines
and figs and pomegranites, here thou
shalt eat bread without scarceness;

teronomy.
More and more business men and
industrialists realize that the basis
of all civilization, the level of eco
nomic stability, lies in the abund-
ance of the natural resources of a
country. Of these resources, the most
important is soil, which feeds and
clothes the population and furnishes
the elemental and basic income upon
which all other business enterprise

| far as the Russians are concerned;
lit is q case Of mo invitation to Po-
land; no invitation to Argentina"
It Is within the possibilities that
this is a bit Of diplomatic jockeying,
with the Russians seeking some
modification Of the demands of
America and Britain on Polish gov
ernment reorganization. The Rus
slams are anxious to have this Pol
ish question settled and as soon as
possible. It is. as true today as it
was before the conference opened
here that the Russians are deter
mined that the government of Po-
land, however it is organized, must
be a government friendly to the
Soviet republics.
u. s. Wants More Facts.
The Americas undoubtedly will
line up with Argentina, it was pre-
dicted, If the issue is pressed, al
though the United States delega-
ton Is anxious to have more light
on what goes on In Argentina be-
fore 1t commits itself.
The conference last week acceded
unanimously to Russia's demand
that the Ukraine and White Russia
be admitted to the United Nations.
The sequel to this action will be in
vitations to those republics to send
delegations to the conference. That
is something that Russian Foreign
Commissar v. M. Molotov is actively
pressing.
1t is before the Executive Commit
tee. In some quarters these invita-
tions have been lined with Argen-
tina's problem, but having acted
unanimously in support Of Russia s
demand for admission of the two
Soviet republics, the conference
could not reverse itself and deny
them invitations, 1t is said. Certainly
the United States delegation will
make no such reversal.
The Ukrainian and White Russian
delegates are not here now, it was
definitely stated, although there are
some Ukrainians and White Rus
slams with the Soviet delegation
This means that the delegations OF
these republics must be first organ
lied and then come to San Fran
cisco. If they came by air, it would
lake them at least five days.

question arises whether this new in.

Security
Continued From First Page )

Another conference problem, the
question of fitting regional security
organizations into the framework of
a world structure for keeping peace,
may start coming to a head this
week.
The Pan American republics want
to bring theirs in, and some want it
to have the right to use force with
out going to any general security
council for approval.
The Philippines want to establish
one for nations bordering the Pacific.
Several Western European nations
are talking about another. And the
Arab countries already have a work.
ing agreement.
Deadline on Oaks Plan Charses.
The latter, in fact, have filed with
the conference secretary copies of
their pact of the League of Arab
States" proclaimed in Cairo last
month.
The conference has set a deadline
of next Friday for getting in pro-
posed changes in the Dumbarton
Oaks plan. However, officials said
most nations had laready submitted
their proposals.
It seemed likely that the week
ahead would bring a clearer per-

House Food Report
Expected 10 Criticize
0PA Policy Sharply

A report sharply critical of OPA
activities against black markets,
and expressing dissatisfaction with
the recently announced 10-point
Government program to encourage
meat production and distribution is
expected tomorrow from the House
Food Investigating Committee.
1t may recommend the entire food
problem be placed under one of1ice
combining the food functions of
the OPA, the War Food Admin;stra-
ton, Once of Economic Stabiliza-
ton and other agencies.
Commenting on the committee S
work, Representative Andersen, Re-
publican, of Minnesota, ranking Re-
publican member, told a reporter
faulty Government regulations are
forcing 75,000,000 American civil
ians into the black market"
Due Tomorrow.
While he made no attempt to
speak for the committee, congress
sional sources informed on its ac-
tivities said the groups first report
will send critical shafts at the OPA,
VIA and other Government agen-
cies blamed by witnesses for the food
crisis and growing black markets.
If the committees recommends
tions are ignored, Mr.. Andersen told
a reporter, Congress should amend
the price control law to restore
confidence and secure an abundance
of food with efficient and legal dis
tribution."
He said the distribution system
for meat and poultry is near COL
lapse" The OPA meanwhile put
into effect slaughter quotas for nom
federaly inspected slaughterers in
an effort to bring about 4 better
distribution of meat.
TraiIed Black Marketeers.
The report will dwell at length on
black market operations which the
committee trailed from Chicago to
New England in a series Of rowing
investigations. 1t will blame faulty
distribution of the food supply for
the growing meat black market.
Because of lack of Coordination
lin Government agencies) meat
dealers are forced to operate either
in the red or the black-in the red
if they operate within the regula-
tions, or go onto the black market
to make expenses" Mr.. Andersen
said.
A somewhat parallel report Is due
soon from the Food Investigating
Subcommittee Of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee, which has been
instructed to draw up recommends
tions for revised food administra-
ton. But Chairman Thomas, who
heads both groups, is out OF town
and the final report Is expected to
await his inspection.
Jeffers Appointment Doubted.
Meanwhile, Senator Butler, Re-
publican, of Nebraska said today he
believed reports that William M.
Jef1ers might be brought in as food
czar" were "just talk" although he
thought 1t would be IAN excel
lent idea"
A member of the Senate Food
Investigating Committee and close
friend of Mr.. Jeffers, Senator Butler
said he had no knowledge that the
dynamic Union Pacific Railroad
president had been approached for
the job. He added the rumor had
been floating around Capitol Hill
for a week.
Mr. Jeffers successfully carried
out the synthetic rubber program
in the early days of the war after
a report by Bernard NJ. Baruch
recommended full authority over
rubber be centered in strong hands.
