STARVATION FACES
EUROPE, owl SAYS

WASHlNGTON.-The Office OF
War Information warned the
American people that unless help
is sent to Europe before winter,
the entire continent will be threat
ened with mass starvation and ex-
posture.
Such a condition, it said, would
inevitably endanger world peace
prosperity.
Thousands of persons will
starve and freeze to death in
Europe this winter unles help
can be rushed from the outside"
the Owl said. Tens of thousands
of others will be hungry and cold.
They will be jobless. If no help
were forthcoming, they would al
most certainly riot"

WILL COMMUNISM GET YOU?

Down in New York the Communist national convention has Just
voted the Communist party back to American life. Does it send a
shlVer down your back? Let's look at the record.
HlghWater Communist mark in any American national election
was 1882, the year of the Great Discomfort William Z. Foster got
lO2,99l votes out of 39,816522 cast. The country went for the New
Deal to the tune of 22,821,857. By 1886, FDR. had pulled the Com
1nunist vote down to 8O,159; by 1910, 46,251.. In 1914 the Communists
did not choose to run.
Or, if you wish, compare with Britain. There the Communists have
actually just doubled their strength in Northumberland 100 per
cent, as you might say. But the gain was from one seat to two out of
$40. In popular votes the Communists poied 81 32 out of "a 1O8 557
at last count.
Judging by the last four American elections and the Labor land
III just delivered in Britain, what the people of both these countries
want is home-syle progressivism, The more We have of it. a FDR
the less power will Communists get-The Chicago Sun

Dangerous Thoughts

The American Medical Association gallops forward with the terri
yhg speed OF a snail. Ten years ago at its Atlantic City convention If
took a firm stand against compulsory health insurance but approved
OF Voluntary budgeting for medical care. This year at it's annual con
Ventlon IN Chicago it roundly condemned compulsory health insurance
specifically in the form of the Wagner-Murray-Dngell bill, as "regi
mentatlon n totahtarianism" (some doctor has been reading Hayek)
but supported increased disqualification insurance on a voluntary
basis" However, the A. M. A. favored Sustained production leading
10 better living conditions with improved housing, nutrition, and santa
ton, which fundamental to good health" The doctors agreed to
support progressive action toward achieving these detectives" These
ar pretty dangerous thoughts, gentlemen. Some of these DAYS n of
your members may let slip the blasphemous phrase social planning"
and then the Trojan horse will be inside your impregnable citadel
of free enterprise.-The Nation.

index was down to lis. In May.
ls4S, the price index was 200. This
means that farm prices more than
doubled In each World War period.
The total farm cash income was
nearly five times as large In 1914

Postwar outlook
When | tell farmers that q big
slump In farm prices will come
during the next few years. they
reply by reciting their increases in
costs-higher wages, higher taxes
and higher everything from imple-
ments to fertilizer. In the long run.
the cost OF product determines
the selling price, but there is al
ways a slump before prices are
adjusted to costs,
All OF the above means that the
wise farmer will today not over
expand or buy more land. He will
:irst get out OF debt; secondly. he
will buy agricultural implements
and make repairs to reduce his
postwar costs; and thirdly. he will
save money, through buying gov
eminent bonds and accommodating a
good bank account for the trou-
blesome years which are ahead.
SPECIAL NOTE: The above mes
sage to farmers is all the more i'm
portant now that Japan has sur.
rendered. Do not be SO jubilant
about getting your boys home that
they will find q farm burdened
with debt or q father who has
failed to recognize and prepare for
the slump in certain agricultural
prices which is bound to follow.
