reach the common intelligence and

IF WE follow the national path"
L Mr.. Wallace asserted, we will
have to remove 100000 to 100000
600 acres of our farm land perma-
nently from production-"forty mil
lion if we take out good land; 100
million if we take out the worst"
This, it is explained, would compel
us to transplant large part of the
agricultural population to new
homes and jobs, or to dole.
The INTERNATIONAL program, we
were told on the other hand, would
require us drastically to "lower
tariffs and reorganize industry, so
that we can receive from abroad
another billion dollars worth of
goods each year"-that is, billion
dollars more than in our banner i'm
port year of 1929.
This "internationalist" program
will put industrialists instead of
farmers out of business, Mr.. Wallace
explained.
'If we are going TO lower tariffs
radically" he wrote, "there may
have to be some DEFINITE PLAN
MING whereby CERTAIN INDUS
TRIES OR BUSINESSES WILL
HAVE TO BE RETIRED.
"The government might. have to
help FURNISH MEANS for the
orderly retirement of such busi-
nesses and EVEN SELECT THOSE
WHICH ARE TO BE RETIRED"
In other words, under the pre-
tense of supporting and saving" the
free enterprise system, to which Mr..
Wallace processes fidelity sometimes,
the government would forbid either
a large number of farmers to farm
or large number of manufacturers
to manufacture, and, by consequence,
a large number of traders to trade
and large number of workers TO
work, unless they work for the gov
ernment.
Banking and transportation
would of course suffer in either case.
60 MR.. WALLACE ponderously
~ offered an easy" alternative.
In his words:
THE planned middle course pro-
pose is one precisely halfway
between those two extremes: A line
of march along which we would
lower tariffs enough to bring in an
other half billion dollars worth of
goods annually, and permanently re-
tract of our GOOD agricultural land
some p million acres"
Industry would be hit in two
ways Under the Wallace plan-part
Of it condemned to death to make
way for foreign competition with
what remained, the rest of it de-
prived Of great part of its home
market in the rural states.
To carry out his middle course,
Mr.. Wallace conceded, would require
a high degree of social discipline
which plainly means bureaucracy in
government, RECOMMENDATION Of the
people, rapaclouS taxation and per-
petually staggering national debt.
This, then, is the long nurtured
program of the man who wants to
be secretary of commerce and di-
rector Of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation with a hundred billion
dollars at his command wherewith to
infiict his job destroying social" and
economic" ideas upon the American
people, and who talks glibly to Con-
greSs about PROVIDING sixty mil
lion jobs.

Like Rexford Guy Tugwell, Mr..
Wallace proposed to "roll up his

Now that President Roosevelt
has nominated him for one of the
biggest jobs in the history of man.
kind, it becomes public duty and
public necessity to rediscover what
this political pet of the New Deals
communistic left wing has had in
mind during these years.
For it must be assumed that the
Wallace doctrines will, if he gets his
wishes, be made an integral part Of
the New Deals fourth-term objec-
tiveS.
Mr.. Wallace contended that there
are two extreme ways in one or other
of which America must" go.
ONE Of these he called economic
" nationalism, the other economic
internationaiism.
MY own bias" he confessed, "is
international. 1t is an inborn atti-
tude with me-"
AS an "internatiOnalist" he would
go all the way" if he could-and
take America along.
Since that may not be possible at
once, however, he suggests "rigor-
ously planned middle trail"
But whatever the course, Mr..
Wallace believes that as far back as
1884 the New Deal had already i'm
posed upon the nation a regime of
RECOMMENDATION and construction from
which there could be no escape.

debit
"HorO are rOe eUer going TO head
of a serious inhation2"
Plainly there are the most serious
and amazing contradictions in the
budget outlook as the President
draws the pattern for it, as the most
friendly analysis must disclose when
honestly made,
The President cannot go in any
two directions at the same time.
He cannot reduce the country'S
debts by INCREASED spending and
borrowing.
He cannot reduce taxes while
advocating the expenditures which
require MORE taxes y
HOWEVER earnestly he may be
IL lieve, and frankly agree, that the
best interests of the country require
it to get out of debt as quickly as
possible and that the best interests
of the people require them to be re-
lieved of excessive tax burdens as
much and as soon as possible, when
he proposes expenditures on scale
that can only be sustained by higher
debt and taxes he is patiently wishing
one thing and doing another.
Until we sbaighten out our
ideas concerning debt management
and Whether the real eUii that We
haUe to fear with the coming of
peace is defation or a continued in
fation," che Times soberly observes,
"Ue wiH not be in position to
Judge the Uisdor either of particu-
lar spending programs or of particu-
lar tax programs"
The accuracy of these observa-
tions is as impressive as the tone of
Encouragement running through
them is unmistakable,
The President represents a school
of thought in government which, as
the Times says, "seems to believe
that through deficit spending the
nation can indefinitely expand it's
production.
All our past experience teaches
us the utter fallacy of that policy,
and if we pursue it to it's ultimate
end our future experience will reveal
it's capacity for utter destruction Of
not only our prosperous and progress
sive manner of life but of our free
way of living.

BETS IN MONTANA
THIRD HARVESTED
Fall Grains Have Good Stand,
Result OF Soil Moisture
Stock Shipments Heavy

Montana sugar beets are moving
to factories as rapidly as the labor
supply permits, potato harvest is
near completion, threshing of al
falfa seed is advanced, corn picking
is active, threshing of dry beans
continues over the state, and the
harvest of some late grains, flax
and hay is being completed, says
the Montana weekly weather and
crop report for Oct. II.
Most of the winter wheat and
rye is now seeded and some is
above ground. Stands of the fall
grains are generally good, but
warm temperatures have not been
favorable for proper stooling. Con-
tinuance of the open weather for
another three weeks should find the
seasons work practically finished.
Sugar beet harvest, which was re-
ported Is per cent along last week,
is now about 33 per cent complete.
Potatoes are all harvested in some
localities and upwards of 80 per
cent of the tubers in other locali-
ties are out of the ground. APP
proximately 85 per cent of the dry
beans and so per cent of the al
falfa seed is now threshed. Thresh-
ing of small grains grown on irri-
gated land continues in scattered
areas, mostly west of the divide,
and should wind up in a few more
days.
Much of. the alfalfa acreage now
clean of hay is being used for pas
lure and is producing very good
feed.
Soil moisture supplies IRE ideal
in most of the state for seed ger
mination and field work. Pasture
and range grasses have shown re-
spouse to the moisture and warm
temperatures, with new growth
Frightening the outlook for late
grazing.
Livestock shipments continue
heavy and feeder lambs are being
received at feeding lots. A car
shortage at several shipping points
is causing some delay in the move
of cattle and sheep to market.

HAW Of n. P. ARGUES
FOR FARM SURPRISES
RATHER THAM5LACKS

st. Paul, Oct. 1.-THE conclusion
that agriculture in this country is
geared to production beyond on
sumption requirements is no more
justified by use of the current po-
tato surplus as an illustration than
to use the scarcity of apples this
year as an example of overall
under-production, j. w. Haw, di-
rector of the agricultural develop
ment department of the Northern
Pacific railway, said in an adj
dress here today.
american agriculture presents a
production paradox this year," Mr.
Haw told members of the Osman
Temple Shrine Booster club. "Cur-
rently estimated production of 432
million bushels of potatoes has been
exceeded only once before in the
past so years-in 1913, when a half
million more acres were planted than
in 1915. Average potato yield of
152 bushels per acre this year is
the largest since records began in
1866.
"In the case of apples, production
is estimated at 68 million bushels
this year, the lowest production in
so years. Average production Of
apples from commercial orchards is
about 125 million bushels and acre
age in orchards has remained about
constant for many years."
1t will never be possible to
achieve a nice balance between pro-
duction and consumption of foods
fibres, Haw said, citing this
apple and potato crop as
evidence that production is unpre-
dictably variable because of wealth
and occurrence of plant and ami
nal diseases in epidemic proper
tons. Consumption also varies,
although not in the same degree,
he said.
obviously it would be a mistake
TO plant fewer acres of potatoes
next year to remedy this years
overproduction; likewise it is OBJ
that if orchardists next year
put out new paintings because of
I945 underproduction, they would
encounter trouble when the orchards
begin bearing six or eight years
fence.
"This country must make
:hoice in its agricultural policy. A
arm plant which produces plenty
an average year and in some !
an embarrassing surplus of
certain products is one choice; the
'ther is a farm plant which pro-
less than requirements in an
lverage year and plenty only in
occasional years of especially fav-
'rable conditions. In one case, the
