Sufficient time has elapsed since
President Truman went into ne
White House to warrant a year-end
inventory Of his reconstructed fed
eral setup. and the result adSs up
to many changes in personalities,
but little switch Of fundamental poll
cies.
In its numerical aspect, the
changes wrought by the President
suggest more of a shakeup than
actually has taken place. for there
still are many intimates Of FDR
in high positions, some of them pro-
NOTED by Mr.. Truman.
James F. Byrnes. secretary OF
state and top man in the Truman
cabinet, was lifted out Of the rela-
tive obscurity of a career senator"
from the southland by Mr.. Roose-
welt. He came within reach of his
present eminence under the guild
ance Of the late President. who ap-
pointed him to the United States
Supreme court, made him war mo-
bilizer and economic stabilizer, and
took him to International confer
ences which built him to the poin.
where he was a natural" for the
state portfolio when Edward r. Stet-
tinius Jr. was moved out by polit-
ical party considerations. Byrnes
was schooled in the Roosevelt ways
and he continues along those paths.
Henry Morgenthau probably would
have remained as secretary OF
treasury had the President who ap-
pointed him lived on. But while he
was more a personal friend, he
was less a political associate Of Mr..
Roosevelt than was Fred VinSon,
the present secretary. And again,
it was FDR who brought Vinson to
the forefront-made him a federal
Judge, then took him into the White
House to share Byrnes' multiple
functions and burdens. He had little
more than passing acquaintance
with Truman, and his present post
was a promotion for a Roosevelt
man."
Robert z. Hannegan, postmaster
general, was slated for that Office
before Mr.. Roosevelt passed away.
1t is political custom to award that
plum to the winning party's national
committee chairman. whether the
Democrats or the Republicans win.
Robert Patterson, secretary Of
war. came in during the Roosevelt
administration as assistant to Henry
l.. Stimson, creating a team of Re-
publicans in the top spots Of the de-
partment. He was advanced by
President Truman when Mr.. Stim-
son retired, although there were
strong representations made to the
White House on behalf of other can
didates, practically all of them
Democrats.
Original Roosevelt cabinet mem
bers retained by Mr.. Truman are
James V. Forrestal in navy. Henry
A. Wallace in commerce, and Har-
old L. Ickes in interior.

Future of Farm Loan

harm leaders here, governmental

farm credit agencies should be
combined under one head within the
department of agriculture, or sepa-

Farm Bureau federation, the Ma

Con. John w. Flanagan Jr., 3D.,

credit agencies from the depart
ment of agriculture and place them
under the jurisdiction OF a bi-parti-
san board to be named by the Pres
ident. of which the secretary of agri-
culture would be an ex-oficio MEM
Der.
On the other hand, the progressive
National Farmers union, the secre-
tary of agriculture and a group of
farm-minded congressman are seek
ing to retain the farm credit agen-
cies within the department of agri-
culture under direct control of the
secretary. but with the appointment

Struggle for Control

Thus, there is a three-way fight
for control of the multi-billion-dol-
lar farm lending agencies. which
since their inception in May, 1888.
have made various types of farm
loans through June 80, 1945, totaling
SIG. 1868, $50, 301 under the head of the
Farm Credit administration, and an
additional billion dollars under the
Farm Security administration.
: The various lending agencies.
which have been established under
the Farm Credit administration gov
ernorship, include the Federal Land
banks, the Production Credit cor
poration, the Federal intermediate
Credit banks. the Federal Farm
Mortgage corporation. the IS Banks
for Co-operatives, Emergency Crop
and Feed loans and the Regional
Agricultural Credit corporation, all
of which, as Of June 80, 1915 had
loans outstanding amounting to ST.
246, 628, 252.
The National Council Of Farm Co
operatives and the Farm Bureau
federation believe the Farm Credit
agencies should be set up on an in
dependent basis much the same as
the Federal Reserve system. and
should coordinate the different
fields Of farm credit loans to elimi-
nate gaps and Implications, operat-
ing within the framework Of the ma
tional governmental policy. under
the jurisdiction of a bipartisan
board Of six to seven members.

themselves. The best wages are
paid only where big investments
have been placed and where good
profits are being made. Econo-
mists say; Wages increase with
capital invested, but it's more
than mere theory.
Investments COMMON SENSE
Make Wages teaches that % in
the long-run peo-
pie get paid for what they pro-
duce, ~ with good equipment
they can produce more and earn
more, (3l but it takes investment
to provide equipment. Every
workman in any plant is richer
because of the investment in it.
Wages in America are twice as
high as in England and six times
as high as in Japan because only
in America are workmen backed
up with Az horsepower of in
stalled equipment apiece, worth
$4,000.
Do American workmen earn
more because they work harder?
No indeed! They do not work as
hard nor as long. Their pay is
in proportion to their production:
twice that of an Englishman,
three times that of an European.
SIX times that Of an Oriental. The
necessary investment has been
made BY men who have prospered
and saved and now hope to pros
per further by intelligent invest
ment.
Under the American system of
Tree private enterprise, a few
nve.talent men are extremely
well paid They earn it because
al they get is very little compar-
cd to the income they create for
others. Less than I6% of the
national income will pay eyery-
body in America who earns sI0.-
O00 q year or more. Occasionally
somebody shouts for eoualized
incomes. What the complainer
really says is: "Down with com
petent men! Let's ruin their IN.

City County

quest from Mr.. F. w. Liddle, City
Engineer. for permission to connect
TO the Trunks of Wayne County
Drainage District No. 5 at the fol-
lowing locations:
To the Oak Street Arm at Oak
and 18th Streets and to the East
Arm at Eecond Street in the alley
North of Ford Avenue.
I have not been furnished with
any detail of either connection.
However the plan submitted indi-
Gates your intention to connect di-
rec,ly into an existing manhola
over our main trunk line on Second
Street. The invert of this sewer will
be approximately Eleven Q10) feet
above the invert of the main drain.
If this is done our Main Drain will
be made inaccessible through this
manhole due to the sanitary sewer
age which vii be pouring into 1t
at all times.
I will be glad to issue a permit
to enter this sewer through drop
connection designed to handle the
dry weather flow of sanitary sew
erage, upon receipt of revised plans
showing such a connection.
The sewers as designed by your
office to connect to the Oak Street
Arm at Oak and 14th Street will
increase the area served by this
Arm by approximately fifty per
cent, which I believe will overload
the drain causing us trouble in the
not too distant future. I also be-
lieve the So" sewer should be con-
nected to our drain through jun
ction chamber and not directly into
the manhole.
Upon the receipt of satisfactory
detail, we will issue the permit to
connect.
1t IS however, to be understood,
that when our permit is issued, it
will be with the understanding that
should the Oak Street Arm become
overloaded 1t will be entirely the
responsibility of the City of Wyan-
dotte of removing the connection
from said Oak Street Arm.
