better living. both for the farm fam
lilies and the business community
which serves the farm needs.
There is no question that the
larger-type farm has a role in our
national life. Certain crops can be
raised and marketed by factory
methods. But all indications point
to the continued strength of family
size farms. The farm implement
manufacturers are developing lines
of tractors, combines, corn pickers,
hay balers and other machinery
which will greatly increase the EN-
cheney of the one-man farm. Better
livestock, greater knowledge OF fer
tilization and improved soil con-
servation practices will help small
farms to produce economically.
Senator Murray, who headed the
committees making the survey, has
said regarding the differences be-
tween the two communities: "The
results were sufficiently great to af-
firm the belief that small farms bear
a very important relation to the
character of American rural society"
Evening star., 1947-03-09
Congressional Subpoenos

The Republican leadership of the
House is to be commended for its
recent decision to instruct all COM
mittees that they are not to sub
poena witnesses in the future unless
the subpoenas are first approved by
the Speaker and signed by the COM
mittee chairmen.
This sensible procedural control is
designed to prevent a repetition of
what happened the other day when
Representative Weichel, head of
subcommittee of the Merchant Ma
rine Committee, sought to subpoena
Secretary of State Marshall. Mr..
Weichel tried to do this on his own,
without any prior consultation with
Representative Bradley, the chair
man of the full committee.
Unjustified and unnecessary, the
action amounted to an abuse of the
congressional subpoenaing power,
and it was so regarded by Mr.. Brad
ley and Speaker Martin. What made
it seem particularly fragrant was
that it was directed against a cabi-
net officer whose responsibilities at
the moment were tremendous and
who was too pressed for time-on the
eve of the Moscow Conference.-The be
obliged to testify on relatively minor
issues. To get the information he
wanted regarding Russian lend
lease ships, Mr.. Weichel did not have
to stage the sort of act he staged.

Hollow Economy

The public Is being given dem
onstration of the facility with which
our legislators, at times, can flourish
the economy ak with one hand and
seek to loosen the Treasury purse
strings with the other. 1t is an old
trick, but the public has been led to
believe that the congressional reor-
ganization law, through its co-ordi-
nation of appropriation and revenue
functions, had consigned it to
oblivion.
In the present instance there is
being offered the spectacle of a
House committee complacently ap-
proving bill that would add $780,
100000 to the already heavy cost of
the veterans program, despite the
avoWed determination of the House
itself to slash six billions from the
Presidents budget. The bill, spon-
sored by Representative Kearney,
Republican, of New York, would
raise the ceilings on monthly sub
sistence payments to veterans in
training by from forty to seventy
five per cent. Having voted to Ii.
the lid on the amount a. vetera.
might earn and still receive sub
sistence payments, the committe-
forthwith proceeded to study several
bills which would increase the
amount of the payments.
Veterans Administrator Bradley
recently warned the committee that
If ceilings are lifted and subsistence
allowances boosted, the total cost of
the changes might run well over a
billion dollars. Subsistence pay
ments were never intended to meet
the full cost OF living, he reminded
the committee. If it is proper to
Increase subsistence payments to
able-bodied veterans in training, it
would be only fair to raise disability
payments to the more than 2,OeO, 900
veterans suffering from combat
wounds and other ailments. BY the
time this chain reaction had run it's
course, the fondly nurtured economy
hopes of House and Senate leaders
would have suffered a rude jolt.
The House and Senate cannot
afford to shut their eyes to the
danger of pending proposals for
larger appropriations to veterans
and other groups, however potent
these groups may be politically. The
cry in Congress for drastic econo-
mics in other fields will become a
mere sham if economy is tossed out
of the window under pressure OF
inordinate demands from veterans
or any other special group.

From City Hall
By John w. Thompson, Jr,

District bankers are readying legislc
Jon to head of any District tax on th:
interest from some of their Govern
ment bond holdings. Corporation Coun-
sci Vernon West has ruled such a tax
legal. But the Commissioners have
postponed any action on the ruling
until July to give the bankers a
chance to do something. The case
involves an Interpretation of the Ma
tlonal Debt Act of 1912 which removed
exemption from Federal taxation from
bonds bought after a cortain date
*** X x
Prediction: If Congress fails to enact
program and if it fails to enact some
-ormula increasing the Federal annual
payment the Commissioners will ask
for Treasury loan of 10 or IS million
dollars to do some long postponed pub
lie building.

three city heads are getting touchy

dentally, Commissioner John Russell

Police Chief Harvey Callahan.

Family Farms

There are two major schools Of
philosophy among rural sociologists
and economists. One group believes
that the American way of life is best
served by large numbers of family
sized farms; the other believes that
factory-type agricultural corpora
tions with great acreages will best
serve a Nation that has become 80
per cent urban. The first group has
powerful support in the recently
published report of the Senate Small
Business Committee.
In comprehensive survey of two
communities in California under the
direction of DR.. Walter r. Gold
schmidt of the University of Cali
fornia significant conclusions point
to the value of family farms. The
two towns are of similar size; each
produces approximately $4,000, 900
worth of products annually. The
community of smaller, individually
owned farms offered much more to
the citizens than the community
controlled largely by corporation
farm. The first town had much bet
ter physical facilities for pleasant
living - schools, churches, play
grounds, streets, sidewalks and pub
lie services. The people enjoyed
much better standard of living than
in the community where relatively
few of the workers had economic
stability. The inescapable conclu-
sion is that the smaller farm means

During his lifetime Sir Haiford
John Mackinder had little success in
his determined efforts to arouse his
fellow Britons to the Importance of
what now is called geopolitics. This
coined word describes Sir Halford's
theories as to the relation of geog-
raphy to international intrigue. His
death in London at the age of
eighty-six may serve as a timely re-
minder that his predictions of vio-
lent struggle for control of the great
European "heartland" came true in
World War II-and that the struggle
Is not yet ended.
1t was back in 1904 that Sir Hal
ford first sought to interest fellow
geographers in his vision of an even
tual tug-of-war between the power
which ultimately would dominate
the Russian German land mass and
the maritime power or powers which
would control the seas. He felt that
it was inevitable that the European
continent would come under the
domination of one great power and
that this assumption of power would
constitute menace to the peace of
the world. This power, he believed,
IN time would control what he called
the world island" of Europe, Asia
and Africa.
His first paper on this subject, en-
titled "The Geographical pivot of
History" attracted little attention.
In 1919 he wrote Democratic Ideals
and Reality" more detailed and
prophetic explanation of his ideas.
This work, too, failed to make much
of an impression on the British, but
1t created quite stir in Germany.
General Karl Haushofer read it,
preached it to his "geopoliticians"
and offered it to Hitler as pattern
for a German revival of power.
Hitler was fascinated by this philos-
ophy and adopted lit as guide
for Nazi conquest. Hitler's plan
for invasion of Russia stemmed
from Haushofer's conception of geo.
politics.
Sir Halford watched ruefully as
his own people ignored the dangers
implicit in permitting Germany to
begin its expansion over the Euro
pean ''heartland." To what extent
in the future peacefully inclined ma
tions of the world will heed Mac
kinder's warnings remains to be seen.
