toward irrigation, and there the Rec
lamation Bureau would be, with full
responsibility to provide water for ir-
rigation and no responsibility what
ever to control floods. And there the
flood would be, charging down the Mis-
souri, River necessitating split-second
decisions for it's control.
What would happen in such a case?
The question has been put to Brig.
Gen. Lewis A. Pick, Missouri River
division engineer of the Army Engi-
neers and author of the Armys part
of the Army-R reclamation plan. Gen.
Pick said any such conflict between
the Army Engineers and the Reclaim
alton Bureau would have to be re-
solved by the United States Supreme
Court.
Meanwhile, we presume, an injunc-
toin would issue against the flood wa
ters, commanding them to stand still
pending decision of the case
For those who doubt sthat floods
wait on lawsuits, the answer is an
MVA, charged equally with RESPONSE
bility for flood control and irrigation,
and empowered equally to deal with
them.

CONGRESS SET TO
WRECK CO-0PS
OF nation

Farm Co-ops and the Central Bank
for Co-operatives are slated for an ex
tremely rough ride in the very neal
future, a statement released last week
by Congressman Walter c. Ploeser
chairman of the house small business
committee, clearly indicates.
Zone of the most important phases
of this investigation will be an in
quiry into the tax exemption privi-
leges of co-operatives and foundations,
the special advantages conferred on
co-operatives through the Central
Bank for Co-operatives and the monop-
olistic features Of certain giant coop
eratives," Congressman Ploescr said.
The coop quiz is proposed on the
flimsy excuse that it is to be part
OF a general investigation of govern
ment in business" While the full text
of the Ploeser statement appears to
be particularly directed against "Con-
sumner Co-operatives" it is disclosed by
the statement that one of the subjects
of investigation is "the extent to
which Consumer Co-operatives have
enjoyed large financial assistance
through direct loans of federal funds
and tax exemption at the expense of
the small independent retailers" The
Banks for Co-operatives serve only
farmers Co-ops and no co-operatives
are exempt from any federal taxes
except the approximately half of the
farmer Co-ops which have elected the
option of Section 101 q2) of the Inter
nal Revenue Code.
The Ploeser statement closes with
the prediction that the investigation
will open the eyes of the American
people to the socialistic trends in
America
Apparently it was intended to take
no chances that the new investiga-
tion would result otherwise than un-
favorably to co-operatives. The sub
to which it is entrusted in
cludes the following congressman:
Evan Howell, subcommittee chair
man and Illinois Republican who, like
Ploeser, ran OUT at
the last minute on the favorable re-
port of the committee of the 10Th con-
gress under the chairmanship of Con-
gressman Wright Patman;

HOUSE fund CUTS
CRITICIZED BY
hFU head

Assailing the house appropriations
committee for slashing Agriculture de-
partment funds for 194S some 81 per
cent below the 1947 level, National
Farmer Union President James G.
Patton. asserted "The economy-mind-
ed S0th congress is going hog-wild in
wrecking any survivors of the social
legislation passed during the Roose-
velt administration
"In place of really cutting the gigan-
tic U. S. military budget, where major
savings might be made, they are
smashing first and hardest at farm
ers and plain people everywhere, as
their action on. both the Interior and
Agriculture bills show" Patton con-
tinued.
In support of his contention, Presi-
dent Patton pointed out that:
h The school lunch program, admin
istered by the Agriculture departments
was slashed from SIS million to $45
million by the house group-with the
effects to be felt by children in all
cities and towns where it operates
2. The slash also hits hard at the
Farmers Home Administration, which
makes loans to farmers and veterans
going into farming, resulting in secur-
ity for the family-type farm The
committee eliminated $35 million FHA
farm-buying loan program, which over
the past 10 years has benefited $4,000
farmers buying their own land and
staying in production, when otherwise
they would mostly have quit and
sought work elsewhere.
3. The committee also cut the FHA
program of loans for operating ex-
penses, such as purchasing machinery.
seed, feed, fertilizer and livestock,
from 500 million to $50 million. Since
the war some $4,000 veterans had got
either farm-buying or operating loans,
and FHA has applications on hand
from $4,000 more veteran loans, which
will be severely curtailed unless the
house economy drive is checked.

Said Mr.. Mcdowell, "There are
groups here that hate certain religions
and hate certain nationalities and hate
one thing and another. But as far as
can find there is no evidence that
they're dangerous. The only danger
is if they join together, and you need
money for that"
Mr.. Vail said, of the Columbians,
that "all these movements are rela-
lively insignificant They are of no
consequence at all and are fluttering
movements that develop in a country
of this size
Probably True
He also said that it is the commu-
nists who are attempting to build up
the fascist issue" and further added
that Il wouldn't know a fascist if | had
one by the tail"
When they dismiss the whole sub
ject after an investigation consist
ing of one 10-minute meeting these
reveal complacency-a
senseless, anesthetized complacency-
which plays into the hands of any
subversive element.
Perhaps the term fascism confused
the subcommittee. Perhaps its mem
bers don't even know what fascism is,

feet blueprint for fascist state But

Let us suppose hypothecal case,
which is a good thing to suppose be-
cause it is exactly the kind of case
that is likely to occur, and to- keep
on occurring time and again, year
after year.
Suppose a flood is moving down the
Missouri River system, and the Army
Engineers want to let large amounts
of water out of the big storage reser-
voirs in advance, so that there will
be plenty of storage capacity to cap
ture and store the flood crests when
they arrive.
But suppose the Reclamation Bu-
reau, which is responsible for seeing
to it that there is enough water for
irrigation, objected to releasing wa
ter-or so much water-from the stor-
age reservoirs. Suppose the Bureau
said: "That water is going to be
needed next summer for irrigation. If
we waste it out of the reservoirs now,
maybe we will be able to refill and
maybe we won't. But a bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush, so we
will keep them fairly we'll full, flood
or no flood"

tee investigating un-Ameriean activi-
ties, they should be able to recognize
such activities.
"The Man" BiIbo
Dc these gentlemen know that a
senator was reelected not long ago on
a platform which denied to one group
of citizens rights guaranteed them by
the q. S. Constitution? Do they know
that the mass murder of negroes and
the desecration of synagogues are not
uncommon occurrences in this country
of ours?
The seeds of fascism are in such
actions 1t is not true, as Mr. Nc
Dowell says, that the hate groups have
done no harm. 1t is not true, though
Mr.. Vail would have us believe it, that
the communists are the only ones who
are raising this issue.
The issue is raised by Americans
who are proud of their country, it's
government and it's traditions, and
ashamed of those who debase them.
there are more of such
Americans than of those who think as
members of this subcommittee do, and
who apparently are content to let
America remain the land of the lynch
mobs as well as the free, and the home
OF the Klan as well as the brave.
