ship of the majority party has, as
this record will reflect, decided that
lights and power for farm people
are worthy of exactly IS minutes
time. :. am surprised to see
such tremendous interest shown in
the farming people of America"
Farmers Can Win
Even though the Republicans used
the shabbiest and most shameful tac-
tics, including deceit and Justification,
to steamroller farm cuts through the
House, they came within six votes, at
one point, of being defeated. On this
vote to recommit the farm bill, which
would have thrown it out, Rep. Arends,
the Republican whip, won majority
only by getting up and shaking his fist
at several wavering COP representa-
tives. Like Rep. Case (R, SD these
then responded present
but not voting"
If the farmers speak out in protest
against the House cuts, they can not
only save the farm programs in the
Senate but also get the House to back
down. To win a victory, however the
farmers will have to pound the Senate
with protests, individually as we'll as
through their farm organizations,
while at the same time enlisting the
support of the labor movement.-FactsI

place of their scalpels. They cut off
all farm loans for veterans, Topped off
funds for farmer-committeem use,
slashed crop insurance funds by 1870,
and decapitated most of the little that
was left of the Farm Security Admin
istration, now the FILA.
Invoked Gag Rule
In order to rush their bill through
the House before the farmers back
home had time to find out what was
afoot, the Republicans got the Rules
committee to put gag" on the de-
bate In this way, they were able to
write legislation into an appropria-
tions' bill, tying the school lunch pro-
gram into knots, for example, while
the opposition was prevented from
having these jokers tossed out by ask
ing for "a point of order" which is
the usual procedure.
No time for any real discussion of
the farm bill was allowed on the floor
of the House Everything possible
was done to jam the bill through, to
cut off discussion, and to spare legis-
lators the embarrassment of having to
stand up and be counted on specific
cuts Rep. Poage Cd, Tex pointed
out that only Is minutes were allowed
in which to settle the fate of rural
electrification.

A Bust Coming
All fear that giving all we make to
foreigners is worse for the national
debt than pump priming of the New
Deal, and that a depression is at hand.
Some sensible senators = Taylor of
Idaho, Murray of Montana, Pepper of
Florida, hope to avoid a bust by spend
ing the surplus product of farm and
labor in valley authorities = getting
something back for u.s.
These laugh at Taft's cry 1--WE must
protect the PEOPLE from labor.
There are So million who have Jobs:
so million of these are workers: each
worker has IL dependents; that
makes 125 million persons, but, accord
ing to Taft, the remaining 1S million
ho
be protected.
Cannot Continue Forever
Our economy is thought by students
in the East to be on the high road to
a bust. Any merchant whose business
is slow can increase his sales by
lending money to insolvent buns with
which to buy his goods. No matter
what his wealth, he cannot keep it
up forever. That is the Truman plan
applied to common commerce. Some
sane men oppose this folly. Murray
of Montana, Byrd of Virginia, an ultra
conservative Democrat; Pepper of
Florida, Johnson of Colorado, for in
stance, bitterly oppose loading the
world famine on American workers
and farmers.
AS for our doing it for charity, that
is hypocrisy. 1t is being done to keep
from piling up the surplus product
which workers and farmers produce
above what the 60 families permit |
them to keep.
Holland and Turkey are rich and
fat. If we were starving they would |
give us nothing. We gave Japan one |
hundred million dollars to repair the |
earthquake damage to Tokyo some,
years before Pearl Harbor England |
wants two billion more We will give
it under the Truman Doctrine. Wash
ington will pretend to our inert masses
that this is charity. 1t is done only
to keep going false division of the
product of toll. By it the minerals,
oils, lumber, wheat fields, corn valleys.
cattle pastures, men, women of Amer
lea, are being exhausted to feed an
lngrateful world, and this outside
world realizes that our rulers do not
carry it on for charity, but just to
'un our system Of unfair division of
wealth a little longer.

Redskins Want Layne
And GiImer, But
Prefer Linemen

Both Bobby Layne Of Texas and
Harry Gilmer of Alabama would
look good in the 1948 Redskin back
field, President George Marshall said
today, "but our problem is defense,
not offense," he added. Both have
been mentioned as the Tribes bonus
choice in the National Football
League draft, and both are passers.
Wed like to have those boys and
half dozen others finishing their
college careers this season." said the
Redskin boss. But we won't an
nounce our bonus choice until he's
signed, sealed and delivered to the
Redskins"
1t is no secret that Layne, Gilmer,
Charley Conerly of Mississippi-to
whom the Tribe already holds the
National League rights-and several
other top-notch collegians have been
thoroughly secuted by the Washing
ton club. But the Skins can't talk
contract until all the bowl games are
over, but in any event Marshall pre-
fers to grab a good lineman.
Gilmer is tall and thin, weighing
less than ITO pounds, who proved he
could pitch for a loser as well as a
winner and still look good at Ala
bama. He'll face Layne in the Sugar
Bowl game January l, and if the
Redskins have choice that game
should decide it.
But we want to bolster our de-

Orrel Mitchell, head coach OF the

in place of Jack George, st. Johns

who probably will miss the game
due to an injury. Taylor comes
from Dewitt, while Fullback Dof1ort

GI-Japanese Bride Reports
Help Naturalization Push

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. Sept. 9-Recent
reports from Yokohama indicating that one
third of the 800 Japanese GI brides married
non-Nisei grooms create new situation for
the Issei naturalization drive, according to
Mike Masaoka here recently.
Over $50 GIs and ex-servicemen will soon
return to this country with their wives and will
then discover, if they don't know already, that
their wives are not eligible for American citi-
zenship,' Masaoka said.
The CT bill granted the war brides per-
mission to enter this country permanently,
but did not mention naturalization rights.
For the first time, a substantial number of
Americans not of japanese ancestry will find
that members of their family are not eligible for
q. S. citizenship under the present naturalza-
ton laws" said Masaoka.
1--WE hope that their voice will be heard
throughout this country to assist us in our cur
rent drive to erase racial qualifications from
our naturalization laws" he concluded
