FDR GOT 1T RIGHT TEN YEARS AGO

Columnist Tom Stokes, writing on MVA,
recounted President Franklin d. Roosevelt's
comment on river control in 1887. Stokes
wrote:
President Roosevelt put it all in a nutshell
in late January, 1887, when he was asked by
reporters if the floods then raging in the Ohio
valley would give "a stronger interest to more
permanent frood control in that area" He
replied:
II would rather put it on a broader
basis. We had an editorial this morning that
pointed out that whenever we have a flood
we have three or four different groups who
rush to the government to get money for this,
that or the other thing.
There are people downstream, who want
more and better @levees; and the next group
that want dams in the rivers; and another
group that want to go up in the headwaters
and plant trees; and another group that hold
it entirely a question of soil erosion. SO you
get all these different groups that say their
own particularstheory will stop the flood.
Il have come to the conclusion that we
have to pursue, all these things Simultaneous
ly."
That's still a good formula.

A LITTLE

A little progress is being made toward
liberalizing our present federal social security
laws. 1t is regrettable, however, that i'm
provements in that law should have been pre-
sented to congress in the last days of this
years session. with no hope of their imme-
diate enactment.
Senator Murray and Rep. Dingell are pi-
loting the new proposals in congress, which
provide:
l. a flexible retirement provision for per-
sons disabled for longer than six months be-
fore reaching age 65.
>. Reduction of the retirement age from
and mothers.
3. Increasing amount of earnings which a
beneficiary may receive without losing his in
surance benefit from the present S14.99 per
month to $50 a month.
!. Increasing minimum monthly benefits
to $50 for a man and wife, increasing the
maximum to S120 a month from the present
SS5.
5. Payment of a lump-sum burial benefit
equal to six months insurance benefits in all
cases where a deceased person dies while in
sured under the federal security law.
6. Payment of supplementary benefits for
a disabled aged husband or widower of a re-
tired insured woman, and continuation of pay
ments to a child after the age of Is if the
child is permanently disabled.
All these are good improvements, all are of
tremendous Importance and all ought to be
pushed through congress quickly.

BOARD OR CLUB?

There is convincing evidence that Taft
Hartley followers intended to change the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board into a club with
which to beat the advance of unionism.
Every man who has been in a fight has a
healthy respect for a club. Consequently, he
ducks automatically when he sees one being
swung in his direction.
This should explain the action taken by
many unions. They decided that sticking
their heads up and inviting Industry to take
a swing at them simply wasn't sound business.
Neither cowardice nor defiance prompted
their decision to boycott" the NLRB. They
just didn't want to be standing in the path
down which the club is likely to be swung.

LESS MEAT-MORE PROFIT

On July 10, the corn crop estimate of an
expected cut OF 20 per cent was announced.
We were told that this would cause meat out
put to fall off 10 per cent. Bad news for
corn. hog and cattle growers. Also. bad news
for consumers. Bad news. too. for packing
house workers. with fewer days and hours of
work in prospect.
Bad news for the packing companies. be-
cause of reduced meat production? You and
| might think so. But on July 10 and II the
common shares of each of the Big Four pack
ing companies went higher on this bad
news" For the two days Cudahy led the
way with a jump Of $3.50 per share, while
Armour's went up IS cents.
Perhaps Wall street was remembering
1916, when-on considerably reduced meat
tonnage-the Big Four together earned
the greatest profits in their history. Annual
earnings for Cudahy's packinghouse workers
fell at least $500. But Cudahy's operating
profits more than doubled.
Does Wall street look forward to even
greater profits because of another meat short

The American mastery OF modern
farming techniques gives us a big
edge in strength over any potential
aggressor, according to DR.. Herrell
DeGraff, outstanding Cornell Uni
versity agricultural economist.
This is because farm productivity
is an accurate measure of a coun-
try's industrial strength as well as
the health of its population. he said.
Writing In Sideways Magazine,
DR.. DeGraff said. Russia, for in
stance, has yet to win the war OF

they symbolic"
Comparing the agriculture sys-
TENS of the two countries, he said,

we have to go back to shortly
before the Civil War" he added,
ITO find when the American farm
,er's productivity was as low as the
Russians in 1898. American agri-
culture in prewar years turned out
six times as much as each worker
on the land in Russia"
The use of prewar figures was
necessary, DR.. DeGraff explained,
for the reason that the Soviets do
not give out statistics now. He also
said that "even If We had the in
formation, 1t would hardly be sat
isfactory to draw a comparison
since Russia's agricultural produc-
ton was far more disrupted by the
war than ours was"
Although Russia is the largest
nation in the world, containing one
sixth OF the worlds land area, and
with a population one-third greater
than that of the United States,

Graf pointed out. this nations out

tiveness Of his work"
DR.. DeGraff quoted figures to
show that, the Russian farmer
worked SO hours before the war to
grow one acre of corn. while in this
country American farmers worked
only Is hours and obtained double
the yield.
Russians, according to the arti-
Gle, required $50 hours to raise and
harvest an acre OF cotton. American
producers do the same in 81 hours.
While the farmer in this country
labored 9 hours to raise and har-
vest an acre of wheat. the Russian
farmer took az hours and even then
got less wheat. Sugar beets, po-
tatoes, milk and poultry produc-
ton all followed the same pattern.
1.-THE great vitality and produc-
