tion beds, the prospects of increas-
ing and rationalizing live stock
breeding were very great. In or
der to exploit these possibilities, a
program was adopted which had as
target the winning of at least
25,000 hectares per annum of new
land for cultivation - mainly cul-
tivated fields for grazing = and it
was the further intention to increase
milk production and breeding.
In view of the fact the breeding
of cattle relied almost entirely on
homegrown fodder leg. in 1923
imported fodder seed was only O.4
per cent of the local seed) there
were decided possibilities for an
increase in butter, bacon, and egg
production by importing cheap TO-
reign fodder seed and fodder of
high food value, as has always
been done in Denmark and Hol-
land.
Owing to the reorganization of
the egg-sellers' cooperative socie-
ties, governmental control Of egg
prices, and the organization of in
cubator stations, etc., all of which
has taken place during the last
few years, there were good pros
poets of further development OF
egg production in Estonia and the
export of eggs from there.
There is no doubt that the Baltic
States, with their darge resources
in the cattle breeding field, and the
peoples zeal and love for their in
dividual farms, could become flu
ture granary to satisfy in part
Europe's needs for agricultural pro.
ducts.

Stratton Bill, to admit 100000 dis.
placed persons to this country an.
nually for four years has been call
ed the chief sin of omission of the
8Oth Congress.
That the bill is not dead is ad-
mitted, but it is question whether
1T will be more favorably regarded
at some future session. Time GER
tainly is running out for the 8OO,-
600 refugees still in European dis
placed person camps and much fur.
ther delay would destroy whateve,
effectiveness the Stratton Bill might
have had.
Congress neglect of the bill, ap-
parently was not based so much
on opposition to it, as to fear OF
political consequences.
Reports indicate that public SEN
timent is largely in favor of admit
ting these homeless victims of the
war. But few powerful organi-
cations, well represented in Wash
ington, have frightened Congress
into hands-off policy.
The chief argument against the
Stratton Bill-and it seems to- be
advanced by only a few groups
is that we must first provide ade-
quate housing and employment fo,
our own people, particularly veter.
ans, before bringing in any siz.
able number of immigrants.
That, of course, is powerful
argument particularly in a Ma.
tion suffering a critical housing
shortage that gives no promise o1
early alleviation.
But there is an alternative tina
the sponsors of the Stratton Bill a:
we'll as it's opponents, may have
overlooked
That is the possibility of apply
ing the terms of the bill to tn
thousands of orphan children nov
in the displaced person camps.
They could be brought to tn
United States in large numbers
and through religious and publ
agencies placed by adoption in tn
American homes.
Authorities state that there ar
thousands of such children of goo'
stock who could be admitted unde
this plan.
Their entry, under the condition
outlined, would create. no insur
mountable problems. They woul'
become part of established famil.
units. They would be no NOR
likely to become public charges thai
the children of native homes. The.
would be young enough to be as
simulated easily into the American
way of life.
After all, it is the children AM
particularly the orphans, who will
suffer most if there is not som
alleviation of the tragic hardship
under which the displaced person
now exist. ~
What is to become of them?
Are they to live out their live
without hope and without oppor
tunity behind guarded prison fen
ces? Are they to suffer a life
time for mistakes which were mad
long before they were born?
America, with it's traditions a
land of refuge and opportunit,
For the oppressed, faces a human
itarian obligation which, in goo
conscience, it cannot dodge.
1t cannot dodge that obligation
to any fair proportionate numbe
of displaced persons, young or ole

TAX CLAIM
SETTLED, REPORT
Total Estate And Gift Tax
OF Late Edsel $751;
zoo, 900

WASHINGTON, Sept. Of
The remaining tax claim of $780,
446, 284. SO against the estate of
Edsel B. Ford, son of Henry
Ford and former head of the
Ford Motor company, has been
settled for $3.50, 724.27, it was
learned today.
Mechanically this figures
out at settling for II cents on
the dollar. Actually, the govern
ment reduced the amount it
claimed was still due. It con-
coded that originally it over-val-
ued Ford Motor company stocks
owned by Edsel Ford.
Mrs. Eleanor Clay Ford. Ed
sells widow and executrix of his
will, obtained the settlement
from the internal revenue b,i-
reau last month and the agree
ment now has been recorded in
the United States Tax court.
The $3.50, 724.27 payment is
in addition to a SIS, 1924, 1863. G7
payment by Mrs. Ford in Au-
gust, 1914, and brings estate tax
collections in the case to s24.-
635, 0e3.3 the court records
show.
Another 50, $780, 900 was paid
by the estate in taxes on gifts
made by Edsel Ford before his
death on May 26, 1913. AMI
brings his total estate and gift
tax payments to more than $685.
