PROPER STORAGE
SAVES TRACTOR

Shortages of farm machinery
for the past six years taught
Ohio farmers that the life SER
vice of expensive tools can be
prolonged a great deal if they are
given proper care in operation
and in< storage Sam Huber,
specialist in agricultural engi-
neering, Ohio State university,
says good care us especially i'm
portant for tractors.
He claims tn c first require
ment for storing the tractor over
winter is to provide a clean, dry
place and then clean the tractor
thoroughly by removing excess
grease an d dirt with kerosene
and a stiff brush. Cleaning aids
inspection for damaged parts and
it also lessons the danger of dam
age by rust.
MIR. Huber says the idle trae-
tors crankcase should be drained
washed out with flushing oil, and
then refilled with oil by using
one more quart than the normal
amount. The fuel tank is emptied
and the engine is run until the
carburetor is drained. The sedi-
ment bulb is taken out, cleaned,
and replaced, and the carburetor
drain plug is left open.

that we must accept the dictatorship

moreover, asked to support huge

MANY PRICE CHANGES
EXPECTED WITHIN
SIXTY DAYS

within sixty days prices will change
more rapidly than in any similar
length of time in the last Is years -
Thus prophesized representative of
the Farmers Union Central Exchange
following an Exchange conference in
St Paul this week.
In making this assertion, the CE
representative pointed out complete
transformation from sellers to buy
ers' market is%underway in many lines
of durable goods. Forty-five days ago,
for example, the CE was fearful of
being able even to a small extent of
filling retail Coop orders for lawn
movers, oil stoves and furnaces, etc.
Today that's all changed. Lawn now
ers are now "long" in supply-and
somewhat cheaper on the wholesale
market. Similarly, oil heating equip
ment is fast becoming a drug on the
market, although no price reductions
have yet been forthcoming.
Central Exchange representatives
at the conference were informed that
steel sheets, barbed wire, etc, are
still hard to get. On the other hand
one wisconsin manufacturer of home
freezers has reduced prices on all
models "a percent.
Recent price developments on dura-
BILE goods are the result principally of
two factors ID vastly increased pro-
duction. 90 rapidly decreasing pur-
chasing power of the great mass of
the American public because of the
inflationary cost of living necessities.

Is America Compromising Principles OF Democracy?

trine, the goals and the penalties are
shrouded in secrecy. We American
people cannot point to the motivation
or the motivators. We know that the
first enunciation of the policy did not
come from Mr.. Truman but rather
from that old time imperialist, Mr..
Winston Churchill in speech at
Fulton, Missouri in the spring of 1916.
Mr. Truman beamed his approval of
Mr.. Churchill's two world policy from
the same state. We know that there
was much adverse criticism of both
the speech and Mr. Truman's silent
backing of it. Some hoped that public
opinion would warn Mr.. Truman OF the
dangers involved in pursuing such
course. Nevertheless, preparations for
the "crisis" of March 1947 went ahead.
The United Nations was seriously
weakened by the failure of its strong
est member to man the pump. UNNRA
was abandoned by the United States,
no steps were take ntO get the World
Bank functioning to meet the crises
of starvation and economic collapse
in the eastern hemisphere which were
clearly foreseeable Appropriations
for the United Nations were cut to be-
low the level of the annual expendi-
lures of the New York City Sanitary
Department!
Were these failures to strengthen
the United Nations coincidental or do
they bear direct relation to the Tru-
man Doctrine? Was the design one OF
preparing for unilateral action by
making multilateral action impossible?
Were men busy in the wings OF the
one world stage building scenery for
next weeks production of the two
world concept?
At any rate, on March II, 1947, Mr..
Truman hurried to Capitol Hill with
manipulated crisis in one hand and
a bottle of last century's herb juice
in the other He gravely informed us
that democracy was in grave danger
and proposed to cure her with the
same patent medicine which had twice
in hundred years nearly killed her.
Mr.. Truman patted the U.N. on the
head and said it meant well but the
job called for experienced medicine
men, graduates of the Monroe Medical
School.
Paradox? Reinforce TotaIitarianism
To Protect Democracy
The Truman Doctrine asks the
American people to extend the pro
lection of the Monroe Doctrine, as
conceived in 1928, to the Seeding de-
mocracies abroad Here a logical
mind runs into severe difficulties in
following Mr.. Truman's reasoning.
FIRST of all we are asked to compromise
with the meaning of democracy. Mr.
Truman asks us to compromise with
AND DEFEND the rotten oligarchies
of Greece and Turkey in order that |
democracy may flourish under them |
Or to bring our Technology up to |
date, if we support totalitarianism in
Greece and Turkey we will be, so he
says, defending democracy against
5otalitarianism.
Last year we were asked to support
he fascist dictatorship of China in a
