but both Senators Capehart and

the House bill will have strong Re-

Senator Capehart said the vet

whether to take it or leave 1t,
was tossed over to the Senate
today.

| Modified in several ways that are
not to President Truman's liking
/ the bill provides:

tinue them by proclamation to

advisable. Mr.. Truman asked for
extension of controls in their pres
ent form until June 80, 1948.
2. That 'the, governing body in
any county, city or town may In

troll earlier by finding that the
necessity therefor no longer exists. I"
This amendment, by Representative
Redden, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima was adopted by vote of 129

4. Exempts from ceilings all new

5. Abolishes all Government pri-
ority and ALLEGATION controls over

6. Retains veterans preferences
to buy or rent new homes, and con-
tinues Government mortgage insur-
ance on new homes up to 80 per cent

arrived in the Senate, the Repub-

But Senator Wherry, whose Job
as whip charges him with keeping
party members in line on important
legislative tests, said it may be late
this month or early next before

Corn Declines

Thermometer-happy Americans,
struggling feebly in the moist
clutches Of a record heat wave,
could take cold comfort from the
fact that temperatures were being
exceeded in height only by the price
Of corn.
With abnormally hot weather pre-
vailing over most Of the nation,
grains continued to deteriorate from
lack of moisture and prices Of both
corn and oats hit new record highs.
September corn was selling at S. As

zoomed to $1.0834.
The grain market prices went

country's heat-seared corn crop

Although agriculture department
officials had hoped earlier this

FIRST VICTIM
|Def|ation a Threat to Farmer,

Producers of farm commodities,
although strongly entrenched in the
present economy and apparently
destined to remain so, at least for
the immediate future, may be the
first group to feel the full impact
of any reversal of the current in
flationary trend.
That warning was issued by fed
eral reserve board researchers in a
midyear study of the position of
agriculture, indicating that, even in
flush times, the well-being of farm
ers is in a state of delicate balance.
If the present boom were to de-
velop into tailspin, price falls in
the agricultural commodity field
probably would be greater than in
other areas Of the economy, the re-
port points out. Record returns to

Joint Defense Pact Set;
Fear Large Corn Loss
POLE TO- POLE:
Mutual Defense

James Monroe, fifth President of
,be United States, bad bis say, in spirit,
ut least, at THE inter-American defense
conference at Petr0boIs. Brazil, IN
AngHst, 1947.
When the conference agreed on a
mutual aid treaty for North and
South America and their territorial
waters, and set up a vast, North
Pole-South Pole hemisphere secu-
rity zone, the celebrated Monroe
doctrine was developed to its log
ical conclusion 124 years after its
inception.
This was the burden of the Mon
roe doctrine in 1928: .'It is only
when our rights are invaded or Sc
riously menaced that we resent in
juries or make preparations for our
defense . a.. in this hemisphere ). :"
Today, the Americas are making
preparations for hemisphere de-
fense in advance of any menace
or invasion of their rights. The mu-
tual defense treaty embodies three
main points:
1. In the case of armed attack
from outside the hemisphere,
all nations have the automatic
right to meet the attack with
military measures.
2. If military attack occurs in
side the hemisphere, American
nations may go voluntarily to
the aid of the victim, with con-
sultations to follow.
8. If attacks occur both inside
the hemisphere and outside the
security region, immediate con-
situations will be called.
Thus, despite the opposition of
some Latin American nations to the
U. S.-espoused Monroe doctrin-
ism," it appeared certain that the
''hands off the Americas" policy
was in for a big revival in the atom
ic age.

It was a coincidence that while /
was reminiscing on the subject of
the Roosevelts' new adventure in
tree-growing, my neighbor in the
building across the street presented
me with, couple Of typewriter
pages containing. some striking
facts about tree destruction. They
are apropos, I think, now, as we
move toward the close eve hopea Of
the worst season Of forest fires in a
decade.
This period of holocausts began
before the ink was dry on bills
passed by congress making deep
SlasheS in the interior department S
appropriations for fire control.
Many Of the cuts later were re-
stored. but not in time to save thou
sands of acres of timber in some
areas Of America. notably Alaska.
''The sawtimber burned In .
single year in this country"
says my friends memorandum,
''would be sufficient, If convert
ed to building materials, to re-
place every private house in the
cities Of New Orleans or Min
neapOIiS.
''If the wood below Sawtimber di-
mensions could be manufactured
for paper, it would provide a 25-
year subscription to a monthly
pocket-size magazine for every
man, woman and child in our 142
million population.
''If it could be converted to rayon
pulp, it would provide material for
more than a hundred new dresses
for every woman and girl in Amer
lea.
''In terms of dollars, our annual
forest fire loss amounts to 35 million
dollars in payrolls lost to wood
workers and three-quarters of bill
lion dollars worth of wood products.
"The tragic part of all this is
that 9 out of 10 forest fires could
be prevented. Nine our of 10
are traceabIe to human causes
to incendiarists, causing more
than rs per cent of all fires; to
smokers, careless debris-burn-
ers, railroads, campers and

prices may be particularly subject
to downward pressures.
While the financial position of
farmers has undergone vast, gen.
eral Improvement as compared
with pre-war years, many individ-
ual farmers have increased their
indebtedness, and the new debt is
written on the basis of sharply ad-
vanced values.
In particular, the report declared
that land values must start declin-
ing before much longer. Thus, while
the farmer is enjoying a high level
OF income and prosperity as a result
OF the prevailing infiationary econ
