Will UNIT come to this? Are we

escape until they die?
Henry Wallace has said UNIT

Slowly but surely, the us. has
been drifting toward a state con-

How can it-and how can we

that the present UN is based on

UNIT is like that new hat. After
fighting winning-a world
wide war, we came out the VIC

practically like new.
Today we are spending more
than $4,000, 1000, 900 annually on
our armed forces-more than $40
piece for each person in the
United States. Eighty cents i'm
every American dollar collected in
taxation is to pay for war or to
prepare for war.
A conservative estimate of the
cost for the first six months of
UNIT is $1,75O, 1000, 900.
Also, it is estimated that there
would be loss of about $4,000
OO0, 900 in goods and services as a
result of the withdrawing of
100000 youths from productive
work
More than $4,000, 100000 for
training for war :. and how much
for peace?
In 1947, only $25, 100000 was

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, May
80, 1916 = A powerful foe of
the slave power-and the two
party system which upholds
it-emerged here today in the
person of Abraham Lincoln of
Salem.
Lincoln spoke this evening at
state convention which may be
termed the birth of the. third party
the Republican Party--in Illi-
nois.
A lifetime Wing, the tall, spare
country lawyer broke sharply with
his own party and castigated the
Democratic administration as a
power based on violence and OPP
preston.
LINCOLN sprang here today to
national leadership in the new
party in an impromptu hour rand
a-half speech that touched off wild
applause and acclaim that rang
through the quiet streets of this

- 80 Es 10 Percent for Exports

American food products, current
estimates on an annual basis are less
than food shipments of the past two
years.
As an example. il is exti-
mated that annual wheat ex-
ports will be around 800. 000. 600
bushels a year in l948 and 1s4s
and about ESQ. oo0. 900 bushels for
the last two years of the life
of the plan.
These estimates compare with the
$50, 900, 000-bushel goal for the cur
rent crop year, and 350,000,0 900 BUSH
els exported in 1916.
AS for feed grain, the government
is thinking in terms of exporting
100, 900, 900 bushels annually, most
of it corn.
No export of meat of the kinds
customarily used in this country is
contemplated under the plan.
1t is estimated that a considerable
quantity of p~rocessed milk-canned
and powdered-will be shipped to
Europe. The figure is hard to deter
mine as the European countries
which would share in the plan did
not submit a breakdown differen-
tiation between canned and pow
dered milk.
Presently, European import re-
quirements of -"processed milk" over
the next four years are placed at
about 1,500,0 600 metric tons, with i'm
ports from the United States about
941 900 of this total.
This country probably will be
called upon to supply most of the
powdered milk, since the United
States produces 80 percent of the
world supplies.
European import requirements of
cheese are estimated at about 1,109,-
900 tons, of which about 100000 tons
would be supplied by the United
States.
Considerable quantities of cotton,
tobacco, fresh and dried fruits also
dIG SCllGQulCQ lOl CApOIL
AS for fertilizer, the ERP proposal
calls for exports of nitrogen and
phosphate rock to Europe at about
the present rate.
The United States is expected to
supply about IS percent of the farm
machinery needed for European re-
covery.
While this is a high percentage of
the total, government officials esti-
mate that this country could meet
the goal by exporting less than 10
percent of our expected output from
1913 to 1851.
Not all the Sc, 300, 900 900 being
asked for the first Is months of the
program would be used to purchase
goods in the United States. APP
proximately 40 percent would be
used for purchase outside the United
States, including agricultural COM
modities.
