But it is ratner startling to find in
The New Yorker so much informa-
ton that previously has been care
fully deleted by the President of the
United States, and by 533 members
of the Senate and House of Repres-
entatives.

The atom is the center of reality

world. They seem to know whats

make decisions these days without
thinking of the atom.
Mr.. Lilienthal told the New York
er that during a val NJ one hesita-
ties to make sacrifices, but that such
sacrifices would be unnecessary if
the mar got busy now---Yes, those of
us who work here are a grim but
hopeful group of people"
The above is merely a peep behind
the scenes. Whew!
The Administration and Congress
do not discuss the atomic bomb in

makes the public wonder why

The New Labor Law

The soundness of the new Labor
Management Relations Act of 1947
has been proved. President Truman
vetoed the measure on June %, 1947.
and the Senate passed it over the
Presidents veto by a vote of 60 to %,
and the House followed suit by a
vote of 331 to 83. And no matter how
much the measure may be criticized
by individuals it never would have
been passed except that the Con-
gress knew that their constituents
demanded laws that would guarantee
justice in labor relations. Those are
facts. Just why any labor bosses
should start the present new strikes
and call on the workers to defeat all
members of Congress who voted in
favor of the labor law is something
that doesn't make good sense.

Waterfowl Inventory Report

The continental population of wild
ducks and geese has apparently hit
the bottom of the decline and level
ed off, according to the Department
of the Interior, which also states:
AFTER analyzing all the data turned
IN by u observers, it looks as
though we have about the same
number of birds this year as we had
last year. We have been unable to
detect any appreciate change either
upward or downward in the number
of waterfowl"

The Farmers Elevator Associa- |
ton of Minnesota has vigorously as
sailed the efforts to make grain ex-
changes the servant of political
whims and ambitions rather than the
servant of producer and consumer.
Thus the National Association OF
Commodity Exchanges and Allied
Trades, Inc, which has been in the
vanguard of forces seeking to safe
guard free markets now has a new
and powerful ally. Nearly 1000 dele
gates from the Dakotas, Montana
and Minnesota attending the Farm
ers' Elevator Association, in session
at Minneapolis, resolved:
THAT we as owners and opera
tors of country grain elevators and
daily users of the hedging facilities
offered by the organized futures
market, express our determined OPP
position to the granting by the Uni
ted States Congress of authority for
control of margins of grain futures
transactions to any governmental
agency II official. We recognize the
economic value of futures trading
and speculation in helping to pro-
vide for the efficient marketing of
the nations grain crops, and we have
recently, and are presently expert
encing the results of government in
reference with the normal free op-
Grafton of the futures markets.
we affirm our belief in the free
operation of the grain exchanges and
we are convinced that control over
margins in grain futures transac-
tions should be left with the ex-
changes which for generations have
proved themselves capable of pro-
per regulation of these Transactions
The above resolution should cause
some high officials to realize how
far they are out-of-step with public
thinking. More power to those who
would protect proven economic me-
thods against the inroads of econ
onomic theories that have failed
through the ages.

Our Nutionul Rivers and Hurbors

Our National Rivers and Hurbors
According to the Department of In
terror the artificial application of
water has proved to be M of the
most successful developments in ag-
riculture to be found in the reclama-
ton program. William E. Warne, As
sistant Secretary of the Department
of the Interior says that arid and
semi-arid land still comprises more
than one-third of the total area of the
United States and he says that the
West is still partly sparsely settled
and will continue to be without ir-
rigation." In the future, he says, "the
growth and population of that area
of III country will be closely relat-
ed to increased use of the rivers
and streams for power generation"
He gave the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress which met in
Washington this month a look-in at
statistics showing that $1,000, 900
acres of land in the United States
is now irrigated. He added the state
ment: I'VE can foresee a doubling of
this acreage with normal resources
and products that soon may be fea-
sible." And he believes that the job
of doubling is being approached
intelligently and boldly and that it
is only a matter of time when an
other 81 million acres of arid land
will be irrigated and put under the
pillow.

Of Special Importance

AS you know, passenger service along the Aberdeen Branch was dis.
continued only because of lack of use of the train, through service at that
time was only between Aberdeen and Durant, Miss, while under the pro
posed set up it would be between Aberdeen and Jackson, thru service link
ing Northeast Mississippi with our Capital City and of special impor-
lance serving Mississippi State College with an enrolment now of several
thousand.
The members of the Committee, feel that we are indeed fortunate,
thru the kindness and fairness of the officials of the Illinois Central, that
we have been given the opportunity to determine if we could and would
support a passenger train along the above route, sufficiently to make it a
practical operation and it will be up to those interested to prove this thru
furnishing fatual information completely and without delay.
