not have 10 carry on under the
light of the United Nations where
the whole world can know what
she is doing" Goss said. rsA
Through the United Nations the
powerful processes of publicity
may be promoting peace out Of
conditions which would otherwise
inevitably have resulted in war.
If war should come, the issue will
be clearly drawn between those
nations which truly seek peace
and justice and the one nation
on earth which seeks world do
mination," Goss said.
Instead Of abandoning the
United Nations because II has
brought no assurance Of lasting
peace, Goss declared "our policy
should be one Of wholehearted
support TO build it and strengthen
il as an instrument Of peace" II
we can make a success Of this,
he said, time will show how 1t
can be used TO improve fnterna-
tional relations in many ways
until il develops a world leader

Of all nations for good

keting facilities by pushing the
products in surplus supply ano
sparing those items in short sup
ply.
To MAKE such program eff
fective, Goss suggested a Federal
Farm, Commission charged with
the responsibility Of keeping a
perpetual inventory Of food sup
plies and full data on prospective
demand"
The Commission, he said, should
be aided by an Advisory Board
consisting of representatives of
producers, professors and distri-
butors to assist the Commission IN
determining what items should be
pushed and what items should be
spared.

s. Our third line of defense
Goss said, is our stop loss floor
set at a level which would NOT
be incentive in character hut
which would protect the produc-
ers from bankruptcy and below
which prices would never be al
lowed to fall.
Goss supported the Marshall
Plan but insisted that our resourc-
IS should be used to develop in
dustrial production and re-estab-
fishing international trade rather
than for relief.

failed and asserted that 1t is '.the
greatest form for holding the pur-
poses and ambitions of nations

ever SEEN"

A solemn warning that agricul-
ture faces economic conditions
strikingly similar to those which
caused the farm collapse following.
World War I was given the 82nd
annual session of the National
Grange Wednesday by National
Master Albert S. Gross.
"With the major exception tina,
farmers have kept their debts
down and are in a better financial
position to weather a storm,
Gross said, almost every factor
which led to the farm crash n q
eventually to the greatest denres.
sion in history is present today"
Goss asserted that unless we
can find practical means of avoid.
ing the same blunders we made
after World War ! we will gc
through as great a collapse as Ia
the twenties when agriculture led
the whole nation to the verge OF
bankrugacy.
I'VE are facing the same old
farm problem for which We I'm.
successfully sought a solution foy
over 20 years, and unless we can
find practical solution soon, the
same economic forces will result
in the same kind of collapse jus,
as surely as water follows tn.
same course when flowing owe,
the same obstacle" Goss said.
The best defense against a re.
petition of the debacle of a gene.
ration ago, Goss said, is an econo.
my of plenty = equitably distri.
buted to give the nation a con.
stantly improving standard Of liv.
ing.
"Our first effort" Goss declar.
ed, Should be to maintain high
national income with high EN-.
ployment. If we are to have last.
ing prosperity all segments of ouI
economy must prosper together
and prosperity must be built or
balanced, full production and
maximum consumption"
He called the well-paid working
man who turns out full measure
Of non-farm products under full
employment conditions "the farm.
er's best FRIEND. But, he added
full employment and good wages
aren't enough to alone assure farm
prosperity.
Even under such conditions,
Co.'S said, 'our marketing system
is such that q small surplus may
result In a collapse In price which
would destroy the producer Of the
the plenty upon which prosperity
depends"
Goss proposed "three lines Of
defense" to protect us from such
a disaster as befell the nation In
the early 1920's and again In 1870.

VETERANS GUIDE
 By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

VA training officers have been available in the past to hear the kicks and gripes of veterans in training and to act as go betweens and abuse -correctors for veterans and training establishments.
 Well, no more. The VA is keeping it's few remaining training officers to supervise P. L. 16 trainees. The VA has that responsibility under the law. It does not have to supervise CT Bill training programs.
 Although the law does say that VA can step paying allowances to vet erans not getting proper training it does not all that VA must do the actual checking up.
 So the question is-how will the VA find out whether a training out fit is giving proper training?
 And VAS answer is-by close scrutiny of reports sent each month to the VA by training establish ments on tie progress of trainees and spot checks from time to time of different outfits.
 So if you have kick in the future about the training you're get ting Cor not getting) you should get in touch immediately with your nearest VA regional office and tell them about, it.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-05-21

Coming up are a. couple of shrubs of interest along the veteran trall;
 The Army says that medals TOT overseas service will be ready m June.
 These medals are what service I'D bon represents. For instance, your Asiatic-Pacific ribbon or your European Theatre ricbon means that you are entitled to medal for your part in the conduct of the war.
 ! These medals are solid bronze and they hang from a ribbon of the same design as the overseas ribbons.
 Veterans are entitled to one oi these medals for each overseas ser vice ribbon they rate. So are next of-kin of deceased servicemen and veterans.
 The Army anG Navy don't know yet where a veteran should apply for his medal. The Army says its distribution points" for the medals will be announced "iater." Watch for this in the papers. The Navy says the same thing. Both say, in effect, Don't apply for your medal until you know you're applying to tte right place. Don't just write to Washington for it because if you do your application won't even be acknowledged"
 However, the Army says that next-of-kin of deceased veterans should apply to the Adjutant Gen. erals Office, Demoblized Personnel Records Branch, Building l05, Rec ords Administration Center, St. Louis 20. Mo. That, of course, ap- plies only to next-of-kin whose loved ones had earned an overseas service ribbon before death.
 Navy next-of-kin applications should be made to the Bureau of Naval Personnel Navy Dept, Wash ington 25, D. C. Next-of-kin of Marines killed overseas in action automatically will receive the medal. But next-of-kin of Marines who died after discharge, but served overseas, must apply to the nearest Marine post, station or installation and fill out a special form.
 When the Army, Navy and Ma rine Corps do announce location ot distribution points, here is what you should include in your application: A photostatic or notarized copy of your discharge. Chances are that many ex-servicers will be able to go in person to pick up their medals because veterans organizations and local recruiting stations likely will have them.
 If you apply in person (June l is the probable date they'll be ready) all you'll have to do is take your discharge with you.
 The VA has withdrawn almost completely from the activity Of checking up on education and train ing programs under the CT Bill.
