THE VENERABLE LOKANATHA''

Alert newspaper reporters tell us that
among the passengers on the White Star
liner Queen Mary. when it left New York
not long ago. was Yellow-robed Buddhist
monk. who described himself as the Venerable
Lokmotho."
The newspapers. of course. did not take
the mon. very seriously. but. nevertheless. he
said he was returning to Burma and Tibet otter
eighteen months in the United States and that
he would report to his superiors that the Amer
icon people ore ripe for conversion TO Bud
dhism.'
Such q report. we submit is about as
near the truth as some OF the revelations that
come from Moscow when Communists explain
what is happening in the United States. Never
theless we poke no fun al the Vneroble
Lokdnotho" and wish him safe voyage back
TO his home perish. wherever it may be siuot-
ed in Burma and Tibet
Believing in the freedom of the individual
to embrace any religion that happens to touch
his conscience. we point out that there is no
danger that the presence of q few Buddhist
monks in this country will be followed by inn
periolistic demands from Burmo and Tibet The
absence OF such demands does not imply that
the Buddhists behave better than Some Chris
tain nations in their relations with other peoples
but simply that Burma and Tibet do not possess
the force necessary to make their views press
ing or dangerous.

KEEP POWDER DRY

Key Westess in. common with Americuns
generully. have heord scores of versions of
Russio's military strength since the end Of the
second World Wor Behind most Of the versions
were men. the equivalent Of "mmchoir gener-
uls." who bosed their opinions on propoganda
and counter-propugundo.
The Citizen thinks that Americans agree
lhot the mon omong them who knows more
thon any other man about Russiu's armed
strength Is General Lucius Clay. who for al
most yecr. successfully bucked the Russiom
blockade OF west cermdnY.
When General Clay issued the order to
begin operations vittles." the world gener-
ally thought his task was insuperoble. As for
the Russion leaders. they thought the uirlift
would last only a few weeks.
Bui General Clay surprised the world. the
Russians particularly. And ii is he who says:
The United States is stronger thon Russio.
am heortily in accord with the purposes of
The Atlonuc Pact The Pact along with other
moves OF the United States during the last two
years hos completely stopped the expansion
II Communism In Europe. Communism is now
on the defensive. The United States is not only
stronger than Russia in Germany but also in
the whole world"
Another thing he said. has been known for
generations: Germans hate the Russiuns with
bitter hatred" That hutred goes back for CEN
turtles and is tenser now than it has ever been
before because of the millions of Germans who
have been subjected to slave labor by the
Russiuns. So ii is foolish TO think that German
scientists. in the event of war between Russia
and the United States. would help Russiu to
win. for they ore keenlY uwme that more
powerful Russio would mean the further sub
jugution Of Germany.
But we don't wont to relax while the Russ
ian Beu is still stolling. still burning with re-
sentiment over the Illustration of its schemes to
dominate the world. In that regard. General
Clay sounds this worning:
= Definitely. America should keep its pow
der dry and be ready"

yielding 12.1 bushels. These figures
are averages from the station files
for the last 81 years.
Of interest to farmers who may
be considering two-year fallow pro-
grams on the other hand, are ex-
periments conducted for the past
10 years showing that in only two
of these years were any yield in
creases noticed for wheat on land
falloWed for two continuous years.
DrY-Year Measures
Strip farming and stubble mulch
tillage are the answer to the wind
erosion problem then under normal
crop conditions. But the Canadians
have also done plenty of expert
mental work so they will be able to
do their best to control soil blowing
in really dry years years when
there is little or no stubble left to
protect the soil.
The best of these emergency meas
ures seems to be the use of listers
made by leaving every fourth disc
on a one-way. The deep burrows
that result tend to serve as catch
basins for the moving soil. Using
4-foot spacing also makes it possible
to go into the fields again and re-
peat the operation if necessary.

Chances Improve For
Farm Plan Passage

WASHINGTON, D. c.. = AS con-
gress works toward adjournment or
recess, chances have improved i'm
measurably for passage of new long
range farm legislation during the
current session.
The thing that seems most
likely to hit the mark is the bill
drafted by a senate agriculture
subcommittee. headed by Sen.
Clinton P. Anderson of New
Mexico. former secretary of ag-
ricuIture.
Anderson's bill admittedly is a
compromise.
It retains much of the Aiken flex-
ible-support act passed by the last
congress. Likewise, the new parity
formula in the Aiken law is retained,
but the cost of hired farm labor is
added which would raise the parity
level about 6 percent.
1t also accepts a part of Secretary
of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan's
controversial production payments
plan," but erects a barbed-wire fence
around its use.
In fact the restrictions are so great
that Brannan, in approving the An
derson bill, suggested that the pay
ments plan be eliminated.
And as a concession to the house
of representatives, which has already
passed a bill repeating the Aiken
act and extending the present sup
port program another year, the An
derson measure would continue 90
percent of parity supports for basic
crops through 1850.
Instead of repeating the Aiken act,
the Anderson bill would repeal "any
provision of law in conflict with the
provisions" of the new measure.
Anderson's bill would put a sliding
scale support program, similar to the
Aiken plan, in operation in 1851.
But instead of the 60 to 80 percent
supports authorized by the Aiken act
for basic crops, the new bill would
increase the minimum to rs percent
This is in line with a recommends
