countries are now second class
nations, whose colonial empires
woul fall apart except for direct
or indirect support from the Unit
ed States.
The decline Of COlonialism Is one
pf the outstanding features Of the
twentieth century, recognized by
everybody except the colonial pow
ers themselves and the United
States. The colonial powers have
to cling 10 their colonies because
their national economies are based
IN exploiting the natural resources
and the native peoples in order to
maintain a high standard Of living
on the European main land. II the
resources and taxes OF Indoncs.a
were taken away from Holland,
the Dutch would drop from a
second class to a fifth class power
pvcrnight.
The United States wants the
raw products which the colonial
,powcrs extract from the colonies;
and since the United States knows
the colonial powers have no inter
est in preserving the raw materials
of the colonies she also knows she
can make a better and cheaper
deal with the colonial powers than
with the native peoples themselves
So the United States supports the
colonial powers against he colon
ial peoples with lcnd-lease arms,
iurplus war material, and finances
through the E.CA.
But new forces are arising in
the world which will wipe out
cOIOnialism regardless OF all the
arms and al the money the
United States can lend Western
Europe. When the Dutch invaded

Thinks DR.. Martin
Had Blinders On
Medical Insurance


Editor: 1t is interesting to note
that George r. Martin MD.
seems TO have left his bHnkcrs or
bhndcrs on when he commented
about medical insurance plans,
pcnicllIn, and Oscar Ewing.
Thr English scientist who dis
covered pcnicillin willingly gave
of themselves physically and in
tclIcctually so that the plight Of
afflicted men might be alleviated.
That IN the main is the high pur-
pose Of men who pursue research
toward the improvement of the
health Of men. DR.. Martin forgcts
that If there is no income for or
binary working men to be able to
purchase peniCillin then men can
not avail themselves of its benefits.
To object to health insurance
plans IS to object to a plain every
day business device whereby people
pool their money on an ordinary
insurance basis 50 that when phys
iCal ailments occur funds become
available to pay the good DR..

waiting for anyone in the COM

VIEWPOINTS

There IS apathy towards rclI-
EIon. because 1t is 50 much easier
to live from day to day without
facing the really serious problems
Of our existence Msundrrstand-
ing Of what the Church stands for
IS the result of ignorancr which
the Church itself and the youth
organizations do all in their power
to overcome. But the third en-
envy, dIfnirncc. is perhaps the
most difficult to meet since it
springs from deep, and in
sense praIscworthy, instinct How
often 1t is that people are put off
saying or doing what they really
believe to be right by the fear of
being laughed at, Of being thought
4 prg, or simply of expressing
a deeply felt emotion. &C.. Princess
Elizabeth.
The two old parties are not
really democratic or republican,
and the new third party is not
really progressive The Wallace
Party is tied to totahtarianism and
app"asrment Of the U.S.SR. The
two old parties are hopclcssly
bound to the boom-bust-wa cycle.

Age, possibly support either of

HERE ARE MY VIEWS
ON WHEAT PROGRAM

IN ACCORDANCE with your edi-
torial, Support Prices and Acreage
Control" my views on the wheat
program are as follows:
1. Difference over Details: Let the
secretary of agriculture call an cleo
ton for all wheat counties having
AGA offices and let the farmers
make the decision.
2. Parity Price Support: A parity
price on bushels should be tried.
8. Production Control: Combine
crop insurance premium with price
support purchase agreement pre-
MUM, as the premium for a crop
and price insurance policy make
price support eligibility contingent
ON buying and complying with the
crop control regulations of this pol
icy. The idea is to get a program
self-supporting as far as possible.
4. Base for Quotas: The last five
years plus consideration for war
time crop diversions.
S. Consideration for Family Type
Farms: Group farms in five groups
according to base acreage. Deter
mine a fair percentage acreage re-
duction for each group.
6. Parity Formula: AT the present
cost of production, not less than So
a bushel farm price. Wheat price
changes based on the cost of produc-
ton.
Z. Storage: longtime loans to buy
farm storage bins-preferably fire

5000 bushels and up.
In order that the nswer to some
of these questions may be better
understood, the following informa-
ton was obtained at the Hill coun-
ty agricultural conservation office:
1913 wheat production in Hill
county in excess of 4,000,0 900 bushels.
Cultivated crop land 10000 acres.
Wheat loan 783,509 bushels. Pur-
chase agreement 390,629 bushels.
Last computed county average

bushels. Crop insurance coverage
7.9 bushels. Premium 1.3 bushels.

chase agreement premium, one-half

Last Day Of Summer Arrives;

This is the last day Of summer
and it's high time 1t arrived, in

Summer made its broiling debut
at 1903 pm. June 81 by sending
the mercury to SO degrees and
thereafter scorched the city with
% other days with. 90-or-more
degree temperatures.
It came within one-tenth of a
percentage point of making last
July the hottest summer month
in Weather Bureau history, with
a maximum mean temperature
of 81. The all-time record, 81.1
degrees, was set in 1872.
But this summer did harass the
city with the hottest nights 1t
has ever experienced. The highest
monthly mean minimum for July
was 1913. smashing the old record
of 72.7 in July. 1872.
