Farm Prosperity Means Ours

A good many persons who remember the economic
crash that struck 1929 have been waiting for something
similar to happen in the late 4Os but it just doesn't
to want to happen.
These persons probably fail to recognize the difference
between the economic set of that time and today The
first deflaon after the first world in farm
ducts City people didn't feel its affects at first but
the farmers values had all the purchasing power squeez
ed out the city wage lost his job the business
suffered loss Of business prices struck bottom and it was
bad situation all the way around.
The farmer of today has not been Debated and the
fact that he still is in strong position means that his
purchasing power is still decisive For the farm income
some % billions this year is distributed over wide
section of economy Money spent for farm build
ings equipment motor vehicles, etc. is the equivalent of
100000 jobs. The amount spent for fuel gas, etc. to
crate farm machinery and vehicles is equivalent to 5OO
OO0 jobs Money spent for rent to nonarmer landlords
and for mortgage payments means 100000 jobs.
Feed, livestock, etc, 100000 jobs
Food for farmers 1O5OOOO jobs.
Transport medical care furniture, recreation edu-
cation, ETC., 100000 jobs.
For taxes, savings, investments, etc. 10000 jobs
Thus $2S millions gross goes into total Of 100000
jobs
In view of which, every business man should be in
terested in the prosperity of the farmer Every
should watch every attempt made and every in
dication which reveals itself the farmers in
come One of the primary aims of this northwest country
should be to keep the farm economy on sound basis

|More Funds For
Columbia Bdsin
Projects Asked

While Kennewick people
awaited the final outcome Of the
attempt to get a larger appropri.
alton for the Kennewick Irriga-
ton project, which would place
about 5000 additional acres un-
der Irrigation, Washington sena-
tors and congressman last week
battled in Washington, D. c., for
larger appropriations for the ov-
erall development program.
Senator Warren G. Magnuson
asked the senate public works
committee to tack a $3,000,000,-
600 to $5,OO0,O00,0OO Columbia
Basin development program onto
the omnibus rivers and harbors
and flood control bill.
The action, urged by Magnu-
son is letter to chairman Cha
veZ of New Mexico, would be the
first step in obtaining speedy
authorizations of the funds.
What Magnuson wants added
to the omnibus bill is the coor-
dinated report of the army en-.
gineerS and reclamation bureau
for Columbia Basin development.
The senate committee will
start hearings on the omnibus
bill next Tuesday. The house
public works committee already
has approved the measure for
congressional authorization of
$1,120,000,000 worth of rivers
and harbors and flood control
projects.
Magnuson pointed out in his
letter to Chavez yesterday that
the house committee did not
have a list of detailed projects
in the coordinated report at the
time it acted.
CAIN OFFERS PLAN
Since then the Washington
senior senator has introduced a
bill itemizing the projects and
asking their authorization. Sen.
ator Cain (R.Wash.) also has in.
troduced a resolution proposing
congressional approval of funds
for the projects, and providing
1000. 100000 to begin work.
Including the report in the
omnibus bill would be a faster
process, Magnuson said. -
He expects Cain and several
other western senators to join
him in urging the senate COM
mittee to take this action.

STATEMENT BY
SENATOR FREAR
Activities Covering Current
Congressional Matters In
Which He Is Involved
HEADS SUBCOMMITTEE

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear. Jr. said Monday night that
the new private housing bill intro
duced by Democratic Senator John
Sparkman of Alabama would prob
ABLY be amended before it is re-
ported out of the Banking and Cur
reney Committee. The new bill,
s-2246, provides among other
things government loans for coop
erative housing. both individual
homes and apartments at low rates
of interest. It has the support gen.
erally of labor and veteran groups.
On other Congressional matters,
Senator Frear said that the reso-
luton recently introduced in the
Senate to provide for the forma-
ton of an Atlantic Union, is not a
proposal for world government,
which Mr.. Frear said he would op-
pose at this time. The resolution
calls for a meeting of delegates
from Atlantic Pact Nations to talk
over pressing international difficult
ties. Senator Frear, who co-spon-
sored the resolution, said that
many persons had apparently mis-
interpreted the intent of the pro-
posal, and thought it meant that
the United States was initiating
world federation. The Delaware
junior Senator also reaffirmed his
belief that appropriations for the
Marshall Plan could be safely re-
duced Senator Frear conferred at
length last week with Paul Hoff-
man, the Marshall Plan Admins
traitor. Mr.. Frear also declared
that he would support a loan to
Spain, but did not believe that ma
tion should participate in the ECA
Program on the same basis as
those countries that had actively
participated in the war on the side
of the Allies. The Senator's ad-
dress was the ninth in a weekly
series on current congressional
matters.
