to give up the effort. The demand
was there. Farmers needed the
contact with their neighbors and
nearby towns, the need on occa-
sions being desperate. But because
of the distances involved and the
cost of installations. rural service
offered little attraction to the pri-
vate companies. In many sections
inadequately financed and equip
ped co-operatives struggled with
the problem. It became a losing
struggle, degenerating into what

the Farmers Union, described as

Misleading Figures.
Farm organizations turned to
the Government for help. One
result was the stimulation of a
new interest on the part of the
private companies. Presently the
statistics again showed 40 per cent
of the farmers. with phones, the
same as in the early 20's. The Bell
company announced the installa-
tion of the millionth new rural
phone and made a ceremony of it..
The farm organizations, however,
find the new figures misleading,
saying they take in virtually all
telephones outside city limits and
do not mean much so far as the
country's farmers are concerned.
No practicable plan for Govern
ment aid was put forward until the
notion was conceived OF tying tele-
phone service in with the other
functions Of the Rural Electrif1ca-
ton Administration. The REA, now
a shining success and still expand
ing, is believed to have the techni-
cal talent for the needed installa-
tions. for the operation Of the
service and the management Of the
business. So the basis Of the pres
ent bills is authorization for REA
to make loans, at 2 percent, to
farmers mutual telephone COM
panies, while at the same time sup
plying them with the necessary
technical and business know-how.
One witness before the House
Agriculture Committee gave dra-
matte testimony to the value of a
phone. His Minnesota farm has
one. His arm having been man.

to get a doctor In time to avoid

| it and continue to trust. But it
| is the policy followed by the State
Department, and its Far Eastern
division, which has failed accord
ing to it's own confession.
Policy Not Its Own.
And whatever one thinks of the
Chinese national government. it
cannot be blamed for the failure
of a policy which was not its own.
The responsibility rests with
Dean Acheson's department, and
those subordinates whose activi-
ties led to such a disaster obvi-
ously should be removed from
office. For either the responsible
persons deliberately contributed to
bring about this catastrophe from
sympathy with the Soviet Union,
and a secret desire for a Com
munist solution" or they are in
tellectually incompetent.
Every policy will fail If the
assumptions on which it is based
are erroneous. Mr.. Acheson's let
ter reveals that every major as
sumption on which the State De-
partment's policy was based was
fallacious. These were basically
three:
Cd That "a prime object of our
policy" should be Ito bring Russia
into the struggle against Japan in
time to be of real value in the
prosecution of the war"
CD That for this purpose 1t was
necessary to remunerate Russia at
the cost of China.
60 That the Chinese Con1mu-
nists were not Russia puppets but
simple agrarian reformers.
Assumptions Unjustified.
None of these assumptions was
justified.
Cd When the secret agreement
was made at Yalta, re-establish-
ing for Russia substantially the
position she had occupied there
prior to 1904" Japan was already
defeated-without the atomic
bomb-and had, according to un-

to make this possible. A favor

sion ends, passage by the Senate
A similar bill, introduced by
Representative Robert Poage OF
Texas, was passed by the House
some weeks ago. The vote for II
was better than 2 to /.
1t is hard for city folks to real
ize that the great expansion OF
telephone service in this country
in our time. making us the great
est users of the handy gadget in
the world, has left millions OF
farmers without this means OF
communication. Statistically, ru-
raj telephone service showed a
big decline between the early 20s
and the middle sos. Whereas. at
the peak two farms out Of i've
had had service, by 1885 only one
in five was thus connected with
the outside world.
The telephone companies had
been passing up this improbable
field and the little local co-opera-
tives were having less and less
success, many Of them being forced
