Farm Financial
Condition Sound

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Some
farm economists believe farmers
have been riding a roller coaster of
prices that will head down before
long and lead to farm-led recession.
They have been expecting that ever
since the end of World war 2.
The bureau of agricultural
economics balance sheet for
agriculture. 1851 edition. pro-
vides statistical proof of the
rapid advance of farm initiation
over the past IL years for which
these reports have been issued.
There are. however. important
statistics which seem to refute
the calamity howlers' predic-
lions.
Farmers today are in the strongest
financial position that they have ever
been Not all of that is due to cheap
dollars. The dollar is worth Just
about half of what it was in 1910.
but the total assets of u. S. farmers
are almost three times what they
were IL years ago. The exact fig
ures are $143, 600, 900, 900, as COM
pared with $4,000, OOO. 600 in 1910.
Farm real estate is valued at a
little more than double IL years ago,
and most of that is due to initiation.
The figures are $72,60O, 900, 900 this
year as compared with $50, 100000
900 in 1910. Livestock values at ST.
500,000,000 are almost three and
half times 1910. Machinery and
truck values are $15,5O0, 1000, 900. al
most five times that of II years ago.
mostly due to the increased number
of farm machines.
Farmers generally are better off,
compared with the rest of the coun-
try, in a period of rising prices. and
the last IL years are no exception.
During that period deposits and cur
rency in the hands of farmers in
creased from $4,000. 100000 to $14,-
400,000,00O and their holdings of u.
S. saving bonds jumped from $249,-
100000 to $5,300,000, 900. Farm debt
increased by much smaller amount,
from $1O,000,000.00O in 1910 to $12,-
800,0O0,OOO in 1851. Real estate debt
actually decreased from $6,6O0,O00,-
600 to $4,000, 100000.
Then, toe, farm price supports
should cushion any severe drop.
All of which does not prove that
farmers are depression proof, but il
does indicate they are in a much
better position to withstand hare
times than they were in the late 20s
or even IL years ago.
just before the start of World wal
2 farmers owed 21s times as mucl
as their cash assets currency, de
posts and bonds. Today they coulc
pay off every cent of debt and still
have more than $4,000 100000 left
In contrast with city people, NOR,
| farmers have saved their money ant
invested it.
| Likewise they have built thei
| co-operatives to the strongest posi-
| ton in history. At the start of thi
| year they had $4,000, 100000 invests
| in co-operatives, almost three time
| the amount invested in 1910.

Soviet Paper AssaiIs
treaty as U. 5. Effort
To Make Japan Colony
BY the Associated Pres.

MOSCOW, Aug. 27.-The gov
ernment newspaper Izvestia yes
terday assailed the proposed Jap
anese peace treaty as an Ameri-
can attempt to set Japan against
other Asian peoples and make it
into an American colony.
In another long editorial, Il
vestia renewed its attack on the
United States for cancelling the
Soviet-American trade pact Of
1887.
This. the paper said, is creating
artificial barriers" between the
Soviet and American peoples. It
added that annulment Of the
treaty is proof that declarations
of friendship by President Tru-
man and by Congress are empty
words designed to mask the real
aggressive intentions toward Rus
sia and It's people.
Izvestia said the American
sponsored japanese peace treaty,
which will be laid before the San
Francisco conference opening
September 4. and the proposed
Japanese American military
agreement mean "strangulation
OF the national interests Of Ja-
pan"
The paper said the treaty was
generous" to the government Of
Premier Shigeru Yoshida, which it
said is afraid Of the Japanese
people and therefore prefers to-
govern the country from behind
"a palisade Of American bayonets." :"
But for the japanese people as O.
whole, it said, it means colonial
status.
Izvestia said the military agree
ment will give the United States
the right to maintain unlimited
forces in Japan, as well as ex-
tensive naval bases, and will give
American troops free movement
throughout Japan.
It stated that Japan, thus, will
become an "obedient weapon in
the hands Of American imperial
lists" to be used against other
countries Of Asia for the purposes
OF American aggression.
The paper said American plans
Sooner or later are predestined to
fail" because opposition inside
Japan Is gaining momentum
1zvestia asserted that
this is indicated by 10000 sig-
natures on petitions declaring for
% multilateral treaty and for re-
moval Of foreign troops from
Japan.

Of Penfagon' 5 Role
In 0SS Murder Case

The House Armed Services Com

it investigate thoroughly "the De-
Tense Departments battling per-
formance" in connection with the
death Of OSS Major william ".
Holohan.
Representative Cole, Republican.
Of New York. one Of the senior
members Of the committee, de-
clared yesterday that Congress
should get answers to these two
top questions from the depart
ment, which announced 10 days
ago Major Holohan had been
killed by four members fof an
OSS mission he led behind Ger
man lines In Italy in 1874:
/. Why has the Pentagon shown
30 little interest, in his words,
In pushing the case to o final
conclusion?
Long Wait Questioned.
2. Why has it waited for more
than q year before making any
announcement about how the
major was slain?
The department has accused
two Italians. who now are await
ing trial, and these two Ameri-
cans: Former 1t. Aldo Icardi of
Pittsburgh and former Sergt. Carl
LoDolce Of Rochester. N. Y. The
Americans have denied havingl
anything to do with Maj. Holo-
hans death.
According to the Pentagonl
neither American can be tried inI
this country. It limited efforts
might be made to send them toI
Italy for trial in Italian courts.
Mr.. Cole asserted that one oil
the Americans "Signed o confess
sion on August 3, 1850, and that
