the basis Of an average yield Of 100 lbs.
of ginned cotton per acre, this increase
would require an area of 5l2 million
acres.
It would be interesting for members Of
the United States Congress and for the
taxpayers to inquire if this increase in
cotton acreage Is at the expense Of food
grains
According to report appearing in the
Delhi Statesman" of 18th May, 1851,
the Agriculture Department of the Gov
ernment Of Bombay. having obtained
assurances from the Government of
India for meeting foodgrain deficits in
that State, is drawing up plan to
increase the cotton output in the State
Of Bombay by the diversion Of land
now under food crops.
If these facts are true, which I think
they are. it would be interesting to
watch developments on the Indian food
front. It would seem that we have by no
means heard the last Of famine condi-
tions in India.

Boykin Commended

The historical articles In The Star
written by Edward Boykin have attracted
my attention because Of their tineliness
and because many Of them point up
either comparisons or contrasts with
today's events. I believe such articles
are moving force in furtherance Of
present-day public morale in that they
bring home vivid realization of what our
forefathers endured to develop and main
tain the freedom which we all enjoy,
and which we should cherish fully as
much as did they.
May we have some more Of Mr. Boy
kin's narratives soon?

State Of the Nation

In the wake OF Memorial Day. when
there is so much discord and unrest in
the world. I am deeply concerned, as
all real Americans should be. and pass
on for the consideration Of your readers
q few simple but fundamental questions,
as follows:
Where, o where are the family affairs
Of yesterday? The strong family ties?
The love Of country that thrilled the
souls Of Patrick Henry. Benjamin Frank
lin. Thomas Jefferson and George Wash
ington? Is this love dead or so deeply
covered with an accumulation Of Goth
century international debris that it
cannot be moved until Russia drops q
few atom bombs upon it? I shudder to
think that such might be the case, and
I sincerely hope that am wrong in
entertaining. such views.
We have before US cumulative evi-
dence Of the fact that in many high
places right is on the scaffold and
wrong is on the throne" and the sooner
we come to full realization of this fact
and really do something about it, the
better it will be for all concerned.
