That. I own a little farm now.
have no idea of pulling the rug
out from under farmers.
But, far more serious, and of
more weight than those two con-
siderations, is this fact: Both my
associates and I have gone on
record did specifically at Kas-
son. Mimi. and at Omaha and
in MISUNDERSTANDING in detail
exactly what we propose to do
about these farm programs.
First, we said we would support
the present laws right down the
line in spirit and in letter. And
on top of that, realizing that GER
tain provisions of some of these
laws would expire in 1854, we said
I'VE will instantly begin to draw
in actual dirt farmers. people who
are producing on farms: bring
them in from each section of the
country, whether they produce
perishables or staple crops; bring
them in and consult with Them
Moreover. unlike the present
administration, we would give
great heed to their advice. We
want farmer-built policies with
farmer-run programs. We want
to keep this business of farming
where 1t belongs-in the hands of
the farmer-and bring the Gov
ernment in to make certain that
he does not suffer from disasters
over which he can exercise no
control himself. We will support
research, REA programs, and all
that sort of thing.
Now, let me address a word to
the city people about this farm
program. I know that the house
wife. when she takes her market
basket down to the corner store,
finds she is paying at least twice
as much, and more, for a bag of
groceries now as compared to 1899
prices. She is apt to say, "The
farmers are getting rich at my
expense" Far from it.
The formers cost of production
has gone up so high, his income is
falling off, and his taxes are 60
ing up at the same time, that he
is caught in the same squeeze that
each of us here this evening feels
high taxes and high prices-all
because of governmental bungling
and fumbling.
Nagel: Thank you, general.
I hope lot of my friends back in
Iowa were listening to that.
Mrs. LaGuardia I believe you
have a question noWo

standard housing today, why
should there be any falling off
in our prosperity?
Now, Mrs. Patterson, there is
another point about this. With
each step toward peace that al
lows us to reduce our war pro-
duction a little bit, we have better
conditions arising in the world,
conditions more conducive to
trade. We need many, many raw
materials desperately, as you
know-tungsten, tin. uranium.
manganese. rubber and many of
them-all the time.
We will take those in greater
and greater amount to satisfy the
needs of our growing population,
which goes up 5000 every day, you
know: while we will have greater
surpluses to ship those people to
pay for the same thing, and that
will result in profitable trade for
both sides.
So our best years definitely lie
ahead, contingent upon establish
ing peace in the world that will
allow us 't0 expand this trade with
mutual benefit to both-not being
any Santa Claus about this, but
with mutual benefit to both sides.
Let us then take and add to that
rough vision this thought: All of
our examination and our analysis,
our experimentation and advances
in atomic science or nuclear fls-
slon-it is all now directed toward
destruction, killing each other.
When we can take all of that vast
possibility and devote it to human
betterment; when we can take
alongside of it industrial chemis-
try-say, radar research-the vast
scientific advances of this country,
in my opinion we are going to
make an America which in it's
great standards of living, in the
that we are going to
see some day, is far beyond the
imagination of any of us.
Do not, for one moment, believe
we have got to have dissension,
war or near war in the world to
have prosperity in this great coun-
try of ours.

Presidents Accusation
OF Bigotry Answered

+ @. Mrs. Berlin: In this cam
paign, general, the President has
accused you of bigotry. He even
went so far as to say that you had
accepted the master race theory
OF the Nazis. Would you speak on
that?
A. When I first heard this. Mrs

Now, / went on to enumerate
some other things, but that is
what I went on record officially
as stating. am very, very hope
full that this lie will soon cease
circulating and I have great con-
f1dence that the men who have
served with me for many years in
these armed services will more
readily believe in my friendship
for them. my belief in them, my
appreciation of their services
than they will believe that kind
of rumor circulated by some one
that l do not know at all.
Nagel-Thank you general. Mrs
John Warner, I believe you are
next.
| Q. Mrs. Warner-General, there
are all sorts of rumors about cut
ting back social progress, and
cutting down on social security.
Now, I know that those rumors
don't jibe with your campaign

Iyou tell us about that.
A. Well, first of all. Mrs. War

Now, to show you to what desper-
ate straits the opposition is re-

they can't defend this miserable
record OF the last seven years, so
they have to spread stories of the

things they have done is to drag

Reply Made to Question
ON Blame for Korea

On Blame for Korea
Nagel: Thank you, general. Now
I am going to interpose a little
question. Last week in Detroit
you made a speech saying that
the present administration blum
dered US into the war in Korea
Last night, President Truman put
the blame back onto you. Do you
mind if I ask you who is right?
A. You know, fortunately, Mr.,
Nagel, this morning there was a
very significant item in the paper
1t was this: There was quoted
a top-secret document of the
American Defense Department.
How it got there we will never
know probably.
But that top-secret document
brought out one fact that really
answers your question. It was this :
There was military estimate
made in September, 1947. by mill
tary men. and it had this conclu-
sion: The military occupation of
South Korea is not essential to the
military security of the United
States Of America.
Now, 1t would not seem that
there is any very great connec-
ton with that military estimate
and a political decision to aban-
don Korea. which was made two
years later. Yet that is exactly
what is now claimed. And how
was this top-secret document re-
leased? Wouldn't you like to
know? Many Americans would.
But out it comes. published in the
newspapers.
The claim is made that that
secret military estimate was re-
sponSible for our highest political
leaders making political decision
in 1949. If that is true, what
these political leaders are saying
lis this: 1--WE abdicated our au-
thority and responsibilities as the
political leaders of the United
States, the civilian political lead
ers of the United States, and took
IA military estimate on an entirely
different subject two years old as
our alibi."
A little thing along with that,
Mr.. Nagel, you might consider
also. I have stated several times
that the Republic of Korea
coveted and deserved the honor
Iof defending its own front lines
so far as it was able to do so.
There have been serving in Korea
during these past years. and you
know I have been in Europe for
a year. there have been serving
men of great distinction who are
old, old friends of mine and from
them I have had many reports
about the South Koreans.
Their reports on the military
qualifications and capabilities of
the South Korean soldiers are
glowing, glowing no less. They
give specific instances of their
great heroism, courage and
stamina And they have said
Had these programs of training
organizing and equipping these
men been pursued assiduously
from the very first moment we
got in that war, we would be in
a position now that our casualties
wouldn't have to be so heavy"
I believe that and I believe we
should push those programs just
as fast as we can right now be-
cause everybody admits there is
no simple easy patent medicine
answer to the Korean situation.
So what must we do? Get par
tial answers that improve our
situation every minute, and when
we get to the point that we are
not having to provide the great
bulk of the men, as we'll as the
great bulk of the munitions and
all of the rest of the costs out
there, then the other side will
have a little different outlook at
