ONLY ONE WORLD

More than 1000 geOgraphers from
102 countries are concluding the
18th International Geographical
Congress in Washington map
studded Statler Hotel as this is
written. When the geOgraphers
last met in the U. S., in 1904, the
meetings convened successfully in
Washington, New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and st. Louis q.
probably looking for enough hotel
rooms.
OF the vast number of papers and
addresses presented to the Con-
gress, one of the most significant
was that of DR., George 3. Cressy,
of Syracuse University, and presi-
dent of the Union. According to
DR.. Cressy, there isn't enough
geography for the four billion peO-
pie who will be occupying it by
the end of this century. Farmers
of that generation, he said, will be
faced with the problem of feeding
all those people (there are only
2,400,0 100000 nOw) from land now
in cultivation, since "the good
earth is practically all in use, and
the major map boundaries of cul-
tivated land have become stabiliz-
I ed. The map can not be stretched
much more. Until we conquer
the Arctic and the tropics"
Later the same day. DR.. Hans
Ahlmann, Swedish ambassador to
Norway, and a world authority on
glaciers, indicated that conquest
of the Arctic might come sooner
than DR.. Cressy expects. Since the
middle of the last century the nor
thern latitudes have been growing
steadily warmer, he said, and have
caused startling changes in ami.

General Eisenhower, the COP stan
dard bearer who talked of cutting
the budget by forty billions, now
promises to fight for wider Social
Security COverage and higher pay
ments. Governor Stevenson, gen.
orally considered to be the White
HOuse-Fair Deal choice of that
wide field of Democratic presiden-
tial aspirants, has called upon the
48 state governments to check the
tidal wave" of Federal power and
concentration of authority in
Washington.
Thus, as of this writing, and
subject to change without notice,
we have the diverting spectacle of
a Republican candidate who would
Outdo the New Deal-Fair Deal so
cial gains" and a JeffersOnian,
States-Rights fledgling from the
Fair Deal nest!
1t has been remarked that Ike
was being pushed to the left, and
Adlai to the right. But probably
no one expected that their paths
would crCss =. at least before the
campaign is really under way.

Hayes took Steve and Mr.. Bos-
ton to the base and they had lunch
at the air conditioned Officers Club
out there. Ellington Air Force Base
isn't as impressive, in any respect,
as MacDili Air Force Base in Tam
pa, Florida. The club here is nice
but looks more like it belongs to
some service, rather than part OF
a country club like MacDill did
MacDill had a spacious lounge with
very pretty and comfortable sofas
and chairs, where this clubs lounge
is smaller and more on a stilted
plan. The dining room. here re-
sembles a mess hall, tables all Of

CAPTAINS OF THEIR SOULS

Farmers of Wythe County, Vir-
ginia, who raise cattle mostly, and
who have lost rs per cent of their
corn crop and somewhat less of
the hay crop through the drought,
are turning a deaf ear to- the radio
brOadcasts urging them to apply
for Federal loans.
The 1900 to 1900 farmers of the
county will need 100000 to $780,
900 to tide them over, but there's
$11,OOO,OO0 in the Wythe County
banks, so these independent Am
ericans intend to take care of their
own problems in their own way.
The SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA
ENTERPRISE, of Wytheville, sums
up the county attitude this way:
1.-The Santa Claus form of govern
ment is the only type of govern
ment that is known to at least one,
probably two, generations. Each
year, millions of people believe
that Uncle Sam owes them a liv-
ing.
Until the day arrives that the
people OF America awaken to the
fact that you don't get something
for nothing'-even though it comes
from Washington-every child that
is born will be heir to a debt of
approximately $1,66GOO, or the
new-born's proportional share of
the National debt that now stands
at about 26O billion dollars"
Maybe those Rebels have got
something?

THINGS ONE REMEMBERS

The governments stabiliZatiOn chiefs
predict higher prices. A child could safely
make such predictions with strike-enfOrced
wage increases and resulting higher pro-
duction costs forcing price increases.
But back of it all stands a wasteful gov
ernment spending more than the taxpayer
can pay, thus depreciating the value of the
dollar and lowering it's purchasing power.
The Democratic Administration tries to
hide these facts and fool the people, They
say the increase in the price of steel will cost
the average family $4,000 a year-nO fig
ures are given to substantiate such a state
ment Then they say the steel companies
would not produce steel until a price in
crease was given; that they held gun at
the governments head.
What caused the steel price raise? The
wage increase. Would the union bulge an
inch in it's demands? No. 1t held a gun at
the industrys head. The governments Wage
Sterilization Board set the Unexpectedly
high steel wage boost which forced higher
steel prices. The price "stabilizers" are
playing politics with the steel situation.
All the price control laws in the world
won't "hold the line" against government
policies that force production cost increases
promote initiation and devalue the dollar.
The people are weary of having their
living costs continually hiked by pOlitica

of thought. They are an integral part of
Trumanism and all of it's terrible troubles for
our Nation. The appointment of Wyatt has
caused anti-Truman Democrats and independ-
ents who early felt kindly toward Stevenson
to resurvey the political set-up of their party
and to take stock and study their candi-
date more carefully.
At this early stage of the campaign it is
clear that both the Democrats and the Re-
publicans have problem on their hands.
They must mend their political fences-in
many states completely rebuild them, before
they can convince many members of their
respective parties that their Presidential can
didate should be supported in November.
The American voter is peculiar individ-
ual. AS a group he does strange things at
times. 1t could be that the deciding factor
as they gather to vote in November is the
fact that one party has been too long in pow
er. And in this assumption they could be
right We wonder.
WELCOME TO NEW GENERATIONS
Population growth is like the weather.
there doesn't seem to be much that anybody
can do about it.
The worlds human population is soar
ing. There were fewer than one and three
quarter billion people on earth in 1912.
billion, and by the end of this century there
will probably be over four billion. The
world is currently adding to it's population
at the rate of $4,000 to 10000 new human
beings each day, and the rate is increasing.
No expert is needed to tell us that, so far
as the foreSeeable future is concerned, feed
ing, clothing, and keeping so many people
reasonably happy is going to be a problem.
Our own country has shown how it can best
be met.
A century or more ago large percent
age of people labOred in agriculture. If the
Oretical planners had stepped in in those
days and forced the productive processes
into a fixed orderly" pattern we would
probably have been struggling with famine
by now. Fortunately we were free to invent,
devise and scheme new ways. We were free
to leave our farms and get jobs in the cities
where some of us figured out unheard of
machines to do the work of ten men on the
farm. Tractors, trucks, reaperS, combines,
gangplOWs, ltivatOrs-implements began
to roll off the assembly lines by the tens of
thousands American agriculture took on a
new look For the first time in history farm
erS could raise their heads above sheer druid
gerry.
Farming has become a scientific, COM
petitive business. Because of the machines,
constantly better farming practices and ris-
ing production are inevitable Upland flood
control contour or strip farming, and soil
conservation are routine practices to the
modern farmer.
This American agricultural revolution is
our welcome to the new people who will
be crOwding onto this old globe in the years
to come. Other nations that fear the way
of free markets, open competition and q
maximum of liberty, will do we'll to heed
our example.
