shouldn't Russia feel that such activi-
ties are directed solely with a view to
an attack upon her?
If we in the United States fear an
! attack by Russia, Russia has equally
| good and sufficient reason to fear an
attack by the United States.
Since informed authorities of all ma
lions must honestly admit that there
is at present no known adequate and
efficient defenses against hydrogen
or atomic bomb attack and the pos
sible and probable, destruction of the
human race in consequence, then the
only hope of preserving what we call
civilization is by agreement betweeni
nations for the total disarmament off
national armies and the outlawing of
war.
This means for accomplishment of
that aim is at hand. The United Ma
lions organization, imperfect and in
complete as it is, offers a beginning
or a starting point. And the Russian
proposal whether or not it is sincere
or just propaganda as our politicians
claim, should be acted upon, not simp-
ly by just the two or three great pow
ers but by a conference of ALL Ma

Every year the war over antelope
as it might be called, begins If a farm
er puts an animal on another mans
land to Craze he must pay for it with
cash or part of the animal which is
called shares.
A farmer buys land, pays taxes and
puts expensive fences around it to raise
his stock.
The state puts animals to Craze on
his land for free. Does not even allow
him one animal to eat altho there may
be hundreds of these state animals
grazing on his land.
The state sells licenses to men for
Five dollars, which by the way would
not raise the animal, and the men get
ting the license pays nothing for rails
ing it.
The animals increase and cause so
much damage that farmers were glad
to have men hunt them.
Here is what the innocent suffer
for the guilty Some do not appreciate
the generosity of the farmer in allow
ing them to hunt on his land. Fences
are cut, often cattle shot, cabins used
at branding time are badly damaged
costing money to repair. Fences cut
are left for cattle to go thru and mix.
Men must be paid to separate them.
Paid TO repair fences and often eX
pensive wire replaced Some times ma
chinery left in fields are damaged.
The small farmer suffers worse than
the large one. He raises grain and alf-
alta, needed so badly for winter. At

eat it and no electric fence will keep
them out.

farmer? / thot things were only done
in Russia like that.

If any one sees you shoot an antelope
or other game animal they can call
the game warden and the farmer gets

his pay for raising the animal. Fair
is ii not?
So the farmer is caught between the
devil aod the deep sea. Either he posts
his place and let's the animals increase
until they run him off his land or feed
them and pay for all damage done
by hunters.
If the state would give one permit
for all his trouble and expense it would
at least seem something but even that
is denied him.

My Two-Bits Worth
BY LEVERNE HAMILTON,
Thompson Falls

Let's face the facts. Recent discus
sions by scientists, politicians, the
military and the press stress the fact
that America would have no ade-
quate and effective defense in case
of an atomic or hydrogen bomb at
tack by Russia or another foreign
power"
If that is true, and we have every
reason to believe it, the reverse is
also true that Russia would have no
adequate or efficient defense in case
of a similar attack by the United States
What then can either of the oppos-
ing nations hope to gain by melting
it's people to the point where such an
attack and third world war is in
evitable? Only the gamblers chance
that one might be lucky enough to be
victorious, with the "house odds" all
in favor of the possibility that the en-
tire human race would be wiped out.
What chance then has the human
race to avoid such a probability? To
what method may we resort to find
any hope of preserving our so-called
human civilization?
The question itself provides the pos
sible and logical answer Agreement
between nations to outlaw war. Total
disarmament.
Such a proposal was made by Rus
sian authorities Immediately upon the
establishment of the United Nations
after the close of World War Two.

Farmers Must Work Out
Solution to Their Problems

Editor Peoples Voice
The farm problem is still with us
The first of the month it was reported
that the farmers income had slipped
another point and now stood at 92%
of parity in relation to the general
price structure. The farmer is caught
between falling prices for his prod
ucts and the rising cost of his opera
tions.
Recently, the present farm program
has not been working very well. Dur
ing the last summer, the government
has had to buy up from one to two
million pounds of butter daily in or
der to keep burdensome supplies off
the market.
The wool situation is nearly bad.
Wheat and Cotton, both. have accumu-
lated huge SURPRISES, with no market
outlets in sight. This program is OPP
Grated at the expense of the consum-
ing public. The consumer, as a tax
payer has to help pay for the pur-
chase of the surplus products, and then
has to pay high prices for his bread
and clothing.
This program of price supports is an
attempt to accomplish for the farmer
namely limit production, store the
surplus products and maintain monopo-
lyprices.
But it is rather plain that if the
farmer is to have his prices fixed in the
free competitive market, as has been
suggested by Sec. Benson, the farm
err would be returned to the plight he
was in during the Hoover era. The
huge volume of production that we
now have would reduce the prices so
low that it would mean disaster for
the farmers.
Thus both agriculture and industry
are artificially trying to maintain an
economy Of scarcity, and to make prof
1t, the motive for production, whereas,
instead we could now have production.
for use in an economy of plenty.
These facts make it rather evident

such an Independent periodical as PeO-

that the farmer will have to come up
with something new to solve his prob
lens. The farmer will have to get on
the job and do this himself.
He can't rely on some benevolent
party or politician to do it for him.
Every other interest and group are
in the game fighting for their own
selfish interests and the farmers will
be last in the shuttle unless they are
able to unite on some workable pro-
gram.
1t is time therefore for the farmers
to organize study and discussion groups
to examine all plans proposed. 1t is
only by thought, brainwork, that a
solution can be found.-JOHN McGUF-

Il two thirds affirmative vote was need

against us, 359 million for us or three
and one half to one of the people of
the world with leaders willing to vote
in the open.
The system of counting by nations
and not by number of people is not
democratic. The vote of Costa RIGA with
S25 thousand people was as strong as
the vote of Mexico with 26 million or
of Indonesia with n million or of
Britain with so million. The require
ment of two thirds of any assembly is
antiquated and reactionary.
When the vote by nations against
us is compared with the nations for
us, on the exclusion of India with her
ancient civilization and $50 million peo-
pie, is studied one sees how far we
have sunk in the esteem and friend
ship of the world from our top place

rate Department of Labor.
Concluding a discussion of the
Labor Departments budget
dilemma, Mr.. Durkin said:
ITO summarize at this point.
let me say that the Depart
ment of Labor is truly the
baby of Government execu-
tive departments. 1t has never
really grown. The present re-
duced budget has cut the de-
partment to the bone. Fur
ther cuts will in fact positively
make it department in name
only. Indeed. it may we'll end
up as few bureaus in a So
called department."
In their platform and during
the last campaign, Republicans
criticized previous Democratic
regimes for stripping down the
Labor Department by distrib-
uting many of it's former func-
tions to other agencies. They
promised to restore it to an
important role. Instead. it's
funds we're still further slaShed
and. as its former head told
the AFL convention, roughly
900 positions we're abolished
for fiscal 1854, and more lay
offs are scheduled for the next
fiscal year." Of the result, he
said:
Let me assure you that the
wage earners will receive less
consideration in the way of
obtaining services provided in
the law establishing the de-
partment. The wage earnerS
never have received the full
benefits of having an executive
department of the Federal
Government. From now on in,
they are to get even less"
With 4,500 employees, it is
now the smallest Government
department. he explained. The
next in size has 10000 en-
ployes.

ROME, Sept. 25.-Another
Trieste crisis has been showing
Italy'S chronic problems into
the background. Unfortunately
for her, Marshal Tito this time
is standing at the American
cashiers window with his
pockets full of blue chips.
What has happened since
the United States, Britain and
France signed a statement i'm
plying sympathy with Italian
claims to Trieste is Tito's fa-
NOUS bolt from the Communist
bloc OF nations. This repre-
sented far more than good
propaganda; it enabled the
United States and now NATO
to build a whole new chain of
defenSes IN the Balkans and
Asia Minor.
Valuable in themselves. these
land barriers help to seal off
the eastern end of the Medi-
terranean. which makes them
precious to the United States
fleet now bearing the major
burden of Mediterranean de-
fense.
It was from Tito's Yugo-
slavia that the Greek Commu-
nists carried on their civil war,
an activity that Marshal Tito
promptly put a stop to when
he defed the Kremlin. The
strength accruing to the West
encouraged Turkey to join
