els of wheat held by Commodity
Credit Corporation, presents one
of the most difficult of all agri-
cultural problems.
This years total wheat supply,
an all-time record of l billion 872
million bushels, is enough to meet
all domestic and export require
ments for more than two full
years, at the present rate of dis
appearance. Present CCC commit
ments for wheat alone involve
more than 2.5 billion dollars of
CCC funds. This is more than one
third of the funds invested in all
price-support activities.
The secretary has asked the
advisory committee to consider
the following questions in relation
to the wheat problem:
l. Questions related to changes
in food habits and the per capita
decline in bread grain consump-
ton.
2. Sound methods of expanding
the use Of wheat for feed. (Bills
before Congress would allow
growing and feeding wheat on the
farms where produced without
penalty under marketing quota
programs.)
3. Grades and classes of wheat
as related to domestic and export
market demand.
4. The place of land-use pro-
grams and influences in connec-
ton with the wide use of margi-
nal lands and lands upon which
it is hazardous to grow wheat.
5. The comparative merits of
established controls on a bushel
as ~contrasted with an acreage ba-
sis.
The secretary also has asked the
Department of Agriculture staff to
continue exploratory work to de-
termine what might be done to
improve the overall outlook for
wheat.

we viii need for prospective for

Taft Benson, Secretary Of Agri-

according to Leo S. Kolstad, ASC
state administrative officer, the
secretary has called upon the ma
tional agricultural advisory COM
mission to review the wheat sur
plus situation and consider prob
lens related to this crop.
Since the 55-million-acre ma

After all, we should al realize, as I am sure you do, that

The people Of the Virgin Islands are tired Of being SCI

Dear Sir:
! read with interest, and.

John Merwin's letter in your
October IS issue. While it IS
true that the dog nuisance is
a very real one, he has added
weird" cats, Jackasses and

sidered a nuisance and their
joyous ringing curtailed be-
cause some neurotic tourist
couldn't stand "the fantastic
din.
IT is quite true that if we
are to encourage tourists to-
come here, we must try to.
make them as comfortable as
possible while they are with
us, but we must be very care
full not to subordinate our
every action to erase our
community personality as it were,
because we have tourists liv-

can be carried too far. Some

so-called leaders, one by one had
to Intellectually kowtow to Consul
Ibanez' suggestion There was &
sad absence of courage and convic-
ton. Only one of the so-called
leaders had the courage to say
that he could not commit his or
ganization to the formation Of the
Inter-Community Council, and that
he would first bring the matter to
the attention of his constituents
for their consideration That man
was Dec Volante, then acting
president of the Filipino Commun-
ity of Astoria, Oregon.
What we are trying to point ont
in this short observation is the
fact that the Filipinos in the Paci-
fic Northwest did not ask for, nor
did they see the need of, an inter-
community organization among
themselves until a certain Consul
pounded the idea on their heads.
However, for realistic analysis
of the situation, we offer the fol-
lowing suggestions: The Inter
Community Council is only dupn-
eating the functions that the vari-
Gus Filipino Communities are eX-
pected to perform. The various
Filipino Communities could carry
out their program as efficiently
without affiliating to any organ
ization with practically the same
detectives. Affiliation to the In
ter-Community Council entails ad-
ditional and unnecessary expenses
which could be used to better pur-
poses through other channels of
activities. The Inter Community
Council is a super-structure super
imposed upon the various local
communities without any visible
functional necessity. And the vari-
out Filipino Communities affilat-
ed to it are only contributing to
the performance of functions
which they could, and should, per-
form on their local level
