points out:

Farm Co-ops Do Wonders
To Save Rural Community

Here are some of the move
ment's outstanding features:
Some eo-ops earn a gross
yearly income Of $2,500,000.
Many wine, olive and
wheat co.ops are exporting
directly TO the rest Of Europe
and America and have their
own trained agents canvassing
international markets. Their
relatively high earnings are
reinvested in their towns
instead of faffening the mid
dIeman.
Farm co.ops are real
schools of democracy within
a dictatorship. They elect
their own boards and officers
and make decisions, all on
The sole basis of efficiency
and performance.
Trade union bosses are
losing some of their CO itrol
over co-ops and, in spite of
frictions, high government Of
ficials are backing up the
farm coop.
The so-fsr difficult task
of training the individUalistic
Spanish farmer TO engage in
a group operation has had a
certain, through unweIeome,
boost from the economic trib-
uIations of agriculture.
The farmers only alterna-
tive to joining a coop is to
migrate to a city-Where few
really make a better living
or to stay on the farm and
sink further into poverty.
Navarro province offers a
happy combination of circum-
stances which is boosting the
coop movement there. 1t has
fertile soil, Woodworking and
congenial people, and a high
degree of selfgovernment.

Farm cooperatives, in
which the Church plays a
major role, are doing won
ders in Spain to save rural
communities and keep
their people from flocking
to the cities.
The cooperatives not only
keep profits in the communi-
ties, but also give people a
sense of selfmanagement and
a taste of democracy.
Some 5000 farm co-ops
with a membership of about
10000 families are increas-
ing production in vital ex-
ports like wines, olives and
fruits.
OF their yearly output,
valued at $l6.5 SOC, 900, they
sell a third in foreign mar
ketS.
The Church in Spain has a
great stake in co-ops. OF the
100 leaders at a recent ma
tional cooperatives' congress
in Murcia, half we're priests.
Some of the best co.Ops in
northern Spain are run by
Catholic groups.
Many of these are survivals
of the once powerful Catholic
Confederation Of Farm I'm
ions. which had some 2,750
units with a membership Of
275,000 families at the time
they were suppressed in 1910
by the trade union monopoly
of the Falange, SPANS only
legal political party. They
had achieved a brilliant rec
ord in Valladolid, Navarro,
Catalonia, the Basque coun.
try and Valencia.
Today farm co-ops are a
proven success. Yet they can
not fully thrive because OF
the general climate of distrust
and jealousy on the part OF
trade union leaders, govern.
ment agencies, the big agrl
cultural concerns and banks
In fact legislation and prac
tees tie these farm co-ops tc
the political whim of labor
bosses and the cartels of biz
landowners.
Jose Luis del Arco, one
OF the outstanding co-oT
leaders, says that while farm
ers are learning their lesson
namely, that co-ops are th'
best tool 10 solve their socia
and economic maladies,"
is a "cruel irony that at thi.
stage farm co-ops have s,
little impact on the overall
economy of the country"
He points to the lack o
