Mr. Bailey Is Agin It
Even if he thoughf it was constitutional. Sen
ator Josiah W Bailey said last week that he
would be disposed to vote aga'nst the general
farm bill for 1938 The senator may be right in
predicting that the new bill will not solve the
agricultural problem: he may be right in pre
dicting that North Carolina farmers will not
have as much cotton and tobacco to sell this
fall. He pictures all the possible bad features
the bill holds, forgetting all about the bad fea
tures that the old system of 1933 and 1933 holds.
Kentucky farmers, after going to great ex
pense in increasing their tobacco production by
about 100 million pounds, are reported to ha\
received less for their crop m 1937-38 than they
did for a normal crop a year ago. Mr. Bailey
forgets all about that, or at feast he never points
out the defects of the system he apparently fa
vors.
Mr Bailcv is staking his political life on the
gamble that the 1938 bill will not prove work
able, and to protect himself in that gamble he
is doing and can be expected to do all in his '
power to make the plan tail. About the only
thing the senator has ever proposed ill behalf
of agriculture was to pay a bounty to cotton
farmers on their exports, a plan thai cannot op
i rate year after year without some degree of
control over production The senator can be de
pended upon to point to that absurd plan as his
proposed contribution to the American farmer.
The Senator has not advanced any plan of
his own or cooperated in any plan advanced by
others to check the return of the farm land of
this nation to the feudal lords. He has done
nothing, absolutely nothing, to correct the sys
tem that has taken nearly 70 per cent of the
land from small owners and placed it under the
tenantry system He stands idly by and smiles
as the land banks gobble up farm after farm
and turn the victims of a cruel economic system
into the highways to forage for a living. He will
forfeit at the throne of wealth the life of the
lowly man that the lowly man may die in a
false freedom.
Farmers throughout the Southland are fast
making plans for another crop. Under the hap
hazard system they do not and cannot antici
pate the demand for their products next fall.
The only guide they have is plant every acre
possible and trust that the market manipula
tors will be fair to them. Once the crop is
planted, they cannot shut down as Henry Ford
and General Motors do. They have to follow it
through and sacrifice their year's labor to the
fancy of an organized middle market.
Yes, the 1938 farm bill may fail, but it will
stand a better chance at operating successfully
if Mr Bailey and his kind will support and not
attack it.
How Can We Keep Out oi War?
Always a crusader for peace. Dr. Clarence
f'oe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, preaches
a telling sermon on the subject in the two fol
lowing paragraphs:
' Every generation hates war?yet every gen
(ration waits till too late to do anything about
it The result is that from each generation this
bloody juggernaut god of war takes its hideous
toll?puts into millions of graves the corpses of
oung men suddenly changed from beauty in
to carion, puts on other millions the crippling
cr mutilating wounds of its gory talons, and
slowly suffocates other millions who have been
exposed to its serpent-breach of poison gas.
"How can the youth of America be saved
from the ever-threatening curse? Will our new
so-called neutrality save some lives today but
bring on consequences that will destroy a mil
lion lives tomorrow? In my opinion, your boys
and mine will be far. far safer if America adopts
a policy of world co-operation to promote peace
than if it depends on mere isolation and neu
trality as the way to peace. As has been well
said: "The world is now so small that for one na
tion to try to keep out of war when all other
nations are fighting is like one man in a crowd
ed room trying to keep neutral and unhurt
when "everybody else is shooting." Would there
not be perpetual fighting and death between in
dividuals if we had no courts to which men
could go and have their causes heard and set
tled?settled by courts whose government en
force their decrees? And are not wars between
nations likewise inevitable so long as there is
no Supreme Court of Nations to hear cases and
with power to enforce its decrees?"
