FARM PROBLEM ALIVE.
PARITY ONLY A STEP.
FARMERS FOR CONTROL.
FAR EAST IS QUIET.
LOANS FOR THE BRITISH.
SUPPLIES ARB CERTAIN.
LOGAN-WALTER BILL.
PUTS WORK ON JUDGES.
The farm problem will probably
come to the fore again ?n the first
session of the new Congress be
cause the European War has sd
versely affected export markets.
Even if the war bad not happened
in Europe, however, the nation wornd
have faced a farm problem eventual
ly because the programs now under
way, which would have done much
good, do not of themselves guarantee
agriculture anything like real parity.
The term "parity," as readers
know, refers to a ratio of income for
agriculture compared with the nation
al income. The. supposition is that
when the ratio is increased, there will
be something like an economic bal
ance in the nation, with a continuous
flow of manufactured goods to the
farms in exchange for the agricul
tural products raised on the farm.
This exchange will promote business
and, according to some thinkers,
guarantee a reasonable prosperity.
So-called parity does not mean, to
guarantee to agriculturists the same
per capita income that the average
American enjoys. To do this would
be to go far ahead of the parity goaL
If we remember the percentages cor
rectly, the aim of parity is to give
to the one-fourth of the nation's popu
lation, engaged in agritulture, about
fifteen per cent of the national in
come.
While most of the farmers of the
nation approve the program now un
der way, there is developing a senti
ment, particularly in areas of the
West, that the program does not go
far enough.
The control features of the present
machinery are not operative unless
the farmers vote them into effect and,
it is worth noting, practically every
election to determine whether to
adopt controls or not has been over
whelmingly in favor of crop control.
Farmers understand the necessity
of limiting production to meet prob
able demands. They know that in
dustry practices rigid control of pro
duction and that agriculture, if it ex
pects to prosper, most follow the ex
ample and conform its methods to
existing conditions.
The situation in the Far East con
tinues to be quiet, but recent utter
ances of responsible Japanese offi
cials seem to be designed to feel out
American public opinion. The Jap
anese statesmen carefully assert that
they do not want any war with the
United States and emphasize that
this will not happen if both Japan
and the United States "mind their
own business."
This phrase, interpreted Japanese
fashion, warns the United States to
keep out of the Far Eastern area
where responsible Japanese officials
insist that the interests of Japan are
paramount. Recent indications are
that Japanese statesmen include Thai
land (Siam) and Burma in the sphere
of Japan. The hint is also broadly
given that the of any Ameri
can warship to Singapore would pre
sent a serious complication which
might result in hostilities.
Administration officials- continue
to give some study to the financial
situation of Great Britain. Since
Lord Lithian'a speech, asserting the
need of the British for Anuria! as
sistance, there has been considerable
intcroat in the question. While it is
assumed that lade of financial credit
will not end the ceaseless flow oi
supplies from this country to Great
Britain, it is apparent that Americas
Affinal* are very anxious not to bt
mialad Jsto granting credits whid
are naceaeary.
Of course, the whole question wil

I ground if the flnduigs of fact an not
I supported by "substantial evidence."
I The various administrative com
B missions are required to be faet-find
Ivolved upon the courts, there will be
llong delays, and, it ifc argued* the
I courts will be unduly burdened.
I Moreover, qierial administrators, J
Ithoreughly conversant with the factsl
in special fields, are probably more
I competent to handle tike questions in
Ivolved than the courts would be. The
? Brookings Institute concludes thai "a
?judicial straight-jacket, such as ' is I
I contemplated by the bill, would be
I both onerous to the courts and crip- I
Ipling to the administration (of the I
agency), without offering any parti-! I
I cular advantage to the individual.'' I
I AAA Committees Most
Okeh Some Practices I
? 'I
I An important announcement to I
I farmers by E. T. Floyd, AAA execu- I
I tive officer of N. C. State. College, I
I points out that "several of the soil I
I building practices under the 1941 I
?Agricultural Consezvation Program I
?require prior approval by the county I
?AAA committee before credit will be I
I "These include a number of prac- I
I tices which fanners will be carrying I
lout mostly during die next few I
I months," Floyd stated. "Among!
I these are: Contour strip-cropping, I
I forest stand improvement, apple tree I
I removal, and fruit or nut tree plant-1
ling on contour."
I Before credit can.be given for such I
? practices, the AAA leader said, the I
I prior approval of the county AAA I
I committee must be obtained in writ-1
I mg, with one copy going to the pre-1
I ducer and one copy filed in the com-1
I pliance envelope for the farm. The I
I written approval will include instruc- I
I tions for carrying out the practice in I
I accordance with the Triple-A regula- I
I tions. I
I AAA supervisors or represents-1
I tives of the county committee will I
I determine whether the practice has I
I been carried out in accordance with I
I the instructions and specifications. I
I The county committee may elect to I
I have the county agent, assistant I
I agent, or a vocational teacher to act I
I as the committee's representative.
Floyd also called attention to tl " I
I terracing specifications under th1
11941 program. In all cases where I
I the terraces are not constructed by a I
? county terracing unit, the producer I
? will be required to present evidence I
? that the terraces have been built ac-l
? cording to standard requirements and I
? have been laid oat by either a repre-1
R sentative of the Extension Service, a I
| representative of die Soil Conserva-I
I tion Service, or a vocational teacher. I
