Assistant Secretary of State, and economic adviser to 'resident Roosevelt, declares the nost important problem before the American people is to raise the iurchasing power of the farmer. "This should be accomplished oy making it possible for the farmer to get higher prices for his products. by relieving him of the bur3en of debt by some equitable neans, and by reducing his taxes," le says in Good Housekeeping. Obviously the agricultural inlustry, being not only a business, ; >ut a way of life and an essential ' >art of civilization, deserves special lelp in its present condition. Mr. : tocsevelt has described the forms i n which this help must be carried ' >ut. He has pointed out the increas- 1 rig burden of the fanner. Agricul- 1 ure will have to be provided with easonable government guidance i nd assistance." I j Dr. Moley points out that, during he era of prosperity, between i,ve : nd six milhon migrated from the ' arm to the city. Since 1930. howver, men and wcmen have return d to the land in large numbers, [e believes this shift will continue, nd that it may result in the de entralization of industry. Dr. Moley also points out that ecause of the intensity and comlexity of the depression, the administration has had no precedent by way of guide. "We cannot go back in history cr aid and guidance, either in nowing how to meet it or in ap- j raising its seriousness," he says. All we can do is meet its dear ecessities and try to build our conomic life so that we can retore more happy conditions. "I am an academic man, but I i. i i: z ? _ u uul ueueve ui a ucpcuucuuc at his time upon historical analogues r theoretical solutions of this deression. I am pleading for realism nd for intelligent, calm, and ordred means of restoration. Historial analogies and theoretical choices a argument are always dangerous, larticularly in the hands cf people rho know only a little history. 7hen you know enough history, ou know that historical analysis o not solve future problems." One thing, however, American listory has taught us. Dr. Moley ndicates?that we will never tear lewn our economic structure and eplace it by Hitlerism or Coranunism. He say$: "Our party system is so fundanentally believed in by the people >f this country that movements uch as have caused violent changes n foreign countries can gain little upport." rmc/^An?f crDITirCC tr o4>4?vivdu Owing to a change in schedule, here will be a service in Emmanuel Church at 11 A.
