PAGE 6 ~ ^ '' V THIS WEEK In Washington Washington, May 14?As forecast in this correspondence a short lime ago, the President is choosing the "right" fork of the road to social and economic recovery, rather :-han the "left." Not by any positive declaration of policy, but by j jutting the emphasis on matters which appear of more importance to the conservative element of the citizenry than do a good many of t,he things about which there has been so much talk. More and more it is being borne in upon those members of the Administration who are keen for reforming everything?and there are t. few who are "bugs" on that subject?that until and unless business responds to what has already been jut into effect, it would be folly to try to press any more far-reaching reforms upon the nation. The ????s this clearly, and so X iCOlUViiv co a great many members of both houses of Congress. Some of the latter, with the primaries now starting and the election of next November staring them in the face, are wondering whether anything < that they can do between now and < adjournment will help to restore I business confidence in time to do < them any good. ? Heed Constructive Criticism 5 The Administration and its sup- t v porters are receptive to criticism i when it comes from sources which i they do not regard as self-seeking, i They pay little attention to what f Wall Street things, but they do i listen when representatives of con- * structive and productive business s speak their minds, as did the mem- t bers of the Chamber of Commerce P of the United States recently in their annual convention. One result of that criticism is a revision of the i Securities Act, with the President's t full support, to enable legitimate v business to obtain capital in a legit- a imate way from legitimate sources, s without being classed with crooks ? end highbinders. c It is probably a fair statement v that Republican opposition is not s worrying the Administration any. 1 In the nation as a whole there is nothing that can be called a Repub- t lican party today. The Old Guard g is reluctant to let go its leadership, ? yet is calling for young blood to t rejuvenate the party. 1 So far about the only effort to j shape up policies on which to go ? _to the electorate next election time t seems to be an efort to see how close the Republicans can come to 4 paralleling Democratic ideas. That c creates much the same sort of a r situation that existed in 1896, when both the Republicans and the 1 Democrats vied with each other to ^ see how much they could grab off for themselves of the platform of the vigorous young third party, the Populists. Between them they killed t the Populist party, but its doctrines g survived and every one of them is c now the law of the land, save only e the free coinage of silver; and that ( seems closer now than at any time 1 In nearly forty years. < The Republican Outlook There are wise old observers here f in Washington who believe that the ] Republican party has a chance in ( 1936 only if it comes out frankly j and squarely on the conservative ( side. The radicals have done all the , talking for the last couple of years, ( until one would be tempted to think that there are no conservatives left. t Some of the members of Congress [ who are coming up for reelection { know better; there are still a few j conservatives left in their home dis- ? tricts who are likely to vote the Re- ? publican ticket next November. ? Locally, conservative thought is ] beginning to express itself. Wash- , ingtonhas heard hardly more than t echoes from the back country, so ( far; but some smart politicians be- ( lieve that if the national Republi- ( can party would go on record, not , as promising the same sort of thing , that the Democrats are dishing out , now, but almost precisely the op- , poslte so far as Government control . of business, and expenditures for social reforms are concerned, it \ would gather recruits to itself like , a snowball rolling down hill. It ( might not win the Presidential elec- , tion of 1936( but it would have a . good chance in 1940. These same observers give President Roosevelt j the odds on a second term. . Brains From the Ranks i There are many indications that the so-called "brain trust" is not | such a dominating infuence as it , was. The term, of course, is a loose one, but is used here as meaning < the intellectuals who had little , practical experience in administer- , ing public affairs but were installed i nere Decause 01 uieir supposed Det- i ter understanding of public questions than the men who make such matters their life work. The Administration has learned i that there are many men of high i scholastic attainments, thorough scholars, and with detailed, practical knowledge of how Governmental things are done, already in the permanent Government service. Varrenton, North Carolina ????? ; Mrs. Wallaj^e^ctive *WASHINGTON .... .. Mrs. Henry j?.'-Wallace (above),''* wife of the Secretary: of Agrieiiltnre, was hosten .with Mrq. Otto .Veehoff, president*. of the National Farm and Garden Association at the - annual convention held here. Mis. Wallace is qhite iactive in -the Association progaiq. for the coming year. These men are not party men, but efficient public servants who, for >ne reason or another, have made )ublic service their life work. Some )f them are men of means, who :erve because they feel there is more atisfaction in using thir talents for he public welfare than in piling lp wealth for themselves. Some are nen whose tastes ire simple and leeds few, who get along very comortable on their Government sala ies and who wholeheartedly de'ote their leisure to the study cf. :ocial and economic problems in heir national and international aspects. Getting a Hearing Now' These men are now being called nto conference, and some of the irain-trusters are discovering that vhat they have been putting forth is new and original ideas, are old tories to some of these chaps, tome ideas have been tried and lidn't work; some of them are just vhat these permanent Government ervants have been ;rying to get a tearing on for years. That is one of the indications that he running of the great business of :overning the United States is now ;haking down into order and sys,em; but a lot remains to be done pefore anyone can say positively (ust what the policies in effect arc md in what direction we are ultinately heading.

Landlord Suffered Along With Tenant The attempt to fi:: the blame on he landlords for share croppers ind share tenants having to re:eive federal and stf.te aid is rath;r far-fetched in the opinion of Dr. j. W. Forster, head of the departnent of Agricultural. Economics at State College. Dr. Forster has stidied the situa;ion in rather full detail and while le admits that the share tenant's economic situation is; far from satsfactory and probably always has Deeti, still his income fluctuated vith the changes in income from igriculture. "When agriculture was in a fairly prosperous condition, the share :ropper and share tenant participated with the landlord in these prosperous conditions," Dr. Forster "DnrVponp far onto Hirl nnt >C11U. i CI IMllVO Ai.\JV ihare to the full extent that they ihould have, but they participated, [n 1928, we studied 230 share tenints in eastern North Carolina and hat year, the cropper's share of the :ash farm receipts was $1,030. Af,er deducting his shsre of the farm jxpenses including the high inter;st rates for capital advanced, his let return average d $766. The ralue of the labor of his family was estimated to oe worth $271 which left him a wfge of $495." Dr. Forster points out also that the tenant secured some $170 worth if food, fuel and the like from the iwner's farm. In that year, cotton and tobacco sold for an average of about 18 cents a pound. Then came the slump and the Income of both landlords and tenants shrunk due to the rapidly lowering prices for all farm products, rhe large part of the difficulty was ^AilnVA A# ? J ? viic iauuic ux uiuudtiy tu \J<xy ituf-" juate prices for farm products. This ivas seen in the case of tobacco. While the price of tobacco was defining 71 per cent, t.he net income af the three big tobacco manufacturing companies advanced from over 49 millions dollars to about 106 million dollars, I'orster said. Eighty-eight 4-H club boys of Orange county are planting yellow corn this season. The number of applications for production loans in ;3tokes county is much below the record of one year ago, reports the farm agent.

A friend was describing preparations for a dinner party. One of the invited guests was a huge hulk of a man who required some special consideration. "His idea of a roast turkey," said my friend, "is a single portion!" * Walking in Greenwich Village we came across this sign: Noyes School of Rhythm ... It has nothing to do with drummers, but is a dancing school. * * * Poor old Broadway?where the bright lights shine at night! One of the things that makes it tawdry: jewelry auctioneers who use loud speakers and drone on and on in a rasping, monotonous tone. In spite of it, there are always the curious and the credulous who stop and listen. ? * * * We seem bound to be different in New York . . . Repeal is a fact. Yes. Sit down at a restaurant table and you can order any drink you like. But eat lunch sitting at a counter five feet away and you can't have a drop. ... Go into a liquor store, ask for beer and the answer is, "we're not allowed 10 sell it." * * * Chicago has New York beat for peculiar liquor legislation. You can have anything you like to drink even though you sit on a high stool at a lunch counter. But if you lower a foot to the floor, straightening one leg to the standing position while drinking, you can be arrested for a misdemeanor. * * * Whiskey and Soda live up at the Bronz Zoo. And they're the first of their kind that ever arrived alive in the United States. They're bears from Tibet?odd looking youngsters that only weighed 30 pounds when they got here. And they only got here alive because one of the ship's crew invented a diet that they would eat en route. When they refused the prescribed menu they were fed scrambled eggs, raw and cooked vegetables, a lot of marmalade, milk and oatmeal. Some day they'll weigh from 350 to 400 pounds each! * ? * The hospitals of New York were virtually besieged this winter by a lot of actors who wanted to visit the surgical amphitheatres to observe the exact bearing of all the players in the very real job of performing operations. The siege was brought on, of course by such plays as Men in White and Yellow Jack?two of the mosty successful of the season ... There are some surgical amphitheatres where the observers sit in a circular mezzanine around the glass dome directly above the operating table . . . They can observe the minute work of the surgeon with the aid of binoculars. * There's a company in New York that specializes in neutralizing the enect ol stencn bombs. it's cauea the Bombaterrlent Company. Every trade organization in town has its name on the emergency list. The founder started work after he had one of those evil smelling bombs thrown into the store that he used to operate. * * * New York cops are asked the question, "What piece of fire apparatus cannot go down a one-way street?" The answer is: A fire boat. Contracts Are Not Affected By New Basic Crops North Carolina growers who have signed crop control contracts will not be affected this year by the ad- . dition of six more crops to the list of basic commodities. --jror tnis yearj tne oniy oasic commodities which the signers will not be allowed to increase in production are the original seven: cotton, tobacco, wheat, corn, hogs, rice, and milk, announces Dean I. O. Schaub of State College. "The new crops on the list, beef cattle, grain sorghum, flax, barley, rye, and peanuts, will not be considered as basic commodities by growers who have already signed contracts to reduce their cotton and tobacco crops." The contracts specified that growers who signed to reduce one basic commodity must not increase their production of another basic commodity. But they were given per- . mission to increase the production : of other crops, so long as the total production of the farm Was not increased. " Since farming plans for 1934 have already been started, it would be m *REN RECORD difficult for farmers to alter them now, Schaub said. Therefore, it was decided not to force them to include the new basic commodities among1 the crops which must not be increased this year. Fixing Allotments Under Bankhead Act Ten per cent of the State's allotment of cotton under the Bankhead Act will be reserved for distribution among counties where the situation is such as to justify an extra amount. Ninety per cent of the State allotment will be prorated among the various counties according to average cotton production during the past five years. It was deemed necessary to reserve a part of the State allotment, however, to add to the pro rata allotment of certain individual counties where floods, drouth, insects, fire or other unusual natural causes caused abnormally small crops during the base period. "The division of crop estimates in of farmers have ascertained from county agents about how much cotton they will be allowed to plant. Then they are going ahead with their planting with the knowledge that any cotton they produce over their allotted amount will be subject to the heavy Bankhead tax.

"Growers who did not sign reduction contracts will be given certificates which will permit them to market a certain amount of cotton exempted from the 50 per cent tax of the Bankhead Act. The amount exempted from taxation will be approximately as much below the growers' average production as the amount by which contract signers are reducing their production."
