OUTLOOK IMPORTANT.
THE NEW FARM BILL.
WHAT KIND OP CONTROL?
THE FARMERS' DOLLAR.
WAGES AND HOURS.
\
For the pest several weeks this
space has been given over to the out
look reports released by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. We think the
average farmer will do well to keep
up with the studies being conducted
by the officials in connection with
the crops in which he is interested.
Nothing is more important than the
market outlook which should help
planters to plan their acreage for the
coming season.
Congress last week wrestled with
the new farm legislation and the
differences of opinion were pronounc
ed. As this is being written there
is no "definite provisions available
and the chances are that the public
will have to wait until both houses
pass the measures and the conference
committee makes its report.
" '*"v- a# -favm UiHfi

lation is generally recognised al
though there are many people in the
metropolitan areas who think that
the government is passing out cash
the farmers in much the same way
that one gives a coin to a beggar.
Foremost in every mind is the man
ner of control, whether it shall bej
voluntary or compulsory and the ef
fort will probably be made to pass
a "voluntary" plan that, in essence
if not in form, will be compulsory.
We have no particular objection
to any form of control but the need
for some regulation of production,
at least until wider world markets
are available, ought to be plain. And
there are farmers we know, who like
to talk about independence and the
right to plant as they please. Person-1
ally, we like the idea ourselves but!
in the face of the present situation!
we. cannot see where any hope"lies!
in unrestricted production. We wish
we could!
The ever normal grainary idea has
won much support since it was first
advocated and the soil conservation
program is generally lied. However,
what the planters also desire is the
money that the government is pay-1
ing them for doing what commenta
tors say they ought to do anyhow
out of self interest
We have supported government
financial aid to farmers and the ac
tion of the government, under several
administrations, to bolster the prices
of farm products. At the same time,
in fairness to all citizens, we do not
see how farmers can expect any gov-1
eminent to underwrite price if it can
not guarantee itself against enor
mouse losses that will follow the pro
duction of huge surpluses.
Economists in the Department of
Agriculture say that the farmers'
dollar has shrunk 13 cents in buying!
power since the first of the year.
In January the agricultural dollar
would have brought $1.01 worth of!
non-farm goods and services. Now
it will pay for only 88 cents worth?
a shrinkage to the lowest level since
1935.
The picture is a little tat,er w&en
we consider what part of the dollar
spent by consumers for fifty-eight
foods will be received by the faiyper.
In 1929 it was 47 cents but the fig
ure dropped to badly in 1933. In 1935
it had andvanced to 35 cents and in
1936 it rose to 44 cents. Now it is
at 46. Economists say that in the
past four years there has been an
advance of 77 per cent in the farm
value of 58 foods, an advance of 13
per cent in the margin going to pro
cessors, distribution and others.
This leads us to the conclusion that
farmers should not grumble overduly
over the reasonable profit that is
made by these so-called middlemen.
Of course we know that there is pro
fiteering at times but the middle
men, when they function properly,
perform a service that is entitled to
compensation.
The idea is general that most far
mers oppose the passage of a wage
and hours bill on the theory that,
while it does not apply to farm labor
it will be the cause of increasing
farm prices for labor on the farm.
There is merit to the contention. Un
doubtedly any bill that will tend to
raise the price of farm labor. At the
spune time the increased income of
/ laborers will tend to develop a strong
er market for to product*
Another factor that farmers might
as well consider is that cheap labor
is not desirable from a national stand
point, even on our farms. Surely
there are many difficulties to face
in the artificial stimulation of labor's
wages bat if it can be managed wis
ely the people of the nation wOl be
much better off and this will also
apply to farmers as well as other peo
ple.

| old man and a philosopher of this
reunion."
Or. Joyner declared that he carried
the memories of warn handclasps
and other friendly greetings and ex
periences of these metings in his heart
from year to year and rejoiced in
the growth of the reunion organi
f xation.
As a missionary of the gospel of
"Peace on earth," He said, "there
can be no peace on earth until we
have goodwill among men, and
though we may cry, Peace! Peace!
there will be no answer to our
prayer until the principles of the
Prince of Peace are written on the
hearts and in the minds of the peo
ple on earth." ;
The speaker emphasized that these
principles must be taught around the
fireside of the homes and be supple
mented by the teachings of - the
Church and School. He warned also
against becoming to attached to the
present day comforts and convenien
ces," which, he said, "may cause our
ruin, for it was the hardships of the
old days that put iron into the blood
of our ancestors; the fiery dragon
had to he slain ere the Golden Fleece
could be obtained, and the finger of
history has written the fact that
everything worthwhile is surrounded
i by hardships."
The Reunion paused to pay tribute
to those who had passed on since the
last meeting in a memorial service
conducted by the president, who read
the following list of names; Moses L.
Moye, Mrs. Ella Horne Moye, Phiney
Carr, S. T. Lewis, Mrs. Annie Ander
son, Mrs. Mittie Parker Newton, Mrs.
Emily Tyson Godley and Larry
Smith, and those marrying in the
family, Herbert S. Bundy and John
Calvin Drewry. After a period of
silent prayer the families joined in
singing "Blest Be The Tie That
Binds."
During the business session W. G.
Sheppard was elected as second vice
president and the new president, Carl
A. Tyson, was introduced, the Rev.
Mr. Bynum expressed appreciation to
the Rev. Mr. Mashburn and his con-j
gregation for the use of the Church'
on this occasion, and appointing a
committee to send a message of re
gret to the Rev. Francis Joyner, Lit
tleton, and Charles A. Tucker, War
renton, for circumstances which caus
ed their absence at this time.
Mrs. John D. Holmes, contralto,
sang "God of Our Fathers," and "Be
The Best of Whatever You Are," and
the entire assemblage joined in sing
ing reverently "Give Peace, 0 God,"
as a closing prayer.
Following the basket lunch held in
the basement dining room, an exhibit
of heirlooms was conducted by Mrs.
B. S. Sheppard, among the most in
teresting of which were; a blue pit
cher, the former property of Orphah

in the Dominican Bepublic has creat
ed a troublesome issue* which the
United States is anxious to mediate.
Cheeking back we pass through
Mexico and the four dictator nations
and come to two republics classed in
the democratic group, Costa Rica
(650,000) and Panama (460,000). And
we find the Canal Zone, a strip of
land belonging to the United States,
five miles wide on each side of the
canaL The Canal "Zone splits the
Republic of Panama in half, although
the cities at each end, Colon and
Panama, are in the jurisdiction of the
republic. Interesting is the observa
tion that the canal runs southeast
ward from Colon, on the Carribbean
Sea, to Panama, on the Bay of Pana
ma, on the Pacific terminus further
east than the Atlantic terminus.
Leaving the Panama Canal, we
pass along the Isthmus of Panama
into South America through the Re
public of Colombia (9,000,000,000),
which boasts the only government
representing the popular will of the
people, as expressed in an honest,
uncontrolled election. There are ten
nations on the South American con
tinent Two of them, Peru (6450,
000) and Chile (4,300,000) are dis
tinctly leftist, having large mining
populations with some communist
tendencies. Seven republics have
rightist governments, hardly fit to
be classed as republics, and now un
der control of ultra-conservative
minorities of wealthy landowners
which seized power from the people
during the past decade.
These seven include four on the
East Coast, Venezuela (3,250,000).
Paraguay (900,000) and Argentina
(12,400,000)^Peru (6,150,000) on the
interior. The history of these re
publics generally show that for many
years after they won their indepen
dence the land owners were in con
trol but that early in this century
the people gradually acquired gov
ernment power. The land owners,
i however, did not easily give up their
| power and have gradually gained
i back their control through revolu
tions and are now determined to re
tain it at all costs. The governments
are in agreement to protect each
other from the masses and they prom
ptly denounce all opponents as "com
munists" and refuse exile to political
refugees.
In nearly all of these countries the
governments have been repudiated by
majorities which have been suppress
ed. Brazil which recently proclaimed a
more centralized state, is an example
President Vargas seized power by re
volution in 1930. He promptly recalled
to active service all retired officers
of the army, raised their rank and
gave them six year's back pay. Nat
urally, the army officers are his
strongest supporters. Similar tactics
have been used by other countries
under military rule. Argentina de
serves special treatment. The pres
ent regime seized power in 1930. It
has given the nation good and effi
cient government, which has not been
repudiated by the people, although
opponents find it difficult to express
their opposition at the polls. A fas
cist sentiment exists but President
Justo recently warned that the bulk
I of the nation's trade was with two
democracies. Great Britain and the
United States, and that open espousal
of Fascist principles might prove
costly.
Six countries of South America are
definitely under the domination of
the military class, included all right
ist governments except Argentina
and Uruguay, Chile and Colombia.
The latter nation is democratic. In
Chile, President Palma has managed
to maintain a coalition government
in office by playing to various fac
tions. In Uruguay the situation is
not clear to the writer and no com
ment is made. Ecuador, one of the
leftist countries, is under military
pressure like the bulk of the rightist
governments.
4 "ii ? m
While the nations of South Ameri
ca and Central America use terms
"fascist" and "communist" quite free
ly and there is some similarity to the
ideas or forms adopted, this does not
mean that they will align themsel
ves with similar nations across the
Atlantic. In fact this is likely at
this time. Generally, any political
opposition is branded as belonging to
the other group. The people, while
demanding improved conditions, do
not deserve the accusion that they
are communistic.
In this rapid review of the twenty
nations mentioned we have, of nec
cessity, omitted many details that
would distinguish political situations
in various countries. Generally, we
believe the outline above will be found
fair and that it iriU aid readers to
understand conditions in this hemis
phere. A few words may be in order
about Mexico, our immediate neigh
bor, where the Government openly
supports the expansion of Spanish
loyalists, opposes the expansion pol
icies of Borne, Berlin and Tokyo, and
is actively aiding laborers on farms
and in factories. The effort at socfal
reform is clouded, at times, by the
religiona issue, end the Mexican Gov
