Economic Problems
Face FDR On
ReturnFrom Trip
Washington, Aug. 11. ? President
Roosevelt will delve into pressing
economic problems as soon as he re
turns here Friday from his tropical
vacation.
He will find ou his big oval desk
a stack of reports telling, among
other things, of progress in the
spending-lending program, prelimi
nary arrangements for wage-hoar ad
ministration, and the status of the
anti-trust inquiry.
Even before Mr. Roosevelt reaches
Washington he will receive a report
i? what he has termed the nation's
"No. 1 economic problem" ? condi
tions in the south. He will study it
Wednesday at Warm Springs, Ga^
and may discuss it in one of his Geor
gia speeches Thursday.
The survey, prepared by the Na
tional Emergency Council, probably
ivill be discussed later at a White
Souse conference with Lowell Mel
!ett, NEC director.
Mr. Roosevelt left Washington ear
y last month just atfer the spending
ending program had started. Dur
ing his absence all the agencies con
cerned have been working at top
ipeed.
The Public Works Administration
las authorized construction projects
sorting more than $1,000,000,000.
rhe Reconstruction finance Corpora
don has thrown its resources behind
die PWA, making' possible an ex
pansion of the original pump-priming
iperations.
Rolls of the Works Progress Ad
nimstration have been enlarged un
dl they include more than 2,850,000
persons. Administrator Harry Hop
kins said recently, however, he was
jptimistic over employment condi
dons.
Officials of the commerce depaxt
nent and other federal agencies also
lave predicted improvement in buai

st estimated the national income for
1988 would exceed $61,000,000,000, an

Correspondent Say Sov
iet Pounding Entire
Japanese Front With
Shells.
? - ^
Yuki, Korea, Augost 9. ? Soviet
heavy artillery potttded the whole
| four-mile Japanese front today.
This correspondent watched the
bombardment ? the most intensive
sinee the- current bordfertrouble
started July 11 ? from a ringside
seat. It was wayferein dead earnest.
It seemed unlikely that men oould
remain alive under such shelling^
Six-inch projectiles came over at the
rate of at least s&a minute.
Today's-- cannonade removed- all
doubt in the mtads-of observers as
to the accuracy of Soviet artillery.
Invariably one or two sighting shots
were followed by a series of direct
hits which continued until the shelling
had shifted to another point.
At the foot of Changkufeng Hill a
village blazed fiercely. Hundreds of '
shells had scored direct hits. On the
Korean side of the Tumen river only
one spot was the target of Soviet
guns in the afternoon bombardment,
a hill which was struck by probably
30 big shells. j
Both Soviet and Japanese machine
gun and rifle fire was heard early in <
the afternoon. Thin Soviet guns j
started a bombardment of "Hill 82" '
at the southern foot of Changkufeng. >
Approximately 30 shells landed on the !
height. ?. 1 ? :1
From "Hill 52", a half mile to the <
sooth, a battery of Japanese moon- :J
tain guns began firing to the east ap- 1
patently against a Soviet tank
charge.
Blanket of Fire
Then the Russians laid down a ,
blanket of fixe along this hillcrest. }
After a half-hour's bombardment, the ,
formerly green ridge was scarred and (
smoking from the impact of at least ,
160 heavy sheila. ,
Soviet gunners, meanwhile, did not j
neglect the Turn en river fords north- ,
west and west of Changkufeng. Shell
after shell sent columns of dirty wa
ter into the air. The Russians never
left off firing for more than two
minutes at a time. 1
The bombardment covered the '
front from "Hill 52" through "Hill ?
82," Changkufeng^ Siamese-twin <
heights, northward to the Schacho- 1
feng. sector. <
The Russian batteries appeared to :
be situated to the southeast and the <
east Source of whatever Japanese '
return fire there was could not be
determined. (
Thus far today there were no Jap
anese commtmlqBee giving their ver- <
sion of a Moscow- announcement Sun- ]
day that Japanese has been driven <
from -Changkufeng. From the shel- *
ling, however, it appeared that if '
Japanese had been counted from the j
hilltop itself, they had returned to ^
the positions which today were sub- j
jected-to a withering fire. \
A tour of the Korean swamp be- t
hind Changkufeng showed that Sat- <
onlay's Soviet bombardment left a ?*
number of shell holes. It was in that
bombardment that the railway star
tion at Kogi was Mown up. v a
A nearby first aid station had dis- j
appeared and there were dozens of i
shell craters in. the. vidnity. The jj
Rashin railway was-severed north of ]
Kogi, but trains still were running to d
? point near the hjreak. > i

BUSINESS MEN MIGHT AS WELL
: HEAUEE THE IMPORTANCK OF
FARM INCOME TO U. S.
? ?'? ?? .."?*?? V ? ?? t - '-: *??"?'., . .
Business men throughout the Unit
ed States are beginning to be inter
ested in the welfare of the six mil
lion American farmers, because they
realize that the cash money that the
farmer receives is soon turned their
Way as the agricultural population
begins to buy' the automobiles, ra
dios, dcbing, houses, machinery, and
the- vast number of things that the
farmer must purchase.
Wealth and SoiL
Years ago It was said quite truly
that ail wealth comes from the soil.
It might almost be said in the United
States that the business flow depends
upon the condition of agriculture.
While about one-third of our popula
tion resides in the rural regions, it
is, safe to assume that many others
are dependent, for their business suc
cess, upon the financial condition of
the farmers.
Last year, for example, the cash
farm income reached $8JS60>000,000.
This year it will be about a billion
dollars less. Production expenses, !
however, are expected to be lower
than the $4,000,00(1,000 of a year ago
and Government subsidies are also to
he somewhat larger. Hie net result 1
is that the farmers will have about '
?3,900^)00,000 this, year to spend on '
industrial products. Last year they
had an estimated $4,600,000,000. '
.... ? _____ 3
Amazing Paradox. ,
The amazing paradox that puzzles
students of our economy is that far- ,
ners are facing bountiful harvests, ,
is a rule, but that instead of the in- (
:reased production Meaning more;
noney for the farmers to spend, the j
irop in prices will give them a smal- ?
er income. Exceptionally good crops ,
it prices much lower than a year ago, ,
provide less cash. * ' ,
' .^
Last year farmers were paid $1.00 <
i bushel for their wheat, as an aver
age, but this year it will be about 1
sixty-five cents, Cotton brought 12 J
?nts a pound compared with 8 cents >
his year. Corn, at 81,10 a bushel, <
.compares with 68 cents. Hogs around 1
RT.OO instead of about $9.00, and but- 1
;er-fat at 24 cents instead of 31 cents
> pound. ' . '
?? ']
Control Necessary*
Because agriculture, has been with
>ut effective production control,, the j
past is a record of large crop* pro- j
hieing huge surpluses, followed4 by \
imall crops and advancing prices. '
Hie Federal Government is attempt- .
ng to protect-farm income from the *1
wild fluctuations of thOpast and to 4
pre agriculture something like the
same machinery that1 industry - uses
? gear produetioninaccordance-to
iemand and what is considered a ,
^dr" price. J
-: : ?. ;? ,
In other wordsv the' Government ft ?
ittempting to do for fanners "what (
pant corporations have done; .for J
jusiness and industry. It ft creating
production control and marketing |
plans^p a long-range basis, with-the j
taxpayers providing Hie money to
finance these controls and to staMUze ,
farm income. The justification, by
tariff experts of the Government's ,
xmtrtbution is that the stability of ,

the security of the national economy. ,

tariff Argument.
In addition, there is the argument
abou$ the tariff. 1 ^Agriculturalists
point out repeatedly that the farmers
of this country sell their surpluspro- I
mftftra at world prices, and, when '
foy coma to buy must make their ,
purchases in the domestic market, j
ijrjfere manufacturers and industrial- .
ists are protected by a tariff waft ,

Unbent is "not only that this forces ,

The Secretary baaed his. action on
a review of the Georgia quotas, which
he said had disclosed that after the
statutory exemptions of the average
production for the last three years
up to 8,200 pounds had been made
for small growers, the state quota
was not large enough to give equit
able quotas to some larger growwa.
: The same complaint was mada sev
eral months ago in several counties .
in North Carolina and conditions .
were, to some extent, corrected.
Secretary Wallace also said today
that thorough reviews would be made
of the1 individual quotas-in all-state*
growing flue-cured tobacco, bat held
out lees hope for corrections in North
Carolina and the other states <m the -
ground -that the department wee giv
