FARMERS STUDY
FARM PROGRAM
1938 Program Will Be Dif
ferent in Many Respects
From That of This Year
APPROVED BY WALLACE
North Carolina farmers who are
planning to take part in the Agri
cultural Conservation program
next year are giving careful study
to details of the 1938 farm pro
grams.
The new program will be differ
ent in many respects from pro
grams of past years, according to
E. Y. Floyd of State College, who
is AAA. executive officer in North
Carolina. y
It has already received the fi
nal stamp of approval from Hen-
A. Wallace, Secretary of Agricul
ture. Since it was first announc
ed tentatively September 20, the
1938 program has undergone but
few alterations.
One of the principal changes
has been a decrease in the cotton
goal for the entire nation. This
action was provoked by the latest
U. S. crop forecast of approxi
mately 17,500,000 bales. Previous
ly. the estimate for 1937 had been
placed at 16,000,000 bales.
When the new program was
first announced in September, the
latest cotton forecast had not
been completed. When AAA offic
ials learned the lint crop was 1,-
500.000 bales larger than they had
anticipated, they went into a
huddle and made adjustments.
The revised goal is 27,000,000 to
29,000,000 acres, about 2,000,000
acres below the first announced
figure.
Potato goals will also be includ
ed in the 1938 program. More
than 82 per cent of the growers

WAR .... for rithttmuDca
The air is full of War talk. Many
people are afraid that our country
will, somehow, be drawn Into an
other world war. I have no idea
how many Americans want "peace
at any price," but l imagine that
there are a good many millions of
them. But I believe there are still
a large number of people who hold
the same view of war that Theo
dore Roosevelt did. He once said
that he was for peace, but for
righteousness first.
There are circumstances under
which nations have to choose be
tween peace and righteousness. In
late years many peace advocates
have been preaching the doctrine
that this country was dragged
into the World War by interna
tional bankers for the sake of the
money they could make out of it.
That, to my mind, is perfectly
silly. We went into the World
War to keep the Kaiser and his
ambitious advisers from dominat
ing the world.
If America had not entered the
war when we did, England and
Prance would have become sub
ject nations, and we would have a
Kaiser-controlled government in
Canada, threatening us on an un
guarded frontier 3,000 miles long.

EUROPE . . IconfUct of Ideas
The great conflict which is now
going on in Europe is between
two radically opposed concepts of
civilization. They are so opposed
that it is impossible both can ex
ist for long on the same continent.
One or the other system must
eventually dominate. For a con-

WASHfNGTON . . . General
Douglas Mac Arthur will retire
from 38 years 'bf army service,
December 31. General Mac-
Arthur, now Philippines military
adviser, was war-time leader of
the 42nd "Rainbow" Division,
chief of staff of the Army, 1930-
35, and last of World War com
manders on active list.
venieht one word description, we
call one system Fascism, the oth
er Democracy. The difference is
in their basic ideas of the rights
of man.
Fascism holds that the individ
ual has no rights except such as
are granted to him by the State,
and those can be withdrawn at
any time. Democracy rests upon
the belief that the individual
man's rights are supreme, and
that the State has no authority
except as the people grant it cer
tain powers, which they cari re
voke at any time.
The doctrine under which the
Kaiser ruled the German people,
and which he sought to impose
upon the rest of the world, was
the doctrine of Hitler, of Musso
lini in Italy, of Stalin in Russia.
That is Fascism—the supremacy '
of the State. England and France
and a few smaller nations are
founded on the Democratic ideal.
If there is another general Euro
pean war it will be like the last
one, a war between opposed ideas
of human rights.

ASIA . democracy vs. autocracy
In the Far East a parallel sit
uation exists, Japan has invaded
and is bent on conquering China.
The Chinese civilization has en
dured for 4,000 years. It is essen
tially Democratic. China has been '
"conquered" several times, but
her people have managed to re
tain or regain their individual
rights, and eventually to abjorb
their conquerors into their Dem
ocratic scheme of society, in
which there has always been a
minimum of government control.
Japan's philosophy is, in es
sence, the Fascist doctrine, that
the State is all-powerful, the peo
ple merely subjects of the Mikado.
This doctrine is the more deeply
ingrained in the Japanese people
because they sincerely believe in
the Divinity of their Emperor,
"The Son of Heaven." Personal
liberty and beliefs must be subor
dinated to the will of the Mikado.
All of the "totalitarian" gov
ernments rely upon force to keep
their own people in line. They
have to, in an era when ideas
about individual rights and per
sonal liberty are so widespread.
In a Democracy the military is
subordinate to the civil power; in
a totalitarian state the military
caste soon becomes supreme.
When the military idea controls
a nation, war is inevitable. Sol
diers must fight. That is what has
happened in Japan.
• ♦ *
AMERICA . should avoid war
This country is not yet threat
ened by the Fascist or anti-Demo
cratic idea expressed in terms of
military force. S£ain is the Euro
pean battle-ground as China is
the Asiatic. Conditions may easily
arise in Europe when the Demo
cratic scheme of civilization will
be again threatened, as it was in
1914. Then we will have to decide
whether we can stand alone as a
Democracy, or whether we are
justified in going to war to pre
serve our concept of human liber
ties. We don't face that alterna
tive yet.
In Asia our problem is whether
our national security is' menaced
by the aggression of a totalitar
ian State against an essentially
Democratic State. So far nothing
appears to me to justify this coun
try in taking part in that war
either.

NOT READY AS YET

Asked to Wait
PLANS ARE NOT READY
County Farm Security Admin-'
istration offices are receiving nu
merous applications from tenant
farmers for loans to purchase
family, sized farms under title 1
of the Bankhead-Jones farm ten
ant act, but county offices are
not yet ready to accept formal
applications for this type of loan,
says R. O. Palmer, County Su
oervisor, in charge of the Rural
Rehabilitation program of the
PSA in Surry and Stokes coun
ties. •
As allotments for tenant land
purchase loans in North Carolina,
based on farm population and
percentage of tenancy, are set at
$527,000, not more than 150 or
200 families in the state can be
brought under the land purchase
program this year, said Palmer.
The act authorised doubling of
the allotment next year and fur
ther increasing it the third year
if Congress approprates funds,
but for the present fiscal year
land purchase funds are suffi
cient to establish patterns.
Applications for tenant pur
chase loans should not be made
to the county office until ma
chinery has been set up for ad
ministering the program and the
counties selected where the pro
gram will be initiated this year.
Not less than five or more than
10 loans will be made in any
county selected.

of rehabilitation loans to quali

farm equipment. Simple service
loans to small groups are also
availably where group purchase
of such items as pure bred sires

farm practices. The services of
