What do the bankers know? No more than they did in 1914 when they were of the opinion that there was no chance of the United States becoming involved in the Great War. Boiled down, that means they know nothing about the future except the guess that everybody is en titled to. -0O0 AN AMUSING REASON According to newspaper reports, the Trus tees of the Chicago Church Federation, repre senting 1053 churches of eighteen Protestant denominations, have declined an offer of funds from the Works Progress Administration for the extension of church educational and recre ational activities. It seems that local W. P. A. officials offered the services of relief clients to assist in the recreational program of Protestant’ Catholic and Jewish institutions. This newspaper is not interested in the deci sion of the Trustees, although rather amused at the reason given. The Trustees thought that ac ceptance of the offer would “be subject to in terpretation as, or construed to be, a violation of the principle of separation of church and state.” We wonder if the Trustees have ever heard that the property of churches, in almost every state, is exempt from taxation. ■ • ■ uuu BABSON PREDICTS PROSPERITY The average citizen of this county will be in terested in the prediction of Roger W. Babson, statistician and economist, that the nation will be out of the depression in six months, he add ed for a period of prosperity. Mr. Babson does not undertake to tell how long the new era will last, contenting himself with the observation that it may be of short or long duration. He believes that there wi'l be an active stock market, rising commodity prices and full employment of labor, but that notwith standing, “our standard of living will decline.” In explaining this last statement, which seems to be out of line with the “period of prosper ity” talk, Mr. Babson says that living stand ards will decline because “this administraton, in spite of many admirable things it has done, has taught the people that they can be made comfortable without working and can get se curity by legislation.” -0O0 A NEW NEUTRAL POLICY President Roosevelt has warned the American people against traveling on merchant vessels be longing either to Italy or Ethiopia, in view of the war which is taking place between these two countries. Inasmuch as the Ethiopians have no merchant marine this is, in effect, advice that Americans decline to travel on Italian trans oceanic vessels. It should not be forgotten that the “casus belli” between the United States and Germany was the loss of American lives on passenger ships torpedoed by submarines in the war zone. The United States was carried ihto the World War by insistence upon its neutral rights where as the present policy contemplates the abandon ment of such neutral rights as may involve us in war. There were many Americans during the World War who early saw that the United States would have to admit the neutral rights could not be enforce in the war zone or go to war to enforce them. Our diplomatic protests to Great Bri tain over its illegal interference with our neu tral trade were critical and hostile and might have caused trouble had not the public taken a more antagonistic view as to the fatalities to the German submarine campaign. In the future, it would seem, that the Ameri can policy will be to forego certain minor and incidental rights rather than become embroiled ?n a war to enforce them. This seems to us to be sound common sense. There is no possible wisdom in having thousands of our soldiers and sailors killed in order that a comparatively few Americans may travel across the ocean while a whirlwind of war is going on. Washington News For U. S. Farmers r WAGES AND FOOD PRICES TAX OFFSETS THE TARIFF IF WAR UPSETS PRICES? FARMERS AID INDUSTRY Attempting, no doubt, to answer criticism up oh advancing food prices, the AAA, through I* L. H. Bean, economic advisor, flatly asserted last week that factory wages have increased in equal proportion to the rise in cost of food. Figures given show that in August retail food prices were 80 per cent of their 1928 level while earnings per employed person were 83 percent. It is pointed out that in the spring of 1933, when the worker’s earnings were down nearly 40 per cent, food prices were down 40 percent but other living costs were down only 20 per cent. Since that time, however, other livihg costs have been unchanged so that in August they were 83 percent of the 1928 level, the same as the earnings and three points higher than toed prices. Secretary Wallace, it seems, realizes that pro cessing taxes are "full of peril” but contends that .they will be necessary until high tariff groups permit this country to act as a creditor nation and take advantage of its world position. Mr. Wallace pointed out that the processing taxes apply to nine commodities while the Haw leyi-Smoot tariff act affects 3,000 items. He doubts that the tariff on the 3,000 items “benefits any moie persons” than the processing tax on 9 farm commodities. His estimate is that there are 5,000,000 workers in tariff protected indus tries. There are 3,000,000 AAA contract sign ers. The AAA, according to the Secretary, is “quite definitely attempting to do” for agriculture if effective, would have done. Without export trade, he says, American agri culture must continue the painful process of “throttling down” its 360,000,000 acre plant to about 300,000,000 acres. The way to avoid this, according to his argument, is to get back our export trade, which is impossible in the face of retaliatory measures adopted by foreign nations in the face of the present tariff. His opinion is that processing taxes must continue until “the high tariff groups behave as our creditor po sition demands.” Farmers should bear in mihd that the theory of crop control is to secure parity prices and not to hold up the consumers of the nation un fairly. For that reason the AAA is planning to let nature take its course among the hogs next year, with the idea of securing a tnirty per cent increase in the nation’s 1936 pork supply. With pork prices 116 per cent higher than in 1933 it is felt that such an increase will be fair to ail citizens. However, the warning is give that if control is utterly abandoned there is possible a serious overproduction with complete demoralization of prices. The idea is to secure control through corn-hog contracts if producers vote favorablj on the issue at the referendum this month. The same idea is emphasiized somewhat bs Chester C. Davis, Farm Administrator, when he says that if war conditions abroad bring sus tained prices above parity that crop control pro grams would be temporarily suspended to bs later revived when and if prices decline. Mr. Davis praises the present machinery as a means of meeting increased demands for farm products as well as a means for reducing pro duction. He insists that the wheat contract, for ex ample is advantageous to growers, in war and [in peace because while prices have barely reach ed solid ground the possibility of another dread ed agriculture cycle threatens. There is no sense, in his views, of permitting huge surpluses to pile up again to present us with unmanage able problems in a future year. The new3 from Pittsburgh, center of the steel industry, is that the farm implement industry, “which has been running at a high rate since late in 1934, with prospects of doing well for an indefinite time, is having the best twelve months since 1930, the total of which year may be passed in 1935.” The farm implement industry, we presume, employs laborers, who therefore owe their pre sent jobs to the improved position of Americah farmers, now able to buy. This news dispatch reflects the evident fact that once American far mers are given a fair share of the national in come they will turn it loose in a buying spree that will help every manufacturer in the coun try. In turn, more employment in industry will create a bigger market for farm products, and this will keep the ball rolling towards more prosperity all the way around. ARDWELL’S lOLUMN WHEN WINTER COMES GUT A. CARDWELL, Afiinltanl * Industrial A|t, A. C. L. Railroad Co. What will be the condition of your cultivated fields when nrinter comes? Will they be neglected and left bare and subject to leaching by winter rains or will they be protected t>y a winter-crop covering? Bare fields are a sign of neg lect and they are a poor adver tisement for the farm and the section, while a covering of ?reen in the winter season is a thing of beauty and a joy to the observer; especially to the stranger from the frozen re lions. I have often attempted to irfve home the thought that the use of a farm for a five or six months operation during the year will not yield sufficient ncome to support the farm family for twelve months un ler modern living conditions. We need more winter farm ing. We need to grow two crops where we have been growing one. There are many crops that can be grown dur ing the winter, some of which will suit your particular case. Bur Clover, Crimson Clover, Austrian Winter Peas, Vetch, Oats, Wheat, Barley, and Rye all have a place either singly or in combination, and those farmers having flocks of chick ens and turkeys could well af ford to use Rape and Kale for the poultry. Where hogs and sheep are kept these animals should also be furnished with green feed. This can be done by sowing . Rape, Rye and Vetch. - Regardless of present gov iemment aid the farmer will eventually have to work out his own salvation; possibly not alone as in the past but as a member of a group or class |working together intelligently and skillfully for the well-be ing of the rural population. To attain success the farm factory must be operated 12 months in the year. Only by the observance of such a plan can cotton, tobacco and peanut farmers expect to increase farm-income sufficiently to sup port present day standards.
