iw.-":,.'-r. J I f f 1 THE PERQUIMANS "WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1941 PAG3 TflSiiil 5 KG AT WASIBOil By Hugo S. Sims, Washington Correspondent j Ii Common Cae. U. S. Aid I .1 -A For Russia. The United States government of ficially recognizes that the strength ening of the armed resistance of the s. Soviet Union to the attack of Ger many "is in the interest of the na- ' tional defense of the United States," - because the attack threatens the se curity and independence of all na tions. Upon the basis of this conclusion, the United States has formally com mitted itself to supply the Sovie Union with military weapons and ' 1 supplies to give "favorable consider ation" to transporting them in A merican ships. Because of the Neu trality Act, shipments could be made only across the Pacific and it was ' (tacitly admitted by officials that any attempt by Japan, Germany's Far Eastern partner, to interfere wltn American vessels would be met. "f The American policy was express ed in a letter from Acting Secretary of State Welles to Soviet Ambassa dor Oumansky. Mr. Oumansky's re ply noted that the Nazi threat "nat nrallv creates a community of inter est of national defense" and asserted that Germany's attack upon Russia was a threat to the security and in dependence "of all freedom-loving nations." The two nations, in cooperating for ,the purpose of establishing the defeat fat Germany, brushed aside ideologi cal differences in the organization of governments and peoples. While the American Government naturally did not go as far as the British Govern i ment whose premier had called his WSuntry's agreement with Russia an alliance, the United States made clear its intention to extend aid to the Soviet armies upon the same un limited basis which now applies to the British. No lease-lend question is involved because the Soviet will continue to pay cash for articles purchased as long as Russian funds are available. Aiding Farm Families. (Seven Years Of FSA. Rehabilitation Pays. Seven years ago, the Government of the United States, through the Farm Security Administration, un dertook the rehabilitation of needy ftrm families. The purpose of the program was to help farm families on or near relief get a new start on the land and enable them to become self-supporting, tax-paying citizens. It is important that readers of this Irewspaper understand the purpose of the program and for this reason we are giving essential facts taken from rthe recent report of C. D. Bald win, FSA administrator, who points out that more than 900,000 farm fam ilies, who could not get adequate credit at decent rates from other sources, have been assisted by the FSA. The Director points out that the program means- economy for the Government. The entire cost, includ ifcg losses and administrative expen ses, is about $72.00 a year per family. This is much leas than the cost of re lief and, in addition, the rehabilita tion of the farm families enables them to be permanently self-supporting. A survey of more than 330,000 standard borrowers shows that the families increased their average net income from $480 before Farm Se curity assistance to $650 during the 1940 crop year. This is a gain of thirty-five percent and represents an increased income for the group of more than $75,000,000. 1 Mr. Baldwin points out that the net worth, of these same families, over and above all debts, was in creased an average of twenty-one vper cent, or a total of almost $80,- 000,000. This increased purchasing . power, he says, naturally benefits merchants and business men in rural areas. The families have raised their standards of living considerably by 1 producing more vegetables, milk, , meat and fruit for home consump n tion. In 1940, the average family on ( the rehabilitation program raised ,' $264 worth of foodstuffs for home use. This compares with $163 wortn the year before coming on the pro gram. The improved diet has re suited in better health. The pro gram also places special emphasis on sanitation measures, such as pro tected water supplies, screened hous- , es and sanitary privies. . Approximately $570,000,000 has been loaned for rehabilitation work and although much of this will not fall due for four or five years, near ly,;. $200,000,000 in principal and in- , MnSb has already been paid. OJ!fi Ci&ls estimate that about eighty per cent of all loans will be repaid with interest. Losses have been concen trated in areas of the Great Plains rich suffered severe and repeated Mmghtfl. Encouragingly, Mr. Bald win reports that 122,000 ' borrowers have already paid their loans in full. ' In concluding his report, Mr. Bald win calls -the. V repayment record "truly remarkable" in - view of the fact that the borrowers have been considered' unfavorable , risks .when judged by normal business standards. The record, ha says, proves an eager ness to taake' good and the regrets t-t tack of funds makes it impossi ble 'to extend the rehabilitation pro gru n to more "than 642,000 families who are eligible - and in need of as .

That the United States Army is keenly following the developments of modern warfare is seen in the an nouncement that 1,000 warplanes will be used in extensive manouvers this Fall. Coordination of ground and air forces will be stressed in "the war fare" in Louisiana and the Carolinas. During the month of September, half a million men of the Second and Third Armies will go through ex tensive exercises in Louisiana, and in November, the First Army manouv ers will take place in the Carolinas, The latest combat tactics, as learned from the war in Europe, will be tested and applied. Interesting is the announcement that the Army will use thirteen auto giros in an effort to solve the prob lem of a "flying observation post ' to observe artillery fires, lines and pro gress of attack and the disposition of troops. There are some Americans who question the cost of extensive man ouvers involving hundreds of thous ands of soldiers. It should be appar ent, however, that it is utterly im possible to train a large army unless the units get together on sufficient scale to adequately test the abilities of officers to direct the men ano provide experience in the provision which must be made for the care, comfort and well-being of a huge army. Vetoes Road Bill On 50-50 Basts President Roosevelt's veto of the defense highway construction bill passed by Congress brings to mind some of the difficulties connecveo with the passage of legislation in this country. It seems that the .President recom mended a total of $25,000,000 for use in constructing certain highways in connection with the defense program, including strategic network, access roads and airplane strips adjacent to highways. When the measure came from Con gress it apportioned $125,000,000 for the strategic networks under the regular Federal-aid road plan. This authorized the money on a State matching basis, which divided the fund among the forty-eight states upon the basis of population and oth er factors. Mr. Roosevelt, in his veto message, pointed out that critical deficiencies in highways and bridges for defense purposes "cannot be reasonably re lated to the population of the state or the other factors which enter In to the ordinary apportionment." He said that a congressional act will re quire far larger appropriations than if a certain sum is made available for defense construction without the apportionment method. DEFENSE BOND QUIZ Q. Where should I keep my De fense Savings Bonds? A. In a safe place, because they have a value which . constantly in creases. If you wish, the Treasury Department or any Federal Reserve Bank will hold them in safe-keeping for you without charge, giving you a receipt. Q. Does an album tilled with Stamps automatically become a Bond that will pay interest and mature in 10 years? A. No. The completed album must be exchanged for a Bond. Regard less of the amount of money you have invested in Stamps, they will not bear interest until they are in the form of a Bond or Bonds. Note. To buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan associa tion; or write to the Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D. C... for a mail-order form.
