Sims, Washington Correspondent 11 Sankhead Bill Beaten. j-'". .KOOseTeii veio aianas, , I Brown Cites Statistics J The Bankhead Bill, which passed the Senate by a vote of 78 to 2, has been sent back to the agricultural committee because its supporters were unable to muster the two-thirds vote necessary to override the veto of President Roosevelt. "Senate support fell away from the measure following strong statements K.4de by the President in his veto messaze. and Price Administrator Brown, in a letter to Congressional leaders. Because the bill is in "cold stor age" and may come back for consid eration whenever its supporters have the idea that they can pass it, we give some of the arguments ad vanced by the President and Mr. Brown in their opposition to the measure. ' Mr. Roosevelt points out that if the Little Steel formula is broken, it will ststrt an "inevitable inflationary spir al that will "ultimately cancel out whatever gains labor made" and that it Would not aid farmers in the long run because higher wages and prices i would inevitably compel the farmers t toffy more for what thev DUV r , UfA reminds all American farmers, workers, managers and investors," that "we cannot improve our living standards in a period of total war. tV'Ontthe contrary," he said, "we must '" ". jforget our standards of living for fvlhe- duration." ' isft Moreover, the President points out t- "that the farmers "never got more t'than 107 per cent, of parity for their erops in the last war contrasted with i thfe 115 per cent, of parity they are ' J ijow receiving." He adds that "the i dpllar income, the purchasing power, -and the parity income of the farmer, . . .11 L:jLnw tlt.nn tits... nm.A of iVtaiV iUC Oil UlgUd tUYUl lUCJ' WC1C Ol llltlll Nvpeak during the last war." The Price Administrator asserts that "not only have prices the farm ers received . risen four times as mnch as the prices farmers pay, but have also risen four times as as farmers' cost of production, including the cost of higher labor. 'The prices farmers receive, there fore, yield tothe farmer, for his own 1 'Ar and that of his family, a better urn' than he has ever before uiown. --.JTJie net income of farm operators in 1W2 was $10,200,000,000, 128 per cent' higher than the level of 1929. This income was $1,400,000,000 greater than ever before received by farnfcn. VJH points out that 'farm prices -and farm incomes have in fact been ; raised to fair levels." Between Au gust, 1939, and January, 1943, the prices farmers received rose 110 per cent, In the same period, the prices that farmers paftf were held to an in crease of only 26 percent. Donald Nelson's Bubbles. Wwr Production Splendid. ' There are people in this country Lwho have been unduly worried by Strikes and absenteeism and others "Who have been worried by the in creased profits of industry. There is distinct danger that our indignation at strikes and absentee j workers and our condemnation of in ' dustrial greed will cause us to over ; look the magnificent production re cord of the nation. I Mr. Donald Nelson, chairman of the War Proucdtion Board, concedes that i there have been some "unwarranted strikes," some "bad absentee situa tions" and some "isolated but ugly 'instances of misconduct in industry," but he goes further and points oui that "these are merely bubbles on the tidal wave of the American war ef fort." The nation can accept the conclu sion of Mr. Nelson in this respect. Unfortunately, many newspapers and public speakers have over-emphasized Taylor theme EDENTON. N. C.

This is not fair because it places en unjustified burden upon labor. It should be admitted also that there are some Americans who unduly magnify the "misconduct in industry" and overlook the mistakes of labor. It is important for the people of the nation to secure a balanced pic ture of what is going on et all times. We should be on guard against bias ed conclusions, based upon an imper fect presentation of actual facts. If we wish to understand the American scene, it is necessary to eliminate the adjectives of enthusiastic writers and commentators. The facts should speak for them selves and citizens should have sense enough to understand when a writer or speaker is presenting only some of the facts affecting the situation. A successful democracy must de pend upon the ability of its people to make proper decisions and their judgment must be based upon an in telligent appraisal of all the facta surrounding a given issue. Air Attacks Hurt Nazis. Anglo-American Offensive. The productive energy of the United States is being turned to the manufacture of war and munitions. It has taken time for this democracy to realign its industry to the needs of total warfare but it has been suc cessfully accomplished. Just as the entire industrial re sources of the United States and Great Britain are required to support our war effort, so the vast industrial resources of Axis-dominated Europe are vital to the successful defense of Hitler's expanded domain. Disruption of industry, in a nation at war, is as important as a defeat on a field of battle. Consequently, new interest must arise in the evi dence that the Anglo-American aerial offensive is beginning to get under way and that German-held Europe is threatened with the slow destruction of its industrial regime. For many months the R. A. F., which recently celebrated its twenty fifth anniversary, has been bearing the brunt of the aerial attack upon Axis territory but there are signs that, at last, the flood of big bombers from the United States is lapping at the shores of Europe itself. What is going to be the effect af the rain of bombs upon German and Italian industry, ports and naval bases? Nobody can tell whether the aerial offensive will win the war, but everybody knows, by this time, that it will help and that, if "continued, it will inevitably reduce the output of Axis industry to the point where it will be utterly unable to support the Axis armies in the field. Quick results are not to be ex pected because it is well known that the Axis has enormous reserve of GAIN Harvest a "Victory" crop this year. America needs most you can produce.

The armies in the field today have probably enough supplies for heavy fighting during 1943 but every industrial plant bomb ed in the Spring and Summer of 1943 means that much less strength for the Axis soldiers in 1944. Censorship Nonsense. Press Not Supreme. There is a lot of nonsense being printed in some metropolitan news papers about the decision of the government that newspaper men will not be permitted to cover the inside deliberations of the world parley on food which will convene in this coun try on April 27th. Much is made of the fact that the conference concerns food and is non military. This is a mistaken idea. Naturally, the food situation in all parts of the world will be considered and it is quite probable that some 0 the foreign nations, participating in the parley, prefer not to have their food scarcities reported. There is a mistaken idea that the newsDaDers of the nation are entitl - ed, by virtue of our free press, to s;i in on any conference anywhere. This is not the case, even with our own legislative bodies which often go into executive sessions to discuss matters before announcing decisions. The public is certainly entitled to be advised as to the results of any food conference and no commitments binding the United States should be entered into without the consent of all those who are legally entitled to pass upon the question. If a treaty is necessary it is the prerogative of the Senate to pass upon the pact but it is not necessary I for every newspaper reporter in the nation to have the right to be pres ent upon all phases of preliminary negotiation and discussion.

And Your Str ntii at .i Energy Is Below Pitr It may be caused by disorder of kid ney function that permits poisonous waste to accumulate. For truly many people feel tired, weak and miserable when the kidneys fail to remove excess acids and other waste matter from tbe blood. You may Buffer nagging backache, rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness, getting up nights, leg pains, swelling. Sometimes frequent ana scanty urina tion with smarting and burning is an other sign that something is wrong with the kidneys or bladder.
