FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1945 Farmer Economists The farmers of the United States are gradually learning the difference between their true income and appa rant income. This is encouraging be cause when farmers appreciate the economic facts that confront agricul ture, they will be able to intelligently manage their affairs and cooperate in the effort to improve conditions. The apparent income of agriculture is based entirely upon prices receiv ed for Aarm products. Quick-thinking farmers, therefore, conclude that the problems of agriculture can be solved if the prices paid for agricultural products increase. This would be true if other prices stood still while the price of farm products advanced. The economic facts, however, tell us another story. The true income of the farmer depends upon two factors, the prices received for farm products and the prices that the farmer must pay for what he buys. Obviously, if prices of farm products go up twenty five per cent, the farmer will receive more cash, but, if, in the meantime, the prices that the farmer must pay for what he buys have increased fif ty per cent, the farmer has suffered a loss of twenty per cent in purchas ing power. The cash income of farmers during the first half of 1945 was at a rec1 ord high rate, but, because the price level of goods which the farmers buy) went up faster, there was a reduc tion of 2.9 per cent in the farmers' purchasing power in the first half of last year. Safety Stretches Far The American people, now clamor ing for the quick return of veterans from abroad and protesting the dis patch of fresh soldiers into the zones of occupation, should carefully con sider the developments of the war and their reationship to the defense of the United States, and other democra tic nations, in the future. It is certainly apparent, from the successful employment of aerial bom bardment against Germany and Japan that future attacks against any coun try can be organized, launched and continued from bases hundreds and thousands of miles away. The ato mic bomb does not change this pos sibility, but it multiplies many times the danger of damage and destruc tion. It has been demonstrated, we be lieve, in the present war, that no na tion can depend upon its own air strength as a complete defense against devastating bombing. No one knows how long the Unit ed States will be able to retain the secret of the atomic bomb, or what year in the future some nation will discover some new principles of de struction. Certainly, if offensive forces increase and the range of rock ets or aircraft continues to expand, it may be possible for any country, al most anywhere, to launch an attack UDon any other country. Inasmuch as defense methods have not been deve looed to cope with stratosphere rock ets, or to prevent the dropping of atomic bombs, the safety of the world requires continuous supervision of suspected areas in order to prevent sudden and secret attacks. This probably means that in the fu ture it will be necessary to occupy and adequately police the territory of any disgruntled, warlike nation, I his ap plies to Germany and Japan, defeated in the present war but surely pos sessing some individuals who look for ward to a new attempt at world con- auest. In the face of what has happened to Germany and Japan, the United States cannot be certain of its own safety unless it is certain that there is no possibility of a secret and sua den attack from any area within bombing range of this country. This means that we must have confidence in the Governments within range of bombing attacks and that if we have any doubts, we must be cognizant of what is taking place in the area con trolled by any hostile or disgruntled regime. Jobs! All of us believe in the future of America. We believe that the present uncertainty is only a temporary period between war prosperity and an era of peace-time plenty. But believing Js not enough. That, alone, is not the answer to unemploy ment and the other hazards of recon version through which we are pass ing. The only solution for unemploy ment is JOBS. We, in this community, are fortun ate. Of course, the national situation is bound to have some influence on each State and county of the nation, but by and large we have no recon version problems here. Our farms and forests are producing commodi ties as necessary to the well-being of the country and as urgently needed now as during the crucial years of war. A job is waiting for most any one who wishes to work. Of course, working on a farm or cutting pulpwood in the forests does not pay the swollen wages obtainable from some of the big city war indus tries before V-J Day. But living and working here does not cut wide gaps into a pay check either, with every thing from rent to recreation at in flated prices. In fact, taking all things into consideration, it is pos sible to live better and save more at current wages here than could be done with considerable higher big city wages. Nor are current wages low. Cur rent farm prices enable farmers to earn and pay good wages, while pay for pulpwood cutters and haulers and other workers in forest industries are higher than they have ever been. If anybody wants good living, doing healthy and invigorating work at good wages, he can find it on one of our neighboring farms or in cutting urgently needed top quality pulpwood for one of our neighboring pulp mills.
