' "Uany farm leaders fir xher countries come here to. a' U. S. land policies and related sicutural programs,'' it is reported us "week in a pamphlet, Land Reform A World Challenge, prepared , by the Depart ment of State. 1 ' - 'These farm leaders, the pamphlet states, are asking us "to send more agricultural specialists to their coun tries to work with them." , The United States, aa to tb past js encouraging and supporting the land- reform programs of other nations which desire to undertake democratic reforms, the publication states.; The United States will continue that en couragement and support " ( The pamphlet notes, in she words of Secretary, of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan: "' V-'''', '',, EvidenUy a Uttle bit or land, a little bit of opportunity, can , do fori world peace something that great ar mies cannot possibly accomplish. It Is something that happens inside va person. It is something (hat cannot The World ProUeni j "... J Here is the land problem now be ing tackled by free countries around the globe. ; "In many of the areas of the world," the publication reports, "the land problem , is a major obstacle to political stability and economic and social development In large areas of the economically underdeveloped regions of the world, where roughly three-fourths of the people live on the soil and gain their livelihood from farming, many spend their lives under a . feudal type of tenure, mostly in poverty."1;' ." T 'v.'- Many of these tenants. It continues, "pay exorbitant rentals 0 to 70 per cent of the value of the crops for the privilege of working small, scattered plots. Others have no security of ten ure, little chance to earn a fair re turn, and practically no opportunity to progress into ownership". ... some are burdened with perpetual dets at interest rates sometimes exceeding 100 pr cent a year.";" s" American solutions, however, do not always apply to' other countries; the pamphlet explains, because -"in-, our. history the major challenge was to settle vast tracts of land in an empty continent." In many countries, where the people press upon their available land resources, the problem ? is ; re versed. For example: : "We think in 'tems oft family farms of 160 acres or nttre; in other countries, the average farm family must" often be supported on 50, 5, or even 2 acres' This com pelling difference imposes different programs and different solutions." 1 American Programs ''-:, ':. r' Qn the other hand, here are spme of the helpful American farm pro grams which are mentioned in the pamphlet Research is discussed as having "contributed' enormously to agricultural education and extension work.:- ;x-; In addition, "provision of adequate credit has helped keep the land in the hands, of the farmers and has opened the door to ownership for tenants. The practice of the democratic prin ciple of farmer participation in the administration of farm programs Jas been important' And cooperative or ganizations liave been'encouraged. - Pointed out in the pamphlet is the American belief that it is desirable for the farmer to own the land ' he cultivates, orv have opportunity to' be a landowner, What Is Land Reform? - Here is what "land reform'' ac tually means as the State Depart ment describes it The Department says that "many persons mistakenly identify land reform solely with land redistribution., While land reform' in some localities may require an ad justment of land-holdings, either by division or consolidation, such an ad- jusunent may or may not nave a part in a particular land-reform program." Land reform, the Department makes clear, covers a series of measures, all of which are familiar to the Ameri can farmer. " "Land reform has many aspects," it is stated. V "In some cases it in volves greater opportunity for owner ship of the land by those who culti vate it; clear titles to land and .water rights; security of tenure . . v. and reasonable rentals ... j "It may Include consolidation ,.f scattered plots, improved status fur agricultural wage laborers, and equit able and economic distribution c newly developed or reclaimed lands." Land reform also may include rea sonable credit, amortization of far" debts, the establishment of equital' tax -policies, and other measures ta make the intended improvement suc cessful, the pot-; Met Sums up.
