JONES'S FOOD POLICY OUTLINED
BY PETER EDSON
Banner-Herald Washington Correspdndent
Through the President's food message to €on
-Bress, and through various statements in appear
ances before Congress, the 1944 program of War
Food Administrator Marvin Jones is beginning to
appear. Judge Jones himself has made _public no
complete report on the plans he Has“been making
since his appointment last June, but unofficially
and in broad outline his policy may be said® to
shape up somewhat like this: y i ?
First—establish definitely, and then let the farm
ers know well in advance -of their planting sea
sans, just what both the floor prices and the ceiling
prices will be on all the agricultural prbducts
needed in the war effort. -
Second—let them know what quantities of each
of the farm products will be needed. |
Third—then see that the farmers will havei
enough fertilizer, farm machinery and labor to
handle those crops.
Judge Jones, as an eii-congressman himself, is
considered one of the best operators the Depart
ment of Agriculture set-up has ever had in dealing
with Congress.
PRICES AND QUANTITIES
The major part of his attention has been given
to the first part of his program—determing the
quantities needed and the floor, support prices that
will be guaranteed to farmers next year. The labor,
fertilizer and machinery requirements have not
been neglected, but have in the main been handled
by deputy administrators in the WFA.
Acreaé‘es to be planted in the various crops next
year have in the main been agreed on. The last
of the “teams” of agricultural experts who went
out to the states to collect data on what could be
grown next year, returned to Washington about the
first of November, and by Nov. 15 the totals should
be ready for presentation to congressional commit
tees. J. B. Hutson, president of the Commodity
Credit Corporation, whose subsidizing future hangs
in the congressional balance, may make the presen
tations to Congress in his dual role of director of |
the Food Production Administratinny; in order to
give Congress estimates of what will be needed by
CCC to establish and maintain the support prices
needed to get the production.
Judge Jones himself has madg the estimate that
his program would require $6500 million for sub
sidies in the next 18 months, on top of the subsidy
appropriations almeady made by Congress and the ‘
money that will be received from the sale of crops
already purchased and held by the government.
The 1943 subsidies are costing some SBOO million.
CROSS PURPOSES
While the War Food Administration is working
to have its program accepted by Congress, WFA
itself is being worked on three ways by Congress, i
by the farm organizations and by industrial labor
pressure groups—all at somewhat cross purposes‘
and for different motives. .
Sen. Harry F. Byrd has openly attacked the‘
whole subsidy idea as “bypassing” Congress. Sen.
Carl Hatch, apparently believing it will be impos
sible to get approval for further subsidies, has had
a group of congressmen meet with Judge Jones in
an effort to find other means of meeting the same
end: which is to keep control over the cost of living. :
This ultimate objective is as much a part of the ‘
Jones program as are his proposals to accomplish?
it. .
The farm organization leaders keep up their
needling of the War Food Administration, but |
largely n}; current problems. They opposed the re
cently established ceiling on soft wheat. They are |
against estal')li'shlng ceilngs on - citrus fruits, now}
under considération. They are particularly oppos-‘]
ed to any price rollbacks. 3 |
Labor groups, on the other hand, keep up their
pressure campaign' for rollbacks on the cost of liv- 1
ing. l
It is against all these confused and conflicting\
forces that the War Food Administration must}
work for the acceptance of his program, which
since the 10,000-word food message to Congress has l
now become the President’s program. Maybe Judge
Jones can put it over. If not, watch for a lot of
midnight oil burning around WFA.

Thus far, Russian recapture of territories has}
added more to her population to be fed than to her
current supplies of food. The hard vear for Russia

FOR WHAT DOES THE CIO STAND?
If there ever was a four-flusher and a
degenerate, it is John L. Lewis, head ot
the United Mine Workers of America and
former head of the CIO. This man, after
entering into an agreement with Coal
Administrator Ickes, through which the
miners were to return to work, after
their demands for increased pay had been
met, it was agreed that no more strikes
would be called or permitted.
However, the agreement entered into
by Ickes and Lewis was worth nothing
more than a scrap of paper. On Armistice
Day, thousands of miners in Pennsylvania
mines walked out for the alleged reason
that they were entitled to time and one
half pay for work done on holidays. The
extra pay for work for holidays was
eliminated in the agreement signed by
Lewis with Ickes; but that had no effect{
on the miners — they walked out andl
caused *he loss of thousands of tons of
coal that is so ‘badly needed at this time.‘
This is only one instance of violation of
the agreement which was entered into{
last week — in good faith on the part of
the government, but without regard for
living up to it by Lewis and his miners.
" Another incident worthy of calling the
’atteption of the public to was the meet
ing of the CIO, held in Philadelphia lastl
week. This was the sixth annual con
vention of the Congress of Industrial‘
Organization. At this meeting a resolu
tion reaffirming the pledge of the CIO
not to strike was adopted. At the very
time the delegates to the CIO were re
newing their pledge of no-strike, more
than 10,000 employes of the General
Motors Corporation’s Chevrolet division,
were voting 4 to 1 in favor of strike ac
tion because of alleged grievances, ‘
~ How long willl these labor saboteurs,
labor agitators, and labor racketeers be’
allowed to control the affairs of this
nation, through their invisible govern
ment which has proven to be more pOW-l
erful than the legally constituted govern
ment organized by the people. The time!
has arrived for a halt, and unless some
thing is done to elimjinate Lewis and hisi
folicwers, the constitutional government |
and the rights of the people will be over
thrown and a government of lawlessness
will be instituted in these United States.
SALES TAX MEETS POPULAR FAVOR
'~ While Congress is wresting over some
means of increasing the revenues of this
country, in order to carry on the war ef
fort, the deficit could be met and more
than enough income could be realized for
all purposes, if the two Houses would
agree upon a reasonable sales tax. For
some reason, the Congressmen and Sena
tors have failed to look favorably upon
such a tax, and whenever it is brought up
it meets with opposition sufficient to kiil
it. At least, that has been the experience
of all sales tax measures brought before
the Ways and Means Committee, of the
House. This committee has consistently
opposed the proposed tax, thereby pre
venting it from ever reaching the floor of
the House, where all the Congressimen
could have an opportunity of declaring
themselves either for or against the
measure. :
However, a recent Gallop Poll may
cause some, if not a majority of the mem-‘
bers, to change their minds. The poll
showed a preponderance of voters in fa
vor of the tax, which should be satisfying
to political - minded Congressmen, The
poll showwed 53 percent of the people
for the sales tax, 34 pecrent for higher
income taxes, and 13 percent who did not
express an opinion.
We believe that the sales tax is the
fairest of all taxes. People paying in pro
portion to their purchases. The little fel
low pays his share and the big fellow pays
in proportion to his purchases. No one is
discriminated against, but all are put on
the same footing. Such a tax is far more
equitable and reasonable than a specific
tax, directed at certain classes, especially
the white collar element.
We hope that Congress will get down
to business and stop dilly dallying over
this or that impracticable scheme for rais
ing taxes of a burdensmoe character. The
sales tax would prove sufficient to raise
the amount called for hv Secretary M~»
genthau and the Pl_'esident of the United
States. By all means, we hope that our
representatives in Congress, will agree
upon a sales tax, and enact into law,
without bickering or delaying action.

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO "VU”
A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING
NOT MUCH OF ANYTHING
By HUGH ROWE
Now that the international
conference of representatives of
the Allied Nations has ended,
naturally there is much inter
est in the personnel of those
who participated.
These men were picked by their
governments for being outstanding
and representative and fitted for
‘dealing with the most momentous
condition this world has ever
known. It may be of interest to
learn that Anthony Eden, the
British secretary of state for for
eign alfairs, speaks a number of
languages. At Oxford, he excelled
in Oriential languages, especially
in Arabic and Persian. He speaks
French like a Parisian and speaks
some German. He was, no doubt,
the best informed an on lan
guages of any of tlgg other; mem
bers of the conference, ‘
» ,Tha.liveétock industry has
“ grown tq be one of thg greatest
in importance in relation to
agricultural pursuits of this
country. .
_ However, the government has
adpptéd many strict requirements
for inspection of cattle and hogs
before they. are permitted to be
placed on the market. The Agri
cultural Department says, “that in
1942 a total of 95,448,996 animals
were inspected by the federal gov -
ernment. Of these, 11,577,874 were
cattle and 56,889,559 were swine
There were 4,844 live cattle and
21,5679 swine condemned. At post
mortem gnspection 60,661 cattle
and 131,073 swine were condemn
ed.” So it will be seen that the
government lis keeping a stific:t:
check on all meat before it a 8
slaughtered and placed on the
market for consumption by the
people. o
.We read much of the succp2ss -
with which the Red Armies are
meeting with over in Russia in
their resistance to the invasion
of thg Axis powers.
At ‘one time, the Nazis seemed
to be driving on to Moscow; and
in the early part of the war, the
Germans came dangerplsly near
to capturing the seat of the gov
ernment of Russia, but the Reds
stiffened their defense and drove
Hitler crowd back. The records
show that the extent of Axis oc
cupation of the Soviet Union, 1941~
42, was ‘reported to be 580,000
square miles, By July 12 o¢ this
year Russia had retaken 236,000
square miles. Since July 12, 89,000
square miles have been retaken.
which goes to show that the Rus
sians are more than holding their
own. :
Every now and then we run ‘
across something about Abra
ham Lincoln, the War Bgtween
the States president, which is
interesting jand Jin many in
stances enlightening. ‘
it is a well known fact that he
was a great student, and made it
a rule to read every book that he
could lay his hands on, but we
did not know that he was an
athlete and excelled in sports.
Someone has written a squib about
Mr. Lincoln, in which it was said
that “he excelled in wrestling and
in his youth amazed men with his
lifting power.” Carl Sandburg says
that in jumping, foot-racing, pitch
ing the crowbar, throwing the
maul, he carried away the de
cisions against the lads of his own
age, and usually won against those
older than himself.

“SHE'LL HAVE THE BABY”
CHAPTER XI
Emily looked at the name and
aaaress agam. Karsten, Cedar
Court . , . it must be one of Dad’s
pauents, she tnought. Karsten-
But she dian’t remember anyone
named Karsten, ]
‘'he moment she went into the
very small house and saw her
patient she knew. Hilda Allen.
Dr. Hall had brought Hilda into
the world, and here she was mar
ried, estabuisned in a little home
and, it transpired, going to have
a baby of her own.
“Why, Hilda,” said Emily, as
tondshed . . . “I'd forgotten—that
is, I never knew your married
name.”
“Miss Hall!” Hilda's delicate
drawn face was illuminated. *“I
hadnt any idea. . . The doctor
said he’d have a nurse come at
once. He's at the hospital, he said
he’d get here as soon as he could.”
She looked desperately anxious.
“I was so scared,” she added,
“when I heard Dr. Hall was ill. I
amun't know what to do. . .”
She explained the circumstances
haltingly and Emily said briskly:
“yne first thiag to do is to get
to bed. T'll help you.” She took
the frightened girl into the bed
orom, found npightgown, robe and
slippets under her direction, un
dressed her deftly took her pulse
and. temperature. _She asked,
“You're all alone?”
“Gus—that's my husband — had
to go into Boston,” said Hilda shiv
ering. “My mother died last year,
Miss Hall. The only other person
I'd want is my aunt. But she’s
away, too. This — this just bap
pened a little while ago.” she said
her lips white.
A little later Bmily opened the
door for Jim and stood for a mo
ment in the narrow hallway, giv
ing him her report. Together they
went back to the girl.
Presently Jim went next\door
to telephone. There was no ‘phone
in the Karsten cottage. He re
turned and smiled reassuring at
his patient. “The ambulance will
be here very shortly,” he said.
On the way to the hospital, Em--
ily sat beside’ Hilda in the ambul
ance, holding her hand. Jim fol
lowed 'in his car.
She waited while Hilda was ad
mitted and taken to the ward.
After a time Jim came out to her.
He said, smiling, “She’ll be all

right, I'll look in on her later this
evening. She's better off here with
someone to look after her than at
home. She’ll have to stay in bed,
perfectly quiet, for some time.” He
added, “I don’t think she believes
me. She looks upon me as a very
poor substitute four your father.
and, of course, she's right.”
“If you’d wait a moment,’ said
Emily, “perhaps I could persuade
her—"
She went back toward the ward,
and when she reappeared, she was
smiling. \
“You're wrong, she likes you,.
she thinks you're grand. And she's
perfectly satisfied to remain here.
She asked me to go back to Cedar
Court, pack a bag for her with the
things she’ll need and leave a note
for Gus so that he ‘wouldn’t be
scared.”
“I'll go with you,’ he said. “I'm

They went back to Cedar Court
and let themselves in with Hil

dinately proud. . ‘While Emily
packed, putting in the picture of
Gus — showing him stern large
and very self-conscious in his
wedding clothes, Jim prowled
around the house chewing on a
cold pipe. “It’s a crime,” he an
nounced, coming to stand before
her, as she bent over the shabby
litt,» suitecase, “a kid like that
getting married. And she hasn’t
any business having children, she's
frail and undernourished and--"
“She’'s in love,” said Emily
calmly, “and Gus has a gcod job

Someone was coming up the
steps. Emily and Jim regarded one
