Land Reform May Help Solve
lfalian Domestiz Problems
BY PETER EDSON
Ni.A Washington Correspondent
ROME.— (NEA) —Most controversial subject in
italy above rearmament is land reform. The man in
charge of the program is Prof, Mario Bandini of the
ltalian Ministry of Agriculture. He has been in the
United States and is familiar with what America
has done on soil conservation and reclamation.
There are some things that Italian farmers can
teach American about land use, however.
There are many points about the Italian land re
form program which have not been appreciated in
the United States, either. It has not been a ruthless,
socialistic seizure of the land just for the sake of
giving it to peasants. Under carefully worked out
and exact tables in the 1950 land reform law, the
high-production land already under intense cultiva=-
tion like that mentioned above is made less subject
to redistribution.
As an example, land which is producing au in
come of 1,000 lira per hectare, pre-war (roughly
$1.25 net for two and a half acres), may not be ex
propriated at all. Land producing 900 lira per hec
tare may be expropriated 25 percent. Land produc=
ing only 30C lira per hectare may be expropriated
65 percent. This is to break up the big estates of
idle land and put it in use.
In all, 1,750,000 acres have been marked for sub
division by 1954, Two areas are in the north. One is
the Po Delta on the Adriatic. It is new land which
must be drained and reclainred. The other is a half
million-acre tract north of Rome on the Mediter
ranean coast. Two smaller areas are south of
Naples.
FINANCING COMES FROM THREE SOURCES
Financing for the purchase of expropriated land
is partially by bond issue, partially by a $550 mil
lion, ten-year appropriation by the Italian govern
ment, partially by a $lO miilion World Bank loan
for Southern Italy's development.
Each area is administered by a separate author
ity. Its work is divided into three phases. Fisst is to
improve all the land, so that the new owners won’t
be moved into unproductive areas. This includes
building roads, housing, water, livestock and ma
chinery acquisition.
Second is subdivision of the land. Finally comes
organization of the small farnrers into cooperatives.
To date, the land has been one-third expropriated,
and this phase is to be completed by next summer.
Subdivision must be completed within three
years. Each farmer will get from five to 20 hectares
—12% to 50 acres—the average being about 17%
acres. For this land the peasant is given a 30-year,
3% percent loan.
He pays for his land a minimum of S4O an acre,
a maximum of sl6o—depending on quality — plus
improvements, and with an incentive subsidy. If
the improvements cost S3OO an acre, the government
pays 40 percent, or $l2O, leaving SIBO tc be paid by
the peasant. If the original cost of the land was SIOO
an acre, the purchaser’s cost is thus S2BO of a total
S4OO.
The state contribution is varied to secure produc=
tion of desired crops in different areas.
SYSTEM IS A COOPERATIVE OPERATION
Every 250-acre tract is to be organized into a co
operative, One farmer is made head of the coopera
tive and he schedules use of tractor, distribution of
water in irrigated districts. For every 1,500 acres,
the government has bought two heavy and two
light tractors.
Farmers using the cooperative tractors pay serv
ice chaxges, and if there are any profits at the end
of the year, they will be divided among the users.
Under this system of land reform, Prof. Bandini
estimates that 100,000 new farms can be developed
in Italy in the next three years. The benefits will
be double. First will be an increase in food produc
tion. Italy now produces about 85 percent of its own
food. Over a period of years, with further land de
velopment, it might be nrade self-sustaining, with
some shift in crops.
The second benefit is relief for HMaly’s excess
pepulation. With two million now unemployed, an
other two million partially employed, and insuffi
cient emigration to relieve the surplus population,
there is no other escape than to g:t more people
back on the land.
Figuring four Italians per family, the land-reform
program will take care of 400,000 more people.
Italy, about the area of Arizona, now has four mil
lion farnr families, The whole U. S. has less than
six million farms.
Italy’s population is increasing by 400,000 every
year, so the land reform program is only a partial
solution. It does offer an interesting laboratory for
all other countries in the Mediterranean and Mid
dle East where land reform is the number one do
mestic problem.
All day long a man competes. When he comes
home at night he wants a stupid girl who’ll keep
her mouth shut and let him look at television.—Cy
Howard, radio writer.

Yoters Must Needle Congress
To Action On Hoover Reforms
The Hoover Commission’s recommendations on
government reorganization and economy were
among the boldest and most hopeful proposals ever
offered for the betterment of our federal! system.
In the beginning, both the President and Con~
gress seemed to realize this, and they moved ener
getically and with some courage to put these rec
ommendations in force. By the time the 81st Con
gress was well into its second year, half the pro
gram had been adopted, and savings of consequence
were foreseen,
At this juncture, however, the streamlining drive
gradually bogged down. Mr. Truman sent up io
Capitol Hill certain proposals which were modified
with apparent political intent. The lawmakers
balked at these, and then stubbornly refused to
approve other important features of the commission
plan.
The 82nd Congress, which convened this January,
allowed the unfinished portion of the program to
languish in the backwaters. Nothing was done.
Thus we stand, with perhaps the most vital half
of the Hoover proposals still awaiting action nearly
three years after their original presentation.
It we can believe the cheerful supporters of the
program, additional savings rising ultimately to
from $3 billion to $5 billion could be realized by
carrying it througt. Whickever measure you take,
it meang greater value from the taxpaying dollar,
perhaps some day a smaller tax burden.
This is no dull academic matter of interest only
to students of efficient government. It concerns
every American who is worried over the course of
federal spending. With defense, foreign aid, pen
sions and debt requiring huge outlays that simply
cannot be escaped, there is almost no hope for real
savings except through a wholesale modernization
of our creaky, jerry~built government structure.
Each scund advance made should contribute to a
result that one day will mean more money in your
pocket. You therefore have a right to expect action,
both from the President and from Congress. This is
the perfect opportunity for lawmakers to demon
strate their oft-expressed affection for economy.
If they do not act affirmatively, you nray be sure
they are yielding to pressures from those who have
a vested interest in fat government—in waste, du
plication cos effort, over-expansion and mismanage
ment.
A governing body which feels itself powerless to
control or reduce its expanding girth is a danger
to its country and to the democratic system it seeks
to make effective.
The voters of America will mark carefully how
their representatives meet this problem in 1952.
The testing time is nearly at hand for the nmren who
shout so much an do so little for economy.
Compliment To Labor
The Nobel Peace Prize Committee acted with
commendable breadth of vision when it awarded
the 1951 prize to Leon Jouhaux of France, 72-year
old anti-Communist labor leader.
In France he is credited with saving the French
labor movement from being totally subverted by
Red leadership. He organized a workers' force on
his own and led it out of the Communist-donrinated
General Confederation. He championed a United
States of Europe, and became head of the anti-Red
International Confederation of Free Trades Unions.
An award to Jouhoux not only is recognition for
brilliant service in the cause of freedom. It gives
emphasis to the fact that labor has a large and
rightful role in that fight, and can be of inestima
ble worth at every stage of the struggle.
.
Economic Concern
~ Building General Eisenhower’s European army
isn’t just a matter of purely military problems. His
staff, under General Alfred M. Gruenther, has to be
concerned with the economics of the nine North
Atlantic countries in Europe, to make sure that they
are sound enough to support armies after the Anr
erican troops go home.
The planners start with a simple chart which
shows comparative earning power of average work
ers in terms of how long they have to work to earn
enough to buy a pound of butter and a pair of
shoes. Today it looks like this:
Hours of labor necessary to buy:
1 Pair
1 Lb. Butter Work Shoes
In United States .... .34 hours 7 hours
In Great Britain .. .. .40 hours 14 hours
IR Franee .. ..., 2.5.08 hoonrs 26 hours
I ely ... 0., 820 Bouks 55 hours
In USSR ... .. ... .000 bours 66 hours
The countries that can produce the mest in the
least time should win. The place to begin building
up the morale of Europe is to talk in terms of more
and cheaper shoes. Military morale will follow
naturally.
Dignity cannot be developed by those who are
subject to alien control. , . . Self respect is not felt
by those who have no rights of their own. .— John
Foster Dulles, U. S. ambassador.
The military establishment is already in the sad
dle, and there is no termination or levelling off of
the demands of the military (for money).—Senator
Ralph E. Flanders (R.-Vermont).
This is one of those things you get involved in
before you know what is happening.—John Reih
man, of Milwaukee, upon being discovered as biga
mist.

One of the clauses in the con
tract—pointing up signs of the
times—provides that any uran

to the production of fissionable
material in desposit on the land
is reserved for the United States.
Commissioner Crawford stated
that the county will open roads
through the park sometime in the
future. Mrs. Vail Deadwyler, chair
man of the park committee, said
that definite action in the park
development will probably begin
next spring when the back waters
from Clark Hill dam are expect
ed to reach the park area.
This jroject should be of special
interest to Athenians because of
the popularity of Bobby Brown
while he was a student at the Uni

of Congressman Paul Brown and
lost his life in service in World
War Two.
