But the ensuing deadlock was both startling and disappointing. After Jong sessions given over to discus- sion, there still were almost as many Plans put forward as there were in- dividuals present. Agreement was not im sight and each man from each ection was clinging doggedly to his original position. Tt is clear that it cannot be to the advantage of agriculture to have its forces divided and wrangling among ‘themselves. Either every section and every phase of agricultural industry will rise at the same time or they ‘will all continue to rest separately in ‘the low estate which they now “en- yoy.” ‘What caused this insistence by many men on many plans is not en- tirely clear but jealousy between farm organizations seems to be a contrib- uting cause. In this country we have the Farm Bureau Federation, the Grange and the Farmers Union striving for mem- bership and to increase their power. In some states, as in North Dakota, ‘one or the other of these groups has the field practically to itself.

Back in the townships the competition ex- tats and it is not always accompanied by good feeling among the officials of rival groups, ‘The various plans for farm rehabil- itation advanced by the leaders of these groups in the past have shown & wide diversity of opinion and bitter arguments have been carried on as to which was right. This attitude apparently was carried into the con- ference at Washington called by Sec- etary Wallace for a review of the current situation.

It Passed Anyway Failure of the Democratic caucus to bind itself to support the presi- __.| dent’s economy plan on Saturday was followed quickly by passage of the bill sorely needed. For the last two years at least, economy has been recognized as a major governmental problem. Con- gress has struggled with it and the result has been increasingly greater expenditures and mounting deficits despite feeble efforts at retrench- ment. Congress stands today indicted of incapability in dealing with this ques- tion. No one knows it better than congress and no one knows better than congress the degree of its guilt. The reason for this is plain enough. Congressional districts are relatively small affairs and each congressman must speak for his district. Fre- quently he must speak for a small result is the log-rolling for which con- gress is notorious. national budget must be reduced, yet turn away the wrath of home groups which may have been displeased. In many ways it is regrettable that concentration of power in the hands of the president seems to be the only way of getting this job done. Yet the Past failures of congress admit of no other remedy. Opposition to the bill will be more marked in the senate and may be More successful. It will be delayed there and opposing forces will have opportunity to marshal their re- sources.

Once the national government is on its feet and going forward, private interprise will be encouraged to do so. In connection with the effort to re- duce payments to world war veter- ans, there should be no misunder- standing. Any attempt to seriously impair the benefits paid to men who suffered injury during war service should be resisted. The real question is whether the government should continue to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars yearly to men whose disabilities are in no way traceable to war service. Right here in Bismarck we have men drawing disability compensation whose injuries were due to their own misconduct years after the war was over. Whether or not the people wish this system to continue is the real issue before congress in the president's economy proposals. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the thought draught begins. No one can draw the line between a current of fresh air—that is ventilation—and a draught. Aside from the smug notions of & lot of old fogy physicians there is not even a consensus of opinion upon what constitutes an objectionable draught. Every little mind has a no- tion of its own about that, and the notion of the eminent physician or the health officer is of no greater weight than yours or mine. Scientifically there is no ground to imagine a current of air that chills any part of the body surface pro- duces any disease.
