A Problem — And a Remedy When regional directors of the Resettlement administra- tion met recently in Washington, Felix Belair, Jr., of the New York Times interviewed those from the drouth area as well as those from the districts to which many have migrated from the Dakotas, eastern Montana and western Kansas. Cal A. Ward, Resettlement director in this area, suggested F that the government “buy up” 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 acres of F land in both Dakotas to make sure that it would be put to | proper use. He feels that much of the area between the Red : river and the Rocky mountains “will never be suitable for farm- ing again” and “should be put back into range and pasture be- cause, while there might be an occasional good year for grain, it can’t last. It is too windy.” -: The flight of farm families from the drouth areas during the last years is estimated at 15,000, of whom most went west fF and others went east to Minnesota and Wisconsin. i, Says Mr. Belair: “Walter Duffey, regional director for the region embracing Wash- ington, Oregon and Idaho, said that no less than 10,000 families had migrated to that area after having despaired of a future in the Da- kotas and Eastern Montana. “ “Every day they have been coming into the region in trucks and sometimes with trailers,’ he declared. ‘Some of them set themselves up on an abandoned farm or on cutover, undeveloped land, but the vast majority stop on the outskirts of some urban community and try to make a dollar or two as common laborers. “The big problem is to find some way of absorbing these agri- cultural immigrants,’ said Mr. Duffey. ‘To send them back where they came from seems an injustice to them even though their re- maining may work a hardship on the federal and state governments. ‘They've got to be taken care of wherever they go. “ ‘We have made investigations among these victims of drouth and have found that they are not ordinary wanderers but are in the majority virile families that are willing to work. They are victims of % natural and economic conditions. But the trouble is, that developed and in the Pacific Northwest has for years been under a heavy ; pressure. The trend of population westward has pretty well taken 4 up all developed land. “In fact, that same pressure and the land speculation it caused is at the root of most agricultural trouble in the region, Land has 4 been overcapitalized and most of those to whom we have made re- " habilitation loans have been forced to borrow because of the reflec- i tion of that overcapitalization in high rents and leasing contracts, taxes and interest’.” a R. I. Nowell, Resettlement chief for Minnesota, Wisconsin f and Michigan, said 8,000 families had moved into his area and i; had created a new problem “involving the wealth of farmers : long established in Minnesota.” This came about when some of the newcomers overbid present tenants for the right to operate farms owned by insur- ance companies and other absentee landlords. As a result the E old tenants were dispossessed to become clients of the re- F settlement administration, whereas they formerly were self- supporting. Jonathan Garst, head of the work in California, Nevada, | Utah and Arizona, put the “army of migratory farm workers” with which he has to deal at 50,000, and observed that most of them are “dispossessed tenants with a sprinkling of share- croppers.” This information is clearly pertinent to anyone seeking a solution to this problem as it affects North Dakota. It out- lines the situation which must be met by public action as well ' as the perils of migration. | Everything considered, one point stands out like a light- house. That is the fact that it would be cheaper and better | policy for the government to make such adjustments as it can within the drouth area rather than to continue going along | taking care of people on a miserably poor level and hoping for a break. That it CAN be done is obvious. That the people would welcome it is just as obvious. The requisites are the will, the Money and the ability to do it. Mass Brains Every American knows that mass production, as initiated by Henry Ford and brought to a high peak of perfection by him and his rivals in the automobile industry, is America’s greatest industrial marvel. : : What few understand, however, is that it is really made | possible by mass brains as well as by highly integrated pro- duction processes. é) F Many developments in the automotive industry are per- fected in the laboratories of various manufacturers, but men ‘employed there have no monopoly on perception and brains and | many inventions and innovations have come from other em- ‘Ployes as well as from persons outside the industry. A curious thing which everyone must have noticed is that /eny major improvement in automobile désign appears almost ‘Simultaneously on nearly every make of car. The reason for ng patents and most new features are made available to ‘every manufacturer on a standard basis at the same time. It is perhaps the only industry where such an arrangement ‘ists and much significance attaches to the fact that it has vanced farther in a given space of time and made greater ofits than any other major industry. Experience shows it be a good thing for every auto maker. Under the cross-licensing plan initiated by the Automobile nufacturers’ association and administered by its patents nmittee, 1,700 patents have been entrusted to the committee pn without payment of money royalty. This has been going since 1914 and the results speak for themselves. Bays the association: “Operation of the plan has been of immeasurable fit to car-buyers and the general public by expediting the development better and by making it possible to share, through progressively tr prices, the industry's saving in research and patent costs.” Th many cases an idea originating with one manufacturer has been ad- noed and perfected by another, while stiM a third has devised new and 9 it into @ vehicle. All receive the benefit and the co-operation in making brains available to the entire serve as @ model for other manufacturers. If other improved and their cost cheapened, as has been the automobile, the national standard of living would be s is that the industry has a definite working agreement for| y various firms and made available to everyone in the associa- ri he Bismarck TribunellMPLCATE MDIVAN senenitagoaareimcesree | IN TROTSKY'SPLOT How They Were Ordered to Sabotage Industries sabotage order: ter!” spiracy.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER II TH Stagecraft Gulld’s casting committee awaited the ambi- tious talent of the village in the Bobbs Neck Community Audi- torium.

The other was Dorothy Osborn, whose father had the $47.50 overcoat and unheated automobile. . The committee members con- ferred. Apparently they could not agree, for Miss Sellers stepped forward and addressed the play- ers who were her audience. “Two parts remain,” she said. “One is Julia, who, as you prob- ably know, ‘Half-Acre in Eden” Julia finds the path of love a very rocky path, indeed. The other part is Emma, Julia’s sister, a very jeal- ous and acid sort of woman— truly a remarkable opportunity for some very fine acting. The committee wishes Miss Osborn and Miss Canfield to come up on the stage again before making a final decision. Miss Osborn, will you come first, please?” Dorothy went forward and again paraded her histrionic abil- ities as they were suggested by Miss Sellers. A murmur of po- lite applause rewarded her. “Now, Miss Canfield.” % * 2 se @ Mike Bradford, who worked for .
