I showed it in a court- yard one night to some Chinese Government officials. They were simply amazed that American farmers could work such vast tracts of land, produce so much, and still have time to relax and enjoy themselves. “Chinese farmers have to work practically all the time to eke an existence out of their little patch- es of land. We've got to help them and others to raise their standards. In doing so, we promote world peace and understanding.” some PRIZES TO FARMERS One of Marshall's callers, Greg- ory WUozier, a young rancher of Texarkana, Arkansas, suggested that, under the Junior Chamber’s plan, prizes might be awarded to young farmers who have made im- portant contributions to agricul- ture in other countries. But the big inducement, he said, would be a trip to the United States. Say, for instance, 10 youths in a small farming community in Italy are competing for the trip,” ex- plained Dozier. “The whole com- munity will - get into the spirit, and better production is bound to result. This ties right in with your efforts, under the Marshall Plan, to help others help them- selves. “However, our main objective is to promote friendship and better understanding between farmers of the United States and other coun- tries. The Junior Chamber is con- vinced that its plan will accom- plish them.” “I think you have a great idea,” responded Marshall. “The State Department is going to give it some serious thought.” Note—The Junior Chamber offi- cials also got a favorable response from the Agriculture and Interior Departments. PEOPLE'S ARMY FOR PEACE Last December this columnist tossed out the idea that one good way to get behind the Iron Cur- tain and win friends for the USA was to write letters to relatives in Europe. Relatives are inclined to believe what their kinfolk say. And if word comes by letier that the USA isn't all that the commie radio pays it is, that it isn't looking for war, and would chiefly like to see 3&: prosperous United States pe, then those rela- tives are likely to believe the true facts. “ | by other Congr en.” how any sensible ! far more likelv to 11 If tests or surveys could be made they would be | reveal that it is not the American | public whose mental age is 13'2 but some of the people | shrewd they may who are running the movies and radio. No matter how be, they still appear to be blind to the moral issues involved in their treatment of | Since the Soviet Government operates on the|the medium from which they derive such cnormous“ often enough it | profits. Various people have acted on this suggestion and so effectively that some of the Communist news- papers in Europe are yelling “Un- cle!” They want the letter bar- rage to cease. Most effective inspiver of -letters has been Generoso Pope, the Ital- ian-American newspaper publisher in New York, who has organized letter-writing clubs and commit- tees among Italian-Americans all over the USA. He estimates that perhaps 2,000,000 letters have now been written to Italy alone. No wonder the commie press is howl- ing! Equally effective letters can be written to Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia—the countries just inside the Iron Cuttin. These are some of the real weap- ons of peace. Whether the State Department is voted new propa- ganda funds or not, individual Americans can autcmatically en- list in the people’s army for peace by getting busy in all sorts of ways to build up American {riend- ship, WHAT'S IN TAX BILL Some Congressmen are just a little dubious as to what it was they voted for when the tax bill sailed through the House of Rep- resentatives the other day. For instance, in the closed door session of the Ways and Means Committee which preceded passage of the bill, a unique debate took place regarding the provision for joint income-tax returns by man and wife: | This part of the bill stated: “The combined normal tax and surtax under section 11 and subsection (B) of this section shall be twice the combined normal tax and surtax that would be determined if the net income and the appli- cable credits against net income provided by section 25 were re- duced by one half.” ‘To explain this complicated legal jargon the committee called in tax expert Middleton Beavan He tried bravely to reduce this lan- guage to simple English, but only got more snarled up than ever. Finally he shugged his should- ers and gave mp. “We'll have an example worked out in the report,” he said. \ “We need to have a clear ex- planation,” emphasized Tennessee's Jere Cooper, “in order to answer questions that will be prupuunded‘ | Rhode Forand , snorted in disguest. “How can we expect the people ' to understand this” he asked, “If | we don't understand it ourselves?” GRAIN-MARKET FEUDSTER Three - hundred - pound Isidore Ginsberg, the alleged grain mar- keteer, broke off the Joint Con-! gressional Housing Committee hear- | ing the other day and promised | o pay up all claims against him if the Committee would call off an indictment being prepared | by the district Attorney in Queens County, N. Y. Wisconsin's Senator Joe MoCar-| Aime thy explained the Committee had power to call off a criminal ac-| tion. | “But,” the Senator reflected, “if you also promise to quit the grain ! market, we won't furnish the Dis- | triect Attorney with any informa- ticn against you.” Ginsberg thought over the pro- position for a moment, then decid- ed it was not enough guarantee against prosecution Without fur- | ther comment, he waddled back to the hearing room to take up! the {-ud where it left off.
