But there is one fundamental quality’| which is important to every newspaper, | AAA Trap for Farmers regardless of its size, and that is honesty | ._ of expression. Commenting on this point) some time ago, the Montgomery Advertiser: HI said: E | “What counts in judging the charac- | ter of a newspaper is whether if it reasons | f with intellectual honesty in arriving at its | | conelusions, or makes an appeal to pre- judices and emotions in order to influence the reading public to accept its opinions.” We may add that every editor fre- quently faces the necessity of making a decision on this very point. It is easy to tell the reader what he wants to hear, to take the popular side, to run with the pack. But it takes courage sometimes to | express an opinion, however sound, in op- position to the prevailing sentiment. But in such a case, no editor worthy of his responsible calling ever hesitates. He gives his honest opinions, regardless of who agrees or disagrees with them. He knows that such a policy will en- tail..criticism, and sometimes loss of busi- ness. But he also knows that his news- paper will be respected—and a newspaper fPEHES OPM ts Community usually succeeds in the long run. AN ECHO: “WHY?” “Why does torials?”” _In reply, let us ask, “why does any- body read them?” We have no idea of the right answer to either question but we have a_ few thoughts on the subject, which might be worth filling out “this space in these columns.

The real purpose of the bill is to give the Secretary of Agriculture, through his army of agents, the pow- er to tell farmers what they must and must not do, and to enforce these or- ders by various fines and penalties, The bait in the trap is certain fair- spoken generalities, different kinds of subsidies, = ey i L.

In this article we shall begin an ex- aminetion of the promises and lures that are held out. In subsequent arti- cles in this column we shall see what can happen to the farmers after the trap is sprung. Section 1 of the bill announces the following points of policy: ab"... resources use of soil fertility”; b)* prices ricultural them for consumption or export, and parity of incomes for ing such commodities’ - without interfering with such parity pri reserves and available suppli major agricultural commodities ade- quate to meet domestic cons and export needs in years of drought, flood and other adverse conditions, as well as in years of plenty.” This is ties. plates the annual preparation can agriculture as is prey to conserve national soil and prevent the wasteful f agriculture. to maintain both parity of | ris bil to farmers for major ag- commodities marketed by ‘mers market-|the state.

What a terrific price the country is compelled to pay for C. I. O.'s support of Roosevelt in the last presidential cam- paign! Communism does not threaten one church or one creed, but all faith and all religion, and this challenge must be met, as the Clergy League for America says. The fight against communism is not a sec- tarian crusade but is made by Protestant and Catholie alike, sive activities hostile to the American con- stitutional form of government. Strangely enough, grave danger lies in high places, With the retirement of Justice Van Devanter from the Supreme Court, every- body thought that President Roosevelt would at once appoint Senator Joe Robin- son to the vacated seat. No more faithful advocate of his policies had the President than he, and that may be the very reason why he is retained in tae senate, where the senator from Arkansas can continue his efforts in behalf of the presidential program.

Diplomatic relations have not been renewed and recent advices in- dicate that the Paraguayan army has turned against Provincial-President Rafael | Franco in order not to°withdraw from a! Bolivian mainline road in accordance with the agreement made by Bolivian and Para- | guayan delegates to the peace conference. This development is unfortunate. It apparently illustrates the dangers which’! arise when governments take office upon | the basis of military demand. It also em- phasizes the vital importance of keeping the military authority subordinate to the } civil authority of all governments. } oe er { A MILLION DOLLARS UNCLAIMED wie The general idea is that people are! very selfish and the presumption is that | men and women keep up with their) money.
