Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers “Consistency”’ Country Gent for Government Aid in Europe Only DITOR Nonpartisan Lead- er:. In the February 5 issue of the Country Gentleman (which a banker had sent to me so that I would be wean- ed away from the terrible Nonparti- san league) Freéman Tilden writes of the use of the tractor in Europe and says: 4 . “In nearly every western European country the governments are subsidiz- ing the farmers, mainly to the end of helping them buy tractors and other up-to-date agricultural machinery. In Ireland * * * there has been for years a system of loans to small farm- ers for the purchase of agricultural implements. But toward the end of 1918 orders were issued for the pur- chase of such machinery to the amount of half a million dollars, which could be paid for in installments in a year or 15 months. “In Belgium grants are made to the farmers up to one-fifth of the pur- chase price of fhrm machinery of im- proved sort. In Italy there are 73 depots where the government main- tains tractors which are lent to farm- ers.” And so on. The Country Gent seems to be very much in favor of this-state aid for the farmers of Europe, so that they can produce their own crops and undersell the United States. But of course when the Nonpartisan league proposes pub- lic aid in the form of cheap money for farmers of the United States, to ena- ble them to buy tractors and other up- to-date equipment, that is pure bol- shevism, socialism, pro-Germanism and free love. Who is the Country Gent standing for, anyway, the interests of the Eu- ropean farmer or the American farm- er? W. R. A. Canby, Minn. AGAINST MILITARISM Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have written the following letter to the con- gressman from my district. Why shouldn’t other Leaguers do likewise ? _T. N. PRESTEGAARD. Gatzke, Minn. Hon. Halvor Steenerson, Washing- ton, D. C. Dear Sir: As a citizen and taxpayer in the district you rep- resent I take the privilege to ask you to vote and work against com- pulsory military training. The tax .burden is heavy enough now for the common people and I do not think the people of this country want com- pulsory military training. Our boys proved in the last world war, as well as in the Spanish war, to be the best soldiers without compulsory training. It also seems to me a disgrace to so- " called civilized and Christian nations to train their younger generation to kill. Congressman Baer’s bill against. gambling in foodstuff, I think, is a good bill to vote for. It is my opinion that it makes it egsier for a represen- tative to work for or-against a meas- ure when he can show that the people he represents demand it so. That is why I write. T. N. PRESTEGAARD. FROM .TEXAS Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Please find inclosed $1 for which send me the Nonpartisan Leader. I haven’t .re- ceived a copy for four or six weeks and I feel lost without it. The whole South is blown up. The cotton is bringing one-fourth of what it costs to produce it. P. J. BARKER. Cooper, Texas.
