WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Critics Attack New Farm Program As Urging Unprecedented Controls; Extension Seen for Marshall Plan I EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinion, are expreiud In ttuu ealnmn. h— . 1 Felten Newspaper Union’, new, analy,u and not Bueuiarily us Wi Mwipaper?) FARM PROGRAM: Pros & Cons President Truman’s sweeping new farm program met with mixed response on Capitol Hill. Critics claimed it would carry the nation closer to socialism and would em power the government with un precendented farm controls and powers. PROPONENTS of the measure contended that consumers would be benefited because retail food prices would be allowed to seek their own level. No matter which school of thought was correct, it was inescapable that the program would use taxpayers’ dollars to guarantee farmers an in come equal to that of a recent 10- year period. Some opposition to the plan termed it as one that might be so expensive that it would push the U. S. treasury toward bankruptcy and would thoroughly regiment the farmer. CHARLES F. BRANNAN, secre tary of agriculture, conceded that "imponderables” such as weather and improved farm techniques made it impossible now to esti mate the cost of the program. He said of the program that it probably would mean a heavy drain on consumers’ dollars. He added that the government plans soon to undertake a costly new program to keep up the price of pork. If this program is ap proved, Brannan said, farmers would sell their pork for whatever it would bring. The government meaning the public—then would pay the farmer the difference be tween the support price and the price the farmer actually received. REPRESENTATIVE Anderson (R., Minn.) was not impressed. He estimated the total government out lay under the program might run as high as 10 billion dollars a year. When it is remembered the gov ernment has no money except that which it gets from the people in taxes, objective observers were wondering who, if anyone, could benefit by the program, since farmer and consumer alike would be paying out added funds to fi nance it. OLD AGE: No Elixir Impending old age affects many people in many ways. But to all who stand on its threshold, it is a topic of prime consideration. Of late, science, medicine and the psychiatrists all have been con cerned with the subject and appar ently little loath to be heard upon it. LATEST to ponder the problem of how one should approach old age and what may be expected in this period of life was a conference of 800 physicians from all over the nation. These physicians were all agreed that one of the biggest problems facing the medical profession in the problems of old age is making those added years healthy, happy and useful. Throughout the conference the warning was sounded again and again that something must be done to give men and women not only long life, but a healthy, happy and useful old age. THE SIMPLE and sad fact is that man’s life has been extended beyond his present capacity to en joy it as a useful citizen, the medi cal authorities agreed. For in pro longing life, science also prolonged suffering and misery — all the chronic illnesses and disabilities which plague mankind in the declin ing years. Dr. Chauncey Leake, of the Uni versity of Texas, said that young people as early as in high school should be taught how to grow old— that is, how to cultivate hobbies and intellectual curiosity and how to develop a systematic regimen for physical and mental hygiene. He declared the country should have an “old-age program” similar to the child-care program. HE ALSO URGED increased re search on drugs which may help the aged by preventing the dis orders to which old people are sub ject. But, coming out by the same door wherein he went, he warned that all hope for an "elixir of life” mpst be dismissed—that there is no "miracle drug" to restore youth to the aged. Wherein he delivered himself of a truism well known even as Ponce de Leon was searching for the foun tain of eternal youth. "CORNY" PROPOSAL British Shudder at Hominy Grits Plan It was doubtful if the majority of Americans would work up any vast regret at the plight of Englishmen who faced the horrible possibility of having to eat American-provided hominy grits. For, most Americans would real tee that there are thousands of needy poor right here tn the South in our own United States to whom hominy trite is a staple item of THE HARLEM NEWS. HARLEM. MONTANA Happy Birthday! In the spring when eare and and strife are most easily for gotten and put aside, the expres sion here of Pandora, Phila delphia zoo’s precocious chimpanzee seems to epitomize the carefree abandon of spring. But Pandora is happy for another reason — she’s clebrating her second birthday on her gift bi cycle, and is she having fun! MARSHALL PLAN: To Se Continued Europe appeared certain of con tinued receipt of Marshal] plan aid for another 15 months. An enthusiastic house of repre sentatives, shouting down or beat ing off every attempt to reduce the proposed appropriation figure, ap proved the gift bill by a vote of 354 to 18. EVERY AMENDMENT which would have reduced the fund, or delayed action in order to study Europe’s real needs, was brushed off by the majority. The bill, as approved by the house, was for 200 million dollars less than the bill which was voted by the senate. The upper chamber passed a measure appropriating 5.58 billion dollars. The house bill called for 5.38 billion. The house measure would author ize continued U. S. aid until July 1, 1950, subject to possible later cuts by the senate and house ap propriations committees. It pro vided 272 million dollars to encour age American private business to invest in recovery projects abroad. Such investments would be guar anteed against loss by confiscation of property overseas. FINAL VOTE on the house bill came after Majority Leader John W. McCormack (D., Mass.) pleaded against a GOP-led economy drive with a warning that the “world is looking either to Washington or the Kremlin.” On the passage vote, 125 Repub licans joined 229 Democrats in favor of the bill. Rep. John M. Vorys (R., Ohio) backed an amendment to cut oft 380 million dollars from the ap propriations, which was defeated. Vorys, saying he favored the Mar shall plan and the North Atlantic pact, nevertheless warned that “we have to keep strong here at home ... if we are to help out abroad.” Vorys offered an amendment of his own to term what he called the “give-away” of American billions. It, too, was defeated. SACRIFICE: Love of Mate If the name of vanity truly is “woman” then the sacrifice made by a Qhicago woman for her hus band must rank among the “no greater love” examples which are contained in the record. MRS. JOAN BIERDZ, 20, had a husband who was striken with can cer. This disease had ravaged his face to a point where an adult told him that he “looked like the villian of Frankenstein.” Mr. Bierdz was a patient in the Bronx, N.Y., veter ans’ hospital. He had written his wife that his face “caused com ment” when he attended a movie, and that he would never go out again. After receiving the letter from her 26-year-old husband, Mrs. Bierdz slashed both her arms. She was arraigned in a Chicago court on a charge of disorderly conduct. SHE TOLD the judge: “I did it because I wanted people to look at me, instead of him ... my hus band has been told by VA doctors he can live only a year at most." diet, and who would face actual want without them. The situation was that congress might require IS per cent of ell corn shipped under the European recovery plan to take the form of cornmeal or hominy grits. England was reported aghast at the report. The explosive reaction was: “Now the yanks expect us to eat the ruddy stuff.*' DEFENSE: Excesses Seen What could the people believe about America’s defense needs? Were the taxpayers being taken foi a “ride” by a cynical, contemptu ous coterie of military brass hats who were using world tension to set up an artificial basis for huge grabs from appropriation funds? THOSE APPEARED to be fail questions—and here’s why: Robert Patterson, former secre tary of war said: “It is no exag geration to say that the cost in duplication, competition and dis jointed effort directly traceable tc the two-headed (army-navy) sys tem ran into billions and billions. Much of the public debt is due tc that division of authority and re sponsibility between the war de partment and the navy depart ment.” But what has that to do with de fense appropriations? Herbert Hoover — appointed to head up a survey committee to streamline government and cut costs—said that the army, navy and air force are padding their money requests to congress by millions of dollars. He also accused them of "start ling” waste and extravagance. THE FORMER PRESIDENT, ap pearing before the senate armed forces committee, declared: “Ap plications in the military budget for hundreds of millions of dollars to retool industry should be exam ined with the greatest skepticism.” Hoover told the committee that what the department of national defense needs is a good bookkeep ing system. “At the present time,” he said, "nobody can tell the cost of any particular function in the armed services.” In submitting a report, Hoover observed that the federal govern ment now has about 27 billion dol lars worth of personal property, and said: “We might be able to live on our tat for awhile if we had it cata logued and knew where it was.” ALLIANCE: Things Humming The administration was really moving on the north atlantic de fense alliance. President Truman had urged the senate to take early action on the treaty in order to help western Europe ward off “brutality and aggression” by pledging U. S. par ticipation in the pact. SUCH ACTION, he said, “would be a long step on the road to peace.” Thus, as he began his fifth year as President of the United States. Harry Truman pointed up anew his conviction that a lasting world peace is an obtainable goal. “This treaty,” he said, “makes clear the determination of the peo ple of the United States and of our neighbors in the North Atlantic community to do their utmost to maintain peace with justice and to take such action as they may deem necessary if the peace is broken.” WALLGREN: He's Willing Like the weak, but insistent jang ling of a run-down alarm on a bed side clock, Mon C. Wallgren was still talking about what might have been. A VISITOR to the White House— where he did not talk with Mr. Truman, the former Washington governor and close friend of the President, said he is “still avail able” for the chairmanship of the National Securities Resources Board. Wallgren’s nomination to that post by President Truman was tabled by a senate committee.

Bing headed up a coast-to-coast radio program "welcome back, baseball.’* PARKING: Now Automatic There appeared some hope for relief in the nation’s parking di lemma. In Boston, William A. Braun had invented an automatic parking device where a customer’s car could be parked in a mechani cal storage garage. Boston city offi cials were showing interest in the proposition. Braun said at such a garage human hands would not touch the automobiles. ; a •~« It K VJ N If Putting Gold to Work T COULD NOT, if I wished, write * of the monetary situation in this country in the terms of an econo mist, which I am not. But I do know some of the fundamentals and I like to think I have enough “horse sense” to understand them. We have been, and are, fearful of an uncontrolled inflation, or a severe depression and we have a certain degree of inflation now. Inflation can produce depression, with printing press money as the fundamental cause of both. Our printing press money, all the cur rency we have aside from a lim ited amount of silver certificates, has no tangible value. The foun dation, if any, on which it is is sued is a liability, not an asset. It is guaranteed by nothing less than our national indebtedness. We can not turn it into the national treas ury. and receive for it anything ex cept other money of the same kind and of no tangible value, either. If the printing presses con tinue to turn out an ever-in creasing volume of such money it will inevitably lead to what Germany and other European countries experienced follow ing the close of World War I and what we get will be oc casioned by the same causes— too much worthless money. The money of Germany, at that time, had nothing back of it re sembling a stable, tangible value, and for which their paper marks could be exchanged. Because of that condition their money became valueless for anything except for paying debts. Those who were forced to accept those printing press marks in payment of a debt could buy nothing with it, for it had no purchasing power, it had no tangible value. In Germany such valueless currency produced uncontrolled inflation. The after math of that inflation was depres sion, and the rise of Hitler. When the government needs mon ey, or credit, it can, and does, force the banks to buy government bonds. With these bonds—a gov ernment indebtedness—as security the banks can and do, issue bank notes. Such bank notes represent quite the largest part of our na tional currency. It is the same as printing press money. By the simple expedient of buying bonds as they are of fered—by paying par for them, but paying for them with more and more printing press money—the government has maintained the price of Its bonds. As in Germany, the printing press currency will pay debts, but it will not buy a dol lar’s worth of commodities for one dollar of printing press cur rency! It Is a simple method of temporarily maintaining a par price for government bonds, but it cannot be con tinued indefinitely, as it could not be in Germany and other European countries. In 1932 congress enacted the legislation that started us on the road laid with printing press mon ey. That road took us off. the gold standard; it repudiated our prom ise to pay off our indebtedness in good money; it repudiated our promise to redeem our outstanding currency in gold on demand; it opened the doors for inflation. That same legislation changed the price of gold from $23 an bunce to $32, and to maintain that price we agreed to buy all the gold of fered at that price. As a result, we have two-thirds of all the mon etary gold of the world stored in government vaults, but not working. To close the doors on infla tion, we should put that gold back on the Job; we should get back on a gold basis for our currency, not at the old price of $23 an ounce, but at a price somewhere from $35 to S4O an ounce. That would stabilise prices at about what they now are; it would maintain our wage scales at about their pres ent price; we eould pay off our government indebtedness on approximately the, same basis as the debt was con tracted. Most important of all, our re turn to the gold standard would stop the ceaseless flow of printing press money, and it would stop the wild spending spree in which congress has indulged. That is what we need most and what we need first. • • • Joe Doak te a civil service em ployee of the government, the head of a small department in one of the many bureaus. He wanted a raise. The only way he could get one was to increase the number of employees in his small depart ment. He had nothing for them to do, but he got the raise he wanted by adding 10 clerks to the payroll. In the government service you get more for inefficiency and waste than for efficiency and saving. That condition te created by a law that congress could change if it would.
