The trend In general Industry for some years has been the ele vation of wages, and shorter hours of work. Labor has been "in the saddle," so to speak, and has beeh riding hnrd. But when labor, which term generally means manufacturing labor, gets more pay for less work the ob vious result is that the prices of the things made by labor in crease. Almost everything a farmer buys is processed or manufactur ed. In other words, the farmer is paying Increasingly higher prices for the things he buys with the cash he gets for the pro ducts he sells. That Would he reasonably satisfactory If, like the laboring man, his income was advanclhg in proportion. The la boring man pays more for what he buys but he Is earning more. The farmer pays higher prices for the things he buys but his earnings have not advanced. What is the political answer to this Inequity? To date It is a magic phrase "parity pay ments," or payments for some sort of soil conservation, or pay ments for not. growing certain crops. The Intent of such pay ments Is to holster up farm in come to meet higher prices so that the farmer Is thereby plac ed on nn equal footing with labor as the price elevator goes up. There Is this difference, how evermoney for payments to the farmers Is collected In taxes oi ls borrowed and added to the na tional debt. In either ease the farmer helps pay hack what he gets. All the while he Is also paying the Increases labor gets. He pHys on both ends. Meanwhile a federal price con trol bureau has been established. Suite obviously the control will be exercised over the prices of basic commodities. It apparent ly is not ii nt Id pnl cd that prices of manufactured articles will be controlled. They cannot be held down because the hour cost of la bor Is going up. At least this Is the picture as it appears today. The farmer who has been doled and "farm rellcfed" and "cheap moneyed" does not appear, in fact, to have been actually help ed. Generally speaking he Is still In debt, though the money Is cheaper, he Is still getting pay. ments of one soil or another but what he really wants, a good strung market with good prices for the products of his labor and land these are not yet In evi dence. Nevertheless, he is pay ing his share of the total bill. Caustie Commentary THE most caustic comment on the terrible loll from acci dents which a civilized society permits every day In the year comes from James It. Forgnn, Chicago Red Cross official. Great Britain's loss of life Is actually lower today, In the very face of the German bombings, than It was In eacc time, says Forgan. Ooes lliat seem impassible, when thousands are Ix-lng killed by bombs? Foran says It's true. Thousands have been trained In first Aid, accident prevention, nu trition, hyglerte and sanitation. A large proportion of automo biles have been irmuved from Ihe highways. Result: More eel out In months ol blitz bomb ing. It shows what could be done in the peaceful United States if safety and health measures could be made as effective here as war has forced them to become In England. Editorials on Newt (Continued from paga 1.) forces. They must have sailed around Africa. N London (on Sunday) Chur chill says: "The war may spread to Spain and Morrocco or to Turkey and Russia, but In or der to win this war Hitler must either conquer this island (Brit ain) or he must cut the ocean lines which Join us to the United States." He adds: "The vital batllc of the Atlan tic has entered a far more fav orable phase because of the U. S. decision to PATROL the waters of the western hemisphere." DATROLLING alone won't beat the Germans. If and when they start shooting at us SHOOT ING BACK will be required. No body will tell us so, but the de cision to shoot back has evi dently been reached In Washing ton. When we start shooting back, we'll be at war. I INDBERGH today resigns hi3 " commission as colonel in the U. S. air corps reserve. After be ing called a copperhead by his commander-in-chief, he couldn't very well do otherwise. A prediction: When war actually comes to us, Lindbergh will he found FIGHT ING while a lot of his clitics will still be talking in safe places.

Editor News-Review: There are as many sides to any question as there are people, and, as 1132,- 000,000 part of this great repub lic (note I do not say democracy), frankly admit that this ques tion of all-out-aid to Britain fair ly burns me up. Why not all- out-aid to America for a change? England still owes and will al ways owe us five billion dollars from the last world war. This amount in $10 bills laid end to end would go two times around the earth, and in the one-third under privileged class are many thousands of American families whose income for a year is only $350. To aid the British the presi dent promptly receives, for the mere asking, seven billion dol lars. That would buy a $50 bond for every man, woman and child in the U. S. and that is only the start. Since June 1 up to last month the United States had Mido contracts, for national (?) defense, of twelve billion, five hundred seventy-five million, eight hundred sixty thousand dollars and production will not be In full swing before the end of this fiscal year, and probably not before 1942. The curses on the unceasing barrage of propaganda. Even the News-Review (top front page, March 9) said: "Germany's War Ravages Have Sunk U. S. Farm Exports to the Lowest Level Since 1869, and Still Some People Insist U. S. Should remain Neutral in the War." Our total exports last year to all the coun tries south of the Rio Grande i combined amounted to only a trifle over two days' work here in America. How much of a war is that worth? The United States is commit ted (by whom?) and will go through to the finish, but I do not believe the average Ameri can citizen will ever be convinc ed that this country, producing all these death-dealing Instru ments in unheard of quantities for no one knows how long, will not sooner or later be compelled to help use them not alone for national defense but for the British, Greeks, Chinese and any other country the president de cides to help. Some say that our Big Uncle is committing suicide but it looks to me like the old gent is being taken on a one-way ride. American first, always and only! W. L. McABOY. SEES LOTS OF TRUTH IN COMMENT ON CONVOY PLAN CAMAS VALLEY, Ore., April 20. Editor News-Review: I read in last night's News-Review where Senator Norris had made a remark that has lots of truth in it and lots more than appears Ti,o mmm-k ih:,i 11,0 posed embargo on convoying our smps through the war zone would bring joy to Hitler's heart. Maybe it would, but toy never I won nor lost a battle. But there , is plenty more to this. It would doubtless bring joy to millions of parents, mothers and wives, who might be prevented by this restriction of having their sons and husbands slain on foreign soil in trying to bring to pass a quixotic Ideology which can never he attained in this world as long ,is mankind inhab its it. Besides, as every thinking per r LUXURY ABS0RBENCY DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS The young lawyer who came to Jesus asked a direct ques tion of the Master: "What shall I do to inherit eternal life," In a manner which will bo understood by the lawyer. What docs the law say about It? Immediately comes the cor rect answer: "Love the Lord thy God with ail thy heart, and thy neighbor as thyself." This answer involves two great Christian principles. First, man's duty Godward, a right attitude toward God: love Him with the heart. A strong de sire: love Him with all the soui, that which feels. Love Him with the intellect, that which reflects; love Him with your strength, the expression of the will. Let us not forget that the first rule of Christian conduct is a right attitude to ward God. The second great principle involved is man's Christian duty manward. Jesus commended the Samaritan who rendered such service as he could to the man who had fallen among thieves. We serve Christ best when we serve His needy world. There Is enough medicine for all the sick; enough food for all the hun gry, enough money to help all who need help If properly dis tributed. A right attitude to ward God and man will bring us into a life of useful service. Thus we find the rule for Christian living is a common sense rule. Amen. son must realize, a world war will bring on worse poverty and other evils than this world has known since the beginning of history. Ponder it well, friends, and "look down that lonesome road before you trabbels on" to de struction. Yours for America first. A. H. KROGEL.
