Farm Aid In
! Smashing Of
Hitler Urged
Allied Nations Require
U. S. Material, Not Men,
Wickard Tells Grangers
WORCESTER. Mass., Nov. 13
.f APISecretary of Agriculture
Wickard declared today that the
"adequate defense of America
means nothinn less than the de
feat of Hitler."
Therefore, he told the nation's
farmers, they must run the risks
of overproduction In the Interests
of national defense.
The cahlnet member also serv
ed notice that the United Stales
was ready to show Its "force" In
both oceans, If necessary, should
the country's Interests be men
aced. In an address prepared for the
75th anniversary meeting of the
national erance, Wickard said
that Hitler "can be defeated only
by n superior force of materials
and men. The men are tnere to
day, In Russia, in China, In Enu
land. Our greatest need is to
get materials to these men and
get them there fast enough. If
our production is "too little and
too late' it may be too late for
us to hope for freedom in our
generation.
The United Slates, he went on,
desires peace "but not at the
price of slavery."
Farm Problem Unsolved
Grange leaders, asserting that
Improved prices had not solved
the farm problem, called lor leg
lslutlon which would offer farm
ors "something better and more
respectable than government
gratuities and subsidies.
Louis J. Taher, master, told the
convention, that when the war
ends "agriculture will face great
er losses than those following the
last war unless In the meantime
wo take steps to correct some of
the basic causes affecting agricul
tural Income."
"Today, prices of most farm
commodities are approaching
parity, but this is due to war con
ditions, i Tills Increase In farm
prices must not give us n false
sense of security," he said.
Taher suggested a "two-price"
syslom under which farmers
would be free to produce abun
dantly and sell to the domestic
mnrket at "parity-protected" pric
es and abroad at competitive
world prices.
U. S. Food Pours Into Britain
But Still Short of Needs
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13
(API Some '.'50,000 tons of
American food are reaching Eng
land each month now. but even
so Secretary Agriculture Wick
ard said today that an average
American could consume an Eng
lishman's weekly ration of fresh
meat, bacon, ham. eggs and
cheese at one meal "without feel
ing he's overeaten.'' .
Agriculture department of
ficials said that English house
wives can buy all the flour they
need and that England was pro
ducing all I he potatoes and most
of the vegetables required, hut
they addeil "It was this country's
job to produce the meal, eggs, and
dairy products required for ship
ment abroad under a SI .000.000,
000 fund ear-marked for food un
der the r-.'cnnd lease-lend fund.
While officials here discussed
what they said were "mistaken"
Ideas in this countrv concerning
British food supplies. Wickard
told a national grange session at
Worcester. Mass., that in spite of
American shipments the "lirilish
still are on very strict rations of
most vital foods."
Department officials who have
been In England in recent months
listed these diet limits for an in
dividual: cheese, 3 ounces a week:
meal, 7 ounces a week: bacon and
bam. l ounces a week; eggs. 2 a
month when available.
They explained that English
people formerly obtained a large
part of these supplies from Hol
land and Denmark, sources now
cut off hv German conquests.
England still gets meat from Ar
gentina and Canada was said lo
lie supplying large amounts of
meat and dairy products.

John J. Moran, president of the
Independent Federation of Long
Lines Telephone Workers, said
'the decision to call a walkout of
15,000 workers followed a meet
ing with the U. S. conciliation ser
vice and representatives of the
American Telephone and Tele
graph company to discuss the.
union's demands for a 4 per cent
wage boost and narrowing of geo

Roosevelt Calls Parley
White house action of some
sort appeared certain in the soft
coal dispute. Involving the CIO
United Mine Workers' demand
for a union shop in the captive
coal pits operated by the steel
companies. President Roosevelt
invited I'MW president John L.
Lewis, CIO chief Philip Murray,
UMW secretary-treasurer Thom
as Kennedy, and the heads of
three large steel companies to
confer with him tomorrow.
Murray and Kennedy resigned
Tuesday from the defense media
tion hoard, in protest to that
group's H-to-2 recommendation
against the UMW's demand for
the union shop In captive mines.
There was no Indication of
what action Mr. Roosevelt had In
mind, hut the conference was
called for the very day that Lew
is summoned the UMW policy
committee to a special meeting,
presumably for a decision on
union action In view of the media
tion hoard recommendation.
The UMW so far has shown
no sign of giving up lis demand
for a union shop clause in the cap
tive mines a provision which
would renuire every miner to
join the union after a probation-
uy period of employment.

tank transmissions.
A meeting of MOO CfO members

ot the Mack Independent Em
ployes association and the CIO
union, conducted a spontaneous
walkout.
The CIO said it would seek a
15 cent hourly wage increase ov-
I lu present undisclosed scale.
Edward Gray, UAW interna
tiopal representative, said the
strike vole was In protest against
the company s sponsorhip ol the
Independent unil, winner of a
recent national labor relations
board election al the plant, and
against a delay In granting pay

250,1100 truck drivers in 11 mid

scenes in order to recruit as
many votes as possible for neu

gerously close."
While saying that "we have
enough votes," Speaker Ravburn
declined to estimate specifically
what the margin would be.
House Tension Mounts.
Despite disaffeclions from nd
ministration ranks, the house
heard a bi-partisan appeal today
for revision of the neutrality act,
with representative Woodrum
(D Va.) asserting that "we are
silting on a keg of dynamite and
yet we quibble."
Amid mounting tension ns the
voting hour approached, Speaker
Ravburn predicted the chamber
would give a majority to the senate-approved
measure permitting
American merchant vessels to
carry arms and sail anywhere in
Ihe world.
Woodrum. who left a hospital
bed to attend today's momentous
session, referred pointedly to
southern democrats who announc
ed yesterday Ihey would oppose
Ihe legislation because the ad
ministration had failed to take
"slrong action" to curb defense
strikes. Such a viewpoint, Wood
rum declared, represented a desire
lo "spank" President Roosevelt
for something he had or had not
done.
The Virginian asserted that de
feat of the legislation would make
the nation's highest leaders
"heavy-hearted," and added that
it would be (he occasion for "ex-
Ira" editions or ucrnn papers.
Opponents Also Heard.
Two more republicans who vot
ed for the arming of American
merchant ships took the floor and
announced they would vote
against the changes made In that
measure by the senate to allow
the ships to enter belligerent
ports. They were the veteran
Representative Treadway (R.,
Mass.) and Representative Can
field (R., N. J.)
Asserting passage of the broad
ened measure would give the
"green light" to all-out war, Can
field said that when he served in
the World war ,a favorite expres
sion of the soldiers was "don't
kid the troops."
"I say to vou," he added, speak
ing directly to the democratic
membership, "don't kid America."
