THURSDAY, MARCH IS, 1941 • W ashington Washington,— A bargain with Great Britain, whereby that na tion would increase purchases of surplus American farm products as partial compensation for the United States giving full support to the British war program, is be ing urged by congressmen from rural areas. Farm groups, which are back ing this proposal, point out that exports of farm products have fallen off alarmingly and that the lend-lease bill offers an opportun ity to make a deal to regain the lost British market. The farm representatives are also complaining that great Brit- SANDY POST ain is buying farm products from other countries—cotton from Bra zil and tobacco from Turkey—but is confining its purchases here to munitions. Last year, government experts estimate, U. S. exports of cotton fell off 75 per cent, of wheat ov er 50 per cent, and that the de crease in exports of tobacco, I fruit and other products were ■ equally drastic. Surplus crops i have therefore become a more serious problem than ever. Question Turns to Next Step When all doubt ended last week as to passage of the lend-lease bill, discussions here turned to what will happen next. Those discussions revolve around the questions of how long we can keep out of actual war, what new measures will be taken to speed up production of planes and oth er needed equipment and what methods will be used to meet the huge expense that this program will incur. It is feared that the answers to these problems will involve more PAGE THREE Commotion In the Rear A A. A, A A A A.

The revenue and defense pro duction programs, however, are more entirely domestic situations —and the Republicans have a strong club to back up their opin ions on these measures—namely, the business leaders who are call ed upon to produce the imple ments of war. On the other hand’,- the administration feels it is nec essary to give labor the best break po3jible. The administration may feel that it Is playing ball with big business by plac'ng business lea ders in many key positions in the defense program, but it Is evident that many business men don't agree.

The Extension Service, Agricultural Adjustment Administration, Surplus Market ing Administration, Farm Secur ity Administration, and the coun ty court are cooperating in this program. Applications may be made at either the County Ag ent's Office, the AAA office, or Farm Security office. The closing date for making application In Clackamas county has been set for April 1. All rural people in Clackamas county who live outside of Ore gon City are eligible to make ap plication and then later make from one to three mattresses from surplus cotton shipped from the south. The only expense to the individual will be a minimum cost of seventy-five cents per mattress to cover Incidental ex penses. Miss Irene Leach, home demonstration agent, will have direct charge of the program in Clackamas County. The mattresses will be made in centers set up over the county and it will take from four to six people to make a mattress in one day. The making of the mattress es will be a cooperative affair, each one helping the other. People who are eligible fall in to three different groups. A farm family who has a net Income of $500 or less per year may quali fy. A part-time farm family may qualify if at least half of the In come is from the farm and the net Income Is not over $500. A non-farm family may quali fy if their gross income is $500 or less. In each of the three dif ferent groups $50 may be added to the Income for each member over four In the family.

The whole com munity greatly regrets their leaving as they have been h- re for 10 years and are much loved by everyone. Rough Road Ahead It is expected that, unless some super-plan is thought up to make peace between the administration, business and labor, the defense program is going to travel a rough road. Unfounded reports that Wendell Willkie might head the American Federation of La bor is an example of the type of move which might be taken to Improve the situation.
