Parity Muddle
Obviously the farm bloc doesn't want farm
prices held down and up to now the farm
bloc has had its way on this farm price control
legislation. That's the situation j logic and jus
tice have nothing, to do with it.
Yet if one is a stickler for logic, one must
concede the farm bloc is justified in asking that
farm wages be included in the complicated
computation of parity. They should have been
included in the first place but the farm bloc
was opposed then because farm wages were low.
The president, never a stickler - for logic,
objects that this formula would defeat his pur
pose. Let's say he is right about thatconsid
ering the other features of - the bill and the
facts about present prices. Some of them are
far above parity; 'and at his suggestion they
are due to be. frozen where they are, not re
duced to parity.
Currently there is hope for a compromise
solution and one may only pray that hope may
be realized- Not so much for the sake of any
formula as for the sake of a legislative rather
than administrative, contrary-to-law farm
control such as the president threatened in his
pistol-to-congress'-head address. That, we
agree with a recent Safety Valve writer, would
be a calamity.
The proposed compromise would avoid
changing the parity formula but permit the
president to make other adjustments in the
Interest of real equity and that goes even
farther in the direction of illogic.
How, then, may logic and the facts and the
need to avert inflation be reconciled? To our
mind, by applying even more logic. If a parity
formula in which farm wages are included rep
resents strict justice, no more and no less why
permit any farm prices above parity? Cut down
those now above parity.
There is another benefit to be gained by get
ting this thing settled, no matter how. It is the
retail price of each farm commodity that is to
be controlled. Right J now there is too much
spread between prices paid to the farmer and
prices paid by the consumer. But the latter
cannot' be controlled until the farmer's price
Is 110 per cent of parity. At that point or at
100 per cent under the proposed legislation
OPA can begin- to control consumers' prices.
. There is some hope perhaps thin that when
this happens the spread may be reduced so the
farmer will get a fair price, yet the retail costs
of foods will go no higher.
Sweet News
You don't hear much about sugar rationing
any more. It just goes to show how quickly peo- ;
pie adjust themselves to restrictions congress
in its hesitation to impose others might take
note of this. It's true that sugar rations have :
been increased and some housewives are won
dering whether the whole thing wasn't a scheme
to sell more' sugar. But at least we've gotten
used to the rationing routine.
Recent "sweet news' is to the effect that by
New-Year's day there will be a sufficient supply
of sugar in continental United States for the '
full year ahead. More sugar than first expected
is coming from Hawaii, Cuba and Puerto Rico .
but a big share of credit for licking the short
age belongs to the west's sugar beet industry
and the industry alone, not the department of
agriculture. Acreage -quotas were lifted but ;
the department didn't include sugar beets in :
the first "food ior victory" campaign, for rea
sons you might guess. The sugar beet growers
on their own motion and out of their ' own
foresight increased plantings by one-third and
raised their production from 1,500,000 to 2,
000,000 tons. ' - .
Scrap Drive

(By Associated Press)
One of the most vital campaigns to carry Ameri
can armies to victory is beginning.
It is a campaign In which every. American from The 'Inside Story
tots to grandparents can and will participate. J
It is the all-out drive to collect scrap. American
steel mills are roaring, but they could roll out
millions of tons more, if they had more scrap.
For want of steel, ship contracts have had to be
cancelled, production of armament is below what
It might be, victory is farther away, lives jeopard
ized. . ' '. ' . ;

Hunka Tin
Even if there is no acceptable new war song,
some fair verse in support of home front activi
ties has been produced. The parody on Kipling
entitled "Hunka Tin"' which we quote below,
was recited by "Falstaf f ' recently on the Fred
Allen radio program in support of the salvage
campaign:
You may talk of tin and leer
'j As you pour your can of beer - '
Or you empty out your can of pork and beans .
' You may chortle loud at famine
As you purge a tin of salmon
Or roll the cover back on. your sardines
Yes. There used to be a day
When all tin we'd throw away
Cans were tied oh dogs to raise a din
Couples newly married.
With old tin pans were harried
We had no use for any Hunka Tin
It was Tin, Tin, Tin.
-Out with it! Thow it in the bin.
There never was a man '
Who saved his old tin can '
Or who had respect for any, Hunka Tint
But today we sense a change , s
We see a world that's-strange -
' We find that tin's more precious now than gold
' Tin will help to build a plane .
To protect a shipping lane
Tin will help to stop a ruthless power cold
Yes. Your little tuna can
Might drop things on Japan
Your" shaving tube may end up in Berlin
- The can that held tomaters
May be tied to those dictators .
Today, your Country needs your Hunka Tin
Yes, it's Tin, Tin, Tin
Clean it, save it, send it in
You can help your Uncle Sam
- Start the Axis on the lam
If youH save up every, little," Hunka Tin!
Remember Pearl Harbor?
Of course, everyone remembers Pearl Har
bor. There were two things to remember; the
treachery of the enemy's attack before war had
been declared, and our own forces lack of
alertness. A" ' : .
In the Solomons and elsewhere our forces
ere now have remembered Pearl Harbor and
struck back, in part avenging the betrayal; for
that matter we areconvinced that in number
of enemy fatalities we have more than over
come the head start the enemy gained in that
sneak attack. ' .- V -
As for alertness, Midway was a typical ex
ample of the thoroughness with which the lesson
had been learned Frequently, our attacking
forcer have scored surprise comparable to that
first one of which we were victims.
But just as a test, we have asked several per
sons to name the general and the admiral who
were in command on Oahu and at Pearl Harbor
last December 7, and who were charged by the
investigating board with responsibility for the
negligence and "most of those quizzed have
been unable to recall the names, while the
others had to rack their brains before coming
up with the answers. Do you remember them?
Other phases of the war have in the interim
to filled our minds that temporarily, and no
doubt to their comfort, these men are forgotten.
Dut not permanently. Their names will be a
part of this war's history. When it is written,
there will be fairer appraisal of their culpabili
ty. That they are temporarily forgotten, illus
trates the manner in which history's highlights
become submerged in times of stress immedi
ately after their occurrence, only to stand forth
rain when the clouds blow away
America's newspapers are acting as the spear
head of the Intensive drive. It Is a drive to collect
everything you, Mr. and Mrs. America, can give
up that is made of needed material ash trays,
golf clubs, bed springs, skates, yes and big things
like unused furnace boilers, radiators and wash
ing machines. ,
Everything you can spare, even if it hurts.
The steel mills, with facilities to produce 90 -million
tons of steel, this year will produce only
about 85 million tons. The main reason for that
inability to produce to the limit is shortage of
scrap. x . '--f-'s
Alarmed that output might fall even lower,
Donald VL Nelson, war production board chief,
asked the newspapers to take the lead "in their
communities to stimulate collections - which have
been lagging. .
The nationwide scrap gathering campaign under
government direction has been going on for months
and will continue till the war's end. The concen
. trated help to be given by the newspapers begins
in some - sections tomorrow. Officially it starts
September 28 and ends Odtober 17. .
Many newspapers since Pearl Harbor have
spurred their communities to greater salvage ac
tivity. But this wmjkhe first time that news
papers from toast to coast have concentrated
on the same effort at the same time. , '
The mills, which until the war's start normally
had a- six weeks' supply of scrap on hand at all
times, now barely have two weeks supply. They
are chewing up scrap at the rate of 4 million tons
a month, the greatest consumption In history.
- They want 17 million tons of it in the three -months
between now and January 1. Once snow
falls, scrap collections dwindle.
American mills, producing tools of war for the
United States and its allies, have an output one
third greater than all the steel mills of the axis
nations combined. " " '
But this country's armament production will not
reach its peak till January 1, a iact which makes
a great scrap pile by the end of this year more
vital than ever.
There is a vast reservoir of scrap lying Idle now
in homes, on farms, in office buildings and In in
dustrial plants.:
Even those homeowners, shop foremen and farm-"
. ers believe they already have cleaned out their
premises of scrap are being asked to take a "sec
ond look" because experience has shown another
once-over often yields precious metal.
The newspapers' methods of needling and prod
ding their communities into greater action will
vary from city to city and state to state.
Some, individual jpapers or newspaper groups
will offer thousands of dollars in-war bonds as
prizes for the greatest collections, the awards to
be given service or charitable organizations.
The news columns will tell the tale of results
with figures, pictures and stories. Some papers
will rally business men, housewives, children, truck
owners) truck drivers, police, county farm agents,
fraternal organizations, women's groups and farm
ers into service as spotters or collectors or Deduc
es of scrap. Even army trucks will help where they
can in picking up metal junk. ; - t
The" newspapers, with their facilities for reach-,
lng into every American home, will operate with
the aid of the WPB, which has been conducting
the national salvage campaign through its con
servation division. -
That division has created 12,000 state and city
and rural salvage committees with 130,000 mem
ber and 421 industrial committees with 6,000 ex
ecutives, all operating on a volunteer basis.
These are me main sections of the conservation
division, illustrating the government's realization
that keeping scrap flowing to the mills means
keeping life blood pouring into the war program:
A general salvage section, which gathers scrap
from homes and farms; an auto graveyard "section,
which keeps -junked automobiles moving to the
mi"; be special projects section which concen
trates on such scrap as old street car rails and
abandoned bridges; and the industrial section,
. which gathers scrap from plants and factories.
The special projects section often encounters
great difficulty In moving such scrap as abandoned
' rails that have to be dug up out of streets, the
cost of doing the Job frequently more than they
are worth In money. - .
But because money is a secondary consideration
where obtaining s c r a p is concerned, a special
agency. War Materials Inc, has been created to
defray the expenses of the special projects sec
tion. It has a capital of $500,000,000 and is a sub
sidiary of the Metals Keserve corporation, another
government unit

Today's Garden
By ULLDS L MADSEN
C W. A. reports that she had
seen a cactus garden near Port
land, growing outside'and seem
ingly in the open ground. Says
she wants to know if the cacti
will grow this way as she has
a number of the plants which she
, would like to set out.--
Answer:" There are a number
of species which will stand our
winters here as far as cold is
concerned but the rain is apt to
get them, most cacti will soon
decay if exposed to too much
water.
The garden she saw was like
. ly one In which the pots were
set. in the soiL I have seen a
number of cactus - gardens ar
' ranged In this manner, and even
then the soil about the pots must
be of a 'well-drained sort. But
. when the rains, begin, the pots
should be taken from-the gar
den and stored in some place
where they will k not freeze or
- be subjected to too much mosture
for the winter season.
The prickly pear (opuntla) is
the hardiest of the cacti and will
do well out-of-doors if it does
not have to stand In water. If the
cacti are planted on a raised por
tion of the garden that is very
well drained, and If a cover is
placed over them In the winter
-to keep off , excessive moisture,
they may come through the win
ter. But it Is the safer plan to
bring them In out of the rain in

when they seemed obstacles to
his ambition. Like the personal
bearing of Attila, as historians
have recorded it, the bearing of
Adolf is vain to mania. And,
like the cruel Tatar, it Is this de
sign to rule all the world,
a V "e
"And ' again like Attila the
Hun, the Hun we call Hitler be
lieves in ' soothsayers and omens,
and consulted them on the eve
of the battle of Chalons, one of
the decisive battles of all his
tory. The soothsayers fcrctold
defeat for. him, but AttOi was
committed to the corifUct, and he.
is said- to have' concealed hur
alarm, and to have ridden among
his men reminding them : of
their valor and conquests, prom
ising that victory would be re
warded, and assuring them of
their joy, if they fell, in dying
' for him. Thus Attila made his
Huns impatient for battle. How
'like Adolf, exhorting his armies.
But When the battle .was joined
and had been fought to its con

on the fieldthe . Romans and
Goths were the victors, and At

parallel yet to be reached, in
the annals of Adolf the Hun, and
the. final parallel, too, of . a
shameful death but we shall
have confidence In the justice of
providence. How alike the two
stories are, thus far in the story
of Hitter. I
"Attila's crown for Hitter, from
his many adrdrers? Well, why
not, if the thing can be found?
We who hate him, with an un

hatred, haven't the slightest ob
jection. Let him wear it, make
him wear It, In the hour when
he steps to the scaffold, as the
last of his infamous line.'

Chapter SS (Con tinned)
For five days he walked about
Selchester alone. He visited the
cathedral, ' sat for hours in the
close under the trees, spent an
afternoon in a very dull munici
pal museum, watched the trains .
in and out of the railway sta
tion, read the papers in the free ,
library. None of these pursuits
involved conversation, and ex
cept to waitresses and the maid
at the hotel he did not utter a. '
word for anyone to hear. Some-'
times, however, during walks
in the surrounding country, he
talked to himself a little not
from eccentricity, but to reas-:
sure , himself ' of ' the power of '
speech. There were a few fac
tories also that he scouted
around, wondering If he should .
ask for a job, but : sooner or
later he always found a door "
with a notice "No Hands Want
ed." He knew that subscon
sdously he. was glad, because he
still feared the ordeal of cross
examination by strangers.
One rainy afternoon he sat In
the . refreshment room at the
railway station, drinking a third'
cut of tea that he did not want X
and staring at an old magazine
that he was not reading. Curious
how one had to stimulate- some
normal: activity or purpose . in
life, even if one hadn't one; or
especially If - one - had a secret
one; in a town cafe he could hot
have stayed so long, without at
tracting attention, but at the
station it was merely supposed '
he w a s- waiting for a train.
Trains were things people waited
. hours for; one did not, unless one
were peculiar, wait hours for a
desire to clairfy itself. But that
was what he was. waiting for.
It was Saturday; he had been
in Selchester almost a week. He
had a definite desire to go to the
theatre and see the show, but
he could not decide until he felt
certain what his desire sign!-:
fled. If It were weakness, an
urge to go back on his pledge
to himself, he would not give
way; he could endure - plenty
more of the aloneness, It would
not break him. But, on the other
hand, supposing it were not
weakness but strength suppos
ing it meant that e could now
walk into a theatre as normally
as Into a library or museum,
could face the crowd and ' the
lights -and the- excitement with
out a qualm? v; : f..'
He had walked past the thea
tre several times and had judged
the. kind of show it was from
bills and photographs nothing
very uplifting, but probably good
entertainment, and it would be
interesting' to see what she was
capable of. Thus, he made his
desire seem casual normal, al
most unimportant, until sudden
ly he decided he was strong and
not weak enough to go. He got
up and. walked ' briskly to the
counter to pay for the tea. "Get
tin' tired of waitin'?M remarked
the girl with mild interest The
Winton train's late today."
"Yes," he said, smiling. "I
think 111 get a breath of fresh
air." '
He left the station and walked
through the rain to the center ot
the dty; feeling more and more
: confident.. ,
It was an odd thing, this loss
of memory; he could not remem
ber personal things about him
self, yet he had a background
of. experience . that gave him a
certain maturity of judgment.
He had probably been to many
theatres before, just as he had
probably been to schools and
received a decent education.
.There were things he knew that
. he could only have picked up
from schoolbooks, other things
that he could only have learned
from, some forgotten event It
was as if his memory existed,
but was submerged; as if he
could lower a net and drag
something up, but only blind
fold, haphazardly, without the
power of selection. He could
not stare into.the past; he could
- only grope. But by some kind of
queer compensation, his eyes
for the present were preterna
turally bright; like a child's
eyes, naive, ingenuous, question
ing. . -
