BOTH ENDS AGAINST THE MIDDLE
The national admin istration has j ust come out with another
of its razzle-dazzle plans to circumvent the laws of economics.
This one would give everybody something for nothing, main
tain (or increase) the inflation and continue the spread of
paternalism. It is calculated, we may assume, to make every
body happy and to produce a general glow of satisfaction at
the Great White Father's generosity and ingenuity.
The plan, which has largely to do with food, is disclosed by
the secretary of agriculture. It proposes higher farm price
supports and, with a placating gesture to the customers, low
er and better prices to the ultimate consumer. At first glance
this would seem a miracle. It isn't at all. '
Higher farm products prices would be had through the
method that is already familiar in this country, that of gov
ernment guarantee, with government purchase in case of a
weakening market. Lower prices to the consumer would be
achieved by government subsidy at one or more points in the
distribution process, so that a reduced figure to the shopper
would not impair or at least would not eliminate all profit on
which wholesaler and retailer must depend. It all sounds so
simple, doesn't it? No doubt Mr. Brannan, the secretary of
agriculture, is wondering why no one ever thought of it be-
Of course, he does admit that it would cost a lot of money
but how much he doesn't mention. It is just possible that this
part of it doesn't bother him too much ; after all, the plan's
the thing and, if money is required, it's been found so easy to
raise taxes and sell bonds. No one should care about that,
least of all the secretary of agriculture. Surely not when a
bold, new plan is in the making that will delude so many
into the belief that they are getting something for nothing
and that will increase the importance of the department of
agriculture and add no telling how many political jobs to en
hance the power of patronage.
The taxes, even at that, are not all of it. Naturally they
must balance the amounts paid in making good government
guarantees plus the amounts paid at the other end in subsi
dies plus the sums which will go to pay a new army of office
holders and buy office equipment and supplies and acquire
more office space. But there would also be more government
controls. Farms eligible for benefits would be limited to
$25,000 a year gross output. There would be regimentation
of production by shifting price supports so that from time
to time the farmer would virtually be told that he must con
centrate on other crops or on dairying or livestock or egg
output. .
While Secretary Brannan hasn't said so, it would be an
easy step to control buying in much the same way by shift
ing subsidies so that the shopper would virtually be forced
into purchasing what the department of agriculture conceived
that he should be purchasing. , . ,
Fortunately the plan is not being too favorably received by
leaders of the congress, according to reports from Washing
ton. The best interests of the country as a whole will be served
if it is turned dov-'n flatly.
We were amazed to learn the other night that pyramid
club organization had been started in Bend and thut active
solicitation of members was under way. We had thought
that this community was too sensible for any such silly racket.
The pyramid club (quite legal, by the way, the courts have
ruled) is just another flowering of the "something for noth
ing" idea. Those who think they are interested will lose
interest if they reflect thut it works out to nothing for something.
Science at Work
By Paul V. Ellis
(United Pro Science Writer)
New York, April 9 tutMany
farmers and home gardeners are
"burning up" their soli through
over-use of chemical fertilizer,
Leonard Wlckcnden, a consulting
chemist, said today.
Wickcnden has the scientific
proof, he says, that the answer to
better and disease-free crops can
be found In the use of organic
substances to rebuild the top soil.
In fact, that's the way nature in
tended it to be, he said.
The chemist's scientific proof Is
his acre-garden plot near West
port, Conn., on which he has Ix-cn
experimenting for the lust five
years.
"I have been able to throw
away my spray gun," he said. "I
have found that healthy crops are
Insect resistant."
Wickenden said that any gard
ener can manufacture his own
organic fertilizer. He starts first
with a six-inch layer of vegetable
matter, such as cut grass. Then
he adds a layer of animal matter,
such as manure, That layer Is
sprinkled on, he said, and need
not be more than one-half inch i
thick. I
The third layer Is a sprinkling
of ordinary soil, and a fourth mid
final layer is a sprinkling of
ground lime stone, lie repeals
the process, until his composite
pile Is probably five feet high.
He pokes vertical holes In It so:
that air can reach the beneficial
bacteria that grows in the pile.
Within a few weeks, the pile j
develops heat, reaching 150 do-
grces. Then It cools, ho said, i
Next, ho "turns" the pile. That
Is, what was on the bottom he
places on top; and what was on
the outside, lie puis inside.
By late summer, material from
the pile can be used. It Is hotter,
he said, to spread the material
late In the year Just before the
frost, so that the garden will have
its new "top soil" by the next
spring.
The organic material, according
to Wlckcnden, not only eliminates
the use of any chemical fertilizer,
but also maintains the all-Important
top soil. Chemical fertilizers,
he said, In time "burns out" the
soil, leaving no nourishment for
the plants.
Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(NEA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) The open
ing of Pelping peace talks be
tween the Kuomintang National
ist government and the northern
communists offers almost the
only present hope for an eventual
solution of the Chinese disaster.
No one can predict what will come
out of these peace talks. But if
agreement can be reached to end
the civil war and let the armies
go home, that will be a start.
in 194b, General Marshall, then
U, S. ambassador to China, told
the Nationalist government that
Its proposed all-out war against
tne communists was doomed to
failure. Speaking as a soldier,
General Marshall told them that
their battle lines and lines of com
munication would be too long for
victory. General Marshall told
them that they would lose their
country. His advice was disre
garded, so he came home. Time
has now proved Kim right.
mat tne Chinese situation is
now a major disaster there can be
no doubt. The Nationalist govern
ment's own demands that Chiang
Kai-shek account for some $100,
000,000 and that his brother-in-law,
and sometime finance minis
ter T. V. Soong, account for $2,
000,000,000, are mere Indicators
of what's wrong, and how bad it
is.
Since V-J Day. the United States
has poured $2,000,000,000 worth
of aid into China. It has sold
China another $1,000,000,000
worth of goods at a fraction of
original cost.
As of V-J Day, the Nationalists
had flve-to-one superiority over
communist forces. But in the last
year the Nationalists- have lost
not only all of Manchuria and
North China. They have lost a
million men and 94 per cent of
tneir American equipment.
looay, tne Chinese communists
can apparently go anywhere they
want to. There is no force to stop
them. What has prevented them
from crossing the Yangtze river,
taKing Nanking, Shanghai and
points south, is said to be simply
the lack of administrative organ
izations competent to take over
and control these big cities and
commercial areas, according to
authorities on the situation.
There Is $58,000,000 worth of
U. S. Marshall plan aid still unde
livered to China. The economic
cooperation administration has
asked congress for authority to
stretch this aid three months to
June 30. The Idea is to send these
supplies Into the big seacoast cit
ies to keep their populations from
starving till the new Chinese
crops come In this summer. For
the communists to move into
these cities now would mean as
suming responsibility for their
collapse.
What else the United States can
do to relieve or save this situation
is open to question. As secretary
of state, General Marshall told
congress a year ago that further
aid to China would be waslcd.
Congress know better and threw
In $-103,000,000 for the current
fiscal year. Again General Mar
shall is now shown to have been
right.
e e
There have been two recent
congressional moves to get more
Confirmation Set
For Large Class ;
Traditional services, Including
the benediction and distribution
of palms to the worshippers, will
mark the Palm Sunday program
at the Trinity Episcopal church
tomorrow. Crosses, fashioned
from palms brought from the
Holy Land, will be distributed to
the congregations at the close of
each service. A feature of the
11 a. m. service will be the pre
sentation of a confirmation class
of 26 to the bishop to be received
into full membership of the
church through the apostolic rite
of the laying on of hands. This
class, which has been undergoing
intensive preparation for the past
three months Includes adults
only, and it is expected that a
junior class will be presented
later in the year. The-Rt. Rev.
Lane W. Barton, bishop of east;
ern Oregon, will be the preacher,
and the Episcopal ehoir will pre
sent appropriate music, including
Harker's anthem, "Turn Ye Even
To Me," with Stella Pearl Runge
as soloist.
Following the confirmation
service the entire congregation
U. S. aid for China. Maine Con
gressman Robert -Hale's resolu
tion, signed by 50 other represen
tatives, was a good move to
smoke out the Truman adminis
tration and make it lay its diplo
matic mah-jong tiles on the table.
For some reason or other, Chi
na has never been included in the
so-called bipartisan foreign policy
program. The principal' reason
republicans have favored more
aid to China is that the democrats
have been against it. . If demo
crats and republicans, if congress
and the state department were to
sit down and try to work out a
new China policy, it probably
would not produce anything more
than the present policy of letting
the situation clarify itself.
The new China aid bill introduc
ed by Sen. Pat McCarran is really
nothing but a disguised move to
give China U. S. silver in order to
create an artificial" shortage in-i
stead of a surplus. The intent is
to raise the price of U. Si silver.
So nothing constructive for Chi
na's good is going to come from
that.
