People a-c ao forgetful that at
own traditions
Now It ic r n a the United States is faced with a presidential de
mand fo" universal military training as s “ means of strengthening
the security” of the nation. The people o f the country, beset and
confused by the carefully highlighted dangers that are intarnation-
tily lying in wait for the future, are divided, with many of them
feeling that perhapr thare is an advantage in preparedness.
What must te faced in any fair estimate of the UMT program
Is that the .-os* to the ration would total $1,750,000,000 each year
plus .the lors in goods and services which would result from the
withdrawal of shout one million men from productive work, during
their training period.
With U S.commitals by the Marshall plan flirting benignly in the
billions, destined within restrictions to the rehabilitation of Europe,
there should redly he a little slowdown in leas necessary expend
itures. And of all things this nation needs. UMT seems to be about
the least.
Farm, lal or, church and social organisations are leading oppon
ents to th_- president’s suggested change in the restrictions of the
United States They seem to see in the proposal an insidious threat
of a n -wer mo t disastrous war as well as a dangerous fallacy
behind which no people can effectively hide.
President Truman apparently believes, or through his advisors is
led to assume, that the world is definitely divided into two spheres
of power which cannot be other than conflicting. It Is also accepted,
at the White H use. that a war with Russia is so inevitable that not
more than ten years respite separates us from probably, the most
hitter—and final -war in history.
I f President Truman is gifted with conclusive evidence of the
Future's portent, his proposal of a staggering armed forces ex
penditure would still seem poorly advised.
History has showed the course of downfall which other nations
followed by w ry of conscription in peacetime and a staggering arms
budget. Recent examples of France and Norway, to cite but two
»xamples. show how utter the fallacy of s conscripted defense against
Invasion.
The true security for any nation is in its technical and industrial
rtrength. (Jiviry ap annual clasa of 18-year-old lads one year in
uniform then considering them s reserve of strength against any
offenses will add very little in the technical skills required

ably there Is some connection be
tween sunspots and both crops
and business which we do not yet
understand The science o f all
forecasting Is In its Infancy. Brief
ly the sunspot theory is that when
these spots are very brilliant and
active, we suffer from either, or
both, very hot and very
cold
weather. It is further true that
these sunspots will be brilliant in
1M8.
On the other hand, since the
cold summer of 1816. when the
sunspots
were
very
brilliant,
there have been many other years
when the sunspots were equally
brilliant and when none of the
corresponding years were badly
upset
by
weather
conditions.
Therefore, as a statistician.
I
would say that there Is no existing
evidence for farmers to worry
about concerning sunspots, al
though there may be much for the

Now a word of advice to those
who are looking for farms but
have not yet purchased one Get
a farm In the central part of the
country which is net too subject
either to dry spells or wet spells.
Buy s farm equally divided be
tween upland and bottomland with
some woodland and with an inde
pendent water supply. Before mak
ing any purchase, visit the new
U. 8. irrigation developments in
the southwest Thsy are worthy of
careful study
as the so-called
"Arid" land Is very very rich.
The very fact that it has not had
rainfall, causes It to retain the

been largely washed out o f much

The failure of certain crops due
to a wet spring or early frost,
or too much or too little rainfall,
may be expected almost any year.
On the other hand, as years go
on, each crop failure should be
less disastrous than preceding
ones owing to the lessons which
may be learned. The Important
thing, however, which all farm
ers and others Interested in farm
crops should recognise is ihe Im
portance of diversification of both

A fter careful study of this fam
ous 1816 summer, I conclude that
the cause of the low temperatures
was the dust in the air covering
the skies of the entire world. It
was a year of several volcanoes
In action. These might well have
caused dust In the air which could
shut o ff the sunshine. I further
understand
that certain
other
cold summers have come along
In conjunction with many dust
storms and other causes.
The above is not saying that
1M8 may not witness a cold sum
mer. but farmers and others will
be wise to plan upon normal
weather, at least so far as tem
perature is concerned As to rain- i

It doesn't seem possible that any national leader would abandon
any possible alternative to war. It doesn't seem logical that s civil

It isn't so long ago that parents bade godspeed to their young,
as they embarked on s career of national defense. Have they
forgotten, so soon, that they want s quicker, more terrible repetition
of the latest e^tlon of World War?
Why can * the money and the time spent in trying to conscript
the youth of th* nation be turned to the development of industrial
and technical skills which. In time of war need, would be sounder

Our natkn w*ll do much better by following the wisdom of Us
own tradition. In this matter
fa ll this seems to follow s cycle,
and many sections of the United
States are now entering s dry j
cycle. Crops which can p ro s p e r

As General Eisenhower has indicated, the sum of training value
from such a program o f universal conscription would be the indoc
