o LOOKING
o FORWARD
By FRANKLYN WALTMAN,
Publicity Director, Republican
National Committee
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
long has been the enigma of the
New Deal Even his best friends, as
the halitosis advertisements put it,
on occasion have been unable to ex
plain his strange and conflicting be
havior. For instance there is Mr. Wal
laces frequently expressed devotion
to the Reciprocal Trade Program.
Also there is the fact that he and
his policies more than any other
factor constitute the greatest ob
stacle to the success of the Recip
rocal Trade Program.
Now we have another example of
the vacillations of Mr. Wallace. In
the newspapers of August 18 ap
peared headlines to this effect:
''Wallace Drafting Plans for Subsidy
of Wheat Exports." The stories be
neath those headlines announced
that within a week or so the Secre
tary of Agriculture hoped to have
ready a plan to subsidize the export
of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat dur
ing the current crop year. By the
time these remarks are published Mr.
Wallace in all probability will have
announced his plan.
Wallace Denounced Plan
The amazing thing about this un
dertaking is that on August 11 one
week before the newspaper reports
cited above Mr. Wallace denounced
as sharply as anyone could schemes
for subsidizing agricultural exports.
Speaking before a conference of A.
A. A. state committeemen, he char
acterized such proposals as "price
fixing" and "export dumping"
schemes.
"Is it sound policy," he demanded
to know, "to attempt greatly to in
crease our production of export
crops, to increase our exportation of
soil fertility abroad and get nothing
in return? All of these programs en
vision that we use American money
so that we sell larger quantities of
our stuff abroad without getting
anything in return for those larger
quantities.
''Now is it worth while to plow
up the hills of the South and the
Great Plains the hills of the South
for cotton, the Great Plains for
wheat, and the hills of the Corn
Belt for corn and allow that soil to
wash into the rivers and lose bil
lions of tons of topsoil into the riv
ers, and send hundreds of millions
of tons of phosphorus, potassium and
nitrogen into the Europeaen markets
with the United States getting noth
ing back for it merely for the sake
of making the railroads feel better,
because they are hauling some stuff
to the seaboards, and making cer
tain exporters feel better?"
Wallace Said Mouthful
All of which constitutes a mouth
ful of words but that is what Mr.
Wallace said, according to the ver
batim stenographic transcript of his
remarks made available by the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration.
Indeed, he doubted whether any
Nation would permit this country
to "dump" agricultural products in
to it under a Federal subsidy, be
cause, as he said, "nearly every
country in the world is trying to
protect its farmers in as active a way
as we are'."
"They have," he added, "methods
that they can use which they won't
hesitate to use to keep obviously
subsidized stuff out of the market."
Mr. Wallace also denied that such
schemes "would avoid scarcity and
avoid regimentation." Actually, he
argued, such a program "means
scarcity to the poorer half of our
people because under it the price
Would be held up much higher to
all the people of the United States."
He added that "it is a terrible threat
to the bottom one-third in whom the
President is much interested" a
bewildering statement to come from
the man who sponsored the A. A. A.
And then Mr., Wallace made a
most significant remark, one which
in effect was a confession that his
present farm control plan does con
stitute regimentation.
Worst Kind of Regimentation
"These various price-fixing pro
grams are scarcity programs in the
worst sense of the term," asserted
Mr. Wallace. "I wouldn't say all of
them, but the one customarily urged
are. And they would be the worst
Hep'pner
kind of regimentation programs. You
would have to have regimentation of
the farmer. All of them would have
to have their quotas, just the same
as now, every last one of them.
Then you would have to regiment
them with regard to when they could
sell and where. Then you would
have to regiment all the group of
middlemen.
"I can't understand what gets into
some of the middlemen pushing this
kind of thing, because you would
have to regiment that entire group.
Of course, it may be that for certain
purposes it is a good thing to regi
ment the middlemen."
A little further on Mr. Wallace,
wonder among wonders, urged his
listeners not to "close the door in
any prejudiced manner to any ap
proaches of this sort." He went on
to say that "maybe on a small scale
with certain commodities it might be
used for a limited purpose for a
limited time" and that "I can con
ceive, for instance, that we might
possibly use a certain amount of
export dumping with wheat."
You decide whether all of. that
makes sense.

Burned Hall Rebuilt
Oregon State College Temporary
quarters for the agricultural engin
eering department have been ar
ranged pending the reconstruction
of old farm mechanics building, the
interior and roof of which were
burned out in an early morning
fire September 9. Application has
been made to the state board of con
trol for many from the state restor
ation fund to start rebuilding imme
diately. The fire started from one of three
experimental hop driers that have
been operated by the experiment
stations for the past four seasons.
Although they were inspected hour
ly through the night by an attend
ant, flames got such headway they
could not be stopped before the
frame interior of the two-story
brick structure was destroyed.
The building alone was valued, at
present replacement costs, at $30,000,
but as the walls were undamaged it
is believed both building and equip
ment can be replaced for less than
that amount
C. A. Warren and family of the
Dry Fork district were business vis
itors in the city yesterday.
Gazette Times, Heppner,
Facts for Drivers
From the office of Earl W. Snell,
Secretary of State.
The use and misuse of traffic lanes
probably gives rise to as much mis
understanding and "cussing" and
collisions as any other single factor
in the movement of automobiles.
Everyone has seen drivers ap
proach an intersection in the right
hand lane, near the curb, apparent
ly preparing to turn to the right;
then suddenly they will change their
minds, and will swing sharply to
the left without giving any warning
of their intentions.
These wrong-lane-turners and
their counterparts, the yellow-line-straddlers
and the stoppers-without-signalling,
needlessly complicate the
traffic problem and make driving a
dangerous guessing game rather
than an orderly flow of vehicles
from point to point.
The rules for the use of lanes are
extremely simple:
1. Drive in the right-hand lane
except when passing or preparing to
turn left.
2. Turn right from the right-hand
lane, nearest the curb.
3. Turn left from -the lane nearest
the center line, on your side of the
highway.
4. Keep your car entirely within
one lane, except when changing
from one to another.
Knowing these rules, the import
ant thing is to practice them. Make
