Of this number, 800 actually were settled on farms in the Yakima Val ley, some of them purchased from the Federal Land Bank, and others provided by subdivision of farms in crop. In addition, 700 well quali fied farmers made earnest efforts to locate in Yakima Valley but were unable to find vacant property. The demand for new opportunities under irrigation canals in the West is not confined to home seekers mi grating from the drought area. Sons of farmers on western irrigation pro jects, Federal and private, seeking to make homes for themselves com pose the largest single group of pros pective settlers.

ANNUAL LAUNDRY CANNERY MEETING MIGRATION BRINGS FAMILIES WEST ADDRESS OF WELCOME | our basic economic inequalities. Competitively and by political force we are striving to place one group of our citizens on a par with another group rather than trying to remedy the real cause of the inequal ity. All such measures have failed or will eventually fail because of the unsoundness of their approach to the problem. We have failed to rea lize, despite the fact that the Uni ted States is supposed to be a poli tical democracy and consequently an economic democracy, that we have gone dangerously far from be ing actually an economic democra cy. More than 42 per cent of our fam ilies have incomes under $1,000 a year; one-tenth of 1 per cent have more income than the 42 per cent. Such inequalities, if long continued, will make a political democracy im possible. Some evolutionary economic forc es must be made effective in Amer ica if we are to expect to be free from- the political movements that have wrecked and have come near wrecking some of the countries of Europe. There seems to be little recogni tion on the part of American citi zens generally of the causes of the several forms of so-called radical po litical expression prevalent in the world today. For these reasons our task as leaders of cooperative effort is becoming greater each year. As promoters, as educators, as business operators, and as financiers, our task calls for more than the usual intellectual astuteness; it calls also for moral and spiritual courage. We must recognize and be con cerned in our thinking with the fact that the real political battle going on in the United States today is one between money and human values. We must recognize that political ac tion largely follows economic pow er and, consequently, unless econo mic power is, in some way, returned to the people, legislative action Is of little enduring importance. It should be and is the purpose of this Congress to plan for a better concerted attack on economic malad justments and consequent social un rest. The Meed for United Action. There are many things which we, as community or regional societies, must of necessity plan and do in a way best suited to our geographical and historical backgrounds, but there are some things in common to all that cannot be well accomplished by dissociated action. In Ohio one of our greatest pro- plems is to provide reading and stu dy material for our people. Much of this we must provide to meet the local needs, of course, but a vast majority of this material is of com mon need to all. It seems to us that there could be set up and financed 1 national staff of editors and writ ers covering all the fields of action, whose material could be put togeth er in a coordinated way for the com mon use of all, in the development of our educational program. The oncomir, attacks against the cooperative movement need nation al attention and cannot be met alone by individual societies—consequent ly the need of financing an enlarged national publicity program. We are in a position now where we have a great need for some com mon plan of providing adequate wholesale facilities for the numer ous consumers cooperatives spring ing up everywhere which may. In some cases, fall the prey to old line discriminations. We should be unit ing in a much larger way to supply our wholesale needs and thus more effectively lay the groundwork for cooperative production. DRESSED TDRKEYS WANTED of W J.

Other Problems Ahead. Perhaps the greatest need of all is to begin with ourselves individ ually as socalled "leaders" and ask the question whether we are think ing of ourselves and the success of our own associations rather than the ultimate aims and purposes of the movement. Economists, financial and busi ness leaders the world over are com ing to agree that the unsoundness of our money program is the basis for the largest part of our unjointed re- ‘ationships. There is one sure way of remedying the abuses of the sys tem. and that is to handle our own money cooperatively, creating what more we need, as private Institutions do. and turning the advantages back to the patrons as other cooperative services are doing. No other coop erative enterprise needs our serious thought and consequent planned ac tion more. This cannot be a local | matter In Its larger aspects.
