of the Yakima project, the Roza di
vision, which eventually will pro
vide water for about 72,000 acres of
sage brush land,” Mr. Page said.
“Had this land been available this
year, it is probable that all of it
would have been settled immediate
ly and that the largest number of
settlers would have been found
among those refugees from the
Great Plains drought area.”
Reports from Bureau of Reclama
tion officials in Yakima show that
3,800 persons went to that project
from the drought area during 1936.
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

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.

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 |
