EDI K KOK The Poor Little Pigs OECRETART WALLACE is wise to go to the farmers and find 3 out what they think about the AAA. If they don't want it certainly no one else in the country does. No other feature of the New Deal has been so generally con demned and ridiculed, as the Wallace scheme, particularly the plowing in of wheat and the slaughter of the little pigs. Rivets of tears have been shed over this waste of sustenance with thousands starring, eto., etc, etc Yet what has been done for the fanners, is nothing more than what the manufacturers of the country have insisted upon doing for themselves. Practically all manufacturers have cut down production to meet decreased demand. None of them have gone full steam ahead, storing up surpluses which they knew could not be sold, and would lower the price of what could be. But to hear some of the most vociferous critics of the New Deal talk, this is what the farmers of the country, should have done. They should have raised all the wheat and corn and cotton, all the cattle and pigs they could have raised, and to refuse to do this, and in the bargain get paid for NOT doing it, was not only economie folly, but morally wicked and wrong. YET this is what every other business in the country has done, and under similar conditions always does. It is the law of self-protection under the profit system. It is also common sense. For under the profit system there is no substitute for the old law of supply and demand. What would have happened to the clothing business if nil the clothing manufacturers had put out all they could produce with their equipment on hand; what would have happened to the cannery industry, if all the canners had operated to their full capacity! Yet the people have needed clothes and ennned goods just as they have needed bread and pork. SECRETARY WALLACE is quite right in saying that for the first time in history a serious attempt has been made by the government to put the farmers on an equality with other lines of industry. Production has been reduced just as manufactur ing production is reduced, protection and remuneration which haa been accorded manufacturing by the tariff structure has been given the farmers through the processing tax. MOREOVER THE SCHEME HAS WORKED. Criticize the theory of scarcity as you will, rail at the processing lax and laugh at the plowing in of little pigs, the fact remains, where wheat farmers, cattle and pig raisers before the New Deal was instituted couldn't make a dime and were most, of them operat ing at a loss; they are now for the first time in many years oper ating at a profit. There is today money in cattle, money in wheat and corn, money in pigs, and the reason is, the national supply of these commodities has been reduced where it more nearly equals the demand. THIS is the best answer to those who maintain the AAA has been a lot of hooey and but for the drought would have been a complete flop. The drought undoubtedly has been a large factor, but it has only done in a short time, what the AAA was DESIGNED to do over a longer period. In such matters it isn't theories for or against, it's RESULTS that count. And higher prices for farm products which was the chief aim of the AAA program have unquestionably been achieved. So, wo repeat, the Secretary of Agriculture is wise to go to the farmers of the country and find out what they want to do about the AAA. If they don't want it continued certainly, no one else oes. But if they do want it, now is the time to get up on their hind legs and say so I But It Isn IS a contemporary favoring the bonus bill we note the follow- ing: "Th demand for tmmtdlaw payment of th bonut contribut ed IU ahaire to th election of Mr. Rooaovelt. If any ghoet trmiblea the alumbera of the emlllnir. man in the White Houae, It nuift be that of the man In uniform In doaperate financial tralta oalllns for help." From the above one would conclude that during the 193'J campaign Candidate Roosevelt came o'ut for immediate payment of the bonus. Unless the editorial memory is entirely at fault, this is pre cisely what F. D. R. did NOT do. The heat was turned on at various times, and unless we sre mistaken, this paper at one time, charged the democratic candi date with trying to secure veterans support, hy maintaining silence regarding the honus, and giving the country the impres sion he was for it. At any rate it is our distinct recollection that Candidate Roosevelt finally did break his silence and before election day, came out unequivocally against the immediate payment of the bonus. In fact this was one of the high liuhts of the canipnign. So while the smiling occupant of the While House may or may not. be troubled by ghosts, they arc certainly not ghosts from the army of bonus marchers, of 1031 and 1!:V Candidate Roosevelt went on record during the campaign, and hss repeated his stand since election, that he is opposed to im mediate pament of the bonus from an empty treasury. So on that issue at least he need he troubled by no ghost one war or the other.

Now I wonder whether an Item printed In this column Saturday, February 9. can be responsible for this legend, w h 1 c b has brought many Inquiries. The Item was as fol lows: "Woman who cataract develop ing in one eye went to oculist, who Instructed her to take cod liver oil, which she did, and her eye became well in a short time." "Woman who had Before I printed the Hem I tried to elicit further Information from the correspondent, but without success. In animals such as rabbits It Is possible to produce cataract by de privation of vitamin O. Whether lack of vitamin O. or Insufficient vita min O in the diet Is a factor of senile cataract In man Is not yet known, but there Is some reason to believe It may be one factor. We do know that insufficient vita min A In diet Is a cause of night blindness. That may have been the nature of the trouble In the Instance the render reported. Popular Ideas concerning cataracts are generally vague. For Instance It Is a common notion that cataract Is a kind of opaque skin or growth over the "sight." Cataract Is an opacity with in the eye, a degeneration and cloud ing of the normally transparent crys talline lens. Opacities or growths which appear on the eyeball are sometimes mistaken for cataract by laymen. It la conceivable that the cure for cataract reported by the cor respondent was actually the healing nnd clparlng up of some such sur face opnclty. Night blindness, nyctalopia (some times Incorrectly railed hereralopia. which means day bllndnpss).

AN ITEM In the news that ISN'T a sidelight: "A new peace time spending record by the federal government was in prospect tonight for the current fis cal year with treasury figures show ing expenditures In little more; than 10 months in excess of six billion dollars." We're a long, long way from the days when we used to run the gov ernment of the United States for around a half billion dollars a year.

The overlooked fact behind the ex isting bonus controversy is that it is not primarily a bonus controversy. What has happened is that the In flationists in congress stole the bonus issue to promote their money Ideas. Congressman Patman, author of the prevailing bill, has always been a bonuslte, but primarily he Is an In flationist. He lives, breathes, walks and talks the easy money Issue. The character of the men who put his bill over in the senate shows the dis tinction even more clearly. Every senatorial page boy knows that Sena tor Thomas never ceases to let his money ideas guide all his actions. And no one ever saw Huey Long fulminating about the soldiers be fore. It was perfect Inflationist strategy. By swiping the bonus Issue and mak ing It their own. they managed to develop their maximum support In congress for their real issue. Talk, haa developed in congress lately about changing the powers ol the supreme court. It Is only talk. What started it of course was the 5 to 4 decision outlawing the railroad pension system. Congressman Ramsay of West Virginia, who is a very good lawyer, has formally proposed a con stitutional amendment In the house. It would prevent inferior courts from Invalidating acts of congress and per mit the supreme court such power only by a two-thirds vote. Congress man Lewis of Maryland has dug up an old unpassed Borah bill of l02d which would require a vote of 7 to 2 for invalidation of congressional laws. The interesting part of Borah's old proposal Is that it assumed congress could change court procedure with out a constitutional amendment. The only thing the constitution says on the subject Is that the supreme court shall have appellate Jurisdiction (Article 3. Section 2. paragraph 3) over acts of congress. This talk always arises when tne court invalidates a popular congres sional act. Nothing will be done about it now. Labor leaders are witling to confess off the record that they see no way to write a railroad pension act get ting around the supreme court de cision. Five functioning Justices of the supreme court are over 70. but other federal employes are required to re sign when they reach that age. Mrs. Roosevelt's friend, Congre&s woman Caroline O'Day, argued in a congressional hearing that men have destroyed women's historic place In the home by Inventing machines to do her housework, thus causing her to seek new friends outside, So they blame even women's new freedom on men.
