VOICE FOR IRE Enthusiasm Surges in Buda pest As Leaders Tell Nation Occupation of 4875 Miles Only Part (By The Associated Prens) Hungary, excited by military oc cupation of about 4.670 square mile of Czechoslovakia, raised a clamor to day for further territorial expansion while Japan paved the way for new explltatlon of conquered areas of China. Enthusiasm surged in Budapest as leaders told the Hungarian nation that recovery of territory from ll;ech oalovakta was "only partial justice." Japan organized the Central China Development company, similar to her previous North China Development company, but the president, Kcnjt Kodama, pledged "We have no Idea of monopoly. ... We will not Interfere with foreign interests." Bum la Sees Trouble In Moscow, Soviet Russia celebrated 31 years of Communist rule but. with rejoicing for her "coming of age," looked to the future with dark fore boding. War Commtsar Voroshlloff emph asized the Soviet Union was prepared to meet force with force and George Dlmltroff, secretary general of the Communist International, predicted Germany, advancing to the east, might be at war with Russia by late , 1941. At Weimar. Qermany. Relchsfuehr er Hitler told 100.000 Nazis yesterday Germany regained great neM through arma and "we won't forget how our success came." He declared, however, Germany's wish was that the "world leave ua alone" and aald he had de cided on an army strong enough to assure fulfillment of that wish. French Plot Charged Prance's powerful Socialist party. charging Nationalists were plotting to seize power on Armistice day, pre sented a reaction to Premier Dal adter demanding guarantees of "free j functioning of parliament and tho democratic regime." j In Spain, Insurgents reported they had reduced Mora DeEfbro, last gov. ernment stronghold on the west bank of the Ebro river, to smoking ruins j and had encircled the 'town. The mltted only the "enemy succeeded in duced front." j Japanese forces In Central China were reported attacking Chinese poel- . tlons along the border of Hunan province In a drive toward hitherto untouched territory.

Associated Farmers of Jackson County, Inc., was organized here a little over a year and a half ago. The officers are as follows: President, W. J. Warner; Vice-President, S. M. Tuttlej Secretary-Treasurer, W. J. Looker. The preamble of the declaration of principles of Associ ated Farmers of Jackson County, Inc. is as follows: To protect, preserve and maintain American Institutions and Ideals lo preserve the Constitutional form of government In both state and nation; to opppose and combat any and nil doctrines or practices which Imperil the maintenance of these constitutional liberties; to protect American Schools and the comtltutlnnal privileges which the educational system of America has brought to all children and students; to fight agalntt the Inflltrullnn of sulncrslve doctrines Into the educational system and Into the government; to combat dictatorship of Individuals or groups; to foster mid encourage respect for, and to maintain law and order, particularly by cooperating with local, state and national official and govern ment agencies; to promote the prompt, orderly and efficient administration of Justice; and to promote and protect the economic and agricultural welfare of the citizen of the United states and particularly of the citizens of Jackson County, Oregon." Associated Farmers or Oregon, of which the Jackson County organization Is an affiliate, Is one of the sponsors of the so-called Bill to Regulate Ticketing and Boycotting. An opposing argument has been published In the voters' pamphlet, In which the author presumes to portray Associated Farmers In a false light. In order to obtain better Information on some of the conditions clalmrd to exist by the author of that opposing argument, the Secretary of Associated Farmers of Jackson County wrote a letter to Mr. Fred (ioodccll. secretary of Associated Farmers of the Pacific Coast, to which he received the following reply: "To answer the question regarding wages paid farm workers In California, Oregon and Washington, I prefer to quote direct from an official report Issued under dale or October 14. 10.111, by the I lilted states Department of Agrlrulliire. This report gives lann uge rates as or October I, 10.18. 1 now quote official government figures; Per Month Per Month Per Day Per Hay With Board Without fioanl vvllh Hoard Without rt'ril Washington JKI.no 8.12..VI 1.!0 3.6S Oregon ...... .IB.JMl im.m i.j.i 2.4s California 45.00 7. g.io j.sj The same Department of Agriculture report ghes the ateragc farm labor ag. j rates fot the I mini states as follows: Per mouth with board . J4.ni Per day with board H.58 Per month without board St.15 Per day without board 1.8!) You will note that this official government report gives the wage rntes for October 1, l!il. less than one month ago. You will further note that California, Oregon and Wutliincton are tuning far more In all brackets than Is paid tor similar labor throughout the rolled states. These government tlgures also prove the rnlslty or the statement luncle by Mr. C. II. Ilalley, who sajs the best farm wage In California Is glten to grape idckers and "a good grope picker can make 11.3.1 . day." The Department of Agriculture says the average form wage In California, without hoard. Is 2.8.1 per day. Mr. Bailey further Intimates that the farmers of fallfnrnln hate attempted to exploit those unfortunate migrants who have come Into this slate because of unbearable conditions In the so-called Dust Bowl. It Is true that UO.OO0 or more of these people have migrated In Arlrona, California, Oregon. Idaho and nashlngton. and so far as it has been humanly possible the farmers of these Pacific Coast states hae endeavorrd to rind employment for them. The fact Is that despite . great surplus of form labor there hos been no attempt by Pacific Coost farmers to cut wages. To the contrary, and citing (internment tlgures, we hate maintained an exceptionally high wage rate. It Is true that In the loner end or the Son Joaquin Valley, where cotton Is the principal crop, there has been a great over-supply or farm labor. The crop Is excellent, hut the markrt Is way down In the slumps. Last year, when cotton was being quoted at $12.00 or more, the fanners paid 90c a hundrrd to their pickers. This year, tilth cotton quoted at a little more than 8.00. I hey hate been paying their pickers ?.ic per hundred. The average picker earns brtneen I..Vl and S3.00 a dot: the expert picker earns more, and so tar as It has been practicable these pickers hate been given houses within which to live and supplied tree furl, water and lighting. The C. I. o. radicals hate moved Into the district and alteinpted to call a strike. They have done this by threatening people who wanted to work. They have not succeeded because most of these newcomers, the migrants, are Inrere thet nam lo work and they hate been satisfied tilth the nage and the working conditions. Just about three weeks ago Harold Pontrroy. director or the State Fmcrzeury Relief Association or California, mode an Iniestlgatlnn or labor conditions In the loiter son Joaquin, lie reported that the men who wonted to work could earn as much by picking cotton as they could by accepting employment under the WPA, providing, or course, they were capahle of doing the work, lie refused to cerllty for reller men who ttrre Idle and who refused lo accept Jobs that were open to them. In the statement by Mr. Bailey there Is also the statement Indicating farmers have mode no attempts to provide adequate living quarters for .heir emplotes. To answer that I refer lo . report made by Timothy A. Heanlon. director of the Department of Housing and Immigration of California, to lha Governor ol California. Before he became a public official Tim Heardon for many years was a labor union leader In Calllornla. In his nlllrlal report llradon sois that during the year 10.17 larmrrs of California sent more thou su.oon.noo In proildlng and Improving collages and tent shelters ror their employes. The statement of Mr. Bailey that Associated Ittrmers was formed to enslave I he migrants Irnm the Dust Bowl Is false on lis face. Associated Formers was started In 11.1.1 and Incorporated In 19.14 and at that time no one ever heard ol a Dust Bowl. In the later years we hate done all we could to aid the migrants by keeping Ihe nates mi and Improving bousing conditions. I grow weary In answering the charge that Asvsrlalcd Farmers Is composed of onli the great corimrate farmers, we have more than lon.oon members, and as tar as I know there are not that many great corporate farms In the entire I tilled -Mies. Holmes Bishop president or Associated Farmers of Calllornla. owns and operates a '.'0 acre form. Perhaps he should be accused of helng an agricultural rotallst." Hating pointed out some or the Inaccuracies In the opposing argument heretofore mentioned, too will, of course, draw tour own conclusions as to the merits of the balance of the statement. II Is unfortunate that II has been necessary for (he proponents of the proposed legislation to con duel such an extensile campaign, hut there was no other cont.e to follon. In tlew of the beaiv smoke-screen Hint has been thrown up to befog the real Issue. Mr. Looker, the Secretary of Associated Farmers of Oregon will speak over KMED this evening, at 7:30 P. M.

And word comes that La Guardla. la now convinced the pres ident la stronger than ever In the country. Moreover, there U the fact that Tom Dewey may win, and that. If he wins, he will be the likeliest 1 prospect for the Republican nomln- j atlon In 1940. If you plan to run for a great office yourself, It Is ex ceedingly tactless to appear to have high regard for the capabilities of 1 your opponent. And there Is every , Indication that La Guardla has be- i gun to think of his own career in terms of 1940. Among the Indications are his oareerlngs about the country, com plete with kindly quips, black felt semi-sombrero and friendly speeches i to the farmers. A still more Import- ' ant sign was his recent private but j very positive announcement of dis taste for third term efforts. ( It seems probable that La Guardla Is calculating on the conservative ; Democrats capturing their party j from the president. In that event, , the Democratic presidential choice i will be almost indistinguishable from the Republican. And then La Guardla j can raise the liberal standard, rally I the La Foil et tea. the labor groups, the new dealers and perhaps even j the president himself, and march to the wars at the head of a powerful putty inuvcuitni. it 15 a aar- ins wjuukui., dui you aon i nave to be a mental telepathlst to suspect It la In La Guardla's mind.

Plans were made at the Leaders' association for every leader and troop committee member to attend the special meeting Wednesday, Nov. 9, to hear Miss Esther Ansel.- If for any reason a leader cannot attend, she should send a substitute so every troop will be represenied. Definite plans were made for the International Festival tv be Decem ber 9 at the Senior high school. Each troop has selected a country to represent, and Is preparing a song and dance or a skit to pre sent at the festival. There will be a special council wide court of honor at Scout head quartersSaturday, November 19 at 10 a.m. At this meeting the troop patrol leaders and representative members will be Instructed In the festival dances, aontt. etc. Plans will also be made for Thanksgiving com munity services. It Isn't wise to laugh at La Guar- : dla'a ambitions, for he Is an amaz- ; ing creature this band-leader's son ' with the short, chunky body and the squeaky voice, who achieves, by pure ; vitality, such an extraordinary ef- ' feet of human dignity. He is a ter- f rifying opponent, as the New York bankers learned, when La Guardla : answered their refusal to lower city ; Interest .rates by shaking his finger In their faces and shouting. "You listen to me, you . . ., you. If you don't lower the rate this afternoon. 1 I announce that all city relief Is stopped because the bankers won't let the city feed the poor." He Is an Immensely shrewd pol itician, a master of tactics, and a born popular leader. As mayor of New York, he took over a squalidly corrupt, hopelessly inefficient, hor ribly Indebted city administration. ' and transformed It so completely that the greatest city In the wcrld Is now also one of the world's best run. And, after the president, he Is now the country's most conspicuous liberal.
