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

In Spain, Insurgents reported they
had reduced Mora DeEfbro, last gov.

of the Ebro river, to smoking ruins j
and had encircled the 'town. The

WHO Are
Associated
the...
Farmers?
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.

deal. 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

Regular Girl Scout Leaders as

November , at Scout headquarters
with 22 leaders attending.
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.
