WAR BOARD AIDE
AT COFC
r Any employer who has made
wage adjustments without ap
proval of the war labor board
should disclose these adjust
ments to the board (or his own
protection as well as for the pro
tection of the wage stabiliza
tion policy. William A. Bab
cock, regional attorney for the
12th regional war labor board,
advised employers yesterday at
a noon meeting at the Holland
hotel. The meeting was spon
sored by the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce.
Babcock, explaining duties of
the enforcement division of
WLB. declared that its primary
purpose is to stabilize wage
rates and to get people to com

pose, that of imposing penalties
to warn future violators, ap
plies particularly to those who
willfully violate wage rulings
or' fail to voluntarily disclose
wage adjustments made without
aporoval of WLB.
Babcock listed wage adjust

future. "All changes will be by

prize of $100 in a recent con
test sponsored by the Bolens

fied, i

regarding the sale of a garden

sidering many prospects, the
tractor was sold to Grant H. Nel

explained briefly how the cli
mate and soil of Brookings is

August 23-24, 1944. We

venture marked only the begin

portant phase of future air trans
portation. .
The certificate is signed by
W. A. Patterson, president of
United.
Chicago, Dec. 14 (U.R)
American agricultural produc
tion must be increased tremend
ously in the postwar period as
the farmers contribution to
ward providing a minimum
standard of living for the peo
ples of the world, according to
Eric A. Johnston, president of
the United States Chamber of
Commerce.
Johnston, speaking last night
at the 26th annual convention of
the American Farm Bureau Fed
eration, asserted that the solu
tion to the world's postwar
problems lies In an expanding
economy, based on high levels
of production and consumption.
"While other nations . are
clamoring for a crust of bread,
we here tonight are worrying
about what to do with our fu
ture loaves," he commented.
Johnston assailed the doc
trine of the economy of scarcity
which, he said, preached that
the "only remedy to depression
was to ' restrict production,
throw men out of work and di
vide less and less."
Wartime experience has prov
en, he declared, that the nation
never has produced enough
food to supply adequate nutri
tional standards, and not even
government and lend-lease pur
chases cai account for the 11
per cent increase in farm pro
duction over the surplus year
of 1940.
' The answer, he said, is sim
ply that the people now have
the money to buy food "which
they always wanted but were
unable to afford."
The maintenance of this pur
chasing power after the war
and its extension to all peoples
of the world will prevent any
return to the days of the depres
sion thirties, "when people went
hungry while unsaleable farm
products glutted the markets or
rotted on the farms," he asserted.
