FOREI6N EXPERT TO SPEAK HERE , ON SAAR POLL Sir Herbert Brown Ames to Lecture at Study Club Forum. "The Saar Basin Plebiscite and What It Means Afterward” will be the topic of Sir Herbert Brown Ames, Canadian diplomat, who will deliver the second address at the World Travel Study Club's winter forum at 8:15 next Friday in the American Central Life Insurance Company auditorium. Sir Herbert has spent a great deal of time studying the economic and political situation in post-war central Europe and intimately is acquainted with conditions in the Saar, where, the first of the year, inhabitants will vote either to become a part of Germany, or a part of France, or to remain under the protective wing of the League of Nations. The Canadian diplomat has had a long and important career both in Montreal, his birthplace, and in Europe. From 1904 until 1917 he represented his native city in the Dominion parliament. At the same time he was chairman of the select standing committee on banking and commerce.

During the World war. Sir Herbert became honorary-chairman of the Canadian patriotic fund, which raised and distributed nearly $50,000.000 for support of wives, children and dependents of Canadian soldiers. %For this service he received the Order of Knight of Grace, Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. In 1919 he was appointed finanel*r director of the League of Nations secretariat then being organized in London. He held this post in Geneva until 1926. During the last seven years he has revisited Geneva seven times and spent the summer of 1932 surveying league activities in Germany, Poland and Geneva. At present Sir Herbert lives in Brookline, Mass., as a member of the Harvard university examining board in government history and economics and chairman of the Amherst college alumni political science commtitee.

The New Deal and the Toneses

The firm Dnl'i not urk a mTitrrian* undertaking If nn get right down and di*ru* it in plain langnagr, the Jone* famile find*. They’re been doing it for .eteral day* and they're getting a i rlearer knowledge of the adminUtralion’* program in all it* phaaes. They add to thi* knowledge in this article, tenth of the serie*. BY WILLIS THORNTON CHAPTER TEN -IYTELL, Henry, how does it W seem to get a nice fat check from the government for not working?” Pa Jones, well-filled with a good Sunday dinner, grew jocose as he passed the cigars to his cousin, and the two families settled down for an after-dinner chat. Cousins and friends for many years, the Robiasons often came in from their farm to visit the Joneses, and the Joneses knew the Robinson farm well as frequent visitors. Henry Robinson drew deeply on the cigar. Ignoring the friendly barb, he considered thoughtfully, ‘‘John, I’m not much for the government telling me how to farm. I've farmed all my life, and my father and my grandfather farmed our place before me. I ought to know something about it. “I’ve seen these government aid programs come and go, and I’m kind of skeptical about all of ’em. “But I'm bound to say I think this one’s got a better chance to get somewhere than any other I’ve seen. “I’m about ready to admit that we farmers have got to give up some of our independence and fit ourselves into some kind of national picture. I hope never to see the day when there’ll be a federal inspector telling me when to drill wheat and when to dig potatoes, but I guess there’s such a thing as being too independent. You city people don’t know what it is to get hard raps.”

THE picture behind Henry's words was this: At the beginning of 1933, six and a half million farm families, representing 22 per cent of the people, were getting the lowest prices of modem times for their crops. What they bought cost 9 per cent more than in 1914; what they sold ‘brought 43 per cent less. They simply couldn't buy city-made goods —and that added to the length of the city breadlines. The agricultural adjustment administration was created to do two things: Raise the amount which farmers got for their crops; and do it so they wouldn’t just turn around and raise more to cash in on the higher prices. The “domestic allotment” plan was formed. It provided that farmI ers raising basic crops, such as

wheat, cotton, tobacco, and corn, could sign an agreement if they wanted to. More than 3,000,000 of them did. The agreements varied for different crops, but the general idea was this: The farmer agrees to reduce the number of acres he plants. The government pays him in cash for this, to prevent his losing by planting less. He also stands to gain by increased prices for what he does raise. To raise the money, the government sets a “processing tax.” That is paid by the man who first “processes” the crop (grinds wheat, gins cotton). The government collects this tax and pays it to the farmers for reducing acreage. The "processor” adds it to the price of the product. “'T'HAT’S practically a sales tax A on us city people for the benefit of ycu farmers, isn’t it?” demanded Pa Jones. “Yes, I suppose it is,” admitted Robinson. “But don’t you forget that for years we’ve been paying hfgher prices for things on the farms just to help you city folks.” “Why, how’s that?” demanded Pa Jones. “In tariffs,” responded Robinson. “For instance, I could get foreign rubber boots a lot cheaper. But the government won't let them send ’em in without a high tariff that’s the same as a tax. I have to pay it so you city fellows can keep making rubber boots. “Or I have to buy the American boots at a price equal to that of the foreign boots plus tariff; that’s the same thing. Been doing it for years. “Now if I can pay more for boots to help American workmen in the city, I don’t see why you can’t pay more for flour so I can get more for my wheat than the world price. It’s fair enough, I say.” “Well, I guess it is, now you put it that way,” admitted Jones. “But is the thing working?” a a a % THE only fair answer is, “Partly.” In spite of the terrible and unexpected drought, American farmers this year will have an income of nearly $6,000,000,000, compared to $4,328,000,000 in 1932. That increase, of course, includes the benefit payments for reducing acreage. But even then there is a gain through higher prices for what was raised. Henry Robinson got 90 cents a bushel for his wheat instead of 30 cents as last year. Miny farmers, their crops utterly ruined by the drought, had no income at all but what they received for reducing acreage.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“But since the drought cut down the wheat carryover below normal, it looks now as though they're goinj to let us increase our acreage next year. The idea of restriction on production is only temporary—it must be! “Our county association r’ready is making plans to restore wheat acreage if it’s allowed. So if they can fix it so more corn, wheat and hogs are needed in this country, and get back even some of our old export trade., we’ll be ready to give ’em all the production they want.” “Kind of looks as though we have to hang together, doesn’t it, Henry?” mused Pa Jones. “Unless you farmers get good prices, and have an income, you can’t buy citymade goods, and factories stand idle. “On the other hand, if we r'ty folk don’t have good incomes, we can’t buy near the flour and cotton we ought to, and there are surpluses and you lose out. “I guess we’re just kind of Siamese twins of America. Have ' > other cigar, Henry!” (Copyright. 1934, NEA Service. Inc.) NEXT: The Joneses return the Robinsons’ call, gc to the country, and get a better understanding of the effort to save the farms for their owners.

COLDS Go Overnight When You Take The Ri.vhe Thing / A cold doesn t have to run its course and expose you to serious complications. A cold ca.i be routed overnight if you go about it the right way. First of all, a cold being an internal infection, calls for internal treatment. Secondly, a cold calls for a COLD remedy and not for a “cure-all.” Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine is what a cold requires. It is expressly a cold remedy. It is internal and direct—and it does the four things necessary. It opens the bowels, combats the cold germs and fever in the system, relieves the headache and grippy feeling and tones and fortifies the entire system. Anything less than that is taking chances with a cold. Get Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine at any druggist, 30c and 50c. Ask for it by the full name and beware of dealers who offer substitutes.—Advertisement.
