Bankruptcy Threatens U. S.

Willkie Hits Hard at Deficit, Spending and Third Tcrin. Wcodtll Willkit is hittinf hard at 1m third term and ths national dabt

as he wages Ms campaign as fee Republican nominee for the presidency. To Ms mind, both the national debt and the third term are linked together. Both contain threats against fee "American Way of Life"; threats of a possible dictatorship.

Wendell Willkie

In the speeches Mr. Willkie has made since the campaign opened, he has been asserting that every democracy which has (alien in die course of history has been destroyed because of overwhelming debt. “For eight long years we have been going down that road. Now the man who has brought that threat to us is asking for a third term." "We have existed in this counts for 160 years under the great tradition that two terms are enough for any president. Yet now, when of all times democracy and the democratic way of life are facing their greatest test, when of all times we should preserve all of the processes of the democratic system, we have a man who says, ‘I am indispensable/ M "This campaign is a crusade for the preservation of the American way of life. This is a crusade to establish an example of liberty for all the world. It is a crusade against the concentration of power in Washington. It is a crusade against the egotism of the doctrine of the indhq>ensable man." Mr. Willkie's indorsement of the present farm program, with modifications to remove objectionable features of administration, eliminates the question of benefit payments as a campaign issue. But on the debt and the third term, Mr. Willkie has fundamental issues to take to the farmer, home owner and business man. The national debt, rapidly approaching 50 billion dollars, he describes as a mortgage on every farm, home and business in America. He predicts that if President Roosevelt is re-elected, the debt will grow to 75 billion dollars within the next four years. "The great immediate benefit which can be brought to agriculture,” says Mr. Willkie, "is restoration of business-like methods in government and the return of the present ten million unemployed to the payrolls so they again can become r chasers of the farmer's products. believe both things could be brought about. All that is needed is the touchstone of someone who knows about production, who knows that the most glorious thing in the country is not words, but work."

Did Not Produce

That trad* agreement* have not produced foreign markets for American farmers is evidenced by a drop of $104,000,000 in agricultural products exported during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939, as compared with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1934—the year prior to the enactment of the Reciprocal Trade agreement act.

Cotton to Corn

Through regulation, Secretary Wallace has reduced the corn acreage of the corn producing states of the North by 3,139,000 acres. But the farmers of cotton producing states of the South have been encouraged to raise corn instead of cotton, and increased their corn acreage by 3,314,000 acres.

Did Not Work

That New Deal reciprocal trade agreements did not attract buyers Is hhown by the purchase, by countries with which these agreements ware anada, es meat products to the value es 1T,334,000 pounds in 1333, before the agreements were made, and only 11,113,003 pounda In 1333, whan all agreements were la affect

Reduced Farm Tariffs

Reciprocal trade agreements made t? the New Deal reduced the tariff an IBS agricultural products, despite candidate Roosevelt's statement In 103: **l know of no excessively high tariff duties on farm products . . . that should bo lowered.”

The Farm Share

On a per capita basis, the farm population of America must carry about one-fourth, approximately 311,000,000,000, of the national debt. It would take the value of all farm crops for two years to pay the farmers* share.

A Record

Your Share $452.00

Total New Deal expenditures from 1933 ta IMD, according to the President*! report to Congnas, were |6t,773,000,000. That is $453.00 tor each paan« ombib and yhii/f in toe nation.

Hillia, as against that given the Democratic gubernatorial candidate by those who were his competitors, James M. Tucker, Republican nominee for re-election to the office of Secretary of State, is pointing out in his campaign speeches week. “The me:, who were in the state convention race for the Republican nomination for Governor, as rivals of Glen Hillis, have been stumping the state for weeks in behalf of Hillis and the entire Republican ticket/' Mr. Tucker said. “William Jennet, Judge James A. Emmert, George Jeffrey, Clarence Benadum—all are actively campaigning for the success of Hillis and the Republican party. But where are David Lewis and Earl Peters, the men whom Henry Schricker defeated for the Democratic nomination? So far, ther« has been ..o announcement of any speeches jy them in Schricker's behalf?"

Perpetual Motion

Payette, Idaho, city boosters think they have a close approach to perpetual motion in their city-owned well. It not only produces water for irrigation but also the fuel by which the pumping equipment is driven. A huge supply of gasoline-content natural gas underlying a nearby valley is responsible for the phenomenon. An ordinary automobile motor is used to pump the water. It is first primed with ordinary gasoline to start the water containing natural gas up the pipe line. City officials say the unusual system has saved nearly $3,000 in the past year.
