Ag-riculture. Without such licenses they become the equivalent of bootleggers boot-leggers in the prohibition days and no one can foretell what the reaction reac-tion would be to this. My understanding under-standing is that there Are something like one hundred thousand of these processors in the various lines of agricultural commodities coming com-ing under the Jurisdiction of the Adjustment Ad-justment act In addition to the processors, about nice hundred thousand thou-sand retailers handling these products prod-ucts are subjected to control, directly direct-ly or Indirectly, by AAA licenses. Consequently, we see more than a million who could do business only If the Department of Agriculture saw fit to grant licenses. And when I say the Department of Agriculture, Agricul-ture, in law. It simmers down to the secretary of agriculture. Secretary Secre-tary Wallace's policies and his personal per-sonal attitude, I believe, are not such as to give cause for alarm respecting re-specting administration of these proposed pro-posed licensing provisions. Yet, It has been freely suggested that a time may come when the secretary of agriculture will be neither as good nor as wise as Mr. Wallace. These circumstances and conditions, condi-tions, in the minds of many observers observ-ers here, point only to one thing now; the Adjustment act and the program drafted thereunder Is not as popular as it was before It went Into operation. Judging from correspondence cor-respondence received by representatives representa-tives and senators, the Adjustment program is actually repugnant to some sections. I believe It only fair to state, however, that the Adjustment Adjust-ment program Is not blamed wholly for the Increase In prices but always In times like these and under circumstances cir-cumstances like those to which attention at-tention has been directed there has to be a goat. Apparently that goat Is going to be the Department of Agriculture and its step child, the Agricultural Adjustment adminis tration. While all of the newspapers are printing many columns in review of two years of the Garner Roosevelt admln-Overlooked admln-Overlooked Istration and much attention is being paid to President Roosevelt, it seems to me that one stalwart of the ad-mlnlstratlon-rVlce President John N. Garner Is being somew hat overlooked. over-looked. It seems to me, also, that this should not be the case because all observers agree that Mr. Garner has placed the Vice Presidency of the United States on something of a new plane. Much levity always has been di rected at any man holding the job of Vice President It is true that the Vice President Is seldom, if ever, out front, as the ex pression Is. With Mr. Garner, how ever, It has been decidedly different. I believe, from all of the discussions discus-sions that I have heard since his election, Mr. Garner has filled, and is filling, a very constructive post In this administration! It is not generally known, I think, how much influence Mr. Garner wields in the Roosevelt administration. administra-tion. He sits with Mr. Roosevelt and the other members la the cab inet meetings and there is no doubt among observers here that those men lean upon the long experience which the Vice President has had. .

It was the first full cargo ever to arrive In that port and caused some observers to re mark that it appeared to be ""carrying ""carry-ing coals to Newcastle." This wonld have been true under conditions such as we nsed to have in this country before the inauguration inaugura-tion of the Agricultural Adjustment administration. The AAA has made the difference. Last year, the AAA set about reducing .the corn acreage In this country because it was the conviction of the New Deal that production pro-duction had been too great Twenty Twen-ty per cent curtailment was decreed. de-creed. To accomplish that end, the AAA offered to pay farmers at the rate of thirty cents per bushel for not growing corn. The plan worked as it might naturally be supposed to have worked and there was the expected curtailment of production. But nature took a band and the drouth settled down over the vast corn producing areas of the Middle West So great was this disaster that there is not now sufficient corn to meet domestic requirements. Importation Im-portation of corn resulted, and the port of Baltimore had the novel experience ex-perience of seeing corn shipped In instead of out Secretary Wallace has defended the AAA policies on the ground that they were exceedingly flexible and could be used to Increase or decrease de-crease production as conditions required. re-quired. It seems, however, that corn has a babit of growing only during the summer months and if the production pro-duction in that period Is Insufficient Jhe winter months must witness a shortage. C.

That fellow fel-low that drove that herd of rhelndeer clear across Alaska, moving them for domestic animals to tribes away up near the Artie Ocean, he drove em from some place away down in Alaska to JubI a niblick shot from the North Pole. He was over five years making the trip. I think he had about three thousand thou-sand when he left, and be raised as many as he lost And he got there with more than he left with. He was one whole year Just getting over one mountain range and river. It will keep those people, Esquimos, away up there from starving. Will give them a start In raising these wonderful wonder-ful animals. This lellow that did this was over seventy years old. His drivers used to come and tell him we are lost, and he would say you can see me cant you, well then you are not lost There used to be some wonderful cattle drives from Texas to Montana, Mon-tana, Wyoming and even to the Canadian Ca-nadian Border. But not a five year one. Those old Rbeindeer cow boys did-out did-out go on a horse either. They go afoot, or on skeis, or skates or something. some-thing. You know those guys throw a rope too. Fred Stona was in Greenland Green-land and he saw em. Its a long rawhide raw-hide one, and they Just bundle it all iu one hand and throw it out there like throwing rubbish out of a window win-dow and then commence to hauling in, and they say they are awful apt to have rhoindoer on the end of it 1 never have been to that Alaska. I am crazy to go up there some time. 1 would like to go in the Winter, when those old boys are all snowed in, and 1 could sit around and hear em tell some of those old tails. They have lied about em so much now that I bet they can tell some good ones. They do a lot of flying up there. There is some crack aviators. Wiley Post went back up there this iaat Summer to visit one of em that had helped him out, and they went hunt-lug hunt-lug in a plane. Fred Stone and Rex Beach have been up there a lot, but I nevei did get further north up that ay than about a block north of Main Street in Seattle. I was telling you all away back days ago about me going with Charley Char-ley Chapllu to bear a debate between Will Durant, that wrote the wonderful wonder-ful book the Story of Philosophy. Hs Is Just one of the finest fellows you ever met. He made the same trip across Siberia into Russia that I made. He was debating with an Englishman Eng-lishman named Strachey. This Stra-chey Stra-chey was a Bolshevlkl, but be was very fair in his talk, and it was a brilliant thing to hear. Debates dont settle nothing, but they are enter taining. Proposing something in a debate is Just about like writing a letter to your Congressman, nothing ever comes of It. The debate was called Americas Way Out and it was right up Charleys alley. You know that Chaplin Just reads that deep economic eco-nomic stuff all the time. He told me quite a bit about his new picture that he is Just about half through after six or eight months actual work on it, and two and a half years prepera-tlon. prepera-tlon. It sounded awful funny, and I bet Is. No he is not doing any talking in It Lots of sound in It, but its action is In pantomime. If a man Is the great panto- mlmist in the world, and can make you understand under-stand anything he wants too by action alone, why should be talk. We dont go to a big concert to hear John Mc- Cormack talk. His medloum of expression is song. Besides it would be a dissapointment to millions mil-lions If Chaplin talked, every Nation kinder pictures him as being one of them, and If he talked he would be a dissapointraent to them. They would want to hear him speak In their language. No sir, let Mr. Chaplin alone. He knows what he la doing better than my one person I know of. He knows his career, and he knows his art Thats the trouble with most of us, e gab too much. We are blathering Ul the time. We write too much, we Jo everything too much.
