It reads in part:) The annual - observance of Brotherhood week is a time both of reminder and dedication. It reminds us of the basic religious faith from which democracy has grown that all men are children of one Father and brothers in the human family. It dedicates us to the practice of understanding and justice through which freedom and equality flourish in human society. While we are engaged in a mighty struggle to preserve our free institutions and to extend the boundaries of liberty in the earth, it is good for us to pledge renewed devotion to the fundamentals upon which this nation has been built. Brotherhood must prevail. Our inescapable choice is brotherhood or chaos. On land and sea and in the air, the sons of the United States fight as one though they come from every racial and cultural strain and though they worship at different altars. They are brothers in arms now; soon, pray God, they shall be brothers in peace. We on the home front must see that history shall not repeat itself in postwar hatred and intolerance. It is for us to make the homeland more nearly a land of brotherhood, worthy of the victory our gallant sons and daughters shall surely win. 20-2- Mercerized Cotton 6 asked all their priests to cooperate with the conference program. Many of the major Protestant denominational leaders took a similar position with their clergy and educators. Cooperation by Jewish leaders was most generous. The Methodist Conference on a Just and Durable Peace at Delaware, Ohio, called on all church leaders to work with the conference in Its program. The major denominational religious education authorities are constantly using materials furnished by the conference. These materials include study units for young people and adults covering periods of several weeks discussion as well as single articles. The conference has aided and extended the services of the Bureau for Intercultural Education to public vin Jones had his staff prepare a lengthy report on food prices, farm labor, machinery and other phases of the farm problem.

He pointed out that the only thing getting a higher priority than farm machinery on the war production schedule was the landing craft program, and that the President had ordered landing barges placed ahead of everything else. You wouldnt put farm machinery ahead of landing barges, would you? asked Nelson. Well, it wont do em any good to land if they havent got food, re- Back home in Brooklyn, N.

He suggested that a special period be designated each year by the National conference, that Catholics, Protestants and Jews be invited to consider together practical ways toward attaining it. This idea took fire. The first national observance of Brotherhood week took place in April, 1934. President Roosevelt proclaimed the event publicly as he has done every year for the last 11 years. From the first the conference sought out the cooperation of civic bodies, Parent Teachers associations, schools, colleges, churches and synagogues. Dr. Clergymen of three faiths, Rev.

Undersecretary of War Patterson also tangled briskly with Jones over farm deferments. Patterson pointed out that there were 750,000 boys between 18 and 21 with permanent draft deferments because they were farmers. This Is greater than all the other deferments of the entire country, said the undersecretary of war, adding that, while agriculture should be In a preferred position, it should not be a haven for draft dodgers. Well, the armys got to have food, doesnt it? replied Jones. , HOG MERRY-GO-ROUN- D Hog farmers all over the country dizzy over conflicting directives A farmer turns from Washington. on his radio one morning and learns that Washington wants him to feed hogs heavy. Next, he is asked to market them lean. Next, just as he is snatching the extra corn from the pigs, a hurry call comes from Washington to feed em fat again. Farmers are thinking of staging a little satire to express their feelings. Make Up Your Mind, Entitled Washington, it has the following chorus: How can a man know what you mean, Whether a hog shall be fat or lean? Make up your mind and stick to that, Whether a hog shall be lean or fat! However, the situation is not entirely the fault of the bureaucrats. In normal times, 225 pounds is a good average weight for hogs. The American market likes its bacon lean. But for lend-leas-e purposes, extra production was required, especially to supply lard for the Soviets. So farmers were implored to feed to heavy weights. Came the com shortage, and farmers were implored to stop feeding, market their hogs, and release the com for shipment to dairy and poultry areas. Each change was implemented by shifts in the federal price supports. But the hog run became phenom-enaJanuarys slaughter broke all records. Hogs became a glut on the market Farmers couldnt get near the slaughter houses. They had to keep on feeding. Hogs automatically got heavier, at the rate of 15 pounds a week. But if they got over 300 pounds, they passed the support level, and the packers docked them. Fearing to lose money, farmers jammed their hogs into market channels, and the run became chaotic, So now Washington has swung back again, and is inviting farmers to feed to heavier weights. The support price has been extended to are L 330 pounds. Note: Probably no decision of War Food administration was made with greater reluctance, and the support price will be reduced again as soon as the hog run tapers off.
