I expect that the house committee on agriculture will not punish Mr. Wallace and his subordinates at all, politics being what it is and the nealways being cessity for present. But that does not prevent me from setting down here what Mr. Wallace has done. It ought to be notice to all farmers to take the propaganda with a grain of salt, or several grains of salt. Recently, Secretary Wallace issued a statement harshly criticizing the loan policies of the federal land banks as those policies were carried out under the banks former management. In the language of the street, he kicked those policies highkite. Anyer than the body who criticized the secretary's criticism at once became an agent of the special Interests who are trying to enslave the farmer. In other words, all of the worlds knowledge on the subject of farm credit was tucked away within the brain of the current United States secretary of face-savin- g w'ell-know- n agriculture. But Mr. Wallace did not stop there. With the assistance of one Governor Black of the Farm Credit administration, Mr. Wallace sent his statement about the terrible federal land bank policies through the mails to something like 600,000 farmers who are borrowers from the land banks. The letters, of course went through the mails, free under the federal governments franking privilege. Bill Results Are Subject to Debate Jones-Wheel- er To get back to the secretarys criticism of the former land bank management and the circular letter sent out at public expense: As I said, the secretary appears to have stuck out his neck, lie Included in that letter a thinly veiled appeal for the s 600.000 to write to their representatives and senators in support of a piece of legislation known as the bill. Mr. Wallace said this legislation would make it much easier for the farmers to borrow and it would make their debt burden easier to carry through a reduction in interest rates and through revision of other terms. It was, according to the department of farmer-borrower- Jones-Wheel- ' Must Legislation Secretary of Agriculture Wahas been too anxious to impress his view regarding current farm loan legislation onto congress, according to William correBruckart, Washington spondent.

One of the busiest men in the state department is the expert who follows the tragic fate of Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. He is Hugh Cumming Jr., son of the former surgeon general of the United States, and one of Secretary Hulls abler assistants. , The state departments system of keeping in touch is to divide the world into different areas, assigning an expert to study each area, Thus there is the European division, the Far Eastern division, the Latin American division, and so on. Cumming has charge of the Scandinavian desk in the European division, and last summer was farsighted enough to take a trip through these countries. It was the last time he could have found their terri- tables. He picks up the telephone. Yes, Mr. Minister . . .

The National Grange and the Farm bureau always have been respected and their views generally have been important with members of the house and senate. So, Mr. Wallace is found nursing the group that best fits his immediate purposes. There is another thing to be mentioned. The Jones-Wheelbill, with all its trick phrases, probably will not get through at this session of congress unless all available pressure is put behind it It was to create this support that Mr. Wallace and Governor Black sent out their circulars in criticism of the land bank policies. Since there is no probability of congress being called into extra session and since adjournment of the current session is likely to occur sometime in June, the bill has to be pushed through now, or it will yield no political benefits at the election in November. I believe it is fairly clear from this what Mr, Wallaces suggested program con templates. The new drive for additional au thority for the secretary of agricul ture comes at a time when the cash farm income picture is not pretty. The last figures issued by the de partment of agriculture show that cash farm income for the months of January, February and March totalled $1,696,000,000, whereas it was for the same three $1,581,000,000 months of 1939. That looks like a gain, but wait! According to the department of agriculture, farm subsidies for the first three months of this year were $291,000,000 and for the same three months of 1939, the farm subsidies The cash intotalled $192,000,000. come reported for this year was, roughly, $115,000,000 more than a year ago, and the subsidy paid to the farmers was almost $100,000,000 larger than Jast year. Which, in my book, represents just no gain at all for the farm program. I cannot enthuse, therefore, about the policies that have been called best by Secretary Wallace. He has tried too many bests and, after a lapse of time, they were displaced by another best and another that is certain to solve the farm problem. I am beginning to doubt whether the experts in the department of agriculture know what the word best means. Now, there seems to be no reason to criticize Mr. Wallace for seeking to change the loan policies. That is his r'ght. He lately became the boss of the credit policies because President Roosevelt's government reorganization placed the Farm Credit administration within the department of agriculture. So, while one may disagree with the secretary's program, his right to direct these policies is not open to debate. Concerning the methods he is using, however, much can and should be said.
