After what is believed to be the worst air raid of the entire war on the capital of the British empire, workers are shown clearing up the debris in London, while the work of digging the dead and wounded out of the ruins was still going on.

That seven times the cost for 1933. 1940 the total amounted to an I j average of $261 per farm, but the farmers did not get all of that County administration costs amount--I ed to $104,020,000, an average of Just about $4,000 per county. That coun-ty administration cost represented 8 per cent of the total government ap-- I propriation, an Increase from 2V4 per cent in 1935. These county ad-ministration costs do not cover the salaries of county agents. And still the farm problem is not solved. We have on hand today more than one full year's average crop of cot-ton and practically one year's crop of wheat, with the surplus In all products growing each year, our world markets decreasing, and ag-ricultural Imports from other coun-tries continuing, and in some lines increasing. Each year we are importing ag-ricultural products which we can, and to some extent do, raise in his country to the extent of 1 billion dollars. If the American larmer was encouraged to raise the prod-ucts we are now importing, if he were paid a small price for raising them, and then given a protected market in which to sell them, we might find a solution to the Ameri-can farm problem. The farmer is not seeking govern-ment charity. He is asking only fair play. Manufacturers were giv-en protected markets to offset the wage scales in this country as com-pared with other nations. The Amer-ican farmer wants the same kind of consideration and should he get it, would be better off financially than he is now, even though the govern-ment is paying him for limiting pro-duction an amount that far exceeds the entire cost of government 25 years ago. The American farmer wouid pre-fer to be paid for what he dos, rath-er than for what he does net do. He likes to stand on his own feet when that is at all possible. Some day both major political parties may make that discovery. TJ. S. WILL BE ONLY CREDITOR NATION LATE IN OCTOBER of 1018, An-dr- e Tardieu, then a member of the French cabinet, said to me hi Paris: "France cannot again be the cus-- , tomer of America that she has been in the past. Our lack of resources will force us to produce our own foods and our own raw materials. We must grow our cotton in the Niger valley of Africa and in Indo China. More intensive cultivation of French, or French colonial farms must produce our foods, unless America is willing to finance us." That is just what happened to the foreign market of American farm One Heart and ) Let us, then, fellow-c- t with one heart and one: us restore to social ii that harmony and afe: out which liberty and ei self are but dreaij Thomas Jefferson. products, not only in France, but in other European nations. When the present war is over, there will be nothing left in Europe with which to buy. The United States will be the one big creditor nation of the world. We must learn the methods of a creditor nation. We must buy if we would sell, and we must not make the American farmer carry all the load. Today we buy farm products from foreign countries that we may sell those countries manufactured products That is not fair to the American farmer. He is entitled to his home market.

NAZI LAKE Tell-tal- e signs accumulate that the next big Hitler drive is to make the Mediterranean an Axis lake. The most obvious, of course, is Hitler's unconcealed plan to launch subma-rine and bombing raids against Suez from his new base at Salonika and from the Greek islands. Secret plans for closing the other end of the Mediterranean have been evident for some time along the Spanish border, where big guns are ready to be rushed against Gibral-tar. Most significant of these prepara-tions, however, has not leaked out. It shows how extensive are Hitler's ambitions around the Mediterrane-an. For some weeks now, Nazis have been busy dismantling the air-planes of General Weygand in North Africa. Every morning the French wake up to And a magneto missing from one machine, a carburetor from another. Gradually, the essen-tial parts of this air fleet have evap-orated. Hitler is taking no chances on let-ting what remains of the French air force get into British hands. There now seems to be little ques-tion that Hitler plans to take over French possessions in North Africa, together with French naval bases, as soon as the time is ripe. Note U. S. military observers be-lieve the Mediterranean will be ripe first, next Russia. That is the way the Hitler time-tabl- e looks today. IRISH ARMS The visit to Washington of Irish Defense Minister Frank Aiken, on an arms purchasing mission, was no boon to congressmen of Irish de-scent who voted against lend-leas- e. He has pointedly avoided them, and instead gone out of his way to hobnob with the members of con-gress who supported the bill par-ticularly House Democratic Leader John McCormack, who sponsored the measure, and Rep. Jim of Pennsylvania. The tall, genial Irish minister has been eloquent in praise of British courage and President Roosevelt's policy of making the United States the "arsenal of democracy." He wants to draw on that arsenal to arm Ireland against the Nazi men-ace. The Irish are as adamant as ever, Aiken says, against turning over their urgently desired bases to the British. But he points out that Ire-land is Britain's "breadbasket," having provided one-thir- d of its food, considerable clothing, and other ne-cessities since the war began. Ireland proposes to mobilize an army to battle off any Nazi attacks, if the necessary equipment can be obtained from Britain and the Unit-ed States. Britain has agreed to fur-nish some, and Aiken hopes to get the rest here. He says he has "sev-eral hundred million dollars" to spend for anti-aircra- ft guns, tanks, rifles, ammunition; also for wheat and food. Note Ireland has an army of 250,-00- 0 volunteers, but only 25,000 are properly equipped and garrisoned. Most of the men are local "security guards," who train only once a week. LEND-LEAS- E KINGTIN Kingpin in directing the lend-leas- e program is Harry Hopkins, gaunt intimate of the President. Living and working in the White House, Hopkins is Roosevelt's per-sonal spokesman on all lend-leas- e matters and holds all the reins. No move is made without his knowledge and approval. In inner circles Hop-kins is referred to as lend-leas- e "co-ordinator," but actually he is the boss-ma- n for the President. Hopkins' chief assistant is Maj. Gen. James H. Burns, one of the army's procurement aces. The test in passing on allied re-quests for supplies is whether they will also be useful for our own de-fense. The government's policy is to provide all equipment and ma-terials possible, but not to disrupt our own defense program. An example of the emphasis on standardization of the armament of the U. S. and Britain was a recent request for shells. It was turned down because 75 mm. is the caliber of the guns now chiefly in use in our army. Production of 37 millimeter shells would have re-quired extensive retooling, only to turn out ammunition of no value to us. The actual placing of lend-leas- e orders is being handled through three offices; munitions by the na-vy's bureau of supplies and accounts and by the bureau of ships; and army supplies by Under Secretary of War Robert Patterson.
