The worried, American farmer is going to lick communism! That's what your worried capital is saying today. American representatives abroad and at home are submitting one report after another which register gains in the Soviet battle to build a Communistic world out of chaos. The reports come in from Prague, from Belgrade, from Sofia, from Budapest, showing how each day the iron grip of the secret police is gradually choking off democracy in the little countries. ComReports from Rome tell us of a planned coup of the Moscow-directemunistic party in Italy to overflow the government there.

They are just the men who do the work for which Uncle Sam "pays the wage." They are paid for knowing about American farms and American farmers. Their consensus is embodied in the first line of this dispatch: The American farmer is going to lick communism. I believe the farmer will do it, not because he knows it will pay him in dollars now, ' ' but because he is going to be v' convinced before very long that ' '' X it will pay America. The American farmer will do it by providing the food necessary to halt chaos in Europe just as he proved the verity of the slogan: "Food will win the war."

You will notice that France, when It reduced its Imports (as all European countries are doing as their dollars decline) tried to hold on to her grain, coal and edible fats as long as possible. Even if the Marshall plan were not put into effect in time to pro- vide extra dollars, for their grain purchases, there will be a lag of some months before the farmer is touched in his pockctbook. By that time, if nothing is done, the European countries starve. Free World It at Stake Exports to Europe already have been cut down. That will affect first employment of people in this country in such export industries as radio, electrical appliances and like gadgets which can be spared. It is quite possible that there may be a sufficient increase meanwhile in em ploymer.t in construction or other domestic industries which will absorb this unrn. puiymrnt and keep up the purch-isinpower of the consumer sufficiently to maintain present farm prices In any case, there probably will be a six months lag before prices are greatly affected Eventually, the marginal surplus would be touched (;f Europe is not (stimulated) as it was in 1920 Then, you recall, grain prices dropped, although exports were still heavy. However, the demnr.d at thai time iis not great enough to absorb the tritire American output It is this "marginal surplus" which decides the prices at home. When the demand for the first bushel over and above the domestic surplus ends, it affects the whole price structure.

What do the Russians think of commu-nlze- d "collective farming," agriculture under the Soviets? Well, I asked friend of mine, Paul Hard of the Baltimore Sun. who got this story from Russian, a good Communist, whom he met In Moscow. After a few vodkas the Russky used to tell stories. This was one: Stalin and Roosevelt were driving through the countryside. A cow got Into the road in front of them and wouldn't move. The driver tried to shoo it away but it wouldn't budge. Finally, Stalin got out, went up to the cow and whispered into its ear. The cow gave one frightened look, jumped over the fence and disappeared in the distance. "What did you say to the cow to make It do that?" Roosevelt asked. Stalin smiled. "Don't tell anybody, but I said to her: 'If 'you don't get out of here, but quick, I'll put you on a collective farm!"

What he said in an address before the U. N. general assembly of 55 nations amounted to a call for a showdown with Russia. The Soviets, he intimated, have held to their stubborn, course in the. United Nations long enough. To make the delinquents come to time, Marshall proposed a four point plan of action to the general veto-boun- d assembly: creation of a new IHe suggested committee of 55 countries which would operate without veto and would remain constantly in session to consider world security questions and function as a board of appeals. Potentially, the committee would be a rival to the security council. He announced that the U. S. was ready to relinquish, in all but the gravest cases, its veto privilege and implicitly challenged Russia to do likewise. 2 He blamed Russia for the U. S.- Soviet deadlock In Korea and said that America would submit the case to the general assembly for 3 action. He blamed Russia for using 4. vetoes to protect Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria from being pronounced guilty of meddling in Greece. He said the U. S. would ask the assembly to vote guilt for the three satellites and to demand that they refrain from interfering in Greece. PRICE BATTLE: Exports Cut Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson had a "Horatio at the bridge" air about him as he announced that the government had of grain and made a drastic flour allocations for export in November. The move generally was account-e- a as another noble stand against the forces which are causing domestic food prices to spiral dizzily. This one, however, had the blessings of the grain trade as "a step in the right direction." Reducing the export allocations for November was in line with the government's surprise revision of the nation's 1947 export goal from some 450 million bushels of grain down to 350 million. (In a significant sidelight, Anderson scoffed at the prospect of returning to rationing by pointing out that soch a program could not be put into effect before the need for it would be over.l Next move, it was hinted, would be an attempt by Secretary Anderson to put through a sharp reduction of total food exports not Just grain as the only practical way of pulling down prices. The U. S. state department, however, committed to its "save Europe" program, no doubt would object vehemently to any such action. NO EXPLOSION POSSIBLE After-Effec- ts fact, that they have been considering of recommending reinstatement of price controls. This step also has been considered by members of the Truman cabinet, and they are not at all happy about it. They feel that new price controls never would get by congress, would result only in more unless accompanied by rationing. And nobody wants to have rationing come back. However, the council of economic advisers, a group of experts picked from neither political party, is concerned not with what congress may or may not think, but solely with heading off depression. And they informed the President: 1. That the present runaway prices coupled with inflation will continue for some time. 2. That continuation will lead to a real depression, rather than a recession. They also cautioned that the public which makes up the vast majority of the nation's consumers has been using up its savings, because prices are so high that they can't pay their bills out of present income.

It is the beginning of a new phase of nuclear development, he said. Next step is to create machines that develop such high energies that man will be able to create motter out of energy, thus reversing the process of the atom bomb which turns matter into energy. "Apparently the prospects for entering this next energy region are good. Thus we may look forward to even more amazing developments in the fir Iris of nuclear science," Dr Seaborg predicted all being done rather quietly. For instance, when the Paris conference of needy nations started planning to demand 29 billion dollars from the U. S. in four years, the state department did not issue statements, make speeches or get the ambassador on the phone. The Marshall policy worker, George Kennan, was sent over quietly by air, and he got American officials into a conference and worked the publicity on our the problem viewpoint from there, letting the Europeans know of the administration to wring money and concessions from the Republican congress and the primary necessity of by Europe. it's powerful nourishment!
