When the southern plants were promore cotton than could be ducing profitably marketed, the agricultur al department Issued an eaicx provicing that a federal license nmsi secured before a cotton sale be made, and fixing a muu- mum amount for which a license would be issued. A tenant farmer Alabama had raised as his total v .w,. crop one oaic ui r.ot sell it because he could not get a license for so small an amount His local paper carried the name and address of William a Washington correBruckart, a last resort, the ten-aAs spondent farmer wrote to Bruckart, asking that he intercede with the department. It was a pathetic letter, telling of a sick wife and no assets with which to provide comforts for her; of his year of effort being represented in that one bale of cotton. Bruckart took the letter to the then secretary of agriculture, but the secretary told him the rules prohibited the issuing of a sales license for so small an amount. Bruckart insisted that the man who made the rules could, if he wished, modify them or make an exception. He told the secretary that unless that small cotton farmer was permitted to sell his one bale crop that he, Bruckart, would have that letter printed In the more than 2,000 country newspapers for which he was writing. The license was Issued. The secretary could not afford to take a chance on arousing public sentiment against his brand of regimentation.

Mental lllnett Cliniea j J j THE FOUNDATION for that inflation we are fearing is not the spiralling wage and price scales. They are but a visible evidence of the approach of the monster that has been created by our monetary system. Constantly Increasing, and printing constantly depreciating, press money is the real foundation, just as it has been in the past in our own and other countries. We had it following the Civil war days. Europe had it following World War I. and the disease in all cases was cheap printing press money for which there was no standard of value. It was not that wages and prices went up. It was that the amount of commodities the dollar would buy went down because the dollar had no standard of value. The more we have of these decreasing value dollars the higher will go wages and prices. We have far too many of these cheap printing press dollars now. In 1933 all the money In circulation In this country amounted to less than 6 billion dollars. By 1945 the amount bad jumped to 29 billion dollars. In 1933 the per capita money In circulation was $42 for each one of us. In 1945 It was $240. The Increase was In federal reserve notes, aad they are purely and simply printing presa money. In 1933 the amount of such notes was 3 billion dollars. By 1945 that had grown to 20 billion. Those 26 billion are only as good as the government's promise to pay. So long as the operations are In the red that promise to pay grows weaker day by day. A stop to deficit financing, a redaction In outstanding government obligations, will make that promise to pay more substantial, and help to avoid inflation by retiring some of our printing press money. .W"H"AW Jn ,ddltlon to 32 clinicg already ,uhorized toe Veterans' Uation hai directed the ment Qf f mary such necesgary fof ae 70 adminis-b- e establish-coul- d clinJc regional offices of mentai ui-i- n treatment among war veterans. .nnnunre-men- the need for treatment of these emotional and nervous diseases is evident and experience in civilian practice both before and during the war indicates that a majority of such cases can be treated in 'clinics without hospitalization.

New Jersey is an empire In Its own ri?ht. the "Mighty Atom" among the states of this nation. It has great industrial areas where "Made in Ne Jersey" is stamped on thousands of products. Its agriculture is highly developed. New Jersey provides homes for its own workers as well as for tens of thousands who have a business address In New York City or Philadelphia. Its broad highways, each a scenic and historic route, offer motor trips along the coastline of the great Atlantic, or through the hills and valleys, forests and rms. orchards and parks of the interior. In New Jersey, one may have the bustle ef the city, the vibrant life of seashore resorts, or the quietude of quaint, forgotten towns where time has stood still. There Is Bordentown where the 19th century still lives on every street, as well as small villages resting solidly In the pockets of northern mountains. , in New There is much for every American to Jersey, where Gen.

When the early settlers arrived in New Jersey from Europe, they found the Indians growing corn, pumpkins, gourds, tobacco and beans. Taking a lesson from the natives, the settlers cleared the land, imported seed and livestock from across the sea, and developed an important agricultural colony. It became "the Garden State" c the colonies. Today, New Jersey has prosperous small farms and high types of agricultural specialization.

Anderson becomes the new boss of the food price control Although the law places final deconauthority in the three-ma-n trol board, the cumbersome administrative process gives the secretary exclusive authority to recommend to the board. In all likelihood the policy of the board will be set in accordance with the policy of Mr. Anderson. One of the secretary's well known views is the elimination of food subsidies. As a matter of fact, present prices on foods, except some which have soared beyond all reason and which are in short supply, are believed by the agricultural boss to reflect the ceiling prices of 8.

Its incomparable seacoast, its beautiful lake and mountain country, its extensive fishing and hunting grounds, as well as the innate hospitality of its people two out of five of whom own their homes furnish proof enough of the greatness of New Jersey, the "Mighty Atom" among the states of this nation. This brings into focus again the endless argument, is it cheaper for the general public to pay government subsidies than to pay for a 10 per cent increase in food prices at the retail level? And the answer is, it is cheaper for the little fellow, those millions whose income is $3,000 a year and under, because he doesn't pay the subsidy in federal taxes. At any rate, the government at this writing is not paying out a dime for food subsidies on meat or dairy products. Subsidies went out with the old OPA in June. If, however, meat and other products go back under price control, it will be a question for the agriculture boss and the decontrol board to decide whether or not to reinstitute subsidy payments as a policy or to do something else about control.

Opposed to Subsidies Farm organizations and the dairy industry have been fighting for elimination of food subsidies for years, declaring that the treasury should not pay the public's grocery bill and that farm produce should go to market and be sold at a fair price fixed by supply and demand. They now have won that fight, at least temporarily. Subsidies are off, These subsidies in two categories nave amounted to a little over three billion dollars annually. In theory farmers are supposed to make up for loss of this three billion in increased prices. But will this be true? There is every reason to believe that the cost of everything the farm er buys will rise considerably, With the old OPA gone, cost ab sorption by industry is also out and this means quick price gains for many goods to as high as 9 per cent. The farmer gained only 10 per cent by elimination of subsidies. And in addition there will be many In creases in manufacturing costs which later will be seen in the re tail selling price . . . fencing, build ing materials, all kinds of farm ma chinery, commodities of every de and there are many scription experts here who predict at least a 15 per cent rise in these things the farmer buys to equal the 15 per cent increase in food costs. ... Older So the question of whether the farmer is better off with or without subsidies is still a moot question and likely will be. One thing, however, the average farmer, independent as he is, may feel better in knowing that the price he receives from his products, whether they are high or low prices, Is not in part a government hand-ou- t Meanwhile, farm leaders here are getting set through these next few months for the new 80th congress, which convenes January 3. They have important measures, passed over oy tne old congress, which they will reintroduce for action a new parity definition, which is the legal basis for price support. A long range program, measured in the light of war and in the new concept ofexperience the world picture for agriculture Is likely to develop.
