The idea of importing cotton seemed fantastic. Yet that is exactly what is about to be done, as the latest development in the Good Neighbor policy. Oscar Johnson, leading Mississippi cotton planter and former official of the AAA, will go to South America to buy surplus cotton from Peru and Brazil. He carries a checkbook of the Commodity Credit corporation, whose funds for domestic and foreign crop purchases amount to Bombers 'Speak'; The American airmen finally delivered a message which Tokyo understands. Not from an inkwell, but from a bomb rack. The American fliers reminded Japan that the open city of Manila was not a closed grave but an open wound. London, Warsaw, Shanghai and Nanking are avenged because the burning sea of Pearl Harbor is still burning in American hearts. Japan is entitled to receive what she gave. Japn gave no warning at Hawaii and she gave no mercy at Bataan. These are cruel words, but these are cruet times. The blazing cities of the Axis nations are the only lighthouses to civilization. The way to bring peace to our cities is to bring war to theirs. The foundation for international justice must d bombs. be dug with This is the lesson they have asked for and we must drive it home with bayonets: Where our planes can fly, our armies will march. And where our armies can march, their tators will kneel. Rio conference and now Uncle Sam is returning the favor. For some time, department of agriculture officials, fearful of outcries from the cotton belt, were timid about buying foreign cotton. They thought they might get away with purchases for storage in South America but not for imports into the U. S. But two agriculture officials John B. Hudson, president of Commodity Credit, and Sam Bledsoe, aide to conSecretary Claude Wickard ceived the smart idea of putting the plan squarely up to southern congressmen, with Oscar Johnson as the choice for buyer. This worked like a charm.

(Released by Western Newspaper i CHEMlKGY AND AMERICAN FARMS SOME 30 years ago, James Hill for increasing method a proposed American farm production. At that time we had a foreign market for the surplus of all of our farm products. The Hill proposal resulted in the enactment of legislation for the sciemployment of an agricultural entist in each county in the United States the county agent The plan worked. These trained experts, placed by state agricultural scienexperiment stations, carried tific agricultural methods direct to the farmer and applied them directly to each individual farm. inWe had a market for our creased farm production through, and for, two or three years after the close of the first World war. When we stopped lending European nations money with which to buy, they stopped buying and the American farmer suffered. We will not again have a farm market capable of absorbing all of our potential farm products until we can find new uses for those products, or produce those things for which new uses can be found. Industry must come to the relief of the American farm by a utilization of those things that can be produced on the farm, as well as by a utilization of those things that now are considered farm waste. It is through the comparatively new science of Chemurgy that these things can be, and are being, accomplished, thanks very largely to the efforts of one man, Wheeler Mr. McMillen is urging the enactment of legislation that will provide for investigations of new crops which can be grown in the United States, and also for new industrial uses for crops now grown on our farms or from the present waste from these crops. To the agricultural committee of the house of representatives, Mr. McMillen recently made the statement that of the 300,000 known species of plants, not more than 500 are known to have commercial value.- He said that of the many vegetable products imported from foreign countries and of which we are now suffering a severe shortage, most of them could be produced from crops that can be grown on American farms. Mr. McMillen sees agriculture as the next great expanding industry in the United States, with opportunities for every small farmer, and jn this he sees a safeguard for the American philosophy of government. AMERICAN SYSTEM GIVES ALL A CHANCE GOVERNMENT CAN PROVIDE, as our Constitution says, equal opportunity, for every man. Government cannot provide equal ability, initiative, the will to succeed or energy with which to pursue success. Government can so discourage initiative and ability as to make the achievement of success almost, if not entirely impossible. By doing so, it does not raise the standard of the incapable, but by limiting the activities of the capable, will lower the standards of all.
