The popular conception that colonies in Africa offer the European colonizing nations an outlet for their excess populations has been proved more or less false. If ith all the colonization and empire building of 400 years, only one person in 50 on the African continent today is u hite. There are in all only about 3,000.000 whiles. It is also doubtful that the Dark Continent nnd Us people present with continued development this market will be built up. But such development takes an enormous amount of capital. That Is the one big disappointment to Italy In her conquest of Ethiopia. The land, exclusive of the central plateau, Is poor, the natural resources are ridiculously less than they have been estimated in (lie popular fancy of those who seek to justify II Duce's bloody war. Colonization Is Difficult. Mussolini claimed a double purpose In his conquest of the ancient kingdom of Ahyssina room for ills overcrowded pie to expand, and the obtainment of raw materials for Italian Industries. But Italian people are apparently not so willing to become colonists In an unpleasant and uncomfortable land. In Eritrea, which has been Italian now for 50 years, there are only about UK) colonists. The entire Ognden area, uilh the prounces of Bonin and Bale, so completely conquered by the forces of General Graziuni. are of little or no lalue, being principally desert. He has not yet moted into the rich agricultural regions of the Arussi plateau, al- though that is scheduled to be his next step. There hns been some romantic gossip of vast oil deposits In Ethiopia, especially in the Ogaden dis- trict, but these have been largely deWhat mineral nied by the facts. resources are present will he found for the larger part in the Danakil country to the northeast, but even these are uncertain. There is some salt, which Italy mined during the war at a cost all out of proportion to its value in peace times. Italy Must Aid Colonists. The important part of Ethiopia is the central plateau, whose population is tlie traditional enemy of the tribes on t he outskirts below. Here it is that Mussolini plans to put most of his colonists. The country is agriculturally rich anl the climate, while it is not pleasant to white people b.v any means, is at least livable. While the plateau may he said to be conquered, It is not yet entirely occupied hy Italian armies, the Gojatn and Shoa being still unoccupied. If the colonization of the plateau is to be successful, the colonists must be given a great deal of aid The fact by the mother country. that tlie colonists will start from scratcli will be a boon to Italian industry, for tlie demand for heavy goods for the building of a new nation should give millions more work. It is believed that tlie colonists will he able to raise cereals and live stock, finding a market for them in Italy and selling them for prices which will be higher than tlie world market for the same goods One of the principal problems facing the new Ethiopian emperor and his t iceroy. General Badoglio, is whul to do with the natites. It is hardly possible that they can be driven from the land; they certainly will not be allowed to compete with the colonists on equal terms, for they will be able to work for far smaller compensation, the Italians being unable to compete with their low standard of tiling. The situation will he much the samemas that which the Japanese peasants found in attempting to colonize Manchuria. With the exception of some little platinum and gold, the mineral resources of Ethiopia are largely a fable. The wealth, If any, which It will add to Italy will have to be worked out of the land In hard Italian sweat and with the capitaliza- tion of hundreds of millions of dollars. Italy hasnt got tlie hundreds of millions. But she has now fulfilled what Jlussolinl says has been tlie dream of Fascism for 15 years. Italy has become an empire. It sounds big. and it earns I! Dnce invaluable plaudits from his people. Union supersede policy worked tlie unconstitutional AAA, and tlie speed with which tlie department lias developed tlie early phases of its new program is noteworthy. It lias not wasted any time, nor could It waste time, In order to make tlie new program effective In tills crop year. While the work of policy making bas gone on at an unusual speed for governmental procedure, I inn afraid it cannot be said that tlie soundness of Its program can be In the same manner. commended Some of the soil building practices proposed under the of aid to the farmer undoubtedly will work out, but there are others about which there Is much doubt Indeed, already It has been pointed out that certain of the practices proposed are vulnerable and are likely to lead to serious trouble both for agriculture and the governmenL More than a score of the states were included In the first set of rules and regulations governing soil building practices and rates of payment. The others are nearing completion and will be promulgated at an early date. But tlie first block of rules and regulations and rates of payment establish the general outline of tlie department's Ideas, and It can be said, I think, that In these rules and regulations (tlie government must lay down general provisions) lies the trouble. They are replete with that which we usually describe ns red tape and red tape never has failed to cause trouble. Iractices for which farmers may receive payments vary from state to state. They include the new seeding legumes and grasses. The plowT-inunder of green manure crops, the planting of forest trees, the eradication of perennial noxious weeds aud, in certain areas, a variety of special soil handling methods such as listing, strip cropping and fallowing, terracing or approved summer fallow. In addition, farmers in certain dry land areas have the option of substituting some of the practices for acreage of soil conserving crops. In announcing the new practices and rates of payment, the Agricultural Adjustment administration declared that the policies follow in general the recommendations made to the Adjustment administration by the several state committees. It was declared that the sentiment throughout has been to adapt the general plan to the specific needs of the states in conformity with the approved methods which have been tested by the land grant colleges, tlie experiment stations and soil conservation service. The Adjustment administration considered that these three agencies furnished the best foundation, for the construction of the generally new program. It follows, therefore, that a considerable part of tlie new setup comes by way of expansion of the old soil conservation service which has had much experience in that work. It cannot be said, however, that the new phases have been tested nor is It more than conjecture how the farmers themselves will take to the plans now offered. g Just as the soil conserving practices vary, so do the rates of as between the several states. Payment Rates Vary It is the claim of the Adjustment administration that variation In rates is due largely to variations In the cost of seed. In rates of seeding or In differences in the requirements with respect to soil building Bates of payment for practices. soil conservation on Irrigated land are higher than for those on dry land and likewise long standing agricultural practices have been taken Into account In calculating the rates to be paid in various sections to offset the greater or less expense to which farmers normally are put In producing their crops. Generally In the dry land states, the seeding and growing of perennial legumes, such as alfalfa, will net the farmer about $2.00 per acre but In Irrigated districts the rate of payment varies from $3.00 to $4.00 per acre. For most states, the rate for biennial legumes Is $1.50 on land and from $2.50 to $3.00 an acre on Irrigated land. Bates of payment for growing sweet clover are somewhat less as are the rates of payment for growing annual legumes. The rates for plowing under green manure crops are from $1.00 to $2.50 an acre, depending upon the amount of growth which is turned nndcr. For planting forest trees on crop land, farmers are pay-me- d these methods of soil conservation, strip cropping aud fallowing command about $1.00 an acre of benefit to tlie funner while terracing will be paid for around the basis of $2 iK) or $3 CK) an acre. Other states, as they are brought under tlie soil conservation program, may expect rates similar to these for tlie first half of the country. It Is obvious, however, that In tlie more thickly populated areas where agriculture is carried on In a more concentrated way, new and different practices must be prescribed. It is certain, also, that these practices must be made to take into account the varying types of crops where farming is done on smaller acreage per farm or In the fruit and truck garden areas. From this program, two sets of conclusions have been drawn. One school of thought maintains Opinions that the regulations Differ are simple and tlie other easy of enforcement; group argues that It is utterly Impossible to apply rules and regulations, administered from a central bureau In Washington, to the whole country and yet enable flexibility of management sufficient to meet the countless problems that will arise. One conclusion Is that by administration of tlie rules aud regu- -' lotions through state aud county organizations and with the aid of state experiment stutlons. Individual farmers can be advised and can work out their Individual problems ease. The other school of thought contends that this very fact means a permanent maze of different applications of the rules and regulations both as to language and intent; this group likewise maintains that favoritism will permeate the whole structure and that there will be Injustice, 111 will and politics in the way the local organizations deal with the farmers. While the policy makers In the marble palace known as tbe Department of Agriculture contend that the soil conservation program will spell the end of surpluses and will accomplish better prices for what the farmers produce, another argument stresses the claim that the new program means dislocation of agricultural output and the market to which that output normally goes. As the new soil conservation plans unfold, those who doubt their etlicacy point to Find New numerous new Dislocations dislocations that are comparable to those of tlie old AAA which I have just enumerated. For example, It Is claimed, and there seems to be justice in the claim, the placing of a premium on growth of hay crops such as alfalfa, alsike and clover, can mean only an overabundance of those crops. I do not say that it Is certain to occur, but If conditions repeat themselves, the prices for hay crops in the market are due to fall. The law of supply and demand still governs regardless of theory ant) regardless of the attempts of bureaucrats to plan what the farmer shall or shall not grow. If world consumption falls low, crops of hay will be valuable. The chances, however, seem to be wholly In the other direction. Time , alone can tell how this thing will work out, but I cannot believe any person or any person who analyzes the program through to Its ultimate end can say that It Is free from weaknesses. The tragedy of the thing is that government is experimenting on the farmers. With that I am not in accord and never can be. Further, while I dislike to disparage honest efforts, I am afraid the new soli conservation program embodies some politics as well as efforts to help agriculture. If It were a purely critical report of the soil conservation policies that I am making to you, I would be Inclined to add to the above analysis the assertion that these plans embody too much organization. 1 have observed government administration from close at hand through a ntimber of years. There Is one conviction that I have gained. That conviction Is that every time a new policy Is proposed that requires the scattering of government-paid execuadministrators, tives, field agents. Inspectors and countless other nomadic Individuals, clothed with official authority, throughout the country. Just then does the policy fail of Its purpose. Many hands may make light work, but many heads, partly politicians, make a mess. sound-thinkin- g Western Newspaper 0 aloa. |
