For three years in a row voters have named unemployment first in annual institute tests, but since the quick moves of dictators in Europe, and since the counter moves of British und French, Americans have become increasingly of a new world war. BRUCE CATTONS WASHINGTON, May 17. You in 'most find can anything if you look long Washington enough.

Fred Brenckman, who represents the National Grange in the is interested in farm capital, legislation, of course. But he sees the farm problem as just one aspect of the broader national problem. And he has a hunch that, until the national economy is running smoothly, the farm problem is going to remain unsolved. "America has between 10 and 11 he million people out of work, says. "Count in their dependents, and you have 20 to 30 million people who have practically no money coming In. How can you expect farm prices to be good if that many people have no source of income? v .
