Something for Nothing
POLITICAL, BUSINESS AND
FARM leaders in California are
awakening to the fact that Harold
Ickes, when secretary of the in-
terior, and the federal government
aold the state a lemon in the guise
of “something for nothing.” The
price that is to be paid was inti-
mated by one of Ickes’ aids when
he said: “The gaining of California
water and power was the first step
toward political control of the
atate.” That is a portion of the
price the state is to pay for that
“something for nothing.”
The central valley of Cali-
fornia, lying between the high
Sierras and the coast range,
contains many thousands of
acres of productive so
has water. The water is avail-
able to provide both irrigation
and power when it is controlled
and utilized. It is California’s
water. No other state can have
any possible claim to any part
of it. Its utilization for irriga-
tion can benefit no other peo-
ple than those in that central
valley. It is a California prob-
lem only.
Along came Ickes and promoted
the idea that it was something the
federal government should do.
The people of California eagerly
accepted that Ickes idea. They
were more than willing the people
of other states should do the pay-
ing for the salvaging for California
of the state’s water resources.
It promised “something for
nothing.”
While the project is only par-
tially completed the federal
clamps are closing. The federal
bureau of reclamation is call-
ing the tune to which Cali-
fornia farmers and others must
dance.
California is a state of many big
farms. They are a legacy of Span-
ish land grants which were recog-
nized in the treaty with Mexico,
signed following the close of the
Mexican war. Under the rules laid
down by the reclamation bureau,
no farm of more than 160 acres
will be supplied with water from
the irrigation system. At the price
and under the conditions the gov-
ernment will supply that 160 acre
farmer, he can not afford to buy
pieces of that big farm, even if it
were offered. The price of water,
based on the cost of the section so
far completed, is six times as much
as the cost in the state irrigated
sections. It is a price for a lease
only. No permanent water rights
are acquired by individuals or
groups. The water can stop at any
moment the Washington bureau-
crats may say the word, or for
any reason they may assign.
To date the federal government
has spent $280,000,000 on the proj-
ect, with an estimated total cost
of one billion dollars when com-
pleted of which $440,000,000 has
been authorized by congress.
Now the people of the state, in-
cluding the farmers of the central
valley, are clamoring to. the legis-
lature to throw the Washington
wastrels out and have the state
complete the project, which can
be done at a small fraction of the
federal government’s figure.
The people of California have
found that “something for
nothing” offer was a “phony.”
The price they are asked to
pay is the control of their own
water resources, and along
with that control comes regi-
mentation and excessive dol-
lar costs, plus their state’s loss
of sovereignty. A price beyond
limit.
It is but another of the many
illustrations that the federal gov-
ernment has nothing to give away,
though it makes attractive offers
that in the end prove phoney.
Another and much worse proposi-
tion is now awaiting action by con-
gress. It is the Columbia valley
administration. If passed it will
prove a great injury to the states
of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
Montana than has been true of the
central valley project in California.
The^possibilities are that congress
will pass that legislation. If so, the
federal governemnt will take over
control of the water resources of
those four states, and their people
will be subject to the bureaucratic
rulings and regimentation of Wash-
ington. It too will call for payment
of a heavy price.

Gen. MacArthur wants a peace
treaty for the Japs and the country
turned back to them. It can ma-
terially ease up on the American
tax payers when that is done.
That American workers vote as
Americans and not at the dictation
of labor union leaders was again
demonstrated in the recent Penn-
sylvania congressional election. In
the district Johnstown is the one
large city. In it is located the Beth-
lehem steel plants, employing some
10,000 CIO members. 1 That city
gave the CIO candidate a majority
of about 1,400, while the union
leaders had expected 15,000. The
district, as a whole elected a Re-
publican by more than 10,000. La-
bor did not vote with the bosses.
-WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS--
Control Atom, Keep Alert: Baruch;
Senate Clashes on Price Supports;
U. S. Seeks Method to End Strikes
(EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of
Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.)
A-CONTROL:
Truly Effective'
After President Truman’s an-
nouncemnt on September 23 of an
atomic explosion in Russia, U.S.
citizens worked up a kind of pecu-
liar, detached tension that seemed
to have been born out of the ex-
pectation that somebody—maybe
Bernard Baruch—ought to say
something significant pretty soon
about the world and the atom bomb.
And Mr. Baruch, who is the au-
thor of the plan for international
atomic control that was rejected
by the Soviets in 1946, measured
up to the demand for an opinion by
coming out with what looked to be
some practical suggestions.
PRIMARILY, he urged that
“nothing less than a truly effective”
system of international control be
put into effect.
He supplemented this major point
with three other recommendations
as to how to face up to the Russian
atom:
1. Pending such “safe and sure”
control, make every effort “to
maintain our overwhelming advan-
tage” in the development of atomic
weapons.
2. Re-examine our strategy for
peacemaking.
3. Enact a standby mobilization
plan, including civilian defense,
immediately.
BASIC IDEA, of course, is for the
U.S. to do its moral best with the
olive branch, but in the meantime
keeping a gun handy, just in case.
Baruch’s conception of a mobili-
zation plan would include price,
wage and rent controls, rationing
priorities and anti-profiteering
measures.
Russia’s counter-proposal to in-
ternational control—the outlawing
of the bomb and international
agreements to destroy all existing
stocks of the atom bomb—over-
simplifies the problem, Baruch
said.
HE WARNED that a would-be
aggressor, easily c o u'l d divert
“peaceful” atomic material to “in-
ternational blackmail and destruc-
tion.”
STRIKES:
Economy Throttled
The history making double basic-
industry strikes—coal and steel—
were rapidly throttling the nation’s
economy as the first week of the
twin work stoppage drew to a close,
causing:
1. The layoff of about 100,000
white collar workers whose cleri-
cal services no longer were needed.
2. Furlough of 49,829 railroad
men.
3. Curtailment of Packard motor
company operations.
4. Reduction of steel output to an
anemic 8.2 per cent of capacity.
5. Daily loss of 30 million dollars
worth of business in the steel and
coal industries alone.
6. Daily loss of 11 million dollars
in wages to nearly 900,000 striking
steel and soft-coal workers.
President Truman had indicated
that he planned no direct govern-
ment intervention in the strikes,
but Federal Mediator Cyrus Ching
was trying to figure out a new at-
tempt to settle the disputes.
With the steel mills and coal
mines idle, Ching’s massive prob-
lem was to find a workable solution
first of all to the pension demands
of Murray’s United Steelworkers
and Lewis’ United Mine Workers.
Making it more difficult was the
fact that neither the industry lead-
ers nor the unions were in mood
to make any concessions.
An added grim note was sounded
by Philip Murray, CIO leader,
when he warned that still another
500,000 of his steelworkers would be
going on strike by the end of Octo-
ber unless the company-financed
six-cent pension and four-cent insur-
ance program was accepted by the
steel industry.
PERCENTERS:
5, That Is
What happened to the 5 per cent-
er inquiry that was hotter than a
two-dollar deep freeze box a month
or two ago?
According to Senator Hoey (D.,
N.C.), who heads the special senate
subcommittee which studied wheth-
er federal buying was improperly
influenced, the probe probably
won’t be resumed this year; al-
though the senator indicated that he
might release a report on it soon.
"FOR ALL practical purposes
the investigation already is com-
pleted,” said Hoey.
However, the subcommittee was
still waiting to get the testimony
of James V. Hunt and David Ben-
nett, both of whom were described
as being too ill to take the stand.
Hunt is the Washington manage-
ment counselor who allegedly col-
lected fat fees for his help in seek-
ing government contracts for
others. He was the one who said,
“All I have to sell is influence.”
Bennett is head of the Chicago
perfume house which footed the
bill for several home freezers pre-
sented in 1945 to Maj. Gen. Harry
Vaughan. «
Confidences
Trygve Lie (left), secretary
general of the United Nations,
chats with Bernard Baruch at
dinner during which Lie re-
„ ceived the third annual award
of the American Association for
the United Nations for dis-
tinguished service to the U. N.
HIGH SUPPORTS:
Good or Bad?
Despite worried administration
warnings against setting farm price
supports so high as to “price the
farmer out of the market,” the sen-
ate went ahead to hit a new parity
ceiling for six basic groups.
Senators Young (R., N.D.) and
Russell (D., Ga.) spearheaded the
successful drive for an amendment
to peg support prices on wheat, cot-
ton, rice, corn, tobacco and peanuts
at 90 per cent of parity. Previous
support prices on those crops had
been 75 per cent of parity.
SEN. SCOTT LUCAS of Illinois,
senate Democratic leader and voice
of the administration in this case,
had opposed the Young-Russell
amendment to Sen. Clinton Ander-
son’s bill and had fully expected
that it would be defeated in the
senate.
But after a lusty battle, the meas-
ure was sent back to the agricul-
ture committee where attempts
were made to work out a compro-
mise.
Senators Anderson, Aiken and
Lucas had argued that a high-sup-
port measure, keeping food prices
high, might one day cause consum-
ers to rebel and possibly throw out
the entire price support program.
Backers of the 90 per cent parity
legislation contended that any ser-
ious lag in farm prices could set
off a depression affecting the whole
national economy.
THERE MATTERS stood for the
time being. Prior to the senate
fight on the support bill, however,
Sen. Scott Lucas had delivered
himself of an opinion that could,
under the right circumstances, turn
out to be prophetic:
“When the government continues
to subsidize a little more and a lit-
tle more all the time—without stick-
ing to a farm program dealing with
the basic Commodities that can be
controlled—you are taking a chance
that the whole thing may be struck,
down.”
BIRTHDAY:
U. N.'s Fourth
October 24 is United Nations Day.
The organization, wherein repose
the hopes for peace of all free and
thinking men, is just four years old
—four years old as the passage of
time goes, but already ageless in its
experience and the good it has ac-
complished.
WHAT HAS THE United Nations
done since it first convened during
the immediate aftermath of World
War II in 1945?
First of all, it has constantly kept
the hope and prospect of peace
alive in the minds of the world’s
people. It has come to mean, to the
common man, a functioning object
lesson that “working it out is better
than shooting it out.”
The U.N. already has definitely
stopped three wars—in India, in
Palestine and Indonesia.
IT IS LEADING millions of non-
self-governing territories toward
the realization of self-government.
On the basis of the best evidence,
the U.N.-has contributed enormous-
ly toward the job of keeping the
peace won through the bloodshed of
World War II.
The birthday of the United Na-
tions—October 24—is a day to fix
in memory. Odds are that in terms
of human achievement and benefit
and the dignity of man, history will
write that date as being one i of un-
paralleled significance and im-
portance.
? Current Events ?
Here are five questions, based on
recent happenings in the news,
which are practically impossible to
answer—unless your children give
you enough time to read your
newspaper before they start play-
ing tug-of-war with it. Anyway, try
them on your I. Q. for size.
1. Yugoslavia, aided by the
U.S., recently bid for election to
a seat on the U.N. security coun-
cil. How many elective mem-
bers are there on the security
council?
2. News from London following
the devaluation of the pound
made frequent mention of the
“shadow cabinet!” What is it?
3. U.S. aid to foreign countries
in fiscal 1949 totaled 5 billion
dollars. Would you say Britain,
Germany or France received the
most?
4. Oklahoma voted recently to
keep its 42-year-old statewide
prohibition law. How many oth-
er all-dry states are there?
5. Guam, a U.S. possession for-
merly run by the navy, recently
inaugurated its first civilian gov-
ernor. When did the U.S. get
Guam?
ANSWERS
I. Of the II seats, five are held
permanently, six are elect!
tlve membei
ve. Elec-
Argentina,
tlve. members now are Argentina,
Canada, Cuba, Egypt, Norway and
the Ukraine.
2. The phrase describes a group
of leaders of the Conservative op-
position, headed by Churchill.
3. Germany, 983 million dollars;
Britain, 899 million; France, 750 mil-
lion.
4. Mississippi is the only other
state with a statewide prohibition
law.
5. In 1898, by the Treaty of Paris,
after the Spanish-American war.
SECURITY:
On the Way
Judging from all the activity that
has been generated around the
idea recently, apparently the thing
Americans are most concerned
about is how they can keep a few
dollars rolling into the family till
each month after father reaches
the ripe old age of 65.
Pension plans have been an issue
»in major strikes confronting the
nation, and congress was coming
up fast on the outside of a greatly
expanded social security measure.
Even as the administration-spon-
sored bill was reported out onto the
floor by the house rules committee,
it had been fairly obvious that the
house would approve this portion
of President Truman’s program.
Briefly, the current measure pro-
vides for:
1. An increase of 11 million in the
number of workers covered by old-
age and survivors insurance for a
new total of 46 million.
2. An average 70 to 80 per cent
increase in old-age benefits.
3. Creation of a new insurance
system for persons who became
totally and permanently disabled.
4. An increase in the payroll taxes
by more than 300 per cent during
the next 20 years.
At any rate, the prospects were
bright for those legislators who
were plumping for passage of the
expanded social security law. Sen-
ator George (D., Ga.) chairman of
the finance committee, freely pre-
dicted that the senate would pass
the hopped-up social security pro-
gram in 1950.
REVOLUTION:
With Trailers
Tomorrow’s butcher, baker and
candlestick maker may desert
Main street to come rolling right
up to Mrs. America’s doorstep to
sell their wares.
This minor revolution in retail
salesmanship was forecast this
week by America’s trailer coach
manufacturers as they prepared to
Border Backfire
When the Russians eased their
border travel restrictions at Frank-
furt, Germany, to draw west Ger-
mans into the Soviet zone for Com-
munist “Peace Day” demonstra-
tions, the results were reminiscent
of the fabled halfback with the
pointed head who ran 90 yards for
a touchdown—the wrong way.
Thousands of eastern Germans
poured into the western zone, while
only about 500 went the other way.
display commercial and industrial

exhibit in Washington, D. C. No-

In addition to a complete line of
house trailers, the show will fea-'

signed coaches, a well-stocked

Hailed as a progressive step in
relieving congested shopping cent-
ers and simplifying the housewife’s
marketing problems, the new trail-
er stores already are winning favor
in both metropolitan and rural
areas, say sponsors of the idea.
Tell that grocery store to wait,
Mother—I’ll be right out!
DEFENSE:
Bacteriological
The city of Chicago, aware of
the high attack priority it would
have in the event of war, is be-
coming more defense conscious.
About two weeks ago, Dr. Her-
man Bundesen, Chicago board of
health president, convened the first
conference ever called by any city
in the world to protect its citizens
from the threat of biological war-
fare. Said Bundesen: “There is
vital need for planning. . .”

Agencies Pay Way
vpWO MORE FEDERAL agencies
i established—during the New
Deal era and branded as “socialis-
tic” and as “welfare” agencies are
paying their way, one being liqui-
dated at a profit at no expense to
the taxpapers.
According to a current report,
the home owners loan corporation
with an investment of more than
three and a half billion dollars in
more than a million American
homes during those depression
days of the 30’s is now out of the
red with a profit of approximately
1.5 million dollars. It is now being
liquidated.
The other agency, the farmers
home administration was given a
new lease on life by the 80th con-
gress and is a merger of the old
farm credit administration and the
emergency crop and feed loan di-
vision of the FCA. The current re-
port of this agency shows that it
has disbursed more than two billion
dollars in real estate, crop and dis-
aster loans and has collected more
than 1.5 billion dollars on principal
and 2.10 million on interest or a
total of almost two billion dollars,
indicating that its operation is cost-
ing Uncle Sam and the taxpayers
very little money.
Neither of these two agencies
has been in competition with
private industry, as HOLC
loans on homes were iriade
when owners could get no re-
lief from banks or insurance
companies, and FHA loans are
also made only to those farm-
ers who are unable to get pri-
vate loans or capital else-
where.
• * •
Farmers Aided
Through its real estate loans,'
FHA has made it possible for ap-
proximately 60,000 farmers to own
their own farms who otherwise
would not have been able to do so.
This type of loan has been pre-
valent largely through the south
and southwest for share-croppers
and tenant farmers and a total of
approximately 350 million dollars
has been loaned for this purpose.
FHA points out that through its
real estate loans it puts men in
position to own their own farms;
it keeps them on the farms.
• • •
This so-called “socialistic’*
agency has, then made capital-
ists of more than 60,000 farm-
ers, for when they become self-
sustaining they can no longer
rely upon FHA, but must go to
private financing agencies for
further help if necessary. It
has made depositors and clients
for banks and other lending in-
stitutions of these same farm-
ers who were unable to get
help from the private institu-
tions in the first instance.
• • •
.Operations of both these govern-
mental agencies are, in the mind
of this Reporter, a clear indication
of the innate honesty, the sound
character and the intelligence of
the great mass of these thousands
of borrowers, who were in the low-
est income brackets when they ob-
tained this government help, and
now are making their way up the
economic ladder.
* • •
Farm Loans for Vets
The two agencies are also an ex-
ample of decentralization of gov-
ernment, since all loans, both in
HOLC and FHA were made in the
local counties through operation of
local committees made up of men
who passed carefully upon the ap-
plicants and their loans. FHA is
currently making farm loans to
veterans and has approximately
15 million dollars available for this
purpose this year. This means that
with an average loan of $7,000,
some 2,200 war veterans will own
their own farms by the end of the
year. As a matter of fact loan ap-
plications already have passed the
75 million dollar mark.
• • •
Speaking of farm prosperity
approximately 5,400 farmers
lost their farms in 1948 due to
foreclosure or bankruptcy. An-
other 2,000 lost farms via the
tax delinquent route. This how-
ever compares to approximate-
ly 70,000 farms lost in 1940.
• • *
NAM-G0P at Odds
The announced position of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers on the reciprocal trade
agreements, is surprisingly and radi-
cally different from that of the
Republican leaders in the senate
who made a party issue of the
“peril point” amendment.
Curtis E. Colder, chairman of
the NAM international relations
committee, has apparently for-
saken the high tariff principle for
he now endorses the principle of
“accepting more imports than ex-
ports. The necessity of developing
an import surplus is inherent in
our position as a creditor nation.”
The battle comes however, on
what class of commodities this sur-
plus will include.

Trust God
Lesson for October 23, 1949
Q* HOOTING WARS and cold wars
^ were going on. A great whirl-
pool of international intrigue was
roaring around and around, and
Judah was in the midst of every-
thing. The star of
the once-great em-
pire of Egypt was
setting, and the
star of the new and
powerful nation of
Assyria was rising.
Judah was only
one of 20 or more
little countries be-
tween those giants.
Some of the little
nations were try- Dr. Foreman
ing to take advan-
tage of the disturbed situation by
getting up little empires of their
own. All of them were scheming
and scrambling for a place in the
sun. Some were betting on Assyria,
some on Egypt; no one knew just
what to expect, but every one was
afraid.
• • •
Cowardly King, Bold Prophet
TNTO ISAIAH’S little country of
*. Judah an invading army was
marching, and the hearts of king
and people trembled “like leaves
in the wind.” Little Judah was
being invaded by a combination of
two ambitious powers, Syria and
Israel, either one larger and strong-
er than Judah. Isaiah had to go out
and try to calm the mind of the
King. It was of no use; it was clear
that King Ahaz did not believe the
prophet. But Isaiah was right
nevertheless.
The foreign army that looked
so big would not win the war.
The alliance that lookfed so
frightening did not last. It could
not last, because God was
against it. Military men and
others too find such things hard
to believe.
Is not God “on the side of the
largest battalions”? Is not “Git
thar fustest with the mostest men”
the one and only recipe for victory?
Nevertheless, the prophet was
right. In fact, whenever a prophet
raised a banner inscribed, Trust in
God, it was not likely to be at a
time when things were going
smoothly in the world. That banner
most often appeared in times of
trouble, of darkness and dismay,
of wars and invasions.
* • . •
Leagues Don’t Always Last
The situation had a different
angle, later on. The Syria-Israel
invasion collapsed, just as Isaiah
said it would. But still the little
nations jockeyed and maneuvered.
It looked like a death-grapple be-
tween Assyria and Egypt, and
every nation wanted to be on the
winning side. So it was a great
time of treaty-makings, of pacts
and agreements and alliances.
Isaiah changed the form of his
message to suit the changing times,
but the core of it was still the same.
To King Ahaz he had said: Don’t
be afraid of hostile alliances; trust
in God. To King Hezekiah and
others he said, in effect: Don’t put
all your hope in alliances; trust in
God. Egypt will fail you, any al-
liance you form will melt away in
time.
But God will not melt away.
You can depend on him. NotV
in our time the situation is
strikingly like what it was in
Isaiah’s day. People today are
tempted to put their trust in
what is big and imposing. Big
nations, big armaments, big
armies, big alliances.
Men once put their trust in the
League of Nations, and it died (of
cowardice and dishonesty, among
other things). Millions put their
trust in the Axis, and for awhile it
looked as if the Axis powers would
overspread the earth. But the Axis
vanished under the blows of the
Allies.
* * •
Are All Alliances Bad?
rnHIS does not mean that no al-
A liance is good, or that no treaty
can be relied on, or that the United
Nations (for instance) is bound to
collapse. What Isaiah is driving at
is this: God has a Purpose to work
out in this world, and the name of
it is Justice, Righteousness, Peace,
Love.
Any nation or combination of
nations, any pact or agreement
or program, that goes against
God’s purpose is going against
the grain of things and is bound
to fall. Pure “power politics”
always looks impressive; but
the question is: What is the
power going to be used for?
If it is really for the benefit ol
mankind, God will bless it; but
if it is selfish and unjust and
against the peace of the world, it
-will fail, because the God of Justice
has set his face against it.
