One of the gravest confessions
of weakness on the part of our
government we can remember is
its requirement that farmers who
take wheat to an elevator nowa-
days are forced to sell half of it on
that day. We haye boiled for years

sia telling how the Five-Year Plan,
required the peasants to turn all
farm products to the government
except a little fOr ;hOWie^tlHB—«nd
an age of superlatives.
