In the speeches Mr Wlllkle has
made since the campaign opened he
has been asserting thai jvery de-
mocracy which has fallen in the
course of history has been destroyed
because of overwhelming debt For
eight long years we have been going
down that road Now the man who
has brought that threat to us Is ask
ing for a third term
We have existed In this country
for ICO years under the great tradi-
tion that two terms are enough for
any president Yet now when of all
times democracy and the demo-
cratic way of life are facing their
greatest test when of all times we
should preserve oil of the processes
of the democratic system we have
9 man who says I am indispen-
sable
This campaign Is a crusade for
Uje preservation of the lAmerlcan
way of life This is a crusade to
establish oh example of liberty for
aU the world It Is a crusade against
th a concentration of power In Wash-
ington It Is a crusade against the
egotism of the doctrine of the in-
dispensable man
Mr Willkles indorsement of the
present farm program with modifi-
cations to remove objectionable fea-
ture ot administration eliminates
thtj question of benefit payments as-
a campaign Issue But on the debt
and the third term Mr Wlllkle has
fundamental Issues to take to the
farmer home owner and business
span The national debt rapidly ap-
proaching SO billion dollars he de-
scribes as a mortgage on every
farm home and business In Amer-
ica He4 > redlcts that It President
Roosevelt Is reelected the debt will
grow to 79 blluon dollars within the
next four yejw
The gresF Immediate benefit
which cart be brought to agricul-
ture ays Mr WlUkle Is restora
tlon ot business like methods In gov-
ernment and the return of the pres-
ent ten million unemployed to the
payrolls to they again can become

WORST EI IS
E
By GEN HUGH S JOHNSON
SpecIaltoThellemphill County News
and Associated Newspapers
WASHINGTON D C
Very timely is Leon Hendersons
warning to producers of raw materi-
als not to profiteer prices upward
Timely too is the Brookings insti-
tutions report on the same subject
One of the worst evils Is price In-
flation In 1014 to 1918 it increased
average American prices to 213 per-
cent of their prewar level The ef-
fect In human suffering is devastat-
ing and it docs not cease with the
guns or for many years
For an example of only one of its
lesser evils compared with purchas-
ing power of 1913 dollars the stag-
gering costs of the war to us were
more than doubled by reason of that
inflation alone That means that the
burden ot that mountainous debt on
all our people was also doubled A
greater evil is that starting at the
high peak of war prices there Is first
an abrupt and ruinous and then a
gradual decline In values prices and
wages back to about the prewar lev
el After the Napoleonic Civil and
World wars that process in each
case took 14 years
Of course any such process is
simply a slow destruction of half of
all values in a nation Our postwar
gyrations from flash booms to deep
and continued depression were all
by products of this massive readjust-
ment It profoundly changed and
gravely threatened both our econom-
ic and political systems Indeed the
old threat is not yet removed as a-
new and similar menace appears
So much for the brief mention ot a
few of the terrible hang over effects
of wartime price Inflation The jit-
terbug joyrlde of the actual price
debauch while it is going on makes
feverishappearanceof prosperity
but It is prosperity for precious
few Some wages go up with prices
and some go up first but most of
them lag grievously All people de-
pendent on fixed revenues such as
salaries pensions interest on sav-
ings and almost all wages are the
real sufferers
The most piteous of these cases
are the families of soldiers at the
front All these people and they
are by far the majority of us find
their cost ot existence doubled or
multiplied while their means to get
it remains the same It all adds up
to a serious nationwide cut In wages
salaries and income This Is dis-
tressing and hideously unfair and it
produces an even more dangerous
result for a warring nation It de-
stroys morale both at home and
among the soldiers at the front Na-
poleon said that in war the ratio of
the value ot moral strength is to
the physical as 3 to 1
In most great wars this terrible
force has been either little heeded
or inadequately handled In the
World war our war industries board
was presented with the process ot
rising prices too late to prevent it
but it did halt it in its tracks and
later turned the trend downward
That experience proved that war in-
flation can be prevented and sug-
gested the only way to do it

do Wendell ttillklo will furth-
er and by every means seek to
enlarge the American market
for farm products both by Im-
proving the consuming power of
city consumers and also by en-
couraging the Industrial uses of
farm raw materials Thirdly It
will search for a formula for
freeing the American farm price
from the vagaries of foreign
markets putting the farmer on
the same footing with other
American producers who sell at
the American not the world
price
Senator McNarys speech sounded
the keynote of the Republican cam-
paign on the farm problem He
criticized the woeful failure of the
New Deal to solve the farm problem
in a permanent and effective man-
ner He said Actually the basic
farm problem is no nearer solution
tcday than it was on March 4th
1C33 The New Deal has reached
none of its fut i a mental objectives
Its farm program Is a thing of
Ehrcds and patches settling noth-
ing merely putting oT the day of
reckoning If I did not believa that
the New Deals success could be
former be standing before you to-
day If I thought that the best the
Government of the United States had
to offer the farmer was regimented
subsistence and a permanent state
of disparity then X should despair
for my country
The speaker endQ pd heartily the
statement mado on several occa-
sions by Mr Wlllkle to the effect
that the present form of the farm
program rould be continued until
something better can be developed
He said I know of no one who ad-
vocates withholding from the farmer
the grants he now has soil conser-
vation parity payments crop loans
and other bcneflts untU the pro-
longed emergency is past and the
farmer no longer Is at a disadvan-
tage I have many farmer friends
who are gravely concerned over the
deficits which these benefits to-
gether with all the New Deals ex-
penditures are piling up for de-
ferred payment Tho farm popula-
tion will pay Its full share In meet-
ing these bills Furthermore the
administration of these vast pater-
nalistic enterprises leaves much to
bo desired The inevitable faults
of bureaucracy red tape favorit-
ism confusion end delay pUguj
