The statement is commonly
made that Germany should have
Danzig as a matter of right since
the Free City belonged to Germa-
ny before it was taken away from
her after the World War and pla-
ced under the administration of
the League of Nations.
This recognition of the German
claim is correct to the extent that
it is true that Danzig belonged to
Germany prior to the establish-
ment of the Free City in which
both Germany and Poland enjoy
port privileges. However, in the
treaty of partition signed in 1793,
Danzig was forcibly taken or sto-
len from Poland in the division of
territory between Prussia and Ru-
ssia, In the prior three-sided par-
tition of Poland among Austria,
Prussia and: Russia in 1772-3, Po-
land was allowed to retain Dan-
zig.
Only by legitimatizing theft a-
mong nations can Germany hold a
claim to Danzig today. Poland
was a great power from the four-
teenth to the seventeenth century,
but thereafter was subjected to
four different partitions of her
territory by surrounding powers.
In treaties of 1795-6, Poland ceas-
ed to exist as a nation when her
territory was divided among Au-
stria, Prussia and Germany. Al-
though nonexistent as a nation
during the World jWar, Poland
had an army which fought again-
st both the Russians and the Ger-
mans. The present Poland was
created in the post-war settle-
ment.
Hitler’s claims to Danzig is
founded upon a title established
by theft. Balanced against such
a spurious claim in equity, there
is the Polish contention that the
Corridor to the sea and Danzig as
a Free City are necessary to the
continued existence of Poland. In
other words, Hitler’s claim to
Danzig is only a preliminary to
gobbling up all of Poland—anoth-
er theft without conquest that
would parallel the grab of Czecho-
slovakia.

A LESSON FROM HOLLAND
The American people can learn
a valuable lesson from the life-
guards at the beaches of Holland!
For, according to an item in the
Dairymen’s League News of New
York, these guards make a prac-
tice of drinking a glass of milk
every hour to give them greater
endurance.
Medical men and dieticians of-
ten observe that the per capita
consumption of milk in this coun-
try—by both children and adults
—is far lower than it should be,
in the interests of health. Few
foods contain as much nutritive
value as milk, few are more pala-
table, and few are less expensive.
A national milk eonsump t i o n
double or more that existing to-
day, would result in marked bet-
terment of the average standard
of health. And, incidentally, it
would mean a great deal to the
dairy farmer, who has been faced
with excessive production over
consumption.
UPHOLDING WHEAT INCOME
COLLEGE STATION, Aug. 31.
—With wheat selling on the world
market at the lowest level in mod-
ern times, more than 5,000 Texas
wheat farmers this year have
stored their products in the “Ev-
er-Normal Granary” to await bet-
ter prices.
Meanwhile they have maintain-
ed their buying power with loans
averaging around $800, and total-
ing approximately $4,000,000 on
August 15, a report by the State
Agricultural Conservation Com-
mittee here showed.
Farm bins and commercial ele-
vators were reported to be bulg-
ing nearly to capacity in the Tex-
as wheat belt, where around 6
million bushels are stored as col-
lateral against loans. Last year
only slightly more than 2,531,000
bushels were stored.
“ Farmers this year have been
getting from 20 to 40 cents more
for their wheat than if no loan,
export subsidy or acreage adjust-
ment had been in effect,” Charles
Thomas of Pampa, wheat farmer
and member of the state commit-
tee, surmised, “I doubt if there
is another major wheat surplus
producing nation in the world
that is doing so much for its pro-
ducers.”
P. C. Colgin, wheat specialist of
the AAA, said that loans are be-
ing reported to the state office at
the rate of 200 a day.
Loan application deadline is De-
cember 31.
RANCHMEN BUSY
REVIVING THE RANGE
The deadline on applying for
wheat crop insurance for 1940 is
September 30 in the Panhandle
area, and October 15 in the rest
of the state.
Wheat farmers who intended to
insure their 1940 crops must ap-
ply for the insurance before they
seed wheat.
Sixty million acres are in the
'process of devestation from wind
erosion.
COLLEGE STATION, Aug. 31.
—Texas ranchmen, whose fabu-
lous domain has come a long way
for the worse since the Longhorn
ruled the plains, are fast restor-
ing the color to the face of their
land.
A final check-up of conserva-
tion practiced under last year’s
AAA range program shows a
large increase over 1937 in the
number of ranches in the pro-
gram, the number of acres impro-
ved, and the extent to which
range-building practices were car-
ried out.
The report, compiled here at
state headquarters of the AAA,
showed:
Deferred grazing was practic-
ed on 4,811,614 acres.
Approximately 20,000 stock wa-
tering tanks and dams were built.
Spreaded dams were construct-
ed involving the movement of 1,-
303,391 cubic yards of earth.
Around 6,022,440 feet of sprea-
der terraces were built.
More than 500,280 pounds of
grass and legume seed was used
to reseed approximately 61,130
acres of depleted grazing lapd.
Ninety-one acres of trees were
planted, and 10,342,952 feet of
fire guards were established.
Around 61,3 6q acres of pasture
were furrowed on the contour and
53,884,056 feet of ridging was
done.
Water wells with a combined
depth of 476,806 feet were drilled,
and the excavation of more than
31,000 cubic feet was involved in
development of seeps and springs
Prickly pear was cleared off 1,-
411,044 acres, and a combined to-
tal of 3,615,890 acres were reliev-
ed of excessive mesquite, cedar
and lechuguilla.
Enrolled in the program were
approximately 19,770 ran dies,
which earned around 95 percent
of a possible total of $5,720,S60
available for range conservation.

The thing that distinguishes
“'Our Common Herd” is that
without any disguises Avbatever
it comes straight up from the
good American earth. It is an au-
thentic story, done without affec-
tation, and its honesty and verity
commend it at once. Some true
istories are so dressed up that we
doubt them from the start. This
book wears its every-day clothes.
It is the story of one woman’s
struggle with poverty down in
Texas and in oil fields of several
other western states: of a woman
proud enough and strong enough
to stand on her own feet and earn
her way, cooking, waiting on ta-
bles in a restaurant, running a
boarding house or drilling an oil
well.
It is what is called a “success”
story, but it is different. As a
story it is built up out of homely
details in stick a way that you
live it yourself as you read; and
you identify yourself with Sue
and her struggles with daily prob-
lems, unable to lay the book aside
until you know how she won her
way to freedom.
‘ ‘ Our Common Herd ’ ’ is way
off the beaten track where pro-
fessional and conventional books
are to be found; and it calls for
a wide reading. Personally, I wish
it could be read by all those en-
feebled folk who hold that the
world owes them a living, just
because they have favored the
world by having been born in it.—
