the Boston Herald. This region Is
dotted with mounds of ruins, dis-
covered and undiscovered, and
often as not covered with trees and
vegetation so as to he almost un-

Increased food prices arc directly
Interwoven with the problem of re-
lief and It is difficult to predict
what inass psychology may he devel-
oped from such n circumstance.
There are two sides of the prob-
lem from the political standpoint.
One of them relates directly
to the plnns for providing food and
affects directly those persons whose
employment has been small and
who have only limited amounts of
money with which to maintain life.
The second phase Involves the fu-
ture of the Agricultural Adjustment
administration and affects directly
the political situation that has for
some time revolved about the focal
point of the principle of attempting
to manage prices as being done un-
der the AAA.
Connected with the latter phase,
and likely to suffer from hard-riding
politicians, is the movement within
the AAA to broaden Its power.
It will be recalled that Inst year
Prof. It exford Guy Tttgwell. under-
secretary of agriculture and a lead
ing brain truster, sought to force
through congress a series of amend-
ments to the adjustment act which.
In the view of many observers,
would make the regimentation of
farmers n compulsory instead of a
voluntary proposition as Is now the
case. In other words, according to
critics of the Tngwell plan, the
amendments that were offered and
defended In congress last year would
mnke the Department of Agricul-
ture a veritable dictator over the ag-
ricultural Industries In this coun-
try. Although Mr. Tngwell does not
figure In the picture so much this
year, the same amendments have
been put forward and a consider
ntde nmotint of pressure is being ex-
erfed to obtain an enactment as law.
Having defeated thpm Inst year,
critics of tlie program, headed by
Senator Byrd (Deni.. Va.). are mus-
tering In full strength to squelch the
amendments again.
While It Is yet too early to haz-
ard a guess concerning the results
of this battle, attention may he
called at tills tlmp to some of the
potentialities of such a legislative
fight. In these debates lies real
danger to whatever good there Is
In the Adjustment act. according to
the best Information T can get.
The danger Is to lie ohserved In
this direction: Those who criticize
the Tngwell amendments, though
they do not now hear his name, are
not going to confine their verbal fire
to those proposals. Thev will go. ns
they did Inst year, considerably lie
yond the scope of the proposed legls
lntlon. They will attack auv and
all features of the whole adjust-
ment program and It Is not unlikely
that their criticism will result In
tearing down some of the admit-
tedly good features of this phase
of the New Deal.
speeding administration of these pro-
posed licensing provisions. Yet, It
has been freely suggested that a
time may come when the secretary
of agriculture will be neither as
good nor as wise as Mr. Wnllace.
These circumstances and condi-
tions. In the minds of many observ- i
ers here, point only tc one thing
now: the Adjustment act and the
program drafted thereunder is not
as popular as it was before It went
Into operation. Judging from cor-
respondence received hy representa-
tives and senators, the Adjustment
program is actually repugnant to
some sections. I believe it only fair
to state, however, that the Adjust-
ment program Is not blamed wholly
for the Increase in prices but always
In times like these and under cir-
cumstances like those to which at-
tention has been directed there has
to be a goat. Apparently that goat
Is going to he the Department of
Agriculture and its step-child, the

While all of the newspapers are
printing mnny columns in review of
two years of the
Garner Roosevelt ndmln-
Overloobed Utration and much
attention Is being
paid to President Roosevelt, It seems
to me thnt one stalwart of the ad-
ministration—Vice President John
N. Garner—is being soinewhnt over-
looked. It seems to me, also, that
this should not be the case because
all observers agree that Mr. Garner
has placed the Vice Presidency of
the United States on something of
a new plane.
Much levity always has been di-
rected at any man holding the
job of Vice President. It is
true that the Vice President Is
seldom, If ever, out front, as the ex-
pression IS. With Mr. Garner, how-
ever, It has been decidedly different.
I believe, from all of the discus-
sions that I have heard since his
election, Mr. Garner has filled, and
Is filling, a very constructive post in
this administration.
It Is not generally known, I think,
how much Influence Mr. Garner
wields in the Roosevelt administra-
tion. He sits with Mr. Roosevelt
and the other members in the cab-
inet meetings and there Is no doubt
among observers here that those
men lean upon the long experience
which the Vice President has had.

This would have heen true under
conditions such as we used to have
In this country before the inaugura-
tion of the Agricultural Adjustment
administration. The AAA has made
the difference. Ijist year, the AAA
set about reducing the corn acreage
In this country because It was the
conviction of the New Deal that pro-
duction had heen too great. Twen-
ty per cent curtailment was de-
creed. To accomplish that end, the
AAA offered to tiny farmers at the
rate of thirty cents per bushel for
not growing corn. The plan worked
as It might naturally he supposed
to have worked and there was the
expected curtailment <>f production.
But nature took a hand and the
drouth settled down over the vast
corn producing areas of the Middle
West. So great was this disaster
that there Is not now sufficient corn
to meet domestic requirements. Im-
portation of corn resulted, and the
port of Baltimore had the novel ex-
perience nf seeing corn shipped In
