This is the con tention of Louis Bromfleld, author of many books and Pulitzer prize win ner, who himself raises food on a 1,500-acre arm. Writing in the Aug ust issue of the Reader’s Digest, Mr. Bromfleld warns that this food scar city will grow worse this fall, and reach its most desperate stage this winter, especially frem February on. The president, and the men about him responsible or the security of the home front, Bromfleld says, did noth ing whatever, about the desperate food situation until April nf this year. Then it was too late—end too little was done, he adds. The greatest blun der, he writes, was to strip the farms of skilled labor by the draft and at toe same time cut production of farm machinery to 23 per cent of normal. Besides being left .badly crippled by the double blow, toe fanner had to waste his more than precious time filling out countless questionnaires that went to Washington in huge bundles which were not even opened, and making trips to various bureaus for permits to buy machinery parts. To illustrate this, Bromfleld says that toe manager of his own farm was forced to spend two days and drive 185 miles to get a new tractor part— while the tractor stood idle.

The main purport of what he has been hearing from United Nations quarters, he told his press conference, is that the military should be given a chance to fight the war without being hamstrung by other considerations. Hull previously had indicated that he relied on the judgment of Gen eral Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Italian situation and President Roose velt said today that when surrender time comes he does not care with whom we deal, so long as he is not a member of the Fascist party. Asked how he so regarded Premier Badog- Uo, toe president said he was not going to discuss personalities. Badoglio, who fought Benito Mus solini’s Ethiopian war, and toe royal Vansittart, former chief diplomatis adviser to toe British foreign office, described in a week-end broadcast thusly: k “Sort of a backstop, half-repentant, semi-benevolent totalitarianism, a leopard that has changed its spoil and manicured its claws in a beauty parlor.” VansMart’s speech, which Hull said he had not seen, added this advice lack of such a guide you have already gone wrong in France and have tak en us along with you.” Such criticism of American policy toward toe French, generally that it dealt with some men not cleansed, from the taint of Vichy—has drawn statements from Hull similar to tor one he made toejay — that military matters and the saving of soldiers* lives should get first consideration. been stationed in Michigan, is spend-1 its regular monthly meeting ing a ten day leave with his parents, j " inda y .**t e [ n< ^ n at * o'clock.

In addition, he points out, the erratic price ceilings ordered by OPA helped dislocate the whole field of food production, and he cites toe now classic example of a ceiling on beef without compensatory ceil ings on livestock. OPA has also set a price ceiling on fann machinery with a resultant black market in used equipment, leading to such farces as a bale of hay or a rooster selling for $1,200 at a farm sale, so that the auctioneer can throw in a used trac tor, worth $750. And speaking of black markets, Bromfleld says that with toe present and growing scarcity of food, coupled with inflationary money, nothing can stop black markets. Food is more vi tal than alcohol and, as he puts it, more people are addicted to it, and if in spite of an army of, agents our efforts at prohibition failed, how can we expect to suppress black markets in food? The only thing that cgn put an end to them, he contends, is such an abundance of food that rationing will be unnecessary. Bromfleld claims that the United States can produce that abundance with proper planning, necessary farm end. Miss Nellie'Owens spent toe week end with Miss Bernice Dean in Gold- ville.
