Conservation News
(By Benj. W. Crouch)
An agreement has just been
written on Mrs. Sudie Stone’s
farm located in the Parksville
section. The plan calls for 8 acres
of kudzu, 8 acres of sericea and
21 acres of new pasture.
Mrs. J. P. Brunson recently
signed letters to carry out a con
servation program on his two
farms in the Parksville section. A
few terraces have already been
constructed on one of the farms.
Mr. Robert LeRoy has his land
prepared to plant about 15 acres
of kudzu as soon as crowns are
delivered. This kudzu will be
planted next his permanent pas
ture so that it may be used for
grazing or hay.
Mr. S. O. Bouknight is making

• One of the authors of the much discussed na
tional service bill is Representative James W.
Wadsworth. He is a Republican who believes
national service is needed to get maximum
efficiency from the domestic front. President
Roosevelt indicated executive agreement with
this when he asked for such legislation in a mes
sage to congress. *
• Draft legislation has beer} Wadsworth’s spe
cialty. As a member of the Senate Military Af
fairs committee, he wrote the draft act of
World War I. He also wrote the peacetime draft
law which preceded the Pearl Harbor attack.
• Wadsworth constantly advocated all possible
aid to the democracies during the pre-Pearl
Harbor days. He is highly respected in Wash
ington for his diplomacy and legislative ability.
More than once he has been suggested as a
likely candidate for the Republican presidential
or vice presidential nomination.

LYTLE HULL
USELESS FRICTION
The prime requisite for victory
for our side is complete coopera
tion between the allies who make
up the so-called United Nations.
Already there have been frictions
between us, and while the results
of these are not easy to distin
guish, they do nevertheless exist
and are injurious to our cause.
The student of such matters can
point out the cancerous results
of these constant provocations
and explain their . effect upon
morale in the armed forces, a-
mcng the civilian populations,
and upon those who are running
he business of this war from the
top. Ill feeling and cooperation
lust don’t jell: They never have
and they never will.
So it is very disturbing to see
political leaders of our allies,
Great Britain and Russia, already
seemingly aligning their force?
for post war advantages at the
peace table, or in connection with
var settlements or later economic
competition.
The impression conveyed by the
»*ecent speech of Premier Smuts of
South Africa is to the effect r at
Great Britain will be too small rd
w-’ak after the war to keep • ’ *c
with such hu£e competitors a
United States and Russia, f - "-
fere it should get the Wester'
ropean countries to join the t-
ish Commonwealth. It isn’t < i-
cult to imagine how this su s-
tion will sit on the uneasy ?
achs of those nations. Lord ?
fax suggests a closer union c
British dominion and membi
the Commonwealth in order
the empire may claim equal
n rship after the war wilh
giants,
China.

irt-
the
United States. Russia and
Since when has the Brit
ish Empire so shrunk in impor
tance?
Then Mr. Stalin comes back
with the announcement that the
USSR has altered its constitution.
The effect of this sudden change
is that the 16 Soviet republics can
each have a separate vote in any
international organization—now or
after the war—whether this is its
intent or not.
What is this all about? Is it
an attempt to revive theold“bal-
ance-of-power” system which
must eventually terminate in an
other of these frightful global
wars? If so—the people of Great
Britain and of Russia—if this last
is possible—had best speak up be
fore it is too late and tell their
political leaders where to “head
in.”
One of the reasons why so
many Americans were opposed to
joining the League of Nations af
ter the last war was the pre
sumption that the British Empire
would have more votes than we
would. Is there anv reason to
believe the United States would
be willing to join any other
“peace-keeping” coalition in
which it had one vote to Russia’s
16, or to Britain’s 5 or 10?
Prime Minister Mackenzie King
very aptly points out the danger
ous implications in the speeches i
of the two British statesmen:
“Behind the conception expressed
by Lord Halifax and Field Mar
shal Smuts there lurks the idea
of inevitable rivalry between the
great powers . . . Such a con
ception runs counter to the es- i
tablishment of effective world se
curity and, therefore, is opposed
to the true interests of the (Brit
ish) Commonwealth itself.”
These new causes for irritation
should be immediately laid upon
the table in full view of everyone
i nd ironed cut peaceably. There
s no time for “old-fashion c
drpV'macy” when one is fightiny
x war—and there is plenty of
ime for “rivalry, between thz
,r at powers” aUcr the war i
• <ver and the oeace has been dc-f-
-itclv ecttlcd—not before.
TACING THE biggest food production job of all
time, you will need every pound of soda you
can get. It is coming in faster and, while ships
are still the big problem, there is reason to believe
thereiwill be enough for every essential requirement.
1,000,000 tons of notured Chilean nitrate—
the tonnage U. S. farmers used last year
—properly applied, would produce 250/-
000,000 bu. of oats or 100,000,000 bu. of
wheat; 125,000,000 bu. of corn or 4,800,000
tons of forage crops; 6,000,000 tons of
vegetables, or 2,500,000 bales of cotton
asd 1,100,000 tens o£ cotton seed.
These figures show why farmers need all the Chilean
Soda they can get to smash ’44 goals and help
make Victory sure!
