I » TRUE TO OURSELVES. OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD. Forty-Fifth Year Established June 5, 1902 McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1946 Numb«r b ft ji*j — ' T *»e i rpc *• "I the Bureau of Agricultural Econo’n- Ics. pointing out the tremendou: f ** it U rns them oacl. to the private owners before these owners and the miners have reached record of achievement made by the an agreement, there will be further nation’s farm population in the war years, and predicting a continuation of the factors which contributed to that record until 1950, wns an in‘cr esting feature of this week in Wash ington. With practically the same acreage and with fewer men employed, the farm industry production soared to new heights and the coming four years should even raise this goal by 11 percent, the Bureau reported. Although the report indicated that increased fertilization, de velopment of new disease re sistant seeds and such new seeds as hybrid corn and mechaniza tion of farms were responsible, probably the most significant factor was the turning of thou sands of acres of land from pro duction of food for animals to food production for man. coal strikes which will slow up the rapidly expanding reconversion in dustrial machinery. Faced with this fact, the gov ernment called a conference of the mine workers committee and the owners here in Washington k to see if they could get to gether. Interior Secretary Krug has made an agreement with John Lewis. The question is will the mine owners take oxer this agreement? If they do will Lewis be satisfied, since thei e Is a per sistent rumor that when the time comes he will ask for ad ditional concessions. The unions declare they want to get rid of government operation, as they are just as opposed to it as the owners, all of it probably true, since the present set-up does not fit in with John Lewis’ philosophy of free enterprise. The Russian situation continues to On the labor front the question of be grave and official Washington is how and how soon the government not sanguine either about the peace can turn back the coal mines to their i conference nor a successful session owners occupied the attention of of United Nations at Lake Success, N. Y., now in progress. Report of a congressional committee urging the establishment of huge naval bases in Korea or in Alaska for fear of an other “Pearl Harbor attack” does not help matters, insofar as enduring peace talk is concerned. Officials, however, declare that so long as there is the present situation of sus picion and distrust among nations, they would be derelict in their duty not to point out the dangers to this country and to prepare for any vT't.’i'Ufc-ii-lp i those agencies, labor and interior, who are responsible. Both govern ment and John L. Lewis, the mine boss would like to see the mines go back to their owners. Government has operated • them for more than j three months.
