STATES COMBINE
TO RESIST PCA
A group of prominent bankers
| of this state will go to New York
on September 12th to represent
Nebraska in a meeting of country
bankers from agricultural states
to create a nation-wide movement
to free small banks from the in
creasing subsidized competition
of government bureaus.
Tne immediate objective of this
meeting, which is sponsored by
small banks of Pennsylvania, Wis
j consin and Nebraska, is to de
mand an individual congression
al investigation of the production
! credit system and to this end to
seek the leadership of the Ameri
can Bankers Association, which
will meet in annual convention
the day following the meeting of
state representatives.
The Nebraska delegation to at
tend this meeting of states and
the national convention to follow
comprises J. D. Milliken of Fre
mont, president of the Nebraska
Bankers Association; Emil E. Pla
cek of Wahoo, chairman of the
association’s committee on subsi
dized competition; E. W. Rossiter
of Hartington, a pioneer opponent
of PCA, and William B. Hughes,
secretary of the state association.
This Nebraska group will be join
ed by others in this state, includ
ing S. C. Waugh of Lincoln, R. R.
Ridge of Omaha and J. O. Peck
of Columbus, who represent Ne
braska on the council of Ameri
can Bankers Association.
Several hundred country bank
ers from states all over the nation
will attend this meeting. The plan
of centering present attention on
the government subsidy given to
PCA is one that has been strongly
advocated by the Nebraska Bank
ers Association, which has main
tained that private loans should
not be made from public funds
except in periods of emergency.
The American Bankers Associa
tion has vigorously backed the
Wherry Bill in the Senate, seek
ing to stop the waste of public
money by the Regional Agricul
tural Corporation. Inasmuch as
the latter bill seems well on its
way, being scheduled for early
Senatorial committee hearing, the
representatives to this meeting of
small bankers in New York feel
that the next step should be an
investigation of the PCA system
singly, with similar investigations
of others of the twenty bureaus
designed to loan money for agri
culture to follow.
TEMPORARY
EXPEDIENCY
Rumblings of discontent from
the Deep South and border states,
traditionally Democratic, have
caused the President to tempor
arily shelve some of his most
loyal New Deal ideas.
When arch New Dealer Henry
Wallace locked horns with Texas’
conservative Jesse Jones, it was
Henry who was taken to the
woodshed. When ambitious Un
dersecretary of State Sumner
Welles, of Groton and Harvard,
tried to muscle in on the Job of
Jeffersonian Democrat Cordell
Hull, of Tennessee, the Alma Ma
ter and “old school tie” business
was forgotten by Mr. Roosevelt
and Mr. Welles was asked to re
sign.
Let no one be deceived that the
President has discarded the New
Deal or his New Dealers. Such
actions on his part were politi
cally expedient at a time when
the solid South, fed up with the
Washington hitch-hikers on the
Democratic donkey, threatens Mr.
Roosevelt’s renomination and re
election. Unfortunately Mr. Wal
lace and Mr. Welles and others of
their stripe will return to plague
the American people if the pres
ent administration is continued
in office after next year’s election.
Again it becomes clear that the
fourth term strategy is occupying
much of the time of official Wash
ington. And behind the scenes
Harry Hopkins and others of the
“palace guard” continue to play
politics with the war.
Mrs. Richard Tomlinson left
Tuesday for Omaha to visit rela
tives and friends.
KEEP YOUR WAR
BONDS UNDER
LOCK AND KEY
PERHAPS you have never had a safe de
posit box. Well, don't let that keep you
from renting one now. Those War Bonds of
yours are important property and should
have safe deposit protection. True, they are
registered—which means that only the right
ful owner can collect on them. BUT, their loss
would cause you inconvenience and mental
anguish. So rent a box for them, and for your
other valuable papers such as insurance poli
cies, mortgages and deeds. The cost is small.

Progressive Post
War Planned
The Republican Party has rea
son to expect that after Novem
ber, 1944, it will be charged with
the administration of the federal
government—both from the White
House and with a majority in the
House of Representatives. Mount
ing resentment over the country
against the hit-or-miss operation
of the Washington bureaucracy,
supported by the steady turn of
elections against the New Deal,
makes this eventuality something
more than a hope.
It was the part of wisdom,
therefore, on tne part of party
officials to call together into con
ference the elected officers of the
party who compose the Republi
can Post-War Advisory Council
which has just completed its first
meetings at Mackinac Island in
Michigan. And the broad-vision
ed statement of party principles
that emanated from. the council
provides a basis of confidence to
the citizens of the country that
Republicans have their feet on
the ground and are viewing the
tremendous problems of the fu
ture realistically rather than as
merely an opportunity to take
over the bureaucratic millions
that have poured ohto the federal

payroll under the New Deal.
The Republicans had two al
ternatives: they could have sat
back and waited for the revolt
against Washington’s fumbling
with the war administration and
the playing of politics with the
war; or, they could frankly recog
nize that there are no rabbits that
can be pulled out of the hat to
bring the war to a speedy end
and re-convert America to a
peace-time era of progress and
plenty.
That the leaders of the party
have seen fit to take the latter
course, to start forth boldly to
grapple with the nation’s prob
lems and seek solutions other
than those of “spend and spend
and tax and tax” provides a fresh
basis of confidence in the work
ings of representative govern
ment.
