Prosperity Of v
U. S. Depends on
Farm, Says Norris
Declares Abnormal Methods
IS'ercssary for Exports, in
Support of Bill for
Trade Corporation.
By E. C. Snyder.
W;ihlnton Corr!onlrn. Omh IV.
Washington, July 27 (Special
Tilegratn.) Senator Norris, in a
communication to a Washington
newspaper in defense of his bill or
Ranizing a governmental opera
tion to purchase farm products in
- the I'nited States and sell them in
foreign countries, says that the fun
damental cornerstone of the pros
. perity of the country is agriculture
and if agriculture is not prosperous,
no other branch of industry and no
other group of the American people
can be prosperous. Continuing,
Senator Xorris says:
"The world is confronted with an
extremely abnormal condition. The
farmers of our country have produc
ed a surptus which they arc not able
to sell. In other parts of the world
there are millions of people starving
for the products which we have in
vast abundance.
"The problem is to get this surplus
from our farms into ihc homes of the
starving people of foreign lands.
They are not able to pay cash. They
must have time. They arc willing to
mortgage everything they have for
the food which our farmers have pro
duced. Radical Method Necessary.
"The governmental corporation
which is provided for in this bill is
intended to act as a middle-man be
tween the producers in America and
the consumers in foreign countries.
It is no answer to say that we arc
proposing a plan that is abnormal.
"The facts are wc are living in abnor
mal times. The natural channels of
business have failed and part of the
world is starving while the other part
is bankrupt in the midst of an over
supply. , . .
"H will not do to stand idly by
say that this food must not be moved
until commercial agencies existing
under normal conditions shall trans
act the business. We have waited
long enough for these agencies to
work to become convinced that they
mnnot meet the contingency. If we
wait longer, we will find the hungry
people in foreign lands starving,
while our farmers are. bankrupt.
Banks Will Fail.
"It must be remembered, toe, that
when the farmer goes down, as he
must unless some market is found
for this surplus produce, he will
take with him a large number of the
country banks, scattered through
out the agricultural sections of our
country, and when these banks fail
the danger will be that other insti
tutions will likewise fail. Under
these conditions our government
ought to build up exporting ma
chinery that will be able to take
securities offered by those who want
cut products and tide them over
tontil they are able to pay.
.... . .1 tli.t . n
It must oe unucrsiuuu
telling our goods to foreign coun
tries we arc not dealing with a lot
t thieves and tricksters. They re
as anxious to get our foodstuffs
s we arc to dispose of them. If
these stricken countries are ever to
je put on their feet, it must be
throueh their toil and their labor.
fThey are as anxious to be put on
Hound financial basis as we are to
ell them our products. They will
not fail to pay us unless the civili-
ration of this age is about to go
Into chaos and destruction.
Depend on Foreign Market.
"We always have depended and
lwavs will depend on a foreign, mar
..et for our surplus products. Un
less we have this market we must
fail, so it is not the present alone
that we .should have in mind, but
a futur market. Those who are
to buv our agricultural products
understand as well as we do that
unless they pay, not only we but
they as well must, in the end, fail.
"Another ercat difficulty that
makes a chasm between the pro
ducers and the consumer is the tre
mendously high cost of transporta
tion. This measure provides, through
the instrumentality of the Interstate
Commerce commission, for reduced
rates for these products.
"Thousands of empty freight cars
are obstructing the railroad tracks
of the country. Would it not be bet
ter, even for the railroads them
selves, if these empty cars were in
part utilized to transport these
products at reduced rates and thus
not only help the producer and the
consumer, but the railroads them
selves? Wre have reached a point
in our transportation system where
it has become apparent to all think
ing men that railroads can be
bankrupted by high rates as well as
by rates that are too low."

a way, to his two boys, Willie and

Miss Esther A. Johnson, juvenile

court omcer, alter an intensive in

"There is no question in my mind
but that the shooting was purely

broken in the knowledge his best
boyhood chum is gone forever, but
I do not believe he realizes he caused
Willie's death himself."
Harold, older brother to Willie
and the main solace to his father in
their bereavement, staunchly stands
up for his dead brother's chum.
"I know Bert wouldn't hurt Willie
for anything," he declares. "They
were always together."
