COMMENT AND OPINION BY THE EDITORS. Will Corn Belt Farms Some Day Be Smaller? The trend of farms will continue upward in size, according to the postwar survey taken by farmers of Allin township in co-operation with the Extension Service. Of farmers who said they woald continue to farm after the war, 13 said they would increase their acreage and five said, they would reduce it. A. T.

Anderson of the College of Agriculture noted that among the five farmers who intended to reduce their acreage, some expressed a doubt as to future labor conditions. Confronted with the possibility of nunimum wage laws or unionization of farm laborers, they preferred to reduce their operations to be self sufficient. Note that this was a minority opinion. But just for the sake of discussion, we would like to direct attention to some other factors which may reverse the trend in size of farms. 1 A change in the type of farm equipment.

There are many plans among the manufacturers for equipment particularly suited to smaller operations. One manufacturer hopes to produce a tractor and a line of basic farm implements for $1,000. 2 The growing need for more attention to the LIPPMANN BY TETER EDSON. HEX Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D.

But a lot of the things they threw at him when he was up for confirmation as assistant secretary of state still hover about his some- what bushy eyebrows and graying hair. A couple in particular that seem to warrant a little further investigation are charges made on the floor of the senate by North Dakota's William Langer. Four years ago, before this country got into the war, said Langer, Dunn blocked the entry into the United States for some 651 refugees from Nazi Germany, and furthermore he later sent a cable to the U. S. minister in Switzerland, ordering him not to send back to this country reports on Nazi, atrocities.

Those are pretty serious accusations which, if true, would make Secretary Dunn not only pro-Nazi but anti-Semitic. Sad Story of War. The story of the 651 refugees is one of the sad stories of the war. It wasn't 651, by the way, but 2,000 who got visas to come to the United States after they had been checked and okayed by the Department of Justice as desirable citizens. Nearly all of them were in special danger because they held political positions.

Few of them got out of Nazi territory, but in negotiating for their removal to this country by the War Refugee board, a number of cables had to be cleared through the department of state. James C. Dunn, as head of the division of western European affairs at that time, initialed many of the cables- to expedite them, though this was not directly his business. Code Endangered. mud-slinging of a political campaign." "The greatest trouble," however, lies in the gambling organizations.

"But almost every day a delegation representing the gambling interests waits upon me at.my-ofTice. "They have offered me $200 per week just to tip them off five minutes ahead of any raid by the sheriff.

That's all they ask of me. "I have refused. But they keep hounding me. I can't debar them from the city hall, for they are taxpayers, so sooner or later they get at me again. "These gamblers aren't the only ones trying to break me down.

He tells me I am selfish in that I don't have to come up for re-election for three more years, but he does soil. "Broad acres makes poor farming," Lincoln told Wisconsin farmers 70 years ago.

This is particularly true of soil care. Farmers working the smaller units may eventually have an advantage in production costs over those who operate in large units because their soil will be better tended and therefore more productive. 3 The spread of intensive farming. Cash grain farming is low in what economists call "labor input" and it is slowly being replaced in the midwest by livestock farming and the production of specialty crops which require greater labor input. Intensive farming as practiced on the small but productive Pennsylvania farms, for example, keeps Lancaster county near the top year in and year out for cash value of crops produced.

There are some signs that this kind of farming is moving westward. How soon will the change set in? We'll say 25 years from now. If anyone wants to keep this editorial for 25 years in order to tell us we guessed wrong, that's fine. But maybe we're guessing right! Don't Overlook School As Recreation Center The youth center idea seems to be growing in Central Illinois. Mansfield and Sibley have just opened new centers and is conferring one.

Minier has had a program under way for only a short time. In most cases these centers seem to be located in some vacant downtown building which has to be redecorated and adapted in some fashion for recreational purposes. Lincoln and Tremont followed the same course. But both later abandoned their centers and moved their recreation programs to the high school building. It appears obvious that the high school is the logical recreation center for any small community.

Every effort should be made to use it. "llutrh alwajs the genlleiuao he gate that lady httif Ire I.U teal!" To Tell Them Of Treatment BY WALTER LIPPMANN. NEW YORK. The question is whether the formula ot uncondi- tional surrender can be supplemented by a public declaration saying what the Germans may expect when they surrender their arms. It would not be impossibly difficult to do this if the Allies could foresee what they may expect of the Germans.

Because they cannot foresee it, something more than a declaration is reeded. The crux of the problem whether, when Germany is disarmed and at their mercy, the Allies will impoee specific terms severe but nevertheless definite and limited or whether they will retain the right to formulate new demands for an indefinite period of time. There is little doubt that the fear of prolonged, indefinite and arbitrary demands acts as a powerful factor in enabling the Nazis to retain their grip upon the German nation. Hard to Convince. The unknown is always more unacceptable than the known.

For men can resign themselves to what is known. In the case of the Germans their own knowledge of the crimes they have committed undoubtedly causes them to l.licve that once in the power of the Allies, they will be treated as they have treated those who were defenseless under them. A declaration promising them gcxd treatment could resolve this difficulty only if, when it was issued, more and more Germans be gan to believe in it. But it will not be easy to convince them that we are in fact stating a policy and not conducting a propagandist maneuver. Propaganda Alert.

For 20 years they were indoctrinated with the belief that President Wilson's Fourteen, Points were propaganda designed to undermine their will to fight. They themselves know only too well how Hitler and Goebtx-ls huve made fair promises for the deliberate purpose of destroying the will to resist among their intended victims. Any one who is disposed to think it would be easy to convince the Germans now would do well to study how the German propa fight on. not to those v. ho m.ght follow the Nazis.

"If I were a poor man and one of my children were critically in need of an expensive surgical operation, or I wanted money to send my child to college, you can see that the gamblers' bribe might, more likely eaten me at a weak moment and force me to succumb. "You can imagine, therefore, how many good men start out with a sound moral administration and honest political policies, but you can easily guess, being a psychologist, how many of them soon surrender to the gamblers and begin accepting bribes.

With all credit to the women for keeping the spark of parent interest in education alive, the job cries for a more active part by men. Nothing would do the schools of this country more good in the postwar era than a universal interest of fathers as to what goes on inside the schoolroom and the influx of thousands of vigorous, liberal and personable young men into the classroom as teachers. These Yarns Always Need One Dumb Man and compared with the coded version of that same message. For this reason, a cable was sent to the U. S.

minister in Switzerland, ordering him not to use the code for refugee messages. The story got out that this was an order to stop sending atrocity reports to the United States, but actually it was nothing more than an order to safeguard the code. Jimmy Dunn got blamed for it, but actually the order seems to have been cabled to- Switzerland over the signature of umner Welles then under secretary of state. Treatment Pays Off. Perhaps a better case can be made that Dunn has been pro-Communist than that he is pro-Fascist.

At the beginning of U. S. participation in the war, British and American governments agreed to a full exchange of information on all subjects. Dunn is generally given credit for having broadened that policy into one of full exchange of information with Soviet Russia, too. Before, the Moscow government had been treated with suspicion and caution.

Treating Moscow with confidence and respect as an equal was a new idea. It paid off when Hull went to Russia for his conference with Stalin and. Molo-tov and came home with the Moscow agreement. Dunn went along on that trip, as Hull's adviser. No Silver Spoon.

When Dunn hasn't been criticized for his policies, he has been picked on because he married money an Armour heiress or because he was once in charge of protocol at White House and State department functions, and there Scores Again BY OLD NEWT PLl'MM.

The conclusion we are bound to come to is, it seems to me. that the formula of unconditional surrender, admittedly' inadequate, cannot be- adequate by a mere declaration of our intentions.

Only One Goal.

These would be, I believe, measures to organize Europe strongly and firmly around Germany. This would mean, in the first instance, to unite all the neishbors of Germany by pacts of mutual assis-ance, reinforced and co-ordinated by the kind ot pact which Sen. Vandenberg has proposed. To do this would go a very long way to relieve the Allies of the need, the temptation, and the opportunity to follow separate and arbitrary policies in respect to Germany.
