WHETHER the Georgia Farm Bureau is to ex-' tend membership privileges to Negroes was discussed at the Macon convention recently President Wingate advised acceptance of the Negro the Bureau as a- business organization" said Mr Wingate you will see that it is to the advantage of the bureau and to the Negroes to invite them to take part with us If we take in the Negro members the National Union will do so and the Negro will become our competitor instead of our ally The National Union is under CIO control and they will consider the Negroes as furnishing a fertile put their beloved cow in tin cans and know that they can get steak for their table during the winter felt like lowing when the canning job was says Mrs Moseley who before her marriage was Emmie Richardson of Hawkinsville Mr Moseley Is now county agent of Marion county and he cut the pieces as she cooked keeping three cookers going at a time until 112 quart-cans were prepared sealed and labeled a good scheme this canning says Mr Moseley keeps you from running out of steak if you will eat Death of Mas Fannie "MISS FERRELL and her mother ekfed a lonely existence back of the old camp-mceting grounds at Echeconnee but now both are dead and the property they owned away back there in the woods will go to relatives war married to a Confederate soldier who was in ill health and soon had to be sent to the sanitarium then her mother died and she was left in the old home place with no one to care for her A servant remained on the place until recent years and then he moved away with his family and had to do her own farm work and gardening and house work But she managed to sell enough butter and eggs from her own place and sometimes a few vegetables that kept body and soul together until she was granted a Confederate pension a few years ago Through these changes she continued to be Ferrell to her neighbors and friends She was so far from the public that when Mrs Carl Bateman started down there to see her a short time before anything was really known to be the matter the car became stuck in the sand and had to be turned back Then one Thursday Dudley Glass The press of Georgia and a large circle of devoted friends learn with deep regret of the death of Dudley Glass who for many years has been a columnist on the Atlanta Constitution Mr" Glass was born in Tennessee and was 'a graduate of Auburn University He worked on newspapers in Memphis Nashville and Savannah before coming to Atlanta in 1905 to accept a position as first city editor of the Atlanta Georgian Buford Goodwin also a Tennessean became the first managing editor of the Georgian when it was founded by Fred Seely and Goodwin brought Dudley Glass to Atlanta to assist him in the publication of the newspaper Throughout the life of the Georgian Glass was one of the ablest and most versatile members of its staff When the Georgian ceased publication he went to the Atlanta Constitution where he conducted a column usually with a humorous slant but always reflecting the strong personality of the writer He was a gifted and well-informed newspaperman with all the fine qualities of mind and heart to win and hold friends He will be missed from Georgia Economics In General By MERRYLE RUKEYSER tarlanism often the resort of the cruel minded can all be made to serve the lie A Housman with hit acute mind observed that there were "truths beloved of llara because they do so assist the cause of falsehood'' It true for instance that the Versailles treaty was harsh Jthough never applied and In a sense leas than just yet to urge this as an excuse for the German disease war is the finest form of labor is to be a liar It la true that we are fighting to preserve the British empire but emphatically the British empire fought and is fighting to preserve ua Who doubts that our enemies within and without will butcher this truth? One of the best assistants to the lie Is indolence of which ceaseless activity la a malignant form another is impatience and of course self-righteousness I believe it was Montaigne who said that a bigot is always talking about tolerance and toleration 'la one of the devil's prominent catchwords Such are some of the auxiliaries of the lie One may well pray more earnestly and very humbly lead us not into temptation but deliver ua from especially from the moat insidious evil of all that which derives from those of us who believe ourselves and whom the world believes to be good A JOHNSON Old Men Control in Italy Editor The Telegraph: The fall of Mussolini was hailed I In many quarters as a real revolution What a mockery what a tragical farce! Look at those who are supposed to head the revolution of ideas that will blot out the ataini of Fascism They are all very old men King Victor a 1 1 Croce Sforza all well over seventy If these old wise men could I do nothing more than twenty years ago when Italy then the most democratic country in the world was respected powerful with her resources intact and they were In their vigorous experienced fifties how can any sane man ever hope that' they will be able to rescue today's Italy an Italy prostrated demoralized humiliated actually ruined by a ruthless enemy that de-1 stroys what he cannot seize? The actions of these old wise I men do not portray any real radical changes Their accomplishments to date are that they have made Italy the battlefield between Germany and the Allies All that Instead of concentrating after the war on the basic material needs of their manufacturing customers the steel industry will be devoting increasing attention to the whims and taste of the typical American housewife That is the opinion of Kulas president Midland Steel Products and vice chairman of the executive committee of Jones Laughlin Corporation In looking ahead to the post-war future of the basic steel company Mr Kulas told me: think the general trend after the war will be one in which the producer of a basic product will get closer to the end-user than has been the case in the past reason for this once you stop to think about it is very simple The steel industry used to be a heavy industry But with our civilization as developed today a constantly larger tonnage is going into homes The devices we use for comfortable living and quick transportation are the things that will make big steel markets And there is no limit to these things except the ingenuity of the inventor the general public is becoming one of our big customers We'll want to know a great deal more than we used to about Mr Average Citizen and especially about his wife What are her preferences? What suits her as a buyer? I predict that in the forthcoming marketing era some steel men are going to be studying women's magazines with a good deal of interest to learn more about one of their big steel markets" Mr Kulas got into this discussion after I had pacity created by government financing is smaller than has been the case in other war industries Approximately 10 of the existing steel capacity is government financed Most of these new facilities however do not represent complete new plants They supplement existing facilities Since these latter can hardly be operated independently it1 would seem therefore that they must either be locked up by the government or else made available at a reasonable charge to the producers whose facilities they supplement the war 63000000 tons of ingots represented the maximum production in this country We shall enter the forthcoming peace years with a capacity of approximately 86000000 tons per year am inclined to question whether the ability of this country to consume steel has kept pace with that much expansion of capacity in the Pacific coast area for example two new fully-integrated steel plants put up to meet wartime conditions of demand will increase capacity by nearly 2000000 tods per year Whether that area after the war is over can support such a large addition to previously existing capacity is open to some question is true that consumer needs generally have been accumulating during wartime restrictions If you can tell me what government policy is going to be after the war on such matters as taxes cancellations materials control regulation of business and so forth I might venture a fuller answer to your question general I believe that if American Industry after the war is permitted to proceed at full speed on the basis of individual enterprise and open competition steel production in this country might well exceed the previous peacetime dig in and prepare for the ma jor battles that must come in other areas of combat There is no gainsaying of course that the air war has had a terrific effect but It may be said without the slightest disparagement of what has been done thus far that strategic bombing by night without re' gard to specific military targets such as may be accomplished In daylight precision bombing has yet to prove decisive in a military sense Strategic bombing plus taclica' bombing plus a major land inva sion across the English channel all together will yield the desired result It was only natural that Prime Minister Churchill should speak of air bombing aa an experiment last spring when he declared that the experiment was worth trying provided other means were not eluded The other means to which Mr Churchill referred have not been excluded They are being prepared on a bigger scale than military men have ever before visualized Everything In this war is bigger am deadlier than In previous wars The resources of the United Na tions make this possible No nation or group of nations can indefinitely stand up against the might of the Allies The only question to be answered Is when the surrender will be ef fectuated Military opinion here although giving all praise for the effectiveness of the air war still anticipates that the war must be won on the ground with tactical air power and tanka and artillery and across some of the same territory where our victorious armies marched in World War I The air war against Germany will of course not be diminished It will go on with Increasing fury But the plans for a large-scale in vasion are in the making and It cannot be long now before massive armies will be landed on the continent of Europe probably in sev-eral different places The invasion may well be anticipated to develop sometime between now and next April Unquestionably the moment selected will be at the time of greatest confusion and disorganization inside Germany That time may be approaching and it is devoutly to be hoped that an Internal collapse may come in Germany which will make an invasion unnecessary Then the argument will arise as to how much air power contributed how much the land and sea forces did in safeguarding bases from which the planes flew but such an academic argument would Tie most welcome In the meantime however plans are not being made on the assumption that such a collap'e is imminent Judging from the fact that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill have met always about six months ahead of momentous events related to military or naval strategy It may be assumed that a meeting is bring held or about to be held This is hinted in London dispatches passed by the censor and Marshal Stalin may be present too so it is possible that the big happenings of next spring are being anticipated by the governments of Russia Britain and the United States and China It may be that some pronouncement to the German people will be made urging them to overthrow their leaders and set up a government with which the United Nations can deal It may be that the main points or basis of a peace to follow unconditional surrender of the armed forces will be outlined Certainly there has not been any clear statement as yet aa to whether the German nation is to be dismembered and kept in slavery aa the Nazis predict in urging bitter-end resistance or whether the Allied governments will deal with the German people as they already have with the liberated Italian people Possibly an official declaration on these points will soon be forthcoming as a step in the psychological warfare that can help to shorten the days of combat Latins Call Us Suckers Whatever we may think of the globetrotting Senators we are boflnd to admit that after all they have served a useful purpose and this seems true of the criticisms made by Senator Butler of the millions of dollars we are spending in Latin-America to bolster our good-neighbor pol-iev Senator Butler after a first-hand survey says we have spent six billion dollars in those countries on projects which remind us of the old boon-doggling days and instead of winning the good will of the Latin-American peoples we have only aroused suspicion and at best we are regarded as Vice President Wallace felt called upon to make an apology to the Latin-American countries At the same time he declared that the figures quoted by Senator Butler were Nelson Rockefeller co-ordinator of the Office of Inter-American Affairs also said that the six billion dollar estimate a misrepresentation of the facts He said all expenditures and commitments to spend during the past three years by all government agencies including military and Naval installations total less than 600 million dollars in Latin-America He added that this figure in the case of the 6 billion dollar figure does not include sums spent for goods services and raw It would seem that Mr unfortunate experience would be sufficient to induce him to keep quiet after his run-in with Jesse Jones and the rebuke brought upon him by President Roosevelt The broad fact remains that Senator Butler is by no means alone in criticising the money we are spending in South America It is charged that large quantities of farm equipment has been sent to South America while farmers here at home were unable to get enough of such equipment to produce the crops that are sorely needed for our military and civilian consumption Adequate support of the farmers nere at home would have done more than anything else to keep down inflation Cotton farmers particularly have looked with great anxiety on the efforts that have been made by the government of the United States to encourage the increased production of cotton in Brazil and other South American countries It will take something more than Mr denial as to the amount of money spent to convince the American people that our activities in Latin-America are not boon-doggling or worse Exposing the Subsidy Plan Now that the Senate is about to take up consideration of the anti-subsidy bill it is worth while to point out some of the arguments against subsidies presented in the house One speaker pointed out that the contemplated roll-back on the retail price of milk meat and butter would save the average consumer under the rationing system about $632 a year To accomplish this it is proposed by the administration to spend 800 million dollars We are reminded that the national debt will probably reach 300 billion dollars and will not be paid for 50 years If in that debt is included 800 million dollars borrowed to pay out subsidies the interest alone on that amount would be 1 billion 180 million dollars principal and interest would be just under 2 billion dollars And all this to save the average family $632 a year- on the cost of living One speaker cited the fact that Washington newspapers were advertising for common laborers to be sent to war plants on the Pacific coast They were to be paid $71 a week and transportation It was not even necessary for him to ask if wages like that did not have much to do with failure to the against inflation seems different i the words of the I asked him whether the industry would emerge I the an unwieldy excess capacity the

Can't Feed the World A dispatch from Atlantic City says that Anglo-American forces have teamed up against any plan for the United Relief and Rehabilitation Council to divert supplies to famine areas in India in the near future China with large famine areas in addition to sections overrun by Japanese was in a peculiar position and tentatively sided with pleas from outside sources to make at least a gesture of aid towards India Great Britain and the United States certainly are not in any position to be feeding the wide world and the problem of India while eliciting the warmest sympathy is too vast to be solved by any temporary aid Fundamentally these famines with the attendant diseases are due to the religious fanaticism of the Hindus and Moslems alike So long as the caste system prevails among the Hindus and there are religious taboos against certain articles of food it seems quite impossible that any effective economic system can be put into practice in India It is a vast country with areas of great fertility that only needs to be with the hoe to make them laugh with the Sanitation and dietetics must be learned by the millions of India before these recurrent famines can be ended and it is out of the question for Great Britain and the United States at least to take any considerable part in feeding these unfortunates while they are learning the elements of sanity and self-support A SORESI How Is Your Health?
