TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the concluding article in a series by Ralph H. Taylor, farm leader and veteran legislative observer, on the question: "Can Post-War America Survive and Prosper As a Free Trade Nation?" The greatest danger of people being misled into false thinking and faulty conclusions on the tariff question is the danger inherent in sweeping, generalized statements on a subject which is far too complex for such generalizations. Proponents of free trade, for example, usually start from the wholly unsound premise that not to believe in free trade is not to believe in international trade. Actually, as Editor Wheeler McMillen of the Farm Journal declared in his recent statement of the case before the Economic Leadership Conference: "Agriculture is in favor of international trade. Agriculture is in favor of tariffs. There is no necessary conflict between these two positions." One of the biggest jobs the American people will confront in the post-war period, when the nation is struggling to get back to normal conditions, will be the task of ridding our Federal Government of deadwood and parasitic appendages, so that abnormal governmental costs will not sap the economic strength of the country and act as a deterrent to production and full employment. The sprawling colossus of government centered in the national capital, which radiates out into every state and virtually every community, has become so vast and complex that it will drain away the very lifeblood of the country if it is not drastically pruned back when peace comes. There is now general agreement on this point by all sound economists—and Big Government, as personified in the Federal Government, is recognized as one of the major problems to be dealt with after V-day, if not before. Not so generally recognized, however, is the fact that the virus of bureaucracy is highly infectious and is rapidly spreading from Washington, D.C., into state and local governments, with the result that the contagion will have to be dealt with by state legislatures, boards of supervisors and city councils, just as vigorously as by the congress. The Calfornia State Legislature, now well embarked on its 1945 session, certainly needs to guard against spread of the contagion in both state and local governments, quish the large measure of over their local affairs who will inevitably be called relinquish if they accept hand-out from state government made the mistake of ruining Washington for hand-out learned that they have thority left over projects nanced. The Central Valleyect is a case in point. A government, close to the still the best government—guarantee against Big Government, which can so easily espathetic government. It is to be hoped the future will proceed cautiously.

Actually, as Editor Wheeler McMillen of the Farm Journal declared in his recent statement of the case before the Economic Leadership Conference: "Agriculture is in favor of international trade. Agriculture is in favor of tariffs. There is no necessary conflict between these two positions. "Farmers are still in position to produce quantities of certain commodities in excess of the effective domestic demand. They would like to have profitable export markets for some of their output. As consumers, they desire certain agricultural products from other parts of the world. They have been accustomed to using coffee, tea, cocoa, spices and rubber among the many agricultural materials which they do not produce. They believe that trade in such commodities is of mutual advantages and thoroughly sound. "Farmers are keenly aware in addition that the great market for their output is within the borders of the United States. They desire to see American industries prosper and commercial enterprises active. They have observed that well-paid workers who are busy the year around are much better customers for food than ill-paid part-time workers. Therefore, they are anxious that those industries partially dependent upon export sales shall be able to send their goods abroad. They are perfectly willing that both their own goods and the exported industrial commodities shall be paid for by the customary procedures which make American dollars available to foreign buyers, including the reception of imports into this country." "Farmers are not willing, however, that industrial exports shall be paid for principally with imports which compete with what American farmers produce!" There is the real rub between farmers and urban free traders, for unfortunately not only the representatives of foreign interests but many of our own industrialists are perfectly willing to sacrifice the welfare of American agriculture to serve their own ends—even though that is certainly a dangerous and short-sighted policy for any American business man. Ill advised tariff schedules CAN become trade barriers, either by being too high or too low. And few of the real leaders in the farming industry wish for prohibitive protection for the spur of bureaucracy is highly infectious and is rapidly spreading from Washington, D.C., into state and local governments, with the result that the contagion will have to be dealt with by state legislatures, boards of supervisors and city councils, just as vigorously as by the congress. The Cal fornia State Legislature, now well embarked on its 1945 session, certainly needs to guard against spread of the contagion in both state and local governments, for there are many evidences at Sacramento this year of the trend toward bigness in government, with many types of new governmental services under consideration. If the legislature is fully mindful of the economic shock which is bound to come with the shut down of our war industries, when the revenues of state government are certain to fall off precipitately, it will go very slow at this session in creating new bureaus and services which may become an intolerable load on our people after the war. Proposals for new expenditures and new services cannot be judged solely on the basis of whether they are desirable, however, for the individual has learned that he can't afford to satisfy all his desires—and government must learn the same lesson. Governor Warren's objective, for example, in proposing a compulsory health insurance program, designed to guarantee every man, woman and child in the state prepaid medical and hospital care, may be considered a worthy objective by many people, although there are others who fear that it might lead eventually to a system of state medicine which would greatly extend the power of government over the people. But assuming, for the sake of argument, that the fears of setting up a bureaucratic medical machine are ungrounded, there still remains the question: "Can we afford such a program?" Apart from any state financing that may be required to get the program going, Governor Warren has stated that it will require a 3 per cent payroll tax, half to be paid by the employee and half by the employer, to finance the plan. Many medical authorities, however, estimate the cost will run much higher. And that raises the question: How much of his paycheck is the individual going to be willing to surrender to government?

Ill advised tariff schedules CAN become trade barriers, either by being too high or too low. And few of the real leaders in the farming industry wish for prohibitive protection; for the spur of competition should always remain to inspire greater efficiency. But wisely-applied tariffs are both a protection and a stimulus to trade. Actually, the most dangerous trade barrier is lack of purchasing power—and the removal of all trade barriers would utterly destroy the purchasing power of the American people. Agriculture is still, and probably always will remain America's fundamental industry. One fourth Americans are farmers and depend directly on the soil for their income. Another fourth, in the towns and small cities, never have a dollar that wasn't "coined," figuratively speaking, on the farm. The result is that half of the nation's population is dependent for its livelihood on the farm. As Editor McMillen concluded: "Agriculture creates and endless flow of new wealth for America out of the soil and air, the rain and the sun. Each year agriculture does it again. Half of America lives on the new farm dollars, first hand or second hand. No one can estimate the beneficial economic lifting force of the land and fourth and seventh turn of those dollars." "Let us never permit a foreign invasion to paralyze that power!" And that raises the question: How much of his paycheck is the individual going to be willing to surrender to government? And even though he is willing, how much more SHOULD the individual surrender, if governmetal monopolies of many forms are to be avoided, and if the individual is to retain much of any control over his own earnings and way of life? It's something to think about—and it will behoove the legislature to move very slowly before committing the state to such a program, no matter how desirable the objective may seem. Another example: The League of California Cities, with the County Supervisors Association concurring, is petitioning the legislature for a grant of $100,000,000 in state funds to finance a post-war public works program for the cities and counties. And they are suggesting that the state tax reduction program which was inaugurated two years ago be abandoned, and that taxes be returned to their former high levels, to finance the program. No one will question the desirability of post-war projects to provide a stockpile of needed jobs during the transition from war to a peace-time economy, provided the projects are surrounded with adequate safeguards. A request for $100,000,000, however, again raises the question, in this writer's opinion, is whether the cities and counties can afford to relinch.

WAR BONDS will guard a post-war depression. quish the large measure of control over their local affairs which they will inevitably be called upon to relinquish if they accept such a hand-out from state government. State and local government which made the mistake of running to Washington for hand-outs have learned that they have little authority left over projects thus financed. The Central Valley Project is a case in point. And local government, close to the people, is still the best government—the best guarantee against Big Government, which can so easily turn into despotic government. It is to be hoped the legislature will proceed cautiously. Health Department Reports Measles Increase In County A "measle's year" has been predicted and already 73 cases are listed in Orange County as against a normal of 13 for this time of year, Dr. Edward Lee Russell, county health officer, reports in urging that parents have their children innoculated against the infectious disease soon after exposure so that only "light" attacks will follow. A quantity of immune globulin, a by-product of blood plasma, is available at the health department and is successful in immunizing children exposed to measles. Dr. Russell advises parents to contact their physicians who can obtain the globulin free of charge from the health department. He says that if the globulin is used in the first two days after exposure the child is not likely to contract the disease. In most cases the innoculation is used from four to seven days after exposure which usually allows the child to have a mild case of measles thereby building Post-War Farmer Will Have Benefit of 'Walkie-Talkie' to Direct Operations Although it becomes increasingly difficult as time goes on to separate post-war fantasy from fact, one thing seems certain—the farmer will have his walkie-talkie if he wants it. The Federal Communications Commission has allocated the portion of the radio spectrum between 460 and 470 megacycles for personal two-way radiophone communication between civilians. Present plans are to set up licensing offices where application may be made for exclusive use of a wave band. Farmers will be given top rating. Each walkie-talkie set will occupy 3 kilocycles, thus permitting 3,333 stations to talk in a two mile area without over-lapping. The reliable range of operation for the radiophone or handle-talkie will be one mile. The instrument will be built like a French phone with antenna, and will weigh about as much as the small personal radio receiver of pre-war days. No technical knowledge will be required to operate it beyond the ability to use a press-to-talk switch while transmitting. Rural uses are practically unlimited. On large ranches, instead of seeing the men one or twice a day, the farmer will now be able to have constant contact with them. Or, to save battery, time schedules can be arranged for stations to be on the air. The wife at the ranch house can be in touch with her husband. Telephone calls can be relayed, and in some cases transmitted directly. This last "radio-telephone" link will be a boon to isolated ranchers and miners who cannot be served by regular telephone wire services. The handle-talkie will not be made available for purely pleasure uses but will be given on the Special Wed. Night Lenten Services At St. Michael's Throughout the lenten season special services will be held each Wednesday night at St. Michael's Episcopal church and a series of interesting talks will be given by Rev. W. J. Hatter of Santa Ana on "Pictures of the Passion." On Sunday mornings at the 10:00 o'clock public worship hour, Rev. Hatter will deliver a series of lectures on "Religion of Our Lord." Rev. Hatter is acting as supply minister until such time as a regular minister is appointed to fill the place left vacant by Rev. D. Howard Dow. In the absence of a regular minister there will not be any Thursday morning communion lenten services as in past years. Leo Friis Tells Kiwanis Club Early Anaheim History Members of the local Kiwanis club meeting Tuesday noon at the Elks club learned something of the early history of this city and the surrounding area from City Attorney Leo J. Friis, guest speaker. The speaker has made a study of the city's history as a hobby and recounted events beginning with July of 1769 when the expedition of Portola camped on the east bank of the Santa Ana river near Olive. He outlined the history of the ranches and told of the various early settlers in this area. and is successful in immunizing children exposed to measles. Dr. Russell advises parents to contact their physicians who can obtain the globulin free of charge from the health department. He says that if the globulin is used in the first two days after exposure the child is not likely to contract the disease. In most cases the innoculation is used from four to seven days after exposure which usually allows the child to have a mild case of measles thereby building an immunity to future attacks. The bright spot in the respiratory picture, Dr. Russell said, is that no tuberculosis cases have been reported due largely to the watchfulness of health authorities. The report further disclosed that there are five cases of diptheria in the county against a normal of none; 21 of scarlet fever with a normal of 14; 10 of whooping cough against a normal of 26; 39 of mumps against a normal of 105 and five of rheumatic fever against a normal of none. There are 56 cases of chickenpox against a normal of 67 for this time of year. New Ad Man at Santa Fe West Coast L. A. Office Appointment of Wilson M.

University Farm And Davis Campus Open March First Acute Shortage Of Farm Labor Outlook for 1945 Probability of a farm labor shortage so acute that the Extension Service may again be faced with the task of rationing the supply of Mexican nationals was discussed by B. H. Crocheron, director of Agricultural Extension Service, in a statement made yesterday setting forth the farm labor outlook for 1945. Director Crocheron said the Office of Labor has announced a tentative allocation to California of 33,000 Mexican nationals, as compared to 38,000 used in 1944, and about half the number California farmers will probably order in 1945. In making an analysis of the farm labor situation for the Office of Labor prior to the allocation, the California Extension Service estimated that 54,000 Mexican nationals would be the minimum number which could meet the most critical necessities. Although American citizens continue to be the largest segment in the farm labor force, there has not been enough of this regular labor force to grow and harvest the big war crops. It has been necessary to supplant the labor force with volunteers from cities and towns, with prisoners of war, and with Mexican nationals. Orange County citrus growers are taking cognizance of the possible shortage of Mexican national workers this season and are now negotiating with the Extension Service for prisoners of war. Later the Los Angeles Vineyard Society was disincorporated and its holdings were transferred to the Anaheim Water Co., now known as the Anaheim Elks club now stands. Reason for Anaheim's streets being laid out as they are, was because that was the direction in which the water for the vineyards ran best. He also led a movement to create a county of Anaheim, but that fell through, probably because considerable of the area of the present Los Angeles county was included and the measure was defeated in the state legislature. Strauble conceived the idea to organize a syndicate to purchase Catalina Island for development agriculturally and to exploit any minerals that might be found there. He went to London to organize this syndicate, where he was successful in this undertaking, WILSON FLEMING nounced today by C. C. Thompson, general passenger agent for the Coast Lines. Fleming transfers to the Coast Lines from Topeka, Kan., where he was advertising agent. He succeeds J. J. Franz who resigned recently to join the staff of a local advertising firm. Stanley R. Helin, advertising clerk at Los Angeles, has been appointed to succeed Fleming as advertising agent at Topeka. Helin has been connected with the advertising department for nearly 15 years. He entered company service at Chicago in 1930 and had been employed in Los Angeles since July 1, 1939. U.S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE HELPS VETERANS The Santa Ana Office of the United States Employment Service placed 375 veterans in employment out of a total of 39,627 placed by 33 Southern California offices of the United States Employment Service during 1944, Ray Mathewson, manager announced today. In 1943 the Santa Ana U.S.E.S. office placed 56 out of the Southland total of 11,749. The office placed 48 veterans during December compared to 49 in November. The Southern California total for December was 3,844 compared to 3,577 in November. WAR BONDS will guard against a post-war depression. University Farm And Davis Campus Open March First After two years, the Davis campus of the University of California will be open again for students on March 1. In making this announcement, Dean Q. B. Hutchison of the College of Agriculture says instruction will be given for the first term only in non-degree agriculture, or practical courses in the two-year curriculum. Just when the regular college degree work will be resumed, depends upon conditions, he says. In February, 1943, the United States Army Signal Corps occupied the Davis campus and instruction in agriculture and other courses was abandoned there, although research was continued as usual On October 31 last year, the Signal Corps had evacuated and it is now determined that practical training, particularly for returning soldiers, will start with the beginning of the spring term. Any person, whether a high school graduate or over eighteen years of age, may enroll. Those interested in the courses offered may consult the Farm Advisor's Office in Santa Ana, which represents the College of Agriculture in Orange County. K. A. Ryerson, assistant dean of the College of Agriculture will be in direct charge of activities. Mattie L. Curtis, 81, Dies at Daughter’s Home Tuesday Mattie L.
