T}XPER1ENCED farmers know that in construct-
-C' ing new farm buildings first cost isn’t, the
only thing to consider. Others are upkeep and life
of the structure.
For thrifty farmers concrete is the ideal structural
material. Its first cost is moderate. Its maintenance
expense is low. It lasts a lifetime. Concrete is low
annual cost construction.
Besides, concrete masonry can’t burn. It can’t
decay. Termites can’t eat it. Rats can’t gnaw through
it. Concrete masonry farm structures are dry, com-
fortable, attractive to look at.
Call on your local concrete products manufac-
turer for help in using concrete masonry construc-
tion for farm buildings.
Always insist on concrete masonry units which
meet the specifications of the American Society for
Testing Materials (ASTM).

Chinese Probe
Members of the house committee
on executive expenditures are pri- |
vately eyeing the«big Chinese lobby j
that Mme close to writing a (JO mil-
lion dollar handout tot the Chiang
Kai-shek government into the Presi-
dent's bill for emergency relief f<»
Europe. The lobby did succeed tri !
snagging 18 millibn dollars for '
Chiang.
To date, the U S. has given and |
lent the Cliiang government over
five billion dollars.
The state department estimates J
that there are 200 Chiang agents and ;
propagandists now in the U. S. While !
congress was considering the emer-
gency relief bill, the Capital liter- I *
ally swarmed with Chinese. At a I
senate appropriations committee
hearing, some 20 Chinese milled j
around the committee’s chamber. ;
Members of the expenditures
committee are very curious about
bow this Chiang lobby is being fi-
nanced. Also. who organized it and
who is runnipg it.

Theory vs. Actuality
During the London conference one ,
U. S. delegate confided to a friend I
that “we have been scared stiff for j
fear tlje Russians would take us up
on our plan for unifying Germany.'
If they did. 1 don't know where we'd '
be." Fortunately, the Russians
weren't smart enough and the Lon-
don conference of foreign ministers
ended in a stalemate-- exactly what '
the United States wanted.
In other words, the U. S. has
pul itself in the unenviable post- |
'lion of not wanting a peace
treaty for Germany—the same
obstructionist position it has ac-
cused Russia of occupying for 1
the last two > ears.
All this boils down to the fact that
General Marshall is convinced that,
once the four zoni's of Germany ate
unified, the Russians will soon domi-
nate all Germany.. Thus, for two ,
long years, the U. S. has been harp- 1
ing on the idea of unifying Germany j
and now y.e are worried sick for I
fear it will be unified. This reversal
of position to.some extent is a retire- j
tion on ourselves—by at least 50 per
cent.
It boils down to two facts:
i We know the Russians
1 alone a better job politically in I I
their zone than we have in ours. I )
This doesn't mean that the Germans ' —
love them but it does mean thnt the
Russians have carefully built up a
German arnty, trained to take or-
ders from Moscow. Also, t
indoctrinated some
German leaders with enough Com-
munist allegiance to gradually take
ovSr the other zones of Germany
once Germany is unified.
We know from expefience that
the Russians will be absolutely
ruthless in opposing the U. S., once
Germany is unified. In other words,
theoretically. American newspapers
then would circulate in the rest of
Germany but they wouldn't — they
would disappear in sewers.
So, despite weeks of London de-

Battle Over Bonds
WASHINGTON,-The hottest bat- j rn"T.V 1st, H>48 ns u
too much money. Money in circuln- i
tion In the U. S. today is three times i
the amount in 1940. The bankers I
hold that the way to counteract this 1
tremendous volume of money is to i
tighten up on bank loans. And the |
most effective wny to do that, they I
assert, is for the government to stop J
underpinning marketable govern- !
ment bonds and permit them to :
reach their "natural” level.
In recent weeks, marketable gov-
ernment bonds have evinced marked
weakness. They have sold off con-
siderably from previous high prices
There is no question that, if the fed-
eral reserve system withdrew its ,
support of there bonds, they would
nosedive.
Administration financial leaders j
are dead set against the bankers’
demand.

gress ruckus.
This behind-the-scenes tug-of-war
is between the administration and
top bankers, and is a lot more im-
portant to the country than the noisy
congressional row. The banker bat-
tle is the real crux of the inflation-
control Issue.
Briefly, this is what this key fight
is about:
The bankers want the govern-
ment to stop .maintaining the
price of 11. s. bonds at par.
These are not the F„ F and G
series savings bonds, which
have nothing to do with this con-
troversy. These bonds are liter-
ally what they are called—sav-
ings bonds. They are the same
as greenbacks. They are non-
marketable and can be cashed
any time tor their specified
value. The bonds the banker*
are talking about are the varlomi
short- and long-term Issuex that
are marketable. The great bulk
of these bond* are held by
banks, Insurance companies and
corporations.

lize the southern farm conditions better than anything else.
These and other similar conditions are neither a bene-
fit, much less a credit to the South. Yet to point them out
is, according to some gentlemen, communism.
The trouble with al] of them, whether Democrats c”
I Republicans, is that these politicians think always more of i
