Friday, April 11, ARGENTINE BEEF FOE AMERICAN SOLDIERS Tbs fanoers of Greene county could not have been given a greater shock than the statement of Mr, Joseph Mason, Chair­ man of-the Greene County AAA Farm Program, before a local group of farmers and cattle feeders last Thursday evening than to answer a criticism of the national administration pur­ chasing Argentine canned beef to*feed American soldiers1and sailors as good policy. In so doing Mr, Mason puts the in­ terest p f the American farmer as secondary to that of the, Argentine producer. / A - There is no comparison as to quality o f Argentine beef, grazed on wild pampas grass as compared with1' the native corn fed beef. Moroover Argentina has the “ hoof and mouth” disease the year round and this meat is purchased at a few cent a pound and canned, not even under inspection such as is required in this country, and we are told it is good enough for not only Greene county boys in the army and navy but all others in the service. Mr. Mason being head of the federal program and on salary, is a “ good soldier” and obeying .Washington orders. It is his duty, to sell the wh^at quota plan as he says “ in order to maintain our Democra(t) ey,” East week the Senate one day voted to .prohibit the pur­ chase of “ hoof and mouth meat” on a tie .vdte, but over night one vote was found that had been listed “ wrong” we read in the press. This permitted purchase of Argentine beef. On Monday of this week the Senate voted again and once more the western senators, Republicans and uncontrolled Democrats, voted by a good majority against the New Deal plan but later the Roosevelt-Hull free trade idea prevailed after threats had been made against Democratic senators if they did not line up and support the purchase of Argentine canned beef for the army and navy. SENATOR MORRIS SHEPHERD DEAD , ■ ‘ » • ■ - i The sudden death of Senator. Morris Shepherd, 69, who for thirty-nine years has represented Texas in Congress,and the Senate, died suddenly following an attack o f cerebral hemor­ rhage Tuesday, in Washington. Senator Shepherd became famous over the nation as the father of the prohibition measure that was repealed upon the ascendency of the Roosevelt dynasty. Coming from Texas he of course represented the Democracy in that state and was re­ garded as a conservative. He,: like a score or more southern senators disliked very much the Roosevelt political trend to nrnnTmmism, hut he had to. swallow it and like it or be cut off from federal patronage. W M m h m m The -whole nation seem* .concerned about the strike situation and there Is reaction especially among the parents and friends o f draftees who are in camp arid will draw $2J a month while union Industrial -workers drawing eight* ten or twelve dollars a day are on strike asking* fo r higher wages, shorter hoursjmd vacations with pay. fetters to the"newspapers in large as well as small communities reflect a bad feeling that draftees are not be­ ing treated fairly, The New Dealers do not show much sympathy for the draftees and less for parents, taking the view thi. they should give their services' .as a patriotic duty—-the Roosevelt sell-out to aid Britain, ■ The Senator at heart was dry and belived in the prohibi­ tion cause as necessary for the future of the nation. Here, he in his official capacity, met the determined planned program of Roosevelt to turn the nation over to the liquor interests. From that time oh the Senator like many of his associated, had to battle, between their consciences and political expediency forc­ ed on them by continued threats 'from the White House. It is said that continued worry over being forced to take up Eng­ land’s cause in the European war as chairman of the Senate Military Committee. Or public humiliation from Roosevelt, brought about his condition. 1—The fate that has fallen-to Senator Shepherd is what has fallen to other Democratic members of the present congress, all of which has been.due to worry over being forced to follow orders, right or wrong, from the White House. Hitler 'is not the only Hitler in the world and more* than one Democratic Congressman and Senator secretly express.themselves against White House dictation- under political threats.8 If A1 Capone had played politics as he engaged in the illegal liquor traffic and the means he used to force bootleggers to-buy his product, he would be a pikeir as compared to the dictator methods of the Hyde Park Squire. MICKEY’ S IN A LOVE JAM AGAIN ! Labor circles are watching with in­ terest the U. S. Steel strike arid the one in the Ford auto plant. Washing­ ton correspondents say’ both Roosevelt and Perkins will do everything pos­ sible to load union labor and dictator­ ship on these two plants. General motors fell for the Roosevelt demands more than a yeaT ago and went 100 per "cent union after a long series of strikes where that company suffered great losses. General Motors today has been favored with more than a half billion in war orders. *In the tarly days o f the Roosevelt adminis tratipn, U. S. Steel bucked, but when the CIO got into the picture Roose­ velt prevailed on a ,U« S. Steel head executive to give in. Wages went up and so did prices of steel. II. S. also got all the government business and in addition the executive was given an- honorary appointment to Rome, all for being a good hoy and not op­ posing the White .House. The meat in the Ford, labor nut is •'Will ,Forid sign a contract to turn his plant management over, to union leaders?” The argument around the conference table may go on for days sttMnam to m le iA fb t Britain war on t i» Am oriap got*. Whtttar fa CineiniMrfd km m a kttg* crowd last ?rid*y night charged that both Roose­ velt and Willfcfa made campaign prom­ ises fo r aid fo r England “ short o f w a r” Now both have come into the open for opes war at any cost, Since the loase-fand bill, passed Roosevelt has dropped the “ short o f war” plea. Senator Wheeler compared the two candidates on this issue. He > could have placed WBlkle on the spot had he publicly insisted just what the Ire­ land chief executive told him when he made a viait to Brin~to-prevail on little Ireland opening her ports to England fop w a r‘ supplies—and Ger­ man submarines. Ireland fo r years was in slavery under the English heel and it took years o f ’civil war to gain her independence, Wiilkie nor Roose­ velt have ever referred to the trip to Ireland but Ireland has evidently stood pat, like Switzerland, and remains independent. A t least she has denied England using her ports even a t the request o f the New Deal and Secre­ tary Hull. and everyfiody'agree, but wlRfiirthero that can make Ford put his name on the dotted line? The law does not compel an employer to sign. The New" Deal has a law that plants can be commandeered and operated by the government. This is looked for in some sections with interest, Roosevelt has “ run everything he has attempted in the ground with a red flag over it” and there is speculation as to what he will do making trucks, autos, tractors. More than one concern feels a chill on the spinal column when, this is men­ tioned for factory management does not' know the day when union labor might strike and the government under Roosevelt and Perkins operate gante. Left handed union management, is best illustrated when a Cincinnati in­ dustrialist died, after many years of success. He left part o f his estate to charity but the good will, business and manufacturing plant was left to .his employees, many of whom had been officers and directors under his direc lion. Everything went well for several months when trouble developed among union labor working in a closed shop operated by union members j>s em­ ployees arid stockholders. Many cm ployees wanted higher wages out in the shop and the same methods were employed as with any corporate com pany. More money or Wc will strike. Even' dividends did not interest the radicals who. wanted more money ir respective o f what happened to the |company. They did not want money { used to replace old machinery or any j reserve o f any kind. These radicals j had the true Rooscveltian spirit in in j dustrial management.
