BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District The President's recent drastic ac­ tion in ordering; the German and Ital Ian consulates, ns well as all travel agencies, closed in the United State* has brought mixed reactions in Con­ gress. Many believe the action was necessary to protect the United States against possible subversive acts and sabotage. It is generally agreed in Washington that the closing o f the Axis “consulates, together, with the freezing o f funds 4n' his country be- .longing to the'Axis' Powers, constitu­ tes another long step toward Ameri­ can involvement in ati actual shooting war. The latest move by the United States in thirfield of international dip­ lomacy has, as waB expected, brought retalitory action by both Germany .and Italy. The -next move is awaited with great interest. * As the'days and weeks go by it iB. becoming increasingly difficult to get truthful -and uncolored news out” of Europe, The situation has been reach­ ed wheremany members of Congress, with all sorts of sources of informa­ tion, are hard pressed to determine just what to believe and what to dis­ believe .of the many reports coming from overseas. As this is written.ru- mors and stories of every nature as to What is actually going on between Germany and Russia are reaching Washington. More and more talk is being heard in Washington and along the Atlantic seaboard about Union Now. Union Now simply means an immediate join­ ing of .the British Empire, and the* United States into one, super-govetn- erit, Thfe adoption of such a policy -would undoubtedly mean the aband­ onment, of much of present American independence. There are many politi­ cal and economic objections to such a union; Just how the United. States will fit into the proposed union, has .not. i yet been announced. - Whether America would accept the - British King as rulef, or Britainwould accept ih* President a* the highest power in the Union, also remains to be deluded. Yet those who sponsor the Union Now movement—and there are'many ex­ ponents o f the plan—brand those who oppose them, and place the interests o f the United States first, as being “unpatriotic and un-American". Just ns a gentle reminder, perhaps it should be mentioned here thakJune 15th was the day on which install­ ments were supposed to .be paid to-the United States by other nations on money they borrowed from this coun­ try -a generation ago. to “make the World safe for democracy.” Much of the borrowed money was borrowed during World War No, 1, but'a size­ able portion was borrowed’ after the war for rehibilitation purposes. Both the- principal and intetest have been scaled down- greatly during recent years but the* totaL indebtedness still due the United States is thirteen bil­ lion. five hundred and ninety-one mil- llion six hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars/ Of this amount Great Britain owes the most—five bil­ lion Seven hundred and twenty-nine million. France comes next with four billion two hundred and fifty-nine mil* lion dollars, Italy: follows with in­ debtedness-of two billion and twenty- nine million. More than a dozen other nations owe the balance, among them Some countries that have ceased to exist. emmr wms i # I I jffiSFtfiffr JHBDAY, JUNE 27, lM t nnnnina Vbaw-Y.

Camp Claiborne, La., Tues., June 3,1941 Dear Mom: Well I thought I would let you know bow I am, after getting settled here. We left Camp Shelby about 3:40 Sunday morning and arriv.ed in Baton- Rouge about 12:30. We stayed there until 4:00 A. M. Monday, and arrived hero at Comp Claiborne at-11:00 A. M. We are about twelve miles from Alex­ andria, La. I waB a little tired which cOuld be expected by the way we rode. There were four of us in the back of one of those one-half ton jeeps. We also had our barrack bag with our clothing and our pack, half a tent, one blanket and a raincoat. We put all of these on the floor and laid-on top of them. Wp alsd had our rifles to bring. One of "the boys who drives a jeep asked me to ride with him and we had it a little better than the rest, Who rode in the one and one-half ton trucks. We are really living in the rough now. I am writing this letter by candle-light lying on a “feather” mat­ tress made of blue grass hay. I have not shaved since Friday noon. They finally did take us to a shower, about three miles away this P. M. and let us wash some of the dirt off. We have Hot done much yet but will go somewhere and have some instruc­ tions 'Wednesday morning and then have the afternoon off. - Where we stayed in Baton Rouge, on the Aifport, which was a pretty large place. Some of the boys Went into town in the afternoon and found out what southern hospitality really is. People driving by would stop and offer to take them to town s.

For this-teason, this letter will deal with -farm conditions almost exclusively arid is based up interviews with Canadian, pjublsljers, some5o f whom own farms, and business men as well as government authorities. We shall also quote from Canadian dally papers .items o f interest-to Ohio and Greene county farmers. We crossed the hordef at Niagara where we were met by public officials, business -interests And leaders in the Canadiannewspaper organizations. As you make B.purchtise o f say, one dol­ lar, the clerk hand* ybii back ten cents with the remark;- “Here’s your ex­ change” Somewhat different in Ohio when'the clerk e ty t “Here’s yOtar Sales stamp.” The most important farm topic out­ side the w*r is the dry Weather. We read that the drought will affect the cheese' industry And qtit Ontario’s share in providing 112,000,006 pounds for Britain. T He government is urg­ ing farmers to do heavier grain feed­ ing to increase miJk flow; The govern­ ment has issued a formula to dairy­ men for feeding tojfcrep np*milk pro­ duction. “ 'l ~ One notite/in Toronto market reports that butter is ,3354'c1whole­ sale. Eggs 30c' a doken, Prices on fat cattle top at $9.09, In the export market we find Canada shipped last week 2,784 fat cattle to the {United States. Also 2,601 calves and 2,043 hogs. So far this year th# K«w Deal “Good NrighbbrT’R ky* ha* let in 46,908'head o f fat cattte; 7,684 dairy cows, and 31,348 calves. , , A report, of the York County Coun­ cil asks the government to treat' the milk problem-as a public utility. At present producers are getting 4 to 6c a quart, With the* retail-price at 14c. It was suggested that a dose o f the CIO might stir"farmers; We see'where MisS Agnes McPRail, farm leader; addressed ' a group of 2000 on farm'problems; She. at' one time was a farm organisation mem­ ber of Ontario Parliament. She said in her address, “Farmers will have to be paid to produde for We cannot go on producing for patriotic reasons only.” This recalls Roosevelt’s public state­ ment that American farmers would have to work harder, for longer hours, and sacrifice profits due to the war, as a patriotic Spirit. And they will get it—urtder the whsat quot*. Here, there is much’ comment during a Victory war bond drivefbr $600,000,- 000, Sr/e bonds, that the time is near when all real estate will bear a special war tax. Premier Hepburn says there must be an equality of sacrifices. The land tax would be a Dominion tax for the war. Wherever We have been in the Great Ontario district, the heads of wheat are very small, only “partly filled. The oats crop is as near a failure as we have ever seen. The weather report shows the rainfall for April and May to be far below the usual average. With much of the com hotyet sprout­ ed, there is poor prospect for anything like a normal Crop. The last chance for a crop now is to plant buckwheat on com and oats ground—if it rains. With the war and industry drawing heavy on labor, the Canadian farmer faces big labor cost* like his Amer! can neighbor. Both face organized farm labor. Government subsidy to farmers gives the labor organizers ground for argument to line up mem bets. Two weeks sgo we received « report that there waU talk In labor circles that an effort would be made to organize fan* labor In Clark and Greene Counties before fall. The pros­ pect for harvest labor is anything hut bright at this tidte and industry will be taking on more new men to fill the places vacated by thwte whd are called by conscription* We were interested In knowing something about the manner in which Canada builds Its army and MS learn there is no conscription o r draft; ate all men in th* army, navy, and air force are mfuatettr. ’EM? efttlK for four month’s testate*.
