HATCHS IN WASHINGTON B y CLARENCE J, BROWN Member o f iCongreesp Seventh Ohio District I f the preseat plans o f Adminis­ tration leaders work out as expected an amendment to the Selective Ser­ vice Act providing' fo r the conscrip­ tion o f eighteen and- nineteen year old boys will he passed and approyed b y the President before the end o f this week. Oii Monday night o f last week, in a notion-wide radio broad­ cast, President Roosevelt declared the time had arrived ,in America’s war effort when it was necessary .to lower the draft, age from twenty to eighteen years. The .next day, he requested his party tedders in the Congress to proceed at once with, the necessary , legislation to make eighteen and nine* teen yfear'Olds subject to the draft. Early Wednesday morning hearings on -the legislation were begun before " both the House and Senate Military A ffairs Committees. General Mar­ shall, as head o f the Army, Admiral King, SB head o f the Navy, and Gen. Hershey, as Director o f the National Selective Service System, as well as Secretary o f War Stimson and other high officials, all testified that the prebent military situation is such as to make mandatory the conscription o f the'eighteen and nineteen year- old groups, The bill was reported to "the House by unamimous action o f the Military Affairs Committee late Thursday evening, debate Was begun Saturday, and the bill passed late the same day by a heavy majority. Mardi Gras Paytyy* The bill for lowering the draft age had no ‘ enthusiastic~ ’support in the -Congress. The Members who voted .for it did so with reluctance and re­ gret, and only because the President, as Commander-in-Chief o f the arniy forces o f the*United States, and his • subordinate chieftains in charge for the Army and Navy, insisted that such action was necessary fo r Winning the war and fo r the safety o f the nation. Neither the Congress nor thp, people 'have been given any great amount Of real inforination enjthe war’s devel- opmehts. and many Members o f Coti-! grCSS, being without sufficient In­ formation on the military Situation t t o 1properly judge our man - power . needs, believe it necessary to agree . to the demands o f the Commander in Chief and his Aides, who are re­ sponsible for the conduct o f the war.

Premier Hfepburn had resigned as head o f the Ontario pro­ vincial government. In as much as the writer With a number Of American publishers were invited guests at the Parliment House last* summer We are not surprised that he -would resign any post if he was called upon to do some­ thing ho felt would not be good for his government and his people. He states in his resignation disagreement over war policy With Prime Minister Mackenzie King, Head o f the Canadian government on conduct of the War. King has been trying to follow in the footsteps o f Churohill-Roosevelt which grinds the Ganadian people. The fact England sent several thousand Gana­ dian soldiers into a death trap set by Hitler without a single English sol­ dier was the start o f the break be­ tween the Canadian people and the government, Only a few o f the Ca­ nad ian soldiers escaped alive.

As to the future for hogs there is not the chance o f loss as with cattle. The turhover js, quicker. Even the farmer himself is not to enjoy the product o f his firm without meeting the New Deal regu­ lations, A glimpse o f the future up- der dictatorship can be gained by the following story from the Chicago Tribune: ^ “ When federal meat rationing to consumers begins, every chop, steak, , and roast that reaches the dinner table will-be a product o f an almost* completely regimented agriculture. : Since 1933' the government has pulled farmers steadily into the.plan­ ned economy sdienie. With more rapidity, the meat pack­ ers and retailers have been fitted into he, plan, and a place prepared fo r the consumer during recent, months; Of, tightening war .controls. ' 1 This has been accomplished largely thru price, ceiling regplajbipns, the power to curb packers ' operations, parcel out lucrative’ meat canning con­ tracts to a*.selected-few, promise* .Of subsidies to others, and authority to allocate supplies.- Final Step' Comes Jani 1 ' The last step to complete''the regi­ mentation circle will be taken Jan. 1," when every person in the country will be told exactly the amount *of meat lie Can eat and be.given, a ration’ eard.

The program to gain control o f fded grains begad with farmers being paid to join' the AAA. The majority did .so. This was followed by threats o f price penalties and gtoin embar­ goes fo r the “ rugged individuals” who refused to be cajoled, A fight waged by wheat farmers ended with farmers permitted to sell only part o f what they grew, the tost to be held on farms until the planners decided they Could dispose of it.
