F R ID A Y , DECEMBER 2 4 ,1 9 4 3 “ FARMER” MORGENTHAU • When Treasurer Secretary Morgenthau recently announ­ ced he -fras selling: his fine Holstein dairy herd because he couldn’t make money he received a great deal of sympathy he-, cause (a) he apparently was another victim of New Deal regi­ mentation and (b) he obviously was unable to .operate at a profit even under the milk subsidies. But the thing that drove Farmer Morgenthau out of busi­ ness clearly, was his own ineptness at operating a business he didn't know anything about. Anyway, this is the conclusion of Ralph Hendershot, .New York World-Telegram financial editor, •who attended the sale then reported: * The sale brought less than the $10,000 Morgenthau had in­ vested in the herd, and for one young Jersey bull he got no more than $10. The farmers who bid drove hard bargains; they ex- . changed no words with the secretary, who attended dressed in farmer attire and-,wearing smoked glasses. But the reason Moi- genthau got no more for his herd and the reason he was forced to sell them seems to have been found by Hendershot to. rest on the following facts: - ____ _ / -Morgenthau just isn’t a farmer.- His property evidenced lack of attention and interest; the short lane leading to his farm house was rocky and ill-kept; dairy barns were in bad repair; panes were missing from windows, and doors could be opened only with difficulty; whitewash on the interior was grimy and peeling off ; no buildings had been painted in years, farm machinery was scattered about indiscriminately It seems likely that Morgenthau, with plenty of money, got the same idea a lot of misguided folk have had, which was to buy some land, put some cows on it,, and let nature do the rest. But it still requires hard work, application and real ability to be a successful farmer. , ./ __Ohio State Journal ' t It is a pitiful record that the head of our treasury depart­ ment that calls for taxes in billions and war bonds in like a- mount to 'pay*for the New Deal squandering and the war, could not conduct private business from the profit standpoint. Of all men a member of the New Deal cabinet should have the ad­ vantage of the advise of the best minds in the nation, men who are continually offering advice, on all subjects. For instance Mr. Morgenthau could have discussed his milk, problems with his boss—FDR, known as one successful as a Hyde Park farm­ er, now a-tree expert. He as the original “ Dux” could have put Morgenthau on the,profit side. Then we have Hep Wallace, who rated as a farmer, always free to give advise, even if the banker’s had to take over the “Wallace.Farmer'', a great paper s h e K jgP P B - hi) •Dublin lUlIMKIIIIilUitlltllll.MIMWDMlllMIlUiUU Press reports are sifting out just a little at a time about the Roosevelt joy ride half way around the earth. One commentator says the American delegation of fJew Dealers had a great Thanksgiving dinner down in Africa, tn as much as eighteen bombers con .,-oyed Roosevelt the delegation must have been a lai;ge one. The crews of the air vessels would number nearly two hundred beside the New Deal bal­ last who went along just for the trip, The names have not been made public ! as yet. One report mentions the lib oral supply o f frozen turkey and all the trimmings and plenty of liquor for round after round of toasts. for Western farmers back in the days of the elder Wallace. We T\ir„ Tur-s^Av.tv.oii’ o fin a n c ia l'v e n tu r e are the more surprised at Mr. Morgenthau’s being a disappdintment becau'se he could have applied to Har­ ry Hopkins, who resides at the White House. The New' Deal is ..looked upop as the best milking outfit the nation: has ever ex- experienced. There was the WPA and the, PWA; the AAA and the ESA -and a hundred other alphabetical combinations, pll manned by experienced “milkers” , men that know, the un­ limited capacity o f the “ public teat.” Mi's. Holstein may have been endowed in'the art of “ letting-down” , and the New Deal “ Duz” boys could have put the Morgenthau herd on a paying baisis had they been consulted. If nothing else the Holstein .. could have^been “ lend-lease” to Mr. Churchill's government on a New Deal cost-plus/jiasis. The "Fifth Avenue millionaire play-boy” evidently has much to learn about the dairy business I as well as directing the nation’s finances. So far he has nothing ’ but “ red ink” to,show for the New Deal administration. While the bombers were doing duty for the Roosevelt-Churchill world pol­ itics campaign, the Germans must, have had a good ear or was ‘it the a- roma of the liquor that. made known the presence of the presidential party? Seven ships were bombed in an Italian port anfi no't a German ship was lost because the allies had no protection for the-merchant ships being unloaded of war supplies. More than 100 A- merican 1 soldiers lost their lives be­ cause the .Germans knew. where our bombers were. This is the season of Yuletide when a nation bows its head in recognition of the ‘Prince of Peace’ How can the Spirit of the Prince bf Peace make its presence felt- when the pen that is to write the peace is dipped in Champagne and other-high powered liquors? Don’t build yourself up to high about World Peace .yct. The peace campaign has more back o f it. The leaders are more or less divided on many vital points not discussed in public. For instance when the head o f . {he Chinese government at the recent conference demanded that the British return to China the part of that empire, taken years ago, Church-\j ill objected. W.e are told,this,war is to free all peoples; given the African pigmies a quart of milk a day and. a sewing machine, but when it. comes to freeing England’s slaves—well that is another matter. The Chinese party left for home the following day. Have you heard Roosevelt or Churchill men­ tion that feature of the trip? Chino’ s representatives are said to be abstain­ ers. They knew when it was time to leave. ' • . Uhls on the rock* kite* drawing more than a million dollar* in salaries and' bonus payments, we just took it fo r granted that in fairness to their read­ ers, all o f the Democratic editors would dip their pens in blood and de­ mand immediate-prosecution o f those that had put over the New Deal Tea Pot Dome oil scandal. Our effort has been in vain. We cannpt find one word o f comment on this subject by any Democratic or New Deal editor. We know their duties are trying. It always has been hard for any news­ paper to be the official apologizer of any political party. The trouble is the contrast jzyjoiitions of the New Deal brethem is so noticable. While they were waving the party flag and crying “ isolation”, they were holding up the blind to keep the grafters from being seen while robbing Uncle Sam’s bank. Then there was the German unnaturalized citizen who had a con, tract of several million and still runs at large with a large New Deal badge displayed so that the constables will not disturb him. There are a lot of things the Democratic brethem might suggest to Roosevelt for his Christ­ mas eve fire-side chat. FDR might look into what his*gang has- been do­ ing to the. nation’s income taxpayers and then inform the people instead of reading Charles Dickens. SCHOOL NEWS The Senate has voted to .withhold advance in rank for some thirty or more army officers, who have been recommended for advancement by 'Roosevelt. In the list are the names j o f George S. Patton, who was up for j advancement to Major General . The Iadvancement to Major General.

This is the army chap exposed by Fulton'Lewis Jr., radio commentator, for his part in the Canadian oil scandal that cost the nation a merme 130 million dol- j lars.

Only the righteous peoples o f the world can know the beauty and inspiration and joy o f Christmas— only those who know and accept Him. Only God can make a Christmas Tree. * Harry Hopkins had no sooner left j one of the half million dollar bombers I on return from Africa, as the Robin- son Crusoe “ Friday” for Roosevelt,, than to have his name and elegant I new home brought into, the news, < j Harry Used NcW' Deal methods to get j an electric refrigerator, something a ( regiment of people would like to get even under rationing. It. might be well to have the Congress look into Harry’s income before he became the No, One White,House man and no one j knows what his , number is at the J Downing Street address in London. A congressman from Sandusky on the Republican side hearing about the ■Hopkins refrigerator, • went into a rage for he had tried to get Washing­ ton New Dealers to give n priority for au electric refrigerator at the Good .Samaritan Hospital in Sandus­ ky. This was denied on the grounds it was unnecessary. Congress is going i to hear.more about the Hopkins re­ frigerator. Congress should find out Who paid for it and where the money came from. .
