CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS by Congressman Chauncey W. Seed Si v: * • *' tV.;.' "NeatraKty" and Taut" Tlie White House sponsored neutrality bill, designed to give the President broad and extensive powers in dealing with foreign nations, is expected to be presented to the House 'or consideration within the next week. Nine members of the House provocating acts of American citizens, gives the President additional powers to be un-neutral. They point out that under this Resolution as it comes from the Committee, the President, after making a "neutrality" proclamation, can authorize the sales of arms on "ordinary commercial" credit to one side and deny such sales to the other; that he can permit our vessels to enter the ports of one belligerent loaded with, needed supplies, while barring our vessels from the ports of another; that he can prevent a foreign vessel carrying arms from leav RUPTURED Committee on Foreign Affairs have; ing our ports by requiring a prohibited a minority report condemning the tive bond whenever he suspects that bill and stating that in their opinion; the shipment will be transferred to a mo neutrality law at all would be bet- tender to a belligerent, ter than the one which will be pre-, while permitting exactly the same sort aented to the House for consideration of a shipment to proceed to toother and which in the name of neutrality, belligerent. They further point out end muter the guise of preventing that no President wer had such power before; that none is accorded him * under our Constitution or by virtue of j international law and that to urge that he would not misuse it, is not a reason for granting it. They further contend that no neutrality law can prevent our country from going to war if our foreign policy is un-neutral, and that their opposition to the Administration's bill arises . primarily from the fundamental difference as to the way to peace. They further state that they are opposed to the President's policy of using the threat of the potency of our nation to preserve a balance of power in ""Europe and that while they do not believe that he is deliberately provoking war, they do believe that the way to peace is for this nation to be neutral, not biased; friendly, not threatening.

MeHwury Meandering Mary By MARY E. OWEN rrmt i!,< The weeks certainly roll around in a hurry, and the weeds grow, and berries need picking, and cherries need picking, and here we thought when housecleaning was done we could "vacash." It's a sad world but there's always a bright spot in it. We are going meandering again. Yes sir, the Mr. has declared a Holiday and next week we are off to Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and all points North! We have never been north of Madison, Wis., so we have a treat in store for us. The Mr. even threatens to buy ua a fishing pole and says we better take the frying pan along. Before we go, we've got to help Ray Page and his Legionnaires with the Pourth of July Celebration. Are you getting ready ? Got your ridin' clothes on and a horseshoe in your pocket? Don't forget now, four big days and we need y«ar support. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Anderson and daughter of Wauconda visited Mr and Mrs. Dean Baseley Friday evening. G. A. Vasey of Belvidere, 111., visited Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dunker on Thursday. Mrs. Leslie Davis and daughters of Slocum's Lake spent Thursday afternoon at the home of the former's sister, Mrs. Richard Dowell. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Eddy of Grayslake were Sunday visitors at the home of Henry Passfteld. A large crowd atended the Friendly Neighbors meeting at the home of Mrs. William Wirt* Wednesday afternoon. FARMERS PRODUCE EFFI CIENTLY AND ABUNDANTLY Statistical information available readily indicates that farmers as a class have stepped up production per man unit as rapidly as their city cousins according to Farm Adviser, John H. Brock. In many instances this has been to the income disadvantage to the farm families and city workers as well. For many years low buying powef has driven ^farmers to mine the soil in a vain effort to produce more in order to meet fixed obligations and buy as much as formerly. This has run down the land, kept spendable income low and has hurt the towns. Since the war, surpluses of farm proudcts have been more frequent, as a result of an over-expanded farm plant on the one hand and shrunken markets on the other. The farmer in Speaking of the Fourth, we know you're just dying to know how the big contest is coming.

Black and White Day at Diamond ,Lake Thursday, A number of relatiVM and friends gathered at the home of Mrs. Bruno increased efficiency has had the same effect as expanding total acreage. The shift from horse power to gasoline power has lost the market for feed from about 35,000,000 acres. Immigration restriction and declining birth rate have not helped the farmer's market. The world-wide surge of nationalism starting in the 1920's resulted in tariffs, quotas and embargoes which have cut the export market sharply. On about 310,000,000 acres of crop land farmers can produce abundantly for all domestic needs with no one needing to go hungry. To produce what it is estimated can be exported the next few years will probably require about 25,000,000 acres. For sales at home and abroad about 35,000,000 crop acres probably can supply all present available markets. Crops normally are harvested from about 360,- 000,000 to 365,000,000 cultivated acres This means that farmers have about 30,000,000 surplus acres „ for which they lack markets. This condition forces agricultural adjustment. If there were no national farm program the adjustment would work itself out in time, but the cost to the farm family, to the soil and to the nation would be great. CLOSING DATE FOR '39 FARM PROGRAM IS SEPTEMBER M BtKTof the year for completing performance under the AAA farm program has been changed from October 31 to September 30, it is announced by Bert Bridges, office manager of the McHenry county agricultural conservation committee. "All pra^ticds and uses off land which will affejet -performance tand payment under the program for 1939 will have to be completed prior to October 1 rather than November 1-, as was the. case last year," he said. "Such practices as spreading lime stone, seeding legumes *and grasses, cutting soybeans for hay and plowing under soybeans for green manure, if not completed before September 30, will probably count on the 1940 AAA farm program." This change in closing date for AAA performances has been recommended by AAA co-operators in a number od£, counties. It will enable county of* fices to complete applications an# make payment* somewhat earlier tha§| was the case under the old closing date.

So much opposition has developed to the Board's practices and so great has been the demand for a thorough investigation, that in order to counteract the criticism and forestall such a general investigation, the Board recently announced a few minor procedural changes. Despite these minor reforms it is expected that the House, by a substantial majority, will authorize a thorough Labor Board investigation. Shortly after the Board had announced the procedural reforms, the A. F. of L. renewed its demands for a labor act revision to embrace all the proposed changes advocated by the Federation.

This was a really big affair. We hope the City Council has considered having no fireworks sold in McHenry this year. The Legion fireworks will be grand and they will perhaps save the eyes, if not the life of some McHenry boy or girl by banning the sale of fireworks here.
