| Abstract | WASHINGTON We spent a week in Washington recently and have never seen a busier clty. Thousands of people on the move throughout the day; cars are parked everywhere even in defiance of noparking 01' limited parking Signs; office bulldinf;s and more office buildings and still office space is at a premium. Th re are offices In former apartment buildings and in private homes. Memorials galore, new and old and more being built. Tourists by the thousands even at this early season; war talk everywhere one goes; much rushing about and confusion both in action and thinking. There are questions regarding the strikes in the mid-west. Things happening so fast that even tho e on the inside flnd it hard to keep -up. The casual observer is hopelessly lost. FINE GENTLEMEN I met many fine gentlemen during my short stay. One of the fin twas Mr. R. M. Evans. administrator for the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. Although very busy, .11'. Evans received Mr. O. R. Ogg of the American F a r m Bureau Federation and myself and we had a half hour of most inspiring talk. aturally. the discus ion d r i f ted cJ F yt4E(j£~ around to the relationship betwen the Farm Bureau and the A. A. A. Mr. Evans, emphasized the n cessity for such general organiza ttons as the Farm Bureau. Said Administrator Evans; "Farmerg need to be organized In such organization. as the Grange, th Fanner's Union and the Farm Bureau. Only through such organizations can the farmer effectively express his needs and desires. The effectiveness of even sucn programs as the .A.A.A dCPfllds on the farmer having at all times 'Itch fndepttadent f4rmer group o: the Farm. Bttreau. After all, we of the Triple can't presume to speak for the farmer, we can't go before congressto 1 committees 01' approach congressm n and insist on given vlewpolnts or congressional action. That is not our function. It Is our function to admlnl ter the la.w. or course, we present facts and opine ions but we definitely cannot take the place of such groups as the Farm Bureau. And you can quote me on that." Thank you, Mr. Evans. |
