Mexico. Additional steps, not em-
braced by the proposed treaty, will
have to be taken to stamp out the
dread disease.
One necessary step, they said
was the appointment of an adminis-
trator who would work in liaison
with the Mexican government and
have full authority to make com-
mitments for the United States.
Such an administrator would report
i directly to the President, but would
operate in unison with the state,
agriculture and other agencies.
Goss and his colleagues urged
"planned eradication” of infect-
ed Mexican cattle as another
step. Cattle vaccinations, now
being tried in many parts of
Mexico, will delay the spread of
hoof-and-mouth disease, but will
not stamp it out, the cattlemen
emphasised.
"Planned eradication.” Inclden-
taUy, is one phase of the treaty now
being negotiated.

That’s What They Have
The Czechs did not fight the Nazis only to fall under
the Jieds. But that’s What they have.
'Their industry was largely communized. “The commu-
nists manage factories of, which they know nothing,”
writes a recent American visitor. “A shoemaker directs a

Marshall Plan for South
WASHINGTON.-The need for a
Marshall pl*n for oar own southern
state* has been recommended in a
shockingly frank report prepared
for the house agriculture commit-
tee. Written by a group of southern
economists, in cooperation with ex-
perts* from the agriculture, com-
merce, labor and interior depart-
ment*. it recommends that 27.4 bil-
lion dollars be advanced to get the
South on its economic feet.
In rather blunt terms the report
sets forth the evils that make the
South what it calls .the ^nation’s poor-
house. To cure them, it urges a
revolutionary eight-point program.
Underlying cause of southern
poverty, the reporgstates. la the
rutted agrarian system. An
overbalance of manpower is
struggling without adequate
tools to wrest a Uviug from me-
diocre soils, which are highly
erosive and badly damaged by
past cultivation. Added to this
ia the prolific population on
southern farms. The reproduc-
tion rate is NO per cent higher
than needed to replace itself.
"Until non-farm alternatives can
be found for a part of the present
farm working force and for all the
net increase in farm population,"
declares the house agriculture com-
mittee report, ' there can be no last-
ing Improvement in the productivity

Under the present system. Cain
argues, the reclamation bureau
must show that its projects will be
self-liquidating anyhow. On the
other- hand, Senator Cain claims
that his bill will:
1. Eliminate the annual squab-
ble over reclamation appropria-
tions and reduce the drain on
the budget; 2. Permit the har-
assed reclamation bureau to
plan more than a year ahead;
3. Stir up public interest in rec-
lamafion by the public’s sharing
in the financing; 4. Serve,as an
anti-inflation measure by draw-
ing of! large amounts of surplus
j money.
Library of congress researchers j
already have gone over the plan '
with a fine-tooth comb, and have '
reported favorably to the senator.
