Word And Religion
Sherman Democrat-says:
From the earliest time that man considered his exer-
tions to keep alive as work, it was essentially a relig-
ious activity. That was in the agricultural revolution of
6,000 B.C. The Van revolution of 3,000 B.C. divorced
work from religion with calamitous results. Today's
revolution of the “peasant majority" against the exist-
ing order presents to Western civilization a supreme
challenge.
Thus Dr. Arnold J. Toynbee, the eminent historian,
summarised the intimate relation between work and
religion, however, he is not discouraged. In view of
man’s long life on this planet, the historical view is
that both work and religion could be looked on as
contemporary. When we reclaim the driving force of
religion that we have transferred to work, we will re-
store the equilibrium between them, and the human
race will, progress. So an intimate of history can look
ahead to the happy ending after the war for men’s
souls is won and religion routs the forces of evil.

up for what he believed to be
right." But they would add they
did not believe his policies offered
much hope for farmers in a farm
situation dominated, they said, by
surpluses and overproduction.
Local and state Republican lead-
ers would not allow themselves to
be quoted by name. But most of
those interviewed expressed a be-
lief that the party would lose heav-
ily in farm states if Benson con-
tinued as secretary.
On the other hand, strong sup-
port for the secretary was found
among business and professional
men and white collar workers in
urban areas.
Benson was given little moral
support by members of his own
party among the committeemen at
the hearings. His only outright de-
fense came from Sen. Holland, a
Florida Democrat.

"That anticipated norther caused
me to do a lot of unnecessary
work," said Pat Hamilton. "I had

Hamilton wanted to do some water,

not do the job which the secretary
claims they will do.
Farmer-critics contend that in
times of surpluses of most prod-
ucts. such as now, farmers actual-
ly tend to produce more rather
than less when price supports are
lowered. They say the farmer's re-
action is to grow more to offset
the effects of lower prices.
Many find fault with Benson be-
cause he set up and then withdrew
measures designed to prevent the
diversion of surplus wheat, corn,
cotton, rice and peanut land into
the production of other crops this
year.
Benson has emphasized a need
for farmers to become more ef-
ficient. Some formers have inter-
preted this as indicating that the
secretary belleves that all "small
and less-efficient farmers should
be squeezed out of farming."
Many blame him for this year’s
sharp drop In hog prices. They say
he encouraged an "overproduc-
tion" of livestock feed grains last
year that was followed by a fur-
ther drop In grain prices.
Because hog prices were rela-
tively high at the time, many farm-
ere produced more hozs to feed
the grain to rather than sell ft.
The result was an overproduction
of hogs and the big decline in
prices when the hogs reached mar-
ket size this year.
Earlier in the present adminis-
tration, Benson policies had strong
backing from the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
Chief Justice Earl Warren can hardly escape some
political indigestion if he ever tries to eat the words
he used in saying he is not a presidential candidate.
They were pretty emphatic.
He said his decision was “irrevocable" under any
“circumstances or conditions.” President Eisenhower
sounded pretty emphatic, too, back in 1948, four years
before he ran, in saying he wouldn’t run. He said he
was "positive."
In 1982, before he accepted the Democratic nomina-
tion, Adlai Stevenson said he didn’t want it. But his
statements, looking back on them now, didn’t sound as
convincing as Warren’s or Eisenhower's. He never__
quite closed the door.
Whether Warren likes it or not—and he is reported
to have told friends privately he doesn’t like it a bit
and won’t change his mind—he is constantly being
mentioned as the man the Republicans may have to
call on in 1956.
Warren made his renunciation of political ambitions -
back in April 1955 when there was still reason to be-
lieve Eisenhower would seek a second term. It was
before the President’s heart attack made it unlikely
he would, or could, run again.
If Eisenhower doesn’t run, and if the Republicans
think their only chance is with Warren, he will be
under heavy pressure to change his mind. He hasn’t
been asked publicly what he would do if his party
drafted him in 1956.
The 64-year-old Warren, in politics since 1923 and
three times governor of California, was made chief
justice of the United States by Eisenhower in 1953.
He issued the following statement last April after a
nationwide poll reported he was the top choice of Re-
publican and Independent voters if Eisenhower decided
not to run:
“My nemo has been used as a possible candidate for
the presidency. This has been a matter of embarrass-
ment to me because it reflects upon the performance
of my duties as chief justice of the United States.
“When I accepted that position, it was with the fixed
purpose of leaving politics permanently for service on
the court. That is still my purpose. It is irrevocable. I
will not change it under any circumstances or condi-
tions.
“Be they few or many, tho remaining useful years
of my life are dedicated to the service of the Supreme
Court of the United States, in which work I am in-
creasingly happy."
When a "draft-Eisenhower" move got under way in
1947, the general said, “I don’t want anything to do
with politics." Ho went even further than that with a
lengthy statementon Jan. 23, 1948—part of which
“My decision to remove myself completely from the
political scene is definite and positive.... I could not
accept nomination even under the remote circum-
stances that it was tendered me.... I am not available
for and could not accept nomination to high political
office."
But after the 1946 elections, when he was again
being mentioned as a candidate in 1952, he sounded
a little less “positive" than in 1948 and finally ran.
Stevenson was governor of Illinois in April 1952
when he was being looked at as a likely Democratic
nominee. He said then “I could not accept the nomina-
tion" because he wanted to run for another term as
governor. ?
He kept saying that practically up to the moment he
was nominated, and accepted, in the summer of 1952.
And he announced in Chicago Tuesday he will try as
hard as ho can to be nominated by the Democrats again
, in 1956.
Which all indicates men of presidential timber are
just as liable to change their minds as the rest of us—
when the pressure is aptly and strongly applied.

can politicians as well—have the
Mme kind of blues if what they
told the senators at more than a
dozen hearings in major farming
areas — and newsmen in inter-
views — is an accurate gauge.
The most outspoken criticism of
Benson was voiced at hearings in
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Oregon
and Texas. It was generally
sharpest and most frequent in
areas where the National Farmers’
Union is strongest.
This farm organization has long
been critical of Republican farm
policies. It has been closely as-
sociated with Democratic policies
and leaders. Charles F. Brannan,
secretary of agriculture under
President Truman, is a top offi-
