Do American Farmers Want This System
American farmers should study the British farmer’s position before embracing the Brannan plan. Allan B. Kline of the American Farm Bureau Federation cites Red tape in Britain, bureaucratic subsidies, and heavy form filling as a warning. Louis Bromfield shares letters from English farmers noting hardship and quotas, while praising the productivity and costs of government aid. The piece argues that subsidies breed bureaucracy and fail to relieve shortages, suggesting the Brannan plan risks similar fate in the United States.

German Defense Poses Problem
Western Allies face awkward questions over how to secure German defense while German policy under Adenauer moves toward Ruhr integration with France and Benelux. Russians eye action in Germany, Rokossovski’s Polish command fuels fear of frontier revisions. Allies weigh recruiting German troops under Allied officers to avoid rearming Germany, while urging equality and a pan European defense under single command amid public skepticism. The piece also notes mythic views of Germans as militarists and ends with a tag on religious halos and an American orange quota.
