HE'S OPPOSED TO FARM CURBS Repl ies to Queries of Wisconsin Group Milwaukee. March 17 AP-Gen MacArthur said in a today that farmers must be protected against oppressive government controls and inroads against their liberties and free institutions The cable, signed only "Supreme Commander, allied powers. was received by Gavin McKerrow. chairman of a Wisconsin farm group which has asked Gov Dewey. Harold Stassen, and Gen MacArthur for their views on agriculture.

Representatives of the group have interviewed Gov Dewey in New York to get his views Stassen has presented his in a series of Wisconsin speeches McKerrow said his group is satisfied now that all three of the candidates for the Republican Presidential nomination have answered the query fully, and added the' group will announce its support of one of the three men in a few days. probleas Vary Little MacArthur cablegram asserted his military commitments have prevented him from keeping abreast in detail of the immediate day-to-day farm prob-'lems in Wisconsin, but that in solving problems connected with the reformation of Japanese agriculture, has drawn heavily on America's farming experience. Commenting on current problems. MacArthur said: "Tne problems of the farmer, apart from climatic and ideological differences, vary little thru-out the world In Wisconsin, as elsewhere in America and thruout the free world, the foremost essentials lie in the preservation inviolate and strengthen-ingof those rights, liberties, and free institutions under whlcn he now lives and the building of an invincible defense against the inroads of despotic ideologies aimed at their suppression. in all possible aid in countering opposing forces of nature which impeded maximized production and in the conservation of the soil, in the safeguard against oppressive burdens and controls by government wnich destroy the incentive for private enterprise, personal initiative, and individual energy by which human advance will ever be measured, and in the unremitting effort to raise higher the individual standard of life." Cites Japan's Plight The general said he found Japan's farm economy "sick" when he arrived in that country Ne said authoritarian government control over farmers had forced many to revert from the status of owner-cultivators to that of tenants working the land under most onerous conditions MacArthur said his administration met the problems by dissolving thepowerful government agricultural association and replacing it with freely elected nongovernment con troled, democratic farm cooperatives, free of domination by nonagrarian interests, dedicated, to the economic political and cultural advancement of the farmer Access to Credit He continued: "I am fully aware how important it is for a fanner to have access to long and short term credit at reasonable interest rates; of th great stabilization factor of the family sized farm, of protecting the farmer in his dealings with processors and distributors, of stabilizing agricultural prices and of the need for an adequate program for soil conservation and the diffusion of technical and other information that might be of assistance to the farmers." 5 PERSONS ARE FINED IN HIGHWAY COURT IN SLOT MACHINE CASES Five persona wer fined for possessing slot machines yesterday by Justice of the Peace Harry Lambert in Home-wood county highway police court They.
