CORPUS CHRISTI DAY
AT COBLENZ

The American military authorities
at Coblenz gave the Germans permits
sion to fire a certain number of shots
from 18th century mortars, according
to ancient custom, in correction with
the religious celebration of Corpus
Christi day. In order not to inter
fere with the ceremonies the Ameri-
cans rerouted their trucks which
were busily preparing for possible
military operations in event the Ger
mans rejected the peace treaty. They
also supplied powder for charging the
mortars which were fired by the
priests. Corpus Christi day was not
observed at Coblenz last year because
1t was feared that allied ayators
might bomb the city.

WHY MORE FEDERAL
CONTROL

There is now pending in congress
a bill known as the Kenyon bill de-
signed to curtail the activities of the
packers. But this measure II enact
ed is so revolutionary and un-Amer-
icar and it's effects will be so far
reaching that not only will 1t be dis
astrous to the packers, whose eff
cheney is admitted by all who are
familiar with their business, but 1t
will only be question OF time until
the control contemplated will be ex-
tended until all business Is under
federal control.
II is easy to switch public opinion
from the real issue by labelling this
a fight on the packing trust" when
prices are high and someone Is to
be made the goat.
II the packers constitute a trust
!, in restraint OF trade our present laws
If enforced will correct the situation
1t is conspicuously noticeable that
none of the legislation proposed gives
any assurance that consumers are to
receive meat at lower prices and gov
eminent regulation has never yet
brought cheaper prices or rates.
The real point which Americans
must consider is whether they are
ready to change our form of govern
ment from. one under which indivi-
dual initiative, enterprise and bust
ness is encouraged to one where the
individual is submerged under Off
i cial control.
The packers are merely being
used as the most likely instrument
I available to extend a bureaucratic
form of government in America. This
has developed into fight, not mere
ly TO save the packing industry for
the packers but to save American
ideals and right Of the individual to
do business for Americans.
We have had enough insane legis-
lation and il Is time for the govern
ment to enact helpful measures that
vii assist and not destroy legitimate
industries.
