LOT August ~ printed an editorial com
mcnt on food storage, under the head
ing "a Tcst Case of IIoarding.
In the course of this discussion oc-
ours the statement that: "Thc imprcS-
sion is widespread that the five pack
crs control the meat supply of the
country and manipulate prices to SUIT
themselves. They are charged with
keeping meat from the market in order
to initiate prices"
1t is not generally understood that the
meats in storage, if thrown upon the
market. would last the country less than
twenty five days.
Enforced release of foods from storage
cannot lower the cost of living mate

a limited degree. to keep prices up. that

My Country

My Country, - my Country,
My heart will break for thee.
Thy very soul is sold for gold
Sweet land of liberty,
And those who should protect thee,
Will let thine honor bleed,
Will strip thee of thy regal robes,
To satisfy their greed.
And those who would protect thee.
The single. minded folk.
Too blind. or too Grspairng are,
With thy great woes to cope
My Country, . my Country.
May God thine honor save
To live, when those who stain it nov
Have pcriShod in the grave.

Sir-I have read your editorial, The
Lesson in France" in this evening S
paper and confess I am surprised. |
have Just returned from work among
the people of northern France Almost
without exception the people of northern
France n.ille arcal have little interest
in the league of nations, but put their
hope and faith in the alliance of Eng
land, France and America. The league
of nations to them, as one Frenchman
put it, is "a dream of an idpalst who
knows nothing of European conditions. -
France insisted on the England France
America agreement and it is to that they
look for protection and because of that
they are making the present proposal
for their peace army.
