NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WE CAN'T BE AMUSED

From all appearances "the morning AFTER anti
prohbitonists are going to get less fun out of re-
peal than prohbtionists. At least if drys sit
back and allow an irresponsible of humor full
play with the comic material which legal liquor
presents For yesterday the worries passed to those
who for IA years have had so many laughs out of
the efforts to enforce prohibition Today the
dilemmas are all wet.
The problem of how to prevent the new "te0'-
perance" going a spree has already elected
from leading newspaper advocates of repeal We
hement pleas to the public not to indulge in any
orgy of celebration. Somehow they are very like
the old appeals of the drys for observance of the
law E.en prohibitionsts who would enjoy the
show must hope the new exhortations will be effec-
tive For somehow it is difficult to derive any un-
allowed pleasure from the predcament of antipro-
hibtionists who are now struggling with the prob
lens their success has evoked.
Drys could get many chuckle out of the SOL
emn discussions of whether drinking is more of
social danger when the drinker is sitting or stand
ing the problem of getting revenue from liquor
without encouraging bootlegging, the amusing
uuandary as to what constitutes an "honest speak
easy" the question of how to reconcile state SOW
eregnty with a federal dstillerS code, the debate
over whether the new saloons should be called tav-
erns or inns attempts to keep politics out of cens
ing and liquor out of dry states-in short the
whole new crop of harassments which afflict those
who would cope with the unrepeaed liquor prob
lem.
It might be supposed that the Monitor, along
with other drys, would sit back and enjoy this
spectacle In some ways it would be easy to look
on from the sidenes and jeer at the worries OF
the vets. But we confess dc not possess either
the necessary detachment or responsibility. For
the problem is not wet problem; it IS an Amerl-
can problem. indeed a problem of humanity And
much as we might like to see the repealists get
ont Of the predicament evoked by repeal, we know
that however sincere. they cannot get the nation
out of it without aid.
We can't be amused by the plight of the nation
TODAY: we can't avoid doing everything in our pow
er to help overcome the enemy, which remains
today as under prohibition-hquor In so far as
repeal helps repealists to discover that enemy we
shall be encouraged. And wherever it leads them
to fight that enemy they will find us lighting oe-
side them-Chrstian Science Monitor.

government will retain the power
to fix prices if requested to do SO
bv members Of the industry. But
if the oil men can take care OF
the situation themselves. they
have a chance to do so.
The food codes-retail, whole
sale and manufacturers - have
been held up for months while
opposing clements in the agricul-
.ture department wrangled. The
prime points of dispute were:
l. Tnsistencc of Professor Rex
ford Tugwell and Secretary Wal
lace that signers Of the code vol
unfairly commit themselves 20
carry out provisions of the Cope
and-Tugwell pure food and drug
bill in advance of its consideration
by congress.
.. A provision that the govern
ment could ovcrrule code authori-
ties at any time.
3. A provision giving govern
mcnt agents full access to books
Of all companies at any time.
No such drastic provisions have
been included in any NRA codes
hut these we're up to the agricul,
tural adjustment administration,
Administrator Peek opposed then,,
but the brain trust element in the
AAA insisted upon them. The
codes were transferred to NRA
the other day and were completed
and sent to the President Satur-
day with all of these provisions
eliminated and the industry salts
fed.
The results of this policy al
ready are evident. The United
States Chamber of Commerce,
which three weeks ago was show
ing signs of revolt against the re-
covery program, now reports in
proving business conditions AMI
seems much happier.
1t still opposes the administra-
ton gold program. but in much
more conciliatory terms. The As
sociation of Manufacturers adopt
ed resolutions giving a consider
able degree of approval to NRA
policies. though previously it had
been FESTIVE.
The action on the food codes
leaves it an open question whether
the liberals or the conservatives
won the recent department of az.
riculture fight.
Administrator Peek. the con-
servative of the department, will
leave his post, probably to lead
the new state department task Of
negotiating trade treaties with
foreign nations in exchange for in
creased liquor import quotas. To
that extent the liberals claimed
victory. But Peek's policies on
the food codes were carried out
to the letter, which was a victory
for him.

FARMERS AND INITIATION

The trouble with the "price level as we haNe
onco or TWICE pointed out is that it is not !evc
ut all It is an average of the prices of severa
bnrdred commodities some of which are station
orv, some are rising. and some falling Next week
| the average may be the same, but a great many
individual prices will be higher while many others
are lower
Since this is true it follows that the actual re-
sult of currency initiation, if initiation comes about
will be very unpleasant surprise and shock 10
many people The thoughtless individual may sup
pose that the price of whatever it is he has to sell
will rise along with the price average The farmer
NAV think his wheat or hog price vii! 90 up. The
workman may hopefully suppose his wages Will 20
up.
As matter of fact, it is precisely these two
classes, farmers and wage-earners who are least
likely to share in an imitation advance. InfiatioHs
are not new They are an old story in this old
world And from the lessons of history we can be
certain that in a currency initiation farm prices
will not advance as much as other prices and that
rises in wages will lag far behind the rise in costs
of what the workman must buy.
The Federation of Labor, at it's last convention,
went on record against initiation for this very rea-
son. 1t remains to be seen whether farmers as
well advised and we'll informed.
Let us abandon at once the pleasant and inno-
cent idea of controlled initiation. The fact is that
there is no such thing. If the currency debasement
is really controlled then it does not initiate. If 1t
is pushed to the point where it initiates prices, it
can no longer be controlled.
At the same time we must abandon the idea
that if the price average is inflated prices of farm
products will go up Some may, but only if de-
mand is increasing or supply is falling. Those
products, like wheat cotton, hogs, tobacco and
milk which are substantially over-produced can
not be made to advance in price until production
is cut down. The general price average may re.
spond to imitation but the price of any single COM
modify is fixed only by the unchanging law of sup
ply and demand.
We do not know whether or not the country IS
to be the victim of an uncontrolled imitation. At
present see nothing that can certainly prevent
it. This being so, want to warn Our Folks that
they belong to of the classes who will be most
damaged thereby; the others being, of course all
wOrkmen, all middle-class people on fixed incomes,
all holders of life insurance, all depoSitors in
banks, and in general all those who save or have
saved money.
Those who expect paper money initiation to solve
farm troubles may get their chance to the the
DRY in action and if so they may as well prepare
themselves for nasty surprise.-Farm Journal.
