Twas a Gallant Battle

You hear no more about con-
sumers out of Washington except
through the consumers guide,
which has been sufficiently popular
to keep on gaining circulation un-
der Hoover's supervision, but is
subjected to the censorship of an
AAA committed to raising prices
to consumers.
Whether or not the consum-
er cause is rescued from its
present sad state, the ecOno-
Tnists and research experts and
others who have labored in the
consumer agencies will have
left their mark.
Through all this bedlam Of
struggle by special pleaders, In
which the. din of those seeking
special privileges and advantages
whether for farmers, laborers,
politicians, or corporations = is
always loudest, those crusaders
for the interests of 125,0O0,00O
consumers have put up as gallant
and unselfish battle against
odds as any waged under the New
Deal.

Unit Officially on Shelf

The consumer division of the
national emergency council, whose
chief job was to foster some 200
county consumer councils over the
country-most of which never did
get going-and furnish them with
facts and advice, is officially dead
until further notice, If any.
Mail from the several score
councils, some of which operated
brilliantly in preventing gouges in
milk, coal, and other products in
big cities, goes unanswered.
There has been a movement to
make the NEG division a strong
unit, co-ordinating consumer pro-
lection activities, and give its
chief chance to speak up for
consumers in major New Deal
councils. This lost much of its
strength when Mrs. Mary Rumsey
died.
The NEG unit collapsed when an
executive appropriation ran out.

By THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Mosquitoes, all mosquitoes
With your melodtous buzz,
AS you go, to and fro,
hear your songs of love.
You're smaller than the common fly,
Yet taller than flea.
You do your part, to fill my heart,
With joys of ecstasy.
Now Vallee is a crooner,
And Kate, she sings divine,
But when it comes to buzz or huns,
Old pals you're superfine.
So mosquito just keep buzzing,
And then I'll not complain,
But if you light, to take bite,
You'll never buzz again.

Washington, July 22-That uu-

nize the consumer--and even give
him a tiny voice here's Ian
gushing close to the point of
death.
Consumers never did get organ
lied - as farmers, workers, AMI
industries have organized. Thus
their official representatives in
MIRA, AAA, and NEG found
themselves only a group of brave
generals with no army to support
them when the fighting grew hot.
That was a bit embarrassing, be-
cause every time the boys and
| girls devoted to the consumer
cause have stuck their necks out.
the tendency of the rest ct tho
government, reinforced by Steers
from the lobbyists, has been to re-
gard them as general nuisance.
The consumer advocates learned
in time that this was govern
ment for producers - farmers,
wage earners, manufacturers-al
though they did get in some
pretty good ticks.
Now the MIRA consumers ad-
visory board, which used to oppose
price-f1xing and production control
in MIRA codes - occasionally with
some success-has withered on the
vine with the rest of MIRA.

Feu Experts-They Can't Agree

IF 1t is necessary to have tramped through Bur-
Il gundy or to have spent 5 years in a moldy ROOM
ing house in Paris. taking ones meals at an unpre-
tentious equivalent of the American greasy spoon,
where there was sawduSt on the floor and the own
ers tom cat stalked mice between the customers
feet, the average American will say to hell with 1t
and continue to dine on fried steaks and fried pota-
toes washed down with old-faShioned cocktails or
one of the standard gin connections, probably con-
tanning cream.
Wine has been made such a subtle affair that.
like money, there are now said to be only a Scant
handful of experts who understand its mysteries,
and these, like the monetary experts, have furious
little spats among themselves over the apparently
simple matter Of tossing a slosh of wine into the
human interior, and have written books in support
of their opinions.
1t should not be necessary to take a course OF
reading in order to enjoy a drink and the hard-liquor
industry is fortunate in that no such cult has ever
plagued its business with their patronage. Any
novice may obtain from a lump of whiSkey or gin
the effect for which it is taken. In fact. the novice
has an advantage over the connOsseur in that his
resistance has not been hardened by experience.
Consequently he will reach the fighting, or singing.
stage, according to his temperament, long before the
veteran drinker begins to feel the first faint tingle
in his brain.
The wine-expert, however, constantly reminds
the wine layman that even if a wine were very good.
American, who lives in a rush and even ages his
liquor fast by electric gadgets. will not take the
time and trouble to educate himself.

Discipline Is Too Strict

TINE whisky and gin customers do not find it
i necessary to visit the distilery and have a per-
sonal meeting with the man who Shovels the grain
into the vat or the one who turns the crank to drain
it off when the corruption is complete and the foul
mess is ready for barrels. 1t makes no difference to
him what field produced the grain, whether the
farmer had a daughter or how many kegs were OBJ
tanned from a particular vat or mash.
This happy Indifference is in sharp contrast to
the pose of the wine cOnnoiSSeur who will undertake
to tell you not only whose hands picked the grapes
from which a given bottle OF wine was made, 10 years
ago, but whether it was raining that day and whether
the bottle has been lying on its belly or its side.
Obviously, the inexperienced person is not tempted
tC try wine when the best of wine is like the worst
to him and all wine is vinegar, anyway And natur-
ally he is not won over to the support of a struggling
native industry by constant reminders that he is a
hopeless ignoramus on whose barbarian taste it
would be a great pity to waste anything but the
leavings of the meanest vines in the poorest Vine
yards in the worst of years.
To drink wine successfully he must abstain from
smoking before and after, he must sip for gentle
analgesia when he would rather gulp for excite
ment, and do without the ketchup with which it is
his custom to flood his provisions. The discipline IS
toe much like that of the United States Military
Academy and the results, on the basis of the returns
since repeal, have not been considered to be worth
the ordeal.

GO sorry said Smythe. but I'm not much good
on fine type. Still. would you mind if l read
you a short extract from the speech? Among the
first victims of this law will be the heirs of the late
beloved viii Rogers. His estate will be required to
raise between 100000 and $500, 900 in cash. OBJ
viously. 1t does not have that much ready cash on
hand What then? It will be compelled to put on
the market some of the property which he owned.
Whether that be real estate or securities does not
matter. Property of any kind sold at a forced sale
is sold at a great loss. Moreover, it depreciates the
value of like property"
But" continued the man from Mars. Il have
read that Will Rogers left between $50 900 and
$6.OO0O00 and that the bulk of his money was in
United States government bonds. Would the sale
of 100000 in government bonds break the market?"
No" I said.
Then the heirs of Will Rogers, at the very least.
would have about 100000 to live on. Is ,hat pos
Sible?"
I guess so"
Well. then. please explain what your Mr.. Smell

I gave no explanation. I took the man from Mars
and threw him out the window. I just can't be both

"XXTE have the same word" I assured him. I
w might add that it was quite easy to under
stand the man from Mars. as he spoke very fluent
English but with a slight South Brooklyn accent.
Unfortunately. it was impossible for me to think Of
any reasonable justification for the Senate rules con-
corning unlimited debate.
However, one of Smythe's quick and rowing eyes
had already caught something else in one of the
many papers. old and new, which he held before
him.
Your President. a Mr.. Roosevelt. made a
speech. I see, over the radio in which he suggested
that the youth of the land should support progress.
He said that it is better to be happy than unhappy
and that there ought to be opportunity for all. In
Mars, If YOU don't mind my mentioning it. such an
address would have merely been set down as the
somewhat vague aspirations of a well-meaning man.
and nobody would think of making any reply except
IN our c%ollOquial phrase. SO what?' Doesn't every

unhappy?"

cooperative effort under permiSsive
v legislation which will carry safeguards against
its misuse is the road to conservation OF Americas
mineral resources So says Prof. c. K. Lerth, vice
chairman OF President Roosevelts Planning Commit
tee for Mineral Policy.
Prot. Leith. who also is the geologist of the Uni
verSity of Wisconsin. has drawn up a seven-point
policy by which conservation can be obtained. The
need for conservation IS great because in many fields
the supply OF high-grade ores will begin TO run out
in 20 to 40 years. His seven plankS are.
Continuance Of technological and scientific i'm
provementS already under way. Recovery and eff
cheney in mining. concentrating and smelling have
been greatly improved. he says. and further advances
can be expected.
Control of production. He advocates the bal
artng Of supply and demand in our So-called sur
plus industries AT a price level which will permit of
proper conservation practice.
This is TO be accomplished b. voluntary co-opera-
tive efforts OF the industry under government super
vision through legislation which will except them
from the antitrust law. the exemptions TO be in the
interest Of conservation with adequate public super
vision.
T EGALIzAT1ON OF some method of co-ordtnating
l.. the highly chaotic efforts of the individual states
under their police powers and the support of any
collective efforts the states may attempt.
Since the Supreme Court decision. Washington is
now struggling with the problem Of finding author
ity for any national control. Prof. Leith says. He
adds that much of the authority necessary for pro-
ductior control now exists only in the police powers
Of the states.
The four remaining planks in his platform are:
Federal control Of interstate shipments of min
erals in excess Of quotas set by the state police powers.
Possible abolition Of ad valorem taxes in favor of
taxes Of one kind or another on current production.
THE use OF tariffs for the surplus group which will
Il protect any domestic economy built up in the
interest OF conservation. which may result in some
further sacrifice Of our already d~windling export
trade because of the necessary maintenance Of
domestic prices above the world level.
For the Efficient CrOuD of minerals derived in mart
or IN whole from foreign sources. TO deSiSt from a
tariff program which merely hastens the exhaustion
Of our limited high-grade supplies and to substitute
direct expenditure by the government on the prob
lem OF finding additional supplies.
Cooperation and public supervision are COM
Elementary and parallel developments which are not
in conflict unless one or the other proceeds too fast,
Prof. Leith says.
