Though it has looked like rain
several times, moisture iS badly

there is not enough moisture in

JAMES PREs1ow

Washington, 50 the tourists
say, is never remembered for lis
restaurants. In fact, the lack of
good eating establishments in
the Capital City is the subject
of much "beefing" by most
Washingtonians.
Nevertheless. the natives are
eating their beefsteaks with
more than usual vigor these
days and the argument now is
not over the quality of the res
taurant, but over the quality of
the beef.
Cause of it all is an argument
between the President, the Ma
Wy Department and Congress
over the relative merits OF Am
erican grown ~beefSteakS, and
the beef shipped in from the
Argentine.
The President contends in an
official statement that Argen-
tine beef is cheaper and better.
So strong does the Chief Execu-
tive feel about the superiority
of foreign beefsteaks that he
has ordered the Navy Depart
ment to buy Argentine beef for
the sailors. Congress recently
felt Just as strongly against Ar
gentine beef and wrote into the
the Navy Department approp-
ration bill a stipulation prohib-
thing purchase of anything but
American beef.
About $4,000 pounds of beef
are involved in the official dis
pute. And the saving that would
be affected by purchasing the
South American product would
amount to less than $4,000.
The whole argument has most
Capital observers puzzled.
They are asking just what
kind of economics the govern
ment is practicing when it cur
tails American farm crops in
order to boost prices, fixes ar

cause there seems to be some
doubt about the best way of
amending the Act. The Con-
gress knows that the public
wants the Act changed and it
knows the Act must be changed
before there can be real indus
trial peace of mind and recov-
cry. How, is the question.
The confusion of the Admin
istration comes, apparently, be-
cause there is doubt among its
planners as to the best way of
heading off any amendment OF
the Act.
Any farmer who is trying 10
eat his cake and have it, too,
by accepting "plow UNDER pay
ments from the Government
and growing his crops just the
same, had better take good no
tice.
The Agricultural Adjustment
administration has just decided
to spend another half million
dollars checking up on any such
so About 200 900 more square
miles of farm land is soon to
be photographed by the Gov
eminent from the air. That is
how the check up is made.

further raise prices, and then
refuses to buy American goods
because the price is too high.
They can't understand, either,
why the government should
bring the wroth of American
cattle raisers and professors
down on official heads to save
a few dollars, and at the same

millions into economic theories,

Unbalanced budgets are no
longer a novelty around Wash
ington. Yet there was a novel
story out of the Capital recent
" about two family budgets
that were not on an even keel.
What made it a novel story
was that the Monopoly Investi-
eating Committee, interesting
itself in balances and budgets,
called two housewives all the
way to Washington to explain
the discomforts Of unbalanced
budgets.
And all the time there were
many harried officials at the
Treasury Department, only a

made excellent witnesses on the
subject.
