SOUND POLICY
(The Montgomery Messenger

(The Montgomery Messenger)
One of the significant phases of
the marketing cooperative movement
is that every effort is given to pro-
noting policies which will be of bene-
fit to the consumer as well as the
producer.
Marketing leaders know full well
that their members would lose, not
gain, from stick the consumer" &C
tivities. They are absolutely opposed
to lacking up" to unreasonable
levels, the price the ultimate buyer
must pay. Instead, they simply seek
to obtain for their members a fairer
share of that ultimate selling price
to effect better balance between
the price paid the farmer and the
price charged the consumer.
That is a sound policy, well de-
serving of the success it has already
achieved.

said: God demands of those who
manage the affairs of government
that they should be courageously true
to the interests of the people, and the
Ruler of the universe will require of
them strict account of their stew

said: ut is better for a city to be
governed by good man than even
by good laws"

American authorities are con-
cerned over the operation of any
German owned and operated air
line within striking distance OF
the Panama Canal. The new threat
appeared while officials believed
they hard overcome principal
dangers of three other foreign
owned air lines operating in the
general vicinity of the canal. Two
of these were the former Scadta
lines. operated in Colombia. and
the Sedta. operated in Ecuador by
German interests. The other was
the Taca lines, owned by New
Zealand interests and operated by
American pilots and American
equipment.
Officials here believe that the
proposed new Condor-Snapp SER
vice may be operated by German
pilots who formerly flew the
Scadta planes in Colombia. and
who were forced out OF their jobs
when the Colon bian government
amalgamated all the air lines in
Colon bia. forming the Colombian
