Deep abstraction

The other day a friend Of mine
went into a famous Washington res
taurant. When he was seated a tall
man strobe in and took his seat
alone in a corner. He is a we'll
known figure in Washington and my
friend watched him. He took out
the evening paper, opened it with a
flourish and began to leaf through it.
Suddenly his face Lit up with a smile
Of deep satisfaction. He folded the
paper carefully, set it up against
the water carafe and began to read.
His smile spread.
My friend wondered what he was
reading and since he had a copy Of
the same paper and could see the
lower half of the page the tall one
was reading with such qualification
my friend turned to that page in
his W paper.
It bore a large picture of John
Llewellyn Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers of America
and former head of the c. L. o.

turns meat over directly to the re-
taller and the other material to the
wholesaler. The Americans say
they we're convinced that no prof
iteering exists in this procedure.
Although we have been able to
bring %lease-lend shipments up to 8
per cent of British food consump-
ton in tonnage, and 20 per cent in
value, that does not mean that our
problem as far as production goes
is solved. 1t is easy to provide a
lot of things the British do not need,
and hard to get some of the things
they need most. For example: The
British wanted 80 per cent Of our
whole navy bean crop. Navy beans
we're encouraged and American
farmers produced IS per cent more
navy beans than normal. But
a COW can't act that quickly when
you ask for more calves, and when
you get the calves it takes them
longer to produce a quart Of milk
than it does for a garden to sprout
a bean.
Cheese is another product that
does not leap out of the ground. In
some places you have to plant, not
only the COW to produce the milk
but you have to produce a factory
to process the milk into cheese.
Now, as to point No. 2: What
the American farmer is going to
get out of all this. Mr.. Appleby-
expressing, I take it, the opinion of
the department of agriculture and
the government-feels very definite
ly that the American farmer must
have a profit motive to bring about
this extra production and likewise
a profit when he has produced it.
What About 6 Per Cent?
mr.. Morgenthau," 1 said, be
lieves that business ought to be al
lowed to make only 6 per cent on
its investment in the emergency"
WELL" said Mr. Appleby, IF the
farmer got 6 per cent and wages
for his own labor and management,
I think he'd be satisfied. Anybody
ought to be satisfied with that in
time of crisis"
And this factor-giving the farm
er some assurance that his plant
expansion, as they call it in indus
try, necessary to produce the things
Britain needs. will not be a white
elephant when the war is over,
I mentioned-namely the attempt
to assure some universal benefit out
of the whole lease-lend food effort
a benefit deriving from increased
consumption in peace-time which
the farmer as we'll as the rest of the
nation would share.
The farmer does not want to have
a new lot of SURPRISES on his hands
when the war is over. He and the
department of agriculture want to
understand that the new production
they are now building a be do
mestically consumed after the war
is over.
Such consumption seems a long
way off but it is a star worth
following-once there were three
wise men who had the faith to fol-
low a star.
