Pri0ritieS Pinch
Co-ops, Consumers

Little business and little con-
sumers have begun to travel their
way Of suffering'-the old and
familiar way of suffering asso-
ciated with every war period.
Little bushes is being caught
in the wise of "priorities." Some
very old and sound institutions
are faced with closings which
may cause permanent injury.
Little consumers are being caught
between the upper stone of
soak the poor" tax bill which
will rifle their pockets and the
neither stone of rising prices.
The priority situation is in
muddle. Donald Nelson, admins
traitor of priorities and thus con-
siderable Of boss Of all business,
lifted the lid bit on a sorry and
even rotten condition about which
there has been much whispering.
Cooperatives which need mate
rails for the manufacture Of farm
machinery, or equipment needed
in the production Of farm COM
modities have Jared about as
well, up to the present time, as
have most industries. But the
cooperatives which need such ma
terials as steel for building have
suffered and are still suffering.
Just a short time ago, one of the
ablest of the very practical poll
ticians Of the Midwest came to
Washington to utter the warning,
that if the congressional elections
were to be held this year, instead
of next year, you'd be out of
breath trying to count the Con-
gressmen who would be beaten"
He predicted conditions would DE
worse next year unless the aver
age man in the factories and on
the farms was convinced that he
was not being made the victim Of
a profiteering group in the coun-
try which was fattening off war
profits.
Within a short time, and per-
hap it is only a coincidence, Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Henry
mOrSeHCndu, JT., suggested 10
Congress that it might be we'll
to limit all war profits to 6 per
cent. Then Senator Walter
George, of Georgia, chairman of
the powerful Finance Committee
of the Senate, denounced Nor
genthau's suggestion and insisted
Congress would not adopt 1t.
George contended the producers
and manufacturers should not be
discouraged by any such limita-
ton of profits. George was one
of those who helped defeat an
excess profits tax which would
have reached profiteers.
But as the practical politician
warned, the storm is rising. With
in a short time after this is writ
ten, it is understood a number
of progressives in Congress will
organize to lay down a threat Of
battle to George and his con-
sentative following. Then the
fight will be on. Consumers and
little business are going to be
heard.
