FOGGY FROM START

The heavy, impenetrable fog
descended soon after the convoy
hoisted anchor. This gray. wet
density so enveloped the ships that
one rarely could be seen from the
other. Eerie. full-throated means
of fog horns sounded monOtonouSly
as the band of vessels Zigzagged
along their invisible trail.
Fog swirled across the decks in
full blown sweeps, leaving little
rivulets of water in its wake, and
through this grim and gloomy
atmosphere triekled the first
arousing experience Of the voyage
(SiX paragraphs deleted by CEN

The fog continued, sometimes
slowly lifting for a few minutes
but never long enough to give
warbound soldiers anything more
than a quick glimpse Of the sun.

Editor, Peoples Voice:
Dear Sir:
| In a letter signed E. B. S. in this
column on February 13 one of the
questions asked was, "Why a ceiling
is placed on farmers eggs, meat, but
ter, etc., and no floor under them
while no ceiling is placed on packers
prices after the produce passes out
lof the farmers hands?"
May l point out to this gentleman
that price floors are now placed un-
der nearly every important agricul-
tural commodity. The principal cash
crop in Montana, wheat, was support
ed during 1941 at 85 percent of parity
through commodity loans and this
support will be continued in 1912 If
wheat marketing quotas are approved
in the referendum on May 2. A COM
modify loan program to support the
price for 1941 barley, rye and flax also
operated in Montana.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
announced in April, 1941, that expan-
sion Of pork, evaporated milk, dry
skim milk, cheese, chickens, except
broilers, and eggs would be encour-
aged by price support at IS percent of
parity through June 80, 1943. The
Department Of Agriculture recently
announced price supporting programs
at at least 85 percent of parity for
the 1912 crop of dry peas, dry beans,
peanuts, soybeans and flaxseed. E.
B. S. should understand fully that
these are floors under farm commod-
ity prices and not ceilings over farm
prices.
According to the information con-
tanned in daily newspapers, 1 under
stand that Price Administrator Leon
has now been fully author
lied to ration and control prices of
all commodities or articles sold at
retail which should take care of the
last part of E. B. SIS question.

Editor, Peoples Voice:
The correspondence in The Peoples
Voice between Mr.. Fred Alter of Rud-
yard and Mr.. Chas. D. Egley of ST.
Paul, Mimi, left me with feeling of
Unfinished Business. To my mind
there seemed to be something radio
ally wrong in Mr.. Egley's letter.
l therefore took it up with Gorham
Munson who has made a name for
himself as an economist and is the
editor of Men First Money Second"
He says Mr.. Egley's letter rests on
two simple fallacies. First, he as
sumes that profits are the root diff
Guilty, not costs. Social credit has
shown that the crux of the problem
is cost, you can eliminate profit and
still have insufficient buying power.
This is increasingly true because of
the growth of machine costs, and the
diminishing of direct labor charges.
Mr.. Egley has NEVER approached the
economic problem from the angle of
cost accountancy.
Second, Mr.. Egley assumes that
there is enough money in consumers
hands to buy the total product, only
some people have hogged too much of
it. He says, (that is) that the trouble
consists of mal-distribution of pur-
chasing power. But we have proved
again and again that there is not
enough purchasing power distributed
to meet total costs.
He says "redistribute, but it does
not do any good to administer short
age Of money. What we have to do
is to enlarge the supply of money in
such a way as not to raise prices.
This can be done by the retail price
discount mechanism prescribed by
social credit"
Mr.. Editor gave you sample
the other day in my remarks on Food
Stamps.
The English government has used
he mechanism to keep down the high
cost of living for sometime now. Your
correspondents who want to know,

Editor, Peoples Voice:
After go years to my knowledge the
farmers have come to their senses.
Common sense and reason has finally
prevailed and at last they have real
lied that they are just working men
and that the time is past when they
can think that they are a class by
themselves and have no common re-
lation with labor or industry
After these years of trying all kinds
of organizations, with cooperation
they now realize that If they will ever
attain control of their products they
will have to affiliate with labor, then
industry will be controlled by the
producers Of raw material. Well, the
Farmers E. & c. Union have accom-
plished the affiliation. Will they get
right down to business from this point

Now that we have come to the last of this series of six articles about Mrs. A. M, Sobel of New York, must tell you what I thought was her classic remark.

If you take time to think, it is not hard to play good bridge, Don't try to be spectacular, but don't make careless losing plays like this one" And she gave me the hand shown today.
