TWo-Woy Attack
On sBeUeridge Plan

When the administration "Bev-
eridge plan for increased social Sc
curity and postwar adjustment was
made public, congress proceeded to
make it plain that they intended to
pigeon-hole it. The general impress
sion was that it was laid away be-
cause it was too "socialistic" to suit
the right Wingers or even some of
the middle-of-the-roaders.
But do not think that all the OPP
position came from one direction.
The first adventure of the new social
security program was, in reality,
very much like the Charge Of the
Light Brigade" for there were "can-
mons to right of them and also
"cannons to left Of them" which vol
leyed and Numbered. AS I said, the
offensive from the right was taken
for granted. But the attack of the
left wing. while not as vocal. seems
to be just as vehement. There Is
proof in a press release which prob
ably was released by very few pa
pers. It comes from the People $
Lobby in Washington, an institution
which believes In public ownership
of natural resources, basic industries
and essential processing and distrib-
utive agencies.
But the Peoples Lobby" thinks
the Presidents plan is nowhere near
socialistic enough. In fact, it is just
another trick to try to lull the
people into sense of false security
while economic royalists continue,
through ownership, to dictate the
standards of living of the American
people.

Warrington
Geonetric City

The other day, heard on a radio
broadcast the statement that Wash
lngton was geometric city. We
have SO many squares and circles
and other geometric figures Dupont
circle that | pass every day. Lafay-
cite square with it's historic memo
rles mot to mention its squirrels)
where spend my extra seconds; the
Octagon house, built by wealthy
friend OF George Washington, where
society was lavishly entertained in
the early l800s, now preserved by
the American Institute OF Architects
which bought 1t to preserve it's state
ly beauty as well as to house their
offices; the sprawling Pentagon
building of the army, "a city with
roof over it,"
With this in mind, was suddenly
impressed with the new patterns i'm
posed on Washington since the war,
the human figures, two of which I
watched over my lunch in restau-
rant the other day. AT the next
table were, not circles nor squares
but human loops and bulges.
One was slim man in eyeglasses.
His nose was loop, his smooth hair
was Topped back over his forehead.
His gestures were looped, the back
of the wrist bent and higher than
his fingertlps as he dangled his ciga-
rette-I could only think of the paws
of lackadaisical pup begging for
a sweet.
His partner was Mr.. Bulge. The
bulge began below the wrinkle in his
vest and 1t was the only thing that
kept him far enough away from the
table to save his bullying nose from
reaching the soup I could hear him
inhaling. His hands bulged like the
padded arms Of an overstuffed chair
in a hotel lobby. His cheeks were
pink and bullying hams.
Washington is learning new les
sons in human geometry.

Little Evidence Seen Of

Possibilities of Speculative Wave.

Netes Analysf and Commentator.

as new foreign markets are opened
or the United States begins to help
feed a starving world.
In some places, there is evidence
OF the tendency toward speculation
now. Lenders in Iowa are offering
money against Iowa farm land as
low as 2la per cent. Speculation in
livestock is, going on in some places.
But there is no trend now toward the
wild buying of World War |.
and" says Mr.. Wilson, IF the
tremendous gains in the farm in
debtedness situation can be held, the
capacity of the great agricultural
areas of the nation to absorb the
flood of products that will come to
all markets after the war will be
. tremendous.
The financial fate of postwar
America is pretty much in the hands
OF the farmers. Let's hope he won't
let it land his spare CASH slip
through his fingers.
