Meaty Facts: If beef supplies
are low, learn to use pork, for
it's one of the best sources of the
B vitamins. It also contains high
quality proteins and minerals and
is So to SO per cent digestible
when cooked long, at low tenn
perature.
The non-restricted meats, Iv-
err, heart, kidneys, oxtails, etc.,
are as nutritious as the restricted
cuts. Learn to use them by
themselves or by combining them
with restricted cuts so you can
stretch that meat budget.
Tougher cuts of meat win be
on your menus often, because
they take less points than the ex-
pensive cuts. Most of them can
be cooked by braising that is,
browning in hot fat, then adding
water or another liquid, and cook

LIVING STANDARDS
IN BACKWARD NATIONS

AS AN INCENTIVE for higher
wage scales through which to raise
living standards IN the backward
nations, why not an international
tariff system based on the cost of
production in exporting countries?
For example:
If 1t costs as much, or more, to
produce 100 pounds of pork in Can
ada as in the United States, the
American pork market would be
open to Canada.
If the cost of producing an auto
mobile in Canada were greater than
IN the United States, Canada to col
IeCt a tariff equal to the difference
IN production costs on automobiles
imported from the United States.
If the cheap labor and sweat-shop
methods Of Japan produce cotton
fabrics at so per cent of the cost Of
producing similar fabrics in Amer
lea, Japanese fabrics imported into
the United States to pay an import
duty of so per cent.
No import duties to be charged on
materials or products imported into
countries where such materials or
products are not produced.
Import duties to change as pro-
duction costs 60 up or down IN the
exporting or importing countries.
Tariffs to be fixed by an interna-
tional commission with a veto power
on the part of each nation as to
iv,rcy+ S5,,Tiac m, -, a+arT,lc ~ r,roc
ucts coming into its territory, but
such veto to exclude the import OF
such products from all countries.
Such a system would tend to raise
wage scales as means of reducing
or eliminating tariff walls, or would
afford protection for the wage scales
and standards of living in the more
progressive nations.
It would provide a means of help
ing people of those nations in which
standards are low, such as India,
China, Japan, and, proportionateIy
those of many other nations. It
would practically close American
markets to competitive merchandise
from such countries until such time
as wage scales and working condi-
tions equaled those of this country,
which provides approximately so per
cent of the purchasing power of the
world, market consuming so per
cent of the products of the world.

POSTWAR PLANNING
SHOUID RE REALISTIC
Released by Western Newspaper UnioI

SHOULD BE REALISTIC
THE TALK WE HEAR of postwar
planning consists almost entirely or
impractical and impossible idealism.
We talk as though America would
mother the earth, would provide the
brotherly love, the milk and honey,
the ever-abundant life that would
make people Of every nation happy.
To attempt any such program would
mean merely to iquidate America.
The Axis nations and their satellites
must undoubtedly be policed for a
long period. America cannot do
all of that policing. We can only do
our part.
When the war ends, millions OF
people of enemy and conquered ma
tons must be succored and fed.
America cannot do all of that. We
can only do our part. If we attempt
more than we can do, we will but
hquidate America through the bank
ruptcy route. We will ruin the
American people, American industry
and the American government. Our
impoverishment will benefit no other
nation, but it will mark the end Of
all plans for world betterment.
Our postwar planning must be
along realistic lines, only favored
with such idealism as can be applied
IN a practical way. Only such a
program can be worked out to sat-
isfactory conclusion. We must think
of America, just as the English peo-
pie will think of England; as the
Russians will think of Russia.
War will not have obliterated self
ishness, and America cannot be the
only unselfsh nation If we are to
continue to live and exert an indu-
ence.
Churchill has very definitely stat
ed that he does not intend to iqui-
date His Majesty's empire. That
was a practical statement without
any false idealism. American states
men must consider postwar prob
lens from that same practical view
point as they pertain to the United
States. We, alone, cannot hold the
idealistic bag, as all too many oc
our people would have us do if they
really mean what they are saying.
A bankrupt and dead America
would not be world asset.
