. Our Opinions
} Our Pointed Meats

As Tacoma markets opened Monday with light
stocks of ratoned meat the question often asked
when going TO get thick T-bone steak or
a rib roast of beef" The meat market man tried to
soften the blow, but the hard fact is those deli
cacies are out for the duration however long that
may be. There will be steaks but they will be thin.
There will be roasts occasionally, but not those of
cherished memory.
The point values, however, are not too bad. They
may cause some overweights to reduce little but
the average consumer will get along.
The effect of the system will be to educate the
buyer in the great number of qualities and cuts of
meat. Some persons going TO learn for the first
time that there other cuts of beef besides inch
thick T-bone top sirlon steak and rib roasts,
middle cut
Speaking of points, Shakespeare, who knew moth
ing about rationing as we have it, produced
lines pertinent to points. In "The Winters Tale" he
says: points than all the lawyers in Bohemia
can learnedly handle" And Fastaff casually re-.
marks, Il made me ado but took all their
seven points" What he did with the points isn't
recorded. Today they might be worth pound Of
hamburger or would they?
But seriously, not going to be hurt by the
present basis of rationng Of course il may become
tighter and that is to be expected if the
tinues two three years.
In the meantime Americans are going to learn a
great deal about economy-how to make little go
long way and not too late.

. The Way Of a General in War

Maj-Gen Lloyd R. Fredendall is back in WASH
ington, casualty of the Allied drive on Tunsia in
February Gen. Fredendall not wounded. He is
not that sort of casualty but is in the doghouse,
so to speak, because it was his "thn line which
Rommel smashed and cost us about 5000 killed and
wounded.
Gen. Fredendall held that front with only
skeleton force. The strategic for modifying
Comparatively few unframed troops with not enough
tank and air support to flank Germanys abest general
has not been made clear. Perhaps, like George Wash
ington at Trenton it hoped that the enemy would
be deceived by this weak spot while more powerful
units were employed elsewhere.
The gossip in Washington is that Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower, commander of the North African army,
approved the disposition of the troops before the
battle. But somebody made mistake and the man
who happened to be in the way of superior force is
taking the rap.
That is the way with war As the contest proceeds
there must necessarily be applied to our generals
the severe test of success or failure in battle The
action which put Admiral Hasey in the naval battle
command in the Solomons has paid big dividends.
Lieut. Gen. George S. Patton, who succeeds Gen.
Fredendall ranks high as a commander of armored
forces. He is offense-mnded officer.
News of the allied offensive in Tunisia is the
answer to the switch in generals It's tough on
Fredenda, but that's war. If Gen. Patton should be
unfortunate in offensive some day he knows what
will happen. That goes for Gen. Eisenhower, too.

that was TO take them away was
late and everybody was waiting,
both the soldiers and their friends.
l occupied an end of one of the
long seats in the waiting room, and
a soldier sat all by himself at
the other end. He was expecting
someone. That was evident, for
his gaze kept constantly turning
toward the great entrance doors.
Before long a small, young woman
stepped through one of the doors.
Her gaze swept the great room
and quickly lighted upon the face
of the man.
To him she FASTENED. while her
hand clasped tightly the hand of
a lovely little girl her daughter

eral months ago. when he had
taken the train in the little home
town to come 20 Fort Lewis.
The young woman opened the
package she carried, and laid out
a nice little lunch. while her hus-
band held the daughter on his lap,
played with her, This little piggy
went to market" etc.
Then they ate the lunch, the
little daughter sitting on her
fathers lap.
And then q distant whistle
sounded. All the men in uniform
began 20 gather toward the stair

Mr.. Fixit: Can people who don't
drink coffee get their ration and
then sell Ii to their friends?
Federal OPA rules say you can't
sell or give the coffee. The custo-
mary $4,000 fine and 10 years
in the jailhouse await the of

addresses in his file but If you
get in touch with the reference

have book that gives you all the
information.
MIR. Fixit: What allowances are
made for people who are hard on
shoes and can't get along on three
pairs year, What about people
on the farm that need work and
riding boots and also people In
offices who are on their feet lots
W. u.
According 10 our latest informa-
ton there doesn't seem to be much
that can be done for all those
people. However If the farm shoes
or riding boots are a special type
of shoe and can't be used for any
other purpose you can take up
the problem with your ration board
and they will issue a special order
for you. There are certain canvas
and cloth shoes that are not being
rationed.

penetrating comment regarding
Mr.. Roosevelt as a manager: HE
wants to be liked by people. His
gratitude is everlasting
that of most politicians-and he
hates TO hurt the feelings of any,

him. So when he brings in new
man he also keeps the castoff

BY ALBERT LENLAN

NEW fOkh - The mammoth
reception given by Chile to Henry
A. Wallace climaxed month
which saw goodwill ambassadors
by the dozen exchanged between
South American nations and the
United States. The vice pres-
dents trip, OF course, is ballyhooed
10 the iimit--as no doubt II should
be. But of more permanent value
are the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
talks between hemisphere BUSH
nessmen, speaking the common
language of trade.
Those who know the Latins best
declare that better commercial re-
lations-now and in peace days
must rest on realistic under
standing of conditions. On paper
Mexico should be able to meet
many of our war needs. but delays
in delivery are often caused by in
ternal troubles about which we
know little. For example; once
the country had a good transpor-
tation system. but the first act of
the rebels in the 1910 revolution
was to blow up bridges and wreck
equipment.
Various radical governments
turned the railroads over to
the workers. II may astonish
many here TO learn that
Mexican conductor or engin-
eer earns more pay than do
similar experts north of the
border. Instead of using
money for repairs and depreci-
alton, the income was split
among employees.
Chile, however, has exceptional
ly efficient networks. The train
service between Valparaiso and
Santiago is as fine as any in the
world. But, unless United States
exporters study the various dis
PARTIES between countries, they
will suffer endless headaches-and
financial losses.
We are beginning to learn that
we cannot deal with South Amer
leans in high pressure manner.
When a salesman calls on a Latin
buyer, the customer invites him
to a bull fight or some other rec
reation. Courtesy always comes
first. In a couple of days he is
willing to talk trade.
We formerly lost out in many
transactions because we insisted
on packaging our goods by pounds
or gallons when the purchaser
wanted them in quintals or frascos.
Wise British agents would &C

orders.
We are inclined to mis-
pronounce proper names or
laugh them off a. jokes. But
such levity offends the SEN
sitive Latins who are very
proud of their family appel
ations. And nothing insults a
CARDIGAN more than TO be adj

b. RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON - Chester c.
Davis is one Of the ablest men
u serve in the capital under the
New Deal. But his appointment
as food car with absolute power
over all phases Of the question
amounts 10 only another reshuf-
fling without any fundamental at
tack on this issue.
Claude r wickard may be side
tracked or ousted as a result Of
this latest move. He and the
Federal Reserve banker from st.
Louis have had frequent differ
ences with respect 10 farm policy
in the past.
The secretary Of agriculture sug-
gested to the White House more
than six months ago certain de-
oisions which would have insured
fairly low prices and enough meals
for the American people. But not
a single one of his proposals was
aAANEAAaa aN0W II 70 aAiAADCl wv
late for Mr.. Davis or anybody else
to put them into effect. His
friends fear that he faces the same
sort of trouble that led to the
resignation" Of Price Admins
traitor Leon Henderson and the
dog housing of Mr.. Wickard.
A few months ago several Re-
publican congressman protested
against the presence of bayoneted
infantrymen as guards outside the
Capitol building.
GOP-ers suggested that these
fighters could be used more eff
fectively elsewhere. They also
pointed out in off-the-record talks
that assignment of several COM
panies to this detail was intended
to influence ballots.
Speaker Rayburn, who acts as
custodian and housekeeper of the
legislative branch, pishtished these
fears. He replied that he would
keep the doughboys around for the
duration in order to insure the
safety of the peoples elected rep
resentstives.
But quietly the soldiery has
disappeared.
President Roosevelt's political
managers have launched several
movements aimed at "appeasing"
a mutinous band of Dixie Demo-
Gratis.
The Tennessee Valley authority
recently recommended a revision
of railroad freight rates so as to
place this area on an economic
par with other regions. Although
it is not generally realized, this
has been the South's chief grippe
against Washington for many
years.
Washington looks for several
major shifts in the cabinet with
in the next few months. FDR
frequently changes his mind, but it
is known that ne has discussed
reshufflings with his closest adj
visers.
According to the proposed
schedule, Henry l.. Stimson

10 return TO London. Winant
say step into the post of Sec
rotary of Labor. with Frances
Perkins moving TO the job

ing success as federal security adj
ministrator, could probably have

Mexico City.
