Price Panel wishes 10 call special l.

INDIAN WEAVING SONG.

Upon the sky's dark background
/ have been weaving patterns of
sound,
With a broken moon for a shuttle.
Weaving song for you to hear.
My loom is deep in the hills
And the stars stand by me while I
work.
My loom is deep in the hills
And the desert is near at hand.
Why do you only stay away,
With the green of young CORN
And the purple OF sage-bl6ssoms
have made an old design for Won.
Out of the red sunrise, the yellow
midday
And the cool blue evening
l have fashioned thing of beauty
But not until you come to tic the

Can it be finished,
Not until you come and say the song
is good
Shall any call my weaving done.

The ONCOMING
NATIONAL ELECTION

With another election in the offing,
public thought persists in turning toward
national politics.
There are some who regret such an
election comes in the midst of tense war.
Elections, they point out, create heated
internal diSsensions, arouse angry emo
tlons, turn part of the people against
the other part In short, a national cleo
tion creates disunity whereas the need is
for as near perfect unity as it is possible
to achieve.
There are others who welcome the
coming event with equal sincerity. They
believe that there should be a change in
management In fact, not a small part
of this group view with jealousy the Eng
lish parliamentary system which permits
a change of management when as and If
the House of Commons so determines.
Midway in between these views is to
be found the proper stand which is that
elections are part of the American sys-
tenn we have had them for los years and
are still intact: America somehow can
get mad at itself but still remain power
full national entity.
There is much to be said in favor of
all three points of view, and the least to
be said in favor of those who contend
that a national election now is a serious
evil.
Generally speaking, this country needs
popular referendums far more than 1t
gets them. Far too seldom does the
direct voice of the people make itself
heard We know the thoughts of public
leaders, speakers, commentators, editors.
writers and educators, but what the peo-
pie think remains somewhat of deep,
dark mystery until an election comes
along.
1t is true that often not even an cleo
ton reveals what the people think on
vital issues because, unhappily, the crafty
and canny politicos of recent years have
become expert at confusing issues by
means of ambiguity of statement.
