ROLL-BACk BEFUDDLEMENI
Then this roll-back business
on meats. butter and coffee. The
10 per cent roll-back on these
three items would, it was figured
by the economists, reduce the
famil food bill by 3 per cent,
reduce the cost Of living by |
per cent The sa"ing might be
as much as 81 per person per
year You should be thankful
for even these small favors, but
wait a minute.
When there isn't normal
supply Of meat available. at any
price. what good does il do to
roll back the price? You save
money on meat when there ism
any meat to bu., but you don't
save any more - even IL the
price is rolled back on the
meat that isn't there. The pri-
mary problem is to get more
meat for you e. buy. Will cut
ting the price, and then paying
ibSidv to the meat packer

stock grower will get few
cents more per pound. thus en-

of a 4 or ) cents per pound roll

CHEESE SCARCE
DESPITE SUBSIDIES
or one thing you can be sure.
A roll-back on the price of cof-
fee isn't going to get you any
more coffee, no matter how the
subsidy is paid or who gets it.
The problem there isn't one OF
price but of shipping space.
Add all this up, and il be-
gins 10 appear that the rollback
idea on coffee. butter and meat
at any rate, is apt to be bust.

These subsidies YOU can under

from paying. Only other food

more milk for cheese produc-

is now "a per cent below what

IF the proposed subsidies on
meat and butter don't work any
better than they have on cheese,
its going to be too bad

all the possibilities of becoming
stronger as the basis of rap i d
achievement in the struggle against
Hitherto German and her satel-
lites and as the basis for postwar
cooperation of all large and small
nations.
At only one point did the Izvestia
editorial make what might be con-
strued as reference to an Allied
second front" in Europe, when
it said: The terms of victor will
depend upon how soon and how
completely this superiority (of the
United Naticns) is exerted upon
the common enemy On the battle

The editorial declared tn t
American public opinion realizes
very well the invaluable invest
ment made by the Soviet Union
and the Red army toward defeat
ing the common enemy, and added
that 'the Soviet people highly ap-
preciate the aid offered by our
Allies, the United States and Great
Britain, to the Rec army in the

Cooperation in battle,' it said,

of the two nations and to all the
