ing onto the market with rush. In fact, marketings of both hogs and cattle are shooting upward. and this trend will continue through the late summer.
 Total U. S. meat production for 1943 is officially estimated at 23 IA billion pounds - near ly two billion pounds more than 1942, and by far the largest meat production in the history of the United States.
 This staggering figure is so much greater than the AS billion pounds required for the armed forces and Lend-Lease that there will be a comfortable quantity left over for civilian consumption.
 NEVERTHELESS, there is no plan to raise the ration allot- ment for civilians. It looks as if the combination of these two factors - abundant meat sup plies and continued tight ra- ton - will produce more of the irregular marketing which the Washington housewife encoun- tered at the local store.
 RUBBER DEUCE
 Officials in the office of the office of the Rubber Administrator are beginning to wonder what they can do with the hundreds of thousands of tons of synthetic rubber which will come from the ne-l plants next year. It seems little late, but they are now facing the elementary question of whether or not the tire com panies can handle the vast quan- titles of. synthetic rubber.
 The greatest amount of rub Der ever prOcessed by the na- tiOn's rubber companies in one year was 540,000 tons. But next year we shall have nearly one million tons to deal with. Obvi- ously, the present facilities will be inadequate.
 But the problem is aggravated by the fact that tire manufac- turing machinery has been knocked down and stored away so that rubber companies could convert to production for the war. Instead of tires, they have been making rubber boats, balloons, tank treads, and life rafts.
 Thus we have the problem of finding new plant space in which to bring that machinery back into production, and the further problem of creating en- tirely new productive facilities

 News coming out of Italy in the last couple weeks has been good bit like the news that used to ap- pear back in the days of sail, cen tury or more ago, when a traveller would arrive at some port and relay by word of mouth "the latest intel ligences." Today, 1t is travellers ar irving in Berne or Madrid or 1stan- bull who bring out the latest news of what is actually going on inside of Italy, and that is not much more reliable, perhaps, than the Axis

to take care of the increased quantities of rubber which will be available for manufacture,

De available Tor manufacture.
 NOTE: The problem of synthe- tic rubber tires, as previously noted in this column, is quality, not quantity. There will not be enough natural rubber to mix with synthetic to insura high quality in heavy duty tires.
 BADOGLIO STYMIED
 State Department officials be- lieve that Badoglio took office with the definite intention of get ting Italy out of the war and that he cannot turn back from that purpose. But if he had pro- ceeded directly, the Germans would have stepped in and Ba- doglio would have stepped out be- fore he could catch his breath.
 It must be remembered that the German force in Italy is not merely a military force. German civilians are in control of practically all railroad, tele- graph, and other communication facilities, as well as holding or supervising important municipal and provincial government posts. This it becomes impossible for the Italian government to take any step without the Germans being fully aware.
 According to this view, the Badoglio cooperation" with the Nazis is no indication of what he may hope to do, Or try to do la ter. Likewise, the subsidizing of civilian protests against the Badoglio government should not be regarded as indicating that Badoglio has resorted to the same suppressive measures as Musso- lini.
 State Department officials point out that liberal civilian elements have now shown their
 htInd and thus become vul- nerable to Nazi reprisaI. Thou sands of men have signed mani- feStOes, and scores of editorial writers have broken out into a fine fury against Fascism. But this only makes them more vuI- nerablc to the Nazis, who, after all, are still in control.
 These Italian leaders, realiz- ing 1t is no easy matter to step out of the war, are now moder- ating their tune, and giving Ba- doglio a chance to work out plans for peace.

Selected Poem
MRASH AT EVENING

By Ray Bernard, S. J. in the New York Tlmes) The wedge of gray and silent geese High up the dull blue sky Comes over misty ponds, and peace, Into the suns shut eye. Broad islands, green and blue lagoons, Make here patterned maze For modest rail and plunging looms, With all their reed-lined bays The stiffness heavy is as rain,
 No wind can lift the strife Of little things and little pain. Of little death, and life. A field of life is all this marsh
 Where hearts are burning bright In hidden breasts, and cold and harsh, And still their little light.
