MUDDLED SITUATION
IN FOOD PRICES

AS I UNDERSTAND 1T the gov
ernment puts a ceiling price to the
grower on oranges. Under that cell
ing price the California grower of
Valencia-the summer-oranges re-
ceived $3.50 a packed box for first
grade fruit. For the culls from
which second grades are taken he
is paid $50 a ton, and for the rejects,
from which juice and other by-prod-
ucts are extracted, he gets $40
ton. That ceiling price is fixed by
the government ostensibly to pro-
tect the consumer, but those $1.50
a box oranges, with more than IL
dozen in each box, are selling in
eastern cities as high as $1.50 doz-
en-. The difference is supposed to
represent transportation and mar
keting costs. 1t would seem the
citrus raiser is the only one whose
price is regulated for the benefit of
the consumer. What applies to
oranges applies also to many other
farm products.

PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT


The only people in the u. S. A.
who are really made unhappy by
the Presidents travels-especiall
overseas-are the Secret Service.
They spend sleepless nights until he
comes home again, worried that
something may happen.
On last winters overseas junket
to Casablanca, an extraordinary
measure of protection was taken.
Nothing like it has ever been seen
in the history of the world. A great
armada of ships of all kinds, mostly
fighting ships, was assembled near
the bulge of Brazil, and also near
the bulge of West Africa. The ships
moved out along the path which the
President was to follow and prac-
tically covered every square mile
of the Atlantic at this narrow cross
ing.
The President himself was flying
overhead in a Pan American clip
per, and the purpose of the ships
was to form what the navy called
a met" of protection. 1t was to
serve the President as the net in
the circus serves the trapeze artists.
If the Presidents plane were forced
down into the sea, no matter where,
there would be at least one ship at
that spot to rescue him.
No such plan was used on his latest
trip, however. The mode of protec-
ton cannot now be revealed, but
when the story is told, it will show
an entirely different strategy.

Turkey for Christmas

Turkey was introduced to England
by king, James I. 1t was the Gus
tom in that time to serve a boar's
head for the Christmas feast, but
King James did not like pork, and
substituted the turkey, and it be-
came popular on British tables.

CAREER DIPLOMATS

Career diplomats are worried
about a state department policy
which brings new men into the for
eign service at higher rates of pay
even including some men who have
previously failed to pass career serv-
ice examinations.
known as "auxiliaries," they are
appointed for the duration of the
war. But Assistant Secretary of
State Rowland Shaw recently limited
that they may be kept indefinitely.
Alexander Schnee, 20, twice failed
the foreign service examination. He
then took job with the commerce
department and, when the war
came, was made an auxiliary for
eign service officer. He is now at
tached to the U. S. embassy at
Buenos Aires, at $4,000. If he had
passed the exams in the first place,
he would now be getting only 5000.
Fred H. Await, 33, likewise failed
the foreign service exam, later was
appointed as an auxiliary, and is
serving as junior economic analyst
at $1,000, which is $500 more than
he would be getting if he had not
failed the examinations.
Men who have passed those exams
