u. s., Canada Agree
To Raise Newsprint
Ceiling 81 Per Ton
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOclaLeu Fress.
In joint United States-Canadian
action, the ceiling price on standard
newsprint will be raised 81 ton
September land other grades by
similar amounts-in a move aimed
at meeting higher costs of wood
procurement.
Plans for the new ceilings we're
announced last night by the Office
of Price Administration and the
Canadian Price Board. following
conferences in Washington and
Montreal with newspaper publishers
and newSprint manufacturers.
Price Administrator Brown said
a number of newsprint mills in both
countries have been operating at a
loss" and that OPA was charged
with the job of adjusting prices up
ward or downward, as will be gener-
ally fair and equitable.
New Port Prices"
For standard newsprint the boost
will bring the ceiling port price"
to $58 ton, side-run to $50 and
super-standard to $61.50.
Prices in the various zones of the
country will be adjusted upward in
conformance with the port price
increase.
Mr.. Brown said Canadian pro-
ducers had sought an increase of
Sc ton while American producers
asked between IS and Sc.
Mr.. Brown recalled that earlier
this year Canadian producers asked
for an increase of So, but he and
the Canadian officials agreed March
l to 81 increase at that time. Dis
cussions have continued since then,
resulting in the new order for an
additional 81 increase.
Want Further Boost.
In Ottawa, the Canadian Prices
Board said that on the basis of cost
figures the board lis of the opinion
that the present proposed increase
is inadequate and that further dis
cussions with the American author
tiles will need to be held"
A statement quoted Donald Cor
don, chairman of the board, as say
ing:
The whole field of pulp and paper
production by Canada now is under
active consideration by the board.
While the board regrets the
necessity of increasing publishers
costs at the present time, it feels
that its first concern must be to
provide production sufficient to as
sure that essential supplies will be
available.
Every effort is being made to
press forward the present examina-
ton of the whole industry as quickly
as possible

National Food Policy
Is Branded 'InsoIvent'
By Farm Group Chief
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 22.-J. A. Nc
Council, chairman of the Feed In
dustry Council, said today that the
national food policy was ''insolvent"
because there is mo way of making
good on the many commitments
that the country has made to the
consumers. to the farmers and to
our Allies"
Addressing the All-1ndustry War;
time Conference of the 1nternatlon-
al Baby Chick Association, Mr.. Nc
Conneu listed the following as COM
mitments which he said the Gov
eminent has made and cannot meet:
1.-The promise to industrial work.
ers and city consumers that the war
could be fought without making
subtantial sacrifices in the kinds and
costs of foods; the promise to farm
ers that they would have forthcom-
ing the wherewithal to meet crop
goals which called for them to pro-
duce as never before, and commit
ments through lease-lend to supply
the people of the Allied nations, dur
ing the war and after, with great
supplies of food"
Cannot Be Met.
He declared that the first two
commitments have not and cannot
be met" and asserted that the Ma
ton was trying to live up to the
third but that the degree to which
we fulfill This commitment will de-
termine the degree to which we de-
fault on the commitments made to
our own people"
Declaring that latter nearly three
years of supplying food for the war
effort we have not yet, as Nation,
determined workable food policy"
Mr.. Mcconnell said that some, If
not all. of these commitments will
be short-changed.
But one food commitment that
takes precedence. he added, lis to
the armed forces and the Nation
cannot default on this for the people
Of this country will insist that we
make good on that one at the ex-
pense of all others"
Cites Feed Shortage.
Mr.. Mcconnell OF Ithaca, N. Y,
who is general manager of the Co.
operative Grange League Fedora
ton Exchange, a farmers Corpora
tive with members in New York,
New Jersey and Northern Pennsyl-
vania, said there was a serious
shortage of feed. He predicted that
by next March "the real underlying
feed shortage. which is now in the
making, will be so great that there
will be no way to squirm out of it
except through liquidation of all
classes of animals on vast scale"
When the new grain crops are
harvested this fall, he said, the
Nation still will be short by at least
20 per cent enough feed to carry
its livestock through the feeding
year beginning in October.
Tens of thousands of farmers
already are desperate" he said, mot
knowing from one day to the next
whether they can continue to feed
their animals and livestock the next
day"
He also said that the milk and
egg supply of the 100000 people
living east of Ohio and north of the
Carolinas is ALREADY endangered"
because of the shortage of feed.

THE MAJORITY SHOULD ORGANIZE

The development of politics in the
United States has reached the point where
practically every minority is militantly ag-
gressive, thus forcing office-holders to pay
particular attention to them in order to
capture minority vote.
This is strange situation. The major
ity, in most electoral districts, is not as we'll
organized as the aggressive minorities and,
consequently, what it thinks and what ii
wants often fails to receive as much atten-
ton as the vociferous demands of the min
critics.
This is distinct danger to the success
full operation of the Government of the
United STAGES Eventually, the vast major
ity of americans will become tired of the
successful strategy of the organized minor
~ities. Then the majority will organize itself
and the prospects of the minorities will be
bad
1t is important that minorities under
stand that most of their rights, privileges
and opportunities come to them through
the tolerance of the majority. In few coun-
tries of the world can one find situation
where the majority is persistently heckled
and criticized by minorities which enjoy
equal, and sometimes, superior rights.
There are congressman in the United
States who dare not take any position that
conflicts with the prejudices or desires of
minorities that are, to say the least, not
thoroughly American.
Large districts in Northern and West
~ern States contain huge foreign-born popu-
lations. Some of these people have had no
training whatever in democracy and many
of them are not concerned with the Amer
lean system of Government. They want re-
suits and they are organized politically to
get them.
Of course, if the majority should or
ganize and seek to play a dominant role
in the management of American political
affairs, the cry would instantly be heard
that the majority was intolerant. Certainly
this is foolishness.
1t can hardly be tolerant for minori.
ties to organize and aggressively assert
themselves and intolerant for majority
to do the same thing.

Lo, THE POTATO!

A lowly food item, one taken pretty
much for granted and certainly not listed
among the finer dishes crowding the AM
erican dining table, that is now coming into
its own, is the potato or earthly "spud'' To-
day this vegetable has risen in rank to as
sumo an important spot ON the diet, since
many other vegetables have become scarce
in many sections. Imagine the surprise and
chagrin when.a housewife must go from
store to store, trying to find that once plen-
tiful and prolific vegetable. the potato. And
in many partseof the country the housewife
couldn't buy potato in any storei In some
cities the price has been exorbitant and a
black market thrived in the potato business,
causing shortage and a problem The
south has felt acutely for weeks past the
dwindling supply and has changed menus
accordingly. So it rises in Importance and
prominence, it enters as topic into Key
West conversation and has given rise to the
idea of folks who have the space to convert
a goodly share of their garden to potato
growing.

NOW BELONGS TO you

You may recall what George Wash
ington said to his secretary, who came to
work late two or three times week, when
he gave this excuse for being behind time:
General, my watch must be slow"
"You change your watch or I'll change
my secretary Washington snapped back.
Monday morning Key West boy, who
drifted in to work 10 minutes behind time,
when asked his reason for being late, re-
piled 81 had flat. /" so
The Boss had an excellent opportunity
to paraphrase the Father of Our Country,
but instead, he remarked:
Always an excuse.
The watch, the flat, or dozen and one
other excuses make work hard for many cf
u.s. We live only Now, and we should see to
it to do what should be done Now If we ad-
here to that principle, turning out work
when it should be turned out it is no longer
a trying task; many of us get pleasure out of
doing work at the time it should be done.
The Citizen knows of several house
wives who complain constantly about dish
washing. Anything else but that!" one
blurts, and another tunes in, ga big pile of
dishes makes my heart drop into my heels!"
Whenever you hear housewife say
that dishwashing is bugbear to her, ask
her if she doesn't let her dishes pile up from
meal to meal If she is frank, she will admit
she does, and then you can give her this as,
surance:
Madam, if you wash your dishes
promptly after each meal, it will end once
and for all the bother of dishwashing"
And that rule applies to any calling. If
you have book to balance and put off bal
ones that should have been attended to
promptly, you may be sure that book will
seem like an insuperable task.
Lord Brougham was once told in the
House Of Lords, in England, that he did
more work than any other three men in the
British Empire, and he was requested to ex-
plain how he was able to accomplish so
much. He replied:
By doing Now what should be done
Now" In enlarging on that point, he declar-
ed that, in the course of a day, the accumu-
lation of work is unbelievably large, if one
shoulders aside this or that thing that should
be attended to Immediately.
Work tries the souls of men and women
too when it is permitted to pile up. However
strange it may seem to be, washing dishes
from two meals is far more than twice as
hard as washing dishes promptly from one
meal. The sight of the pile alone makes it
appear five times as hard, and, with ones
mind in that state, probably it is more than
five times as tiresome.
All deferred work is hard work. The
man who really likes his work is he who
does it when it should be done. Now and
Now alone belongs to you, and the time to
work is Now

Catledge informs the readers of The New.

thousands are pouring through this port to
Pacific areas"
Accompanying and following them, he
adds, ''are millions of tons of food, equip

ton that the United States is doing nothing
