Point Ration Bargains

Reports that many butchers in
Washington and other cities are SELL
ing meat without collecting ration
stamps or at less than the estab-
lished point value, present a situa-
ton that is both difficult to under
stand and inimical to the rationing
program.
Under the regulations a dealer is
permitted to slash point values to
move meat which is in imminent
danger of spoilage" There can be
no question that this is a desirable
safeguard, and that in any legitimate
case dealer should be permitted to
dispose of his stock at bargain"
point values rather than let the food
spoil. But, assuming the correctness
OF reports that these bargain sales
have been widespread, a question
arises as to the circumstances under
which the excess stocks of meat were
accumulated. Last week, according
to all reports. there was very little
beef in the stores. Now, it is said,
many stores are heavily overstocked
with beef which is in imminent dan
ger of spelling, Since good beef,
properly handled in legitimate chan
nels, will keep for five weeks or more,
the Office of Price Administration
would seem to be fully justified in
taking close look at the character
of these excess stocks and their
places of origin.
1t has been suggested that the
trouble arises in part from the pres
ence of black market beef in some
stores. Another possibility put forth
is that some butchers, anxious to
maintain their volume of sales, are
too quick to conclude that their sup
plies are in imminent danger of
spoilage. Whatever the explanation
may be, however, it seems clear
enough that this is state of affairs
which is highly prejudicial to those
dealers who have not overstocked
and who are not disposing of their
meats through the bargain point
method. Furthermore, if this lat
ter practice is to continue, house
wives are going to be in quandary
as to where and when they should
cash their points. Should they buy
at the established point value, or
should they put off their buying in
the hope of finding more and better
bargain sales?
Because of the Importance of these
matters, both to the dealers and to
the public, the OPA is fully justified
In its warning that it will insist in all
cases on the strictest compliance
with the conditions under which
merchants are permitted to cut the
point values of their commodities.

Mr.. WeIIes' Acid Test

Sumner Welles' address last week
before the Chamber Of Commerce OF
the State of New York is the latest
in a series of notable utterances by
MIN on Americas postwar foreign
policy. AS on previous occasions,
the Undersecretary of States ap-
proach was economic, but the pollt-
ical and diplomatic implications OF
the problem were clearly set forth.
The immediate occasion for his
address was the necessity for con-
gressional action on the Trade Agree
ments Act, which will expire this
June unless renewed by the legisla-
tive branch of Government. That
law, originally enacted in 1884, au-
thorizes the Executive to enter into
agreements with foreign countries
reducing our tariff schedules up to a
limit of SO per cent in return for
corresponding concessions. Under
this act some thirty agreements have
been negotiated during the past nine
years It has thus become a major
instrument in the conduct OF our
foreign trade policy.
Mr.. Welles gave detailed descrip-
ton of the method and aims of the
administration, making strong case
for the acts benef1cent effect upon
our foreign trade. But the larger
significance of Mr. Welles' speech was
his emphasis on the vital impor-
tance of continuation of this policy
for postwac. peace and stability. AS
he himself expressed it, what Con-
gress does in the matter goes be-
yond trade and employment; it is
the first concrete test of whether we
really intend to cooperate with the
rest of the world in matter that
is essential. not only to a full solu-
ton of our domestic problems, but to
the construction of durable peace"
Mr.. Welles pointed out that the
economic crisis with which the world
will be confronted at the close OF
the war cannot be solved if the ma
tions return to the rivalries and cut
throat competition that character
lied the prewar decade, and that
the postwar pattern will be largely
determined by the attitude of the
United States, with its great markets
and productive power He warned
that even though an effective polit-
ical organization be set up for the
maintenance Of world peace, it will
fall apart if the economic under
pinning is unsound.'
Indeed, Mr.. Welles went on to
argue that a renewal of the Trade
Agreements Act will be regarded by
peoples throughout the world as an
acid test of our future intentions.
They will see in that decision a clear
indication as to whether the people
of the United States have determined
upon a policy of international CO.
operation for the future, or whether
they will once more turn back to that
road of isolation which leads to
inevitable disaster"
In thus integrating the economic,
political and psychological factors of
the problem, Mr. Welles has given a
balanced presentation for the con-
sideration of Congress and public
opinion, The timeliness and effec-
tiveness of his New York address is
self evident.

New Trends in Canada

Developments in our good neighbor
north OF the border are always worth
watching, Despite many differences
between Canada and the United
States, the two countries have so
much in common that a marked
trend in one nation is apt to fore
shadow something similar in the
other. That is why recent political
shifts in the Dominion can be profit
ably noted here.
Until recent years, both nations
were outstanding in their constancy
to the tWoparty system. Canada's
Conservative and Liberal Parties
closely paralleled our Republicans
and Democrats. The parallel was
especially close as regards Canada's
Liberal Party, which is made up of
two widely diverse elements. The
analogy to our Solid South" is the
Province Of Quebec with it's French
speaking majority which moves po-
litically almost as unit. For many

Liberal strategy The Conservative
stronghold has been the Province of
Ontario, paralleling our Northeastern
States in Republican constancy In
both nations, the agrarian West has
been the scene of political efferves-
cence involving the breakage of
traditional ties and the rise of new
parties.
Canada's political instability dates
from the First World War. The Do
minion was in that gruelling struggle
from the beginning, and the strain
on it's national life was much more
profound than ours. The result was
that Canada never had a postwar
return to "normalcy" On the con-
trary, series of new political groups
have appeared on the western hori-
zon which prevented the two tradi-
tional parties from retaining the
monopoly of politics which they en-
joyed before 1914.
The early 192O's saw the prairie
provinces swept by an agrarian
radical movement, linked with labor
groups in the industrial eastern CEN
ters, which sent IS progressive"
members to the Canadian House of
Commons, more than ne-fourth of
the total. But the Progressives were
more protest than party, so this
first dissident wave receded until the
depression years of the 1905 stimu-
lated new movements such as the
Social Creditors" of Alberta All
these dissident groups presently con-
solidated in a movement known as
the Cooperative Commonwealth
Federation or CCF Party.
The present war has greatly stim-
ulated the trend toward the CCF.
The Liberal Party, now in Office, has
been badly split over the issue of
compulsory military service for over
seas duty, which offends French
Quebec. There, a new group has

For real satisfaction in carrots, by
all means go to California. It is
there that the carrot reaches true
perfection, under the stimulus of a
busy chamber of commerce and even

No, neither of these two great
States has become unbalanced. 1t

Something to Remember
From the Providence journal:

From the Providence journal:
If any one thinks that prices are high
now, let him look back a quarter of
century and see for himself what they
were in the World War when there was
no price control to speak Of Then you
paid at least 10 cents a pound for sugar,
10 cents pound for butter and 80 cents
a pound for lard. When we had been
in that war as long as we have been in
this one, the retail prices that you paid
for necessities of life were twice as high
on the average as they are today. The
reason for the difference, and the only
reason, is price control Even with
such control. it is not possible to pre-
vent the cost of living from steadily ad-
vancing. But under control it rises much
less rapidly than without control. Mr..
Roosevelt last Labor Day pointed out
that retail food prices then were ad-
vsncing at the rate of Ia per cent
a month. But at the comparable time
in the World War they were rising at
the rate of az per cent q month.

arisen, termed the Bloc Populaire
Canadien and naturally drawn
almost exclusively from Liberal
strength. On the other side, the
CCF is cutting into the Conservative
stronghold of Ontario, as witness the
South York by election of year ago,
which retired the veteran Conserva-
tive leader, Arthur Meighan, to
private life. The rapidly growing
strength of the CCF is indicated by
a series of unofficial polls conducted
by the Canadian Institutes of Public
Opinion. These report that, since
1910, Liberal strength in the Domin-
ion has decreased from SIS per cent
to 80 per cent, and Conservative
strength from 81 per cent to 27 per
cent, whereas the CCF has risen from
8 per cent to % per cent, with the
kindred Bloc Populaire rising from
zero to 7 per cent in the Dominion
total and 26 per cent in Quebec.
Those are startling figures. They
portend the decline Of both the ira
ditional parties and the emergence
Of new groups distinctly radical in
complexion. Nothing analogous has
vet occurred in the United States,
but the ordeal of war is already pro-
ducing strains and stresses in both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties. 1t will be interesting to observe
the emergence Of possible parallels
on this side of the line.

STEPHEN BENET'S PRAYER
By The Right Rev. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D. ILL., C. L..
Bishop of WASHINGTON

Some OF the most appealing and sug-
gestive messages that we get through
the press and radio today come from
distinguished laymen. The secular
press so-called is itself, through edi-
torials and articles attempting to bring
reinsurance and hope to the troubled
minds of men and women. Secular"
and religious" are terms that need
qualifying today.
A striking illustration of this is freshly
emphasized by the death of Stephen
Vincent Benet. In his writings and in
his comments over the air he attempted
to interpret the present world disorders
in terms of the spiritual. He saw behind
the massed forces assembled on sea and
land and in the air, yes, and behind all
the effort being put forth to bind ma
tions together in great cause, those
mighty, elemental forces that we call
spiritual. He was possessed of a mind
that was capable of maintaining its
poise, yes, and its peace, despite all the
jarring and contentious elements that
are struggling for supremacy His fine
conception of what America should be
to the world governed him in all his
thinking and speaking. Suggestive of
this, he wrote the following as prayer
for the United Nations: Grant us
brotherhood Grant us common
faith that man shall know bread and
peace; that he shall know justice and
righteousness. freedom and security: an
equal opportunity and an equal chance
to do his best. not only in our own land
but throughout the world And in this
faith let us march toward the clean
world our hands can make"
There was nothing of bitterness or
hatred in his petition. People to him
were people wherever and whoever thev
might be, even universal strife could
not make him forget those Christian
loeals upon which the Republic was
founded His attitude is in sharp con-

Immortal Prophet

When Woodrow Wilson died on
February 3, 1924. there were more
than few of his countrymen who
frankly thought that his influence
was at an end He had stood for
ideals which no longer were fashion,
able: and now that his final breath
was spent, he would have his rest and
the world would go on very much as
1t had before his life had started
What was wanted was more real
istic philosophy than his. Practical
leaders, it was expected, would follow
one another through the discernible
future.
And the anticipation so set forth
was justified by the sequence of
events. The Nation prospered, and
It's people were happy in the enjoy
ment OF their accommodating wealth.
News Of trouble abroad reached them
only as though it came from another
planet. They were at peace with all
their neighbors, and there seemed no
reason why they ever again should
be involved in armed conflict with
any foreign government.
Meanwhile the twenty-eighth Pres
ldent of the United States passed
beyond the concern of the masses he
had sought to serve. If he were not
altogether forgotten, he was taken
for granted" A few faithful ad-
herents made pilgrimage to his tomb
in Washington Cathedral on success
sive Armistice Days. His portrait
adorned 17-cent postage stamp.
But Mr.. Wilson was not born to be
lost in obscurity. There was in him
light which still burns with undi-
minished power. His sympathy and
his intelligence continue to affect the
destiny of the world. A single illus
tration of his strength as an i'm
mortal prophet is to be found in these
words, written by him December 80,
1918, and now repeated for their ap-
plication to present times and cur
rent conditions among men: Friend
ship must have machinery. If l
cannot correspond with you. if can
not learn your mind, if I cannot CO.
operate with you, ! cannot be your
friend, and if the world is to remain
a body OF friends it must have the
means of friendship, the means of
constant friendly intercourse, the
means of constant watchfulness over
