MILK A LUXURY

MILK A LUXURY
After long weeks of battling
Sec. of Agriculture Claude Wick
ard, OPA's regulation freezing
prices paid farmers for fluid
milk was put into effect Feb. IS.
This subject at first glance may
seem unexciting, but when you
cosider that milk forms 11Go of
your food budget, and you think
how retail ceilings were pune
tured again and agin, you will
begin to find it interesting.
This isn't just post mortem
on why milk costs what it does.
It's a warning that one of the
most ruthless lobbies in Wash
ington is working at least 48
hours week to try to knock out
the order.
What Charlie Holman of the
Natl. Cooperative Milk Pro-
ducers Federation, country cou-
sins of the big distributors, and
the various state milk control
boards operating under the state
laws, can't get out Of Economic
Stabilizer James f. Byrnes, they
doubtless will try to get through
congressional act.
Unless wires and letter to con-
gressmen insisting that the re-
tail price of milk be held are
not forthcoming in abundance,
the vested farmer interests in
congress will try to knock the lid
off milk, which already is so
high that it is a luxury food.
COMPETITION RAISES PRICE
By law OPA can't control the
prices paid producers except
when they are above parity, or
Sept. Is, 1912, prices, whichever
are higher-and then only with
the permission of the Sec. of
Agriculture. AS long ago as last
August OPA asked Wickard
about controlling milk prices at
the source, and got no for an
answer.
The new order first was writ
ten at Christmas time, but
Wickard protested fiercely and
it was only after weeks of dis
cussion and when Judge Marvin
Jones, Byrnes' farm adviser, in
sisted, that the order was put
through.
Other items which the Natl.
Farmers Union lists as at or
above parity now are oranges,
147%o; lamb, 1877; beef cattle,
1856; veal calves, 1926; hogs, 118;
rice, 129; and chickens, IL Go.
Among items at less than parity
are eggs, 81; apples, 96; wheat
and corn, 81; oats, II; rye, bar
ley, 65; and dry edible beans, 90.
1t was when a seasonal period
of low milk production set in
and fluid milk was shy in some
markets, with distributors COM
peting with each other and rails
ing prices, the OPA consented to
raise retail ceilings in many
places. Moreover, 20 states have
milk boards and many of them
raised producers prices. The
new order if it sticks will pre-
vent further increases, says
OPA.
PRODUCTION PRICE
Under the new socalled dol
lars and cents system, actually
a percentage markup system
which will replace the Maximum
Price Regulation in meats and
processed foods in April (pork
in three to four weeks) the pro-
duction price will be even more
important.
For while maximum prices
tend to at least exert resistance
against added costs and lifted
ceilings, under the percentage
plan controls along the way will
count for little if prices to pro-
ducers can rise at will
If they aren't controlled,
unions attempting to publish
prices for all four categories of
stores in communities would
have to publish them rather like
stock market reports, they might

eve here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died
in vain :"
What do these words mean? Is
there any connection between
the thought expressed by an
American patriot of yesteryear
and the words of Vice President
Wallace in declaring the coming
century to be the century of the
common man?
If the next hundred years are
to be an era of economic and po-
litical freedom for the peoples
of all nations of the world there
will be little opportunity for die
tators to exploit themselves.
We often curse an evil prod
uct rather than its creator. How
ever much we may disagree with
the person who breaches an ism
or creed which we know to be
dangerous to society, we must
place at least a portion of the
blame upon those responsible for
his acceptance of the false phil
osophy. This is not to say that
absolution should be given any
one who breaches un-American-
ism, but it is quite evident that
if everything had been as it
should have been in the past,
there would have been no need
for governmental regulation in
order to protect the common
man.

SOLEMN OBLIGATION

We owe it to our fighting men
that we will truly keep the home
fires burning. And we have SOL
emn obligation as citizens of a
free Country, to keep that Coun-
try free from all enemies, do
mestic, as well as alien. In doing
this we must keep alive the
democratic processes of govern
ment, and make it a peoples
government"
We must recognize the fact
that as taxpayers and voters we
have the privilege Of demanding
that our wishes be respected. If
anyone believes that profession
al politicians do not work for the
privileged few, that person is a
dolt. LESS politicians and more
patriots" is a worthwhile slogan
to remember, during the war and
during the peace.
JAW AIDS WORKERS
The UAW-CIO has done much
toward the betterment of the in
dustrial worker. But we have
merely scratched the surface.
Economic security can be at
tained only through collective
political action, and this is the
job confronting not only our or
ganiZation, but all unions.
Uncomfortable, indeed, will be
the position of the civilian who
is called upon to explain to the
returning serviceman why his
wages, his hours and his work
ing conditions have been changed
during his absence and without
his approval,
IL the world is not a better
place in which TO live, "those
dead shall have died in vain!"
We have been appointed the
custodians of the servicemen's
welfare. Let us make every sac
rifice possible during this war,
but let us also accept our re-
sponsibility of taking an interest
in good government, so that the
American "New Order" will be
one Of freedom, both economical
ly and politically.

she took over the title spot so
completely that you were hardly
aware that there were other
characters in the cast. But in
this production Miss Sidney and
Mr.. Adler share top honors so
evenly that neither can take
more than a just share of bows.
Although fans are more likely
TO remember Miss Sidney for
her work in films, she actually
got her start in the theater and

ated with footlights as she has
