GOVERNMENT WANDERS
IN SUBSIDY SCHEME

Government subsidies, no matter how
applied or on what theory set up, are
tricky substitutes of the human mind
for the natural law of supply and de-
mand. The new deal has been wed to sub
sides as a means of maintaining prices.
The theory has not worked out Instead
of recognizing the impossibiities of the
system and moving from other angles,
other tacks have been taken on the same
line with the result that the whole mat
ter has run into snarls and the objective
entirely defeated. And, in the meantime
producers and consumers both suffer.
An instance is the wheat flour subsidy.
One part of the scheme pretends to keep
down the retail price of bread, while the
other is paid on exports of flour and is
designed to reduce export prices so that
the United States can compete IN the
world market. Both are based on the fal-
lacy OF raising wheat prices despite the
huge surpluses that have been and are
available.
A lowered wheat price automatically
keep bread prices down. Today the gov
eminent is paying premium out of the
taxpayers pockets on wheat shipped to
Britain and other markets which permits
the purchasing nation to speculate on
the low priced grain delivered to them,
As it now stands taxpayers are paying
taxes to pay subsidies to hold up the

WAR REFUGEE BOARDS
MAKE REPORT

(PaSadena Star-NeWSJ
One of the most terrible indictments OF
a people on record is contained In the
recent released report by the War Rel
ugees board, composed of the secretary
of state, the secretary of the treasury
and the secretary of war.
Named by the President of the United
States to try to arrange the rescue of
victims of enemy prosecutions, the board
saws: at is a fact beyond denial that
the Germans have deliberately and sys-
tematically murdered millions of inno-
cent civilians-Jews and Christians alike
all over Europe.
The wholesale atrocities are part
of Nazi tactics of subjugating other peo-
Piles and establishing the supremacy OF
the master race"

Publishers Rap
New Labor Laws

CHICAGO. Dec. Il. CUP) - A
group of daily newspaper publish
ers are on record as opposed to re-
Gently enacted laws and resolutions
of the International Typographical
Union which threaten to jecpar-
die" future industrial relations be-
tween newspaper management and
printing craft unions.
The publishers, attending a meet
ing called By the American News
paper Publishers association, the
Inland Daily Press association, New
England Daily Newspaper associa-
ton. Pacific Northwest Newspaper
as50ciat ton and Southern Newspaper
Publishers association, issued joint
statement at the conclusion OF their
tWo-day session yesterday advocat-
ing a meeting between the l. T. U.
and A. N. p. A. representatives to
consider the new laws, effective
January /.
The laws, the publishers state
ment said, would provide the l. T. U.
executive council with a blank
check" if newspaper management
agreed to Blanket recognition CT un-
ion regulations.
TIE laws provide that when any
arbitration procedure TO which a
local union committee is committed
reaches q deadlock where further
action cannot result in conclusion
within reasonable time, the local un-
ion NAV request the executive coun-
ell to release it from further obliga-
tions under such arbitration pro-
cedure or agreement"
ANY provision OF any contract
could be maneuvcred into a dead
lock-" the publishers charged, with
the net result that no contract
would mean from day TO day other
than what the executive council
would interpret it to mean"

STATE TO BUY
SCHOOL BUSES

RALEIGH, March % Up The
State School Board today autho-
rized the purchase of 800 new
school buses which have been al
loted North Carolina by the War
Production Board and the Office
of Defense Transportation. The
cost would approximate $537, 900.
Controller Paul Reid told the
board that the states present al
lotment of new buses had been
set at 800, but that there is a
possibility 200 others may be made
available. These also will be pur-
chased, he said, runningg the to-
tai cost to about 1897, 500. Each
unit would cost $3.50. The state
annually appropriates $650,000 for
new buses.
Holding their regularly schedul-
ed April meeting today so that
members could attend the annual
convention of the North Carolina
Education Association, the board
adopted a motion authorizing Reid
to resign his position as 4superin-
tendent OF the Elizabeth City
schools in order to continue as
acting controller Of the board.
Reid succeeded Nathan Yelton,
when the latter entered the serv-
ice in January and his leave of
absence from the Elizabeth City
post expires July 1.
