SEATING ABOUT
THE BUSH

Back on November 80 Frank c. Walk
er, postmaster general and by that right
democratic national chairman, spoke at
length on Elections in Wartime" This
was, of course, after the electorate in
several pivotal states had rapudlated
the New Deal. Mr.. Walker was eXercis-
ing the right of all Americans to free
speech. Then on motion of an admins
tration follower the speech was entered
in the Congressional Record. AS to why
this was done anybody's guess is as good
as another. Some would go as far as to
wonder why the obsequies. But there
it is.
Now there comes to hand the speech in
pamphlet form, a reproduction of the
process (and the speech) required to
place it in said Congressional Record.
The pamphlet bears this introduction:
Radio address of the Hon. Frank c.
Walker, chairman Democratic National
Committee, November 30, 1943. Printed
in the Congressional Record of December
l, 1943. Not printed at government eX-
penSe." And at the bottom of the title
page of the pamphlet in fine print (Unit-
ed States Government Printing Office,
Washington: 943-56415S-4515)
Just why all the explanation that cir
culation Of the speech was without ben
eft of pubic largess is not clear. 1t is
something new and there probably is
something not visible to the naked eye
in connection with the whole business.
Presumably it was thought publication
in the record would add weight to the
authority" of the speech. And it costs
money to print the Congressional Rec
ord. 1t requires paper and paper is at
a premium. Granting the reproduced
speech was circulated at the expense of
someone outside the government, all the
explanations do not wipe out the fact
that somewhere, hidden in government
costs, is an item for Mr. Walkers speech.
Probably those issuing the printed ad-
dress turned to the we'll known theory
that hidden taxes don't hurt"

Dsregarding the daily output of
printed and spoken words it is accepted
that 1914 will be an unpleasant year.
Perhaps not as tough as we think is.
Most of us have family histories that
stretch back to acorn coffee and root
hog-or-dic slogans. Americans took it
then and didn't like it and they will fol-
low the same routine in 1914.
There will be less to eat. We shall

be even a partial crop failure next year
