Let's Reverse
Scarcity Philosophy

After reading the statistics and arguments
relating to various phases of rationing and
price control IN the United States, one
comes to the inevitable conclusion that the
job OF telling each family what it can eat
and wear, and each farmer and manufac-
turer what he can produce, involves over
all planning of interlocking details that
would Stagger even the creator of all things.
The effort to make all phases of produce
ton and retailing a matter of statistics.
has become job beyond the conception
OF man. The factors that went into past
production and selling costs, may have lit
tie or no bearing today because of entirely
changed conditions that face producers and
retailers The confusion and shortages which
the consumer faces on every hand do not
mean that the idea of rationing is unsound.
but they do mean that the incentive to pro-
duce and sell in too many cases has been
Stifled by red tape.
Quoting statistics alone will not fill the
bread basket. There must be developed in
this country friendly governmental atti-
tude toward producers and retailers. Co.
operation must be a two-Sided affair. It is
all right to hold down prices, but when
necessary there must be quicker adjust
ment IN the cost of production and seHire.
Instead of perfecting plans for more ra-
tlonlng OF scarcities, why not put more en-
phasis on adopting policies which will pro.
duce plenty?

XWASHlNGTON "a
II SkAaSAoTS Up
By James Preston

Firm believer In the American
patent system, Casper william
Ooms, the 43-year-old new Patent
Commissioner, is making a study Of
Patent Office procedure before at
tempting any decision regarding
proposed reforms that might mean
drastic changes in the lives of
American farmers, workers, and
businessmen.
Recommended by Commerce Sec
rotary Wallace, Mr.. Ooms, success
full Chicago patent attorney, took
office during a struggle over patent
policies. One group holds that pat
ents encourage invention, and in
ventions create jobs" The other
demands changes in patent proce-
dure on the theory that patents
may sometimes have been used to
hold back invention.

To The Editor
Wyandotte News Herald
Dear Sir:
inconsistencies in travel arrange
ments are perplexing to say the
least.
An elderly couple of my acQuain-
lance, for example, planned to
spend their forty-seventh wedding
anniversary, December 81, 1914, with
their daughter in Southern Cali
fornia.
Late in December, however, press,
radio and motion picture blazoned
forth that thousands of service men
were to enjoy furloughs home dur
ing the holidays; that they would
require available travel space. Civ
ilianS were requested to postpone all
avoidable travel until after jan
uary 10.
The elderly couple, on these rep
reservations. rather than to inter-
fere with the home visit of a Serv-
ice man, postponed their anniver-
sary observation until January TO-
On their return trip they read
in the newspapers that three serv-
icemen, on the way home for
brief holiday visit, had been put
off their plane to make way for
Elliott Roosevelt's dog.

eled 1891 mikes. Along with the

Hears Both Sides

Arms on desk. tapering fingers
extended, OomS hears both sides.
He looks young, despite thinning
hair and the firmnesS in his wide
mouth. Washington knows, though,
that he has appeared in Supreme
Court in important patent cases.
Soothing If anyone suggests he
might do anything TO change the
historic concept of American pat
ents. Mr.. Ooms says he regards the
patent system as one Of the greatest
assets small business has, and is
eager to speed up issuance Of pat
ents asked by inventors.
Chicago friends regard him as a
progressive who will safeguard the
system that helped make America
the arsenal of democracy during the
war.
