Government MeddlinS

Instead, the bulk of the egg sup
ply is finding it's way into the So
called "black market" where not
only the cost of production is obtain
able but an usurious profit as well.
Since it is not only in eggs, but
in nearly all essential commodities,
that the price control system has
encouraged and even created black
markets and made them usuriously
profitable to the operators and at the
same time the only adequate source
of consumer supply, it is time to
inquire if the whole principle of price
control has not proved more harmful
than beneficial.
THE only real justification there
L has ever been for price control
was in the promise of the govern
ment and the expectation of the
people that it would assure an ade-
quate supply of essential foods and
goods at reasonable price.
But our national experience with
the egg market, and with the sup
plies of other foods and goods, is
obviously that government meddling
with prices does not prevent black
markets but merely MEANS black
markets and drives the people into
them.
In other words, natural economic
forces tend to operate in SPITE of
price controls the main dis
advantage under price control that
honest people are penalized and dis
honest people flourish.

A Detrimental Proposal

scheme as a revenue measure, Tor
the post office department is operat-
ing at profit and has accumulated
a surplus of S12l ,000,0 for the first
nine months of the current fiscal
year.
The late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt appreciated the cultural
value of literature and in 1888 estab-
lished for the whole country by
proclamation a uniform book postal
rate of cent and half a pound.
Congress since then has trebled
the rate and more, detrimentally to
book publishing.
WHAT Congress should do is to
w recognize that books are, like
magazines and newspapers, an in
tegral portion of our free press and
apply to each of them, as President
Roosevelt did in effect, the rate fixed
by Congress itself in 1879 for ""sec-
ond class matter" in order to "pro-
vide wide dissemination of the writ
ten word through the nation"
The question of evil books is not
involved.
The government has authority to
deny them the privileges of the mails
at any postal rate.
The sole issue is one of combating
illiteracy and elevating the Ameri-
can standards of life.
Those who believe the Mckenzie
bill is fraught with harm should pro-
test to Rep. Thomas G. Burch, chair
man of the House committee which
has the bill in custody.
Detroit evening times., 1945-06-11

DURING hearings recently before
~ the food committee of the House
of Representatives the significant
admission was frankly made by an
official of the War Food Admins
tration that the best cure for the
nations critical egg shortage would
be removal of federal price restric-
tions.
Testifying that the egg situation
is bad now and is going to get worse.
Thomas G.. Stitts, head of the dairy
and poultry branch of the War Food
Administration, told the committee:
at seems only fair, both to the
industry and the consumer, to get
LEGITIMATE DISTRIBUTION by
returning to the old system of supply
and demand"
1T IS to be wondered if this &C
L acknowledgement does not call up
the whole question of federal price
control and regulation for re-exam-
ination.
1t is not only the supply of eggs
that has been short under the pre-
vailing price control system, but
nearly all basic and essential COM
modities are having the same expert
ence.
What has happened in the egg
market is that the government has
attempted to enforce a price ceiling
that does not return the cost of pro-
duction to the producer, and hence
there are not sufficient eggs in the
legal market to supply consumer
needs.

POLITICAL PARADE

President Trumans leadership has been
rejected.
1T DOES MEAN THAT THE COUN-
TRY is TURNING TO THE RIGHT.
President Truman has also turned in
that direction.
So has Ontario, and so too will Britain,
where Prime Minister Churchill is almost
certain to win.
In Montana the Republicans expected
to lose the big labor center of Great Falls
by 1000. They surprised themselves by
carrying this labor stronghold, in state
that has been strongly represented in the
House of Representatives by the Demo-
cratic party since the elections of 1882.
DOLTTICAL students report that-tAef
Il is increasing resentment in Montana
against regimentation in Washington.
This was a big issue in 1914, and it
would have defeated Roosevelt but for
the fact that a Republican detection of
from 10 to Is per cent on the war issue
alone saved him.
There is much concern in Montana
and elsewhere-over the revelation of
Russian policy and the rising tide of COM
munism and totalitarianism in Europe.
The Montana election reflects a drawing
back from that influence.
The Republican candidate proited
from the unpopularity in the great cattle
state of Montana of the extension Of the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, spon-
sored nationally by the Democratic party.
This was an important factor The Sem
ate, about to consider this proposal, will
take note. ..
The Montana victory for the Republ-
cans appears to have been due to issues
both national and local, cutting across
long established party alignments.
Several more similar off-year elections
will be required before the existence Of a
genuine trend" can be safely visualized.

ON JUNE IL the committee on post

chandise" and to impose discrim-
inatory and even prohibitive postal
rates on the delivery of books by
mail.
The pending bill, introduced by
Rep. Charles E. Mckenzie of Lou
isiana, and designated as H. R. 1885
would put the United States on
zone rate basis, and the rates would
be such as TO penalize heavily the
purchase of books in those sections
of the country that are farthest from
the great publishing centers, that
have the poorest access to Libraries
and bookshops, and that possess the
most limited public school facilities.

~ some of the worlds greatest in
