power Of the people that the average
consumer would gladly pay twice the
OPA prices to get a good piece of
beef. But he cannot find the beef
In his local market. Meanwhile beef
Is being sold freely in the country
areas at far above OPA prices. The
increased purchasing Of the people
is naturally reflected in much higher
prices for cattle which are also sold
at far above the price levels which
OPA fixes as maximum for legiti-
mate packers. The result is that
the legitimate slaughterers are at
such disadvantage in the purchase
OF animals that they have no choice
but to keep their production well
below their capacity.
Lose in Slaughtering.
The Office of Price Administration
is also partly responsible for the
black market because of price sched-
ules which require both hogs and
cattle to be slaughtered at a loss.
The average loss on hog slaughter
today is between so cents and 81 per
hundredweight and probably closer
to ST.. The average loss on cattle
slaughter has been variously esti-
mated at from IS to $12 per head.
Representative Clinton P. Ander-
son of New Mexico, chairman of the
new House committee investigating
the food shortage, has in his pos
session letter from Austin, Tex,
stating that the city, in order to
provide meat for its people, went
into the slaughtering business. It
slaughtered 223 cattle and sold the
products at the best prices available
in the market and came out with
loss of $4,234, or an average loss Of
1921 per head. The Office of Price
Administration has admitted that
the slaughter of beef cattle, per Sc,
cannot be continued profltably under
the OPA price schedules because it
has authorized a special subsidy of
80 cents per hundredweight or about
SO per head for those slaughterers
who handle beef only and who do
not have processing or other opera
tons from which to make up their
beef losses. Meanwhile the process
sors who do have multiple opera
tons must try as best they can to
make up their losses on beef from
profits yielded by other operations.
AS was amply demonstrated dur
ing the era of prohibition, the black
market thrives on scarcity. When
the legitimate slaughtering chan
nels are discouraged by unfair price
schedules, and when about so per
cent of the pork and roughly the
same percentage of beef produced
under Federal inspection is taken by
the Government, the black market
is presented with a golden oppor-
tunity. We have on the one hand
an extremely limited supply of ami
mails for private consumers and on
the other hand, an unprecedented
purchasing power of the people
which is bidding for the limited
supply. Office of Price Administra-
ton is authority for the statement
that there is demand for ITO pounds

OF meat per capita but q supply Of
only lis pounds. A setup more con-
ducive to black market operations
could hardly be conceived.
The remedy is tworold:
l. The thousands of slaughtering
permits so promiscuously issued
should be revoked and reissued only
to legitimate operators, and
2. The price schedules should be
revamped so as to provide rea-
sonable profit margin for legitimate
slaughterers, as required by law.
Under new beef price regulations,
effective April /, 1945, the losses
from beef operations of processing
slaughterers were reduced by ap-
proximately S. per head but by no
means wiped out. The matter of
losses from the slaughter of hogs Is
now under diligent study by the Of
flee of Price Administration which
has promised to hog slaughterers
such additional subsidy as may be
required to convert their loss posi-
ton to profit position. If this can
be done, if the beef operations can
be made profitable, and if the black
market can be sufficiently discour-
aged, we shall have the problem
solved.
1t cannot, however, be solved mere
ly be penal attack on black mar
ket violators. Chester Bowles re-.
Gently sought approval of additional
appropriation of $685. 900 with which
to fight the black market. Dividing
this by the number of counties in
the United States, 3,o74, there would
be made available S18379 with which
to fight the black market in each
county. This is a mere pittance
which obviously would have no ma
terial effect.
An attorney would not do Justice

boldly against the unfairness and
lack Of craftsmanship in high places.
A fine, legitimate industry is being
partly ruined and partly converted
into a racket. Honest businessmen
are spending sleepless nights, won-
dering how long they can hold on.
One splendid firm in Ohio has lost
its entire veal business to the black
market, which sells veal at 80 to 80
cents against the OPA ceiling of 81
cents. Meanwhile the housewife
finds the counters empty, because
black market meat is not usually
sold across counters. And here in
Washington retail stores are clos
ing because the meat which
normally flowed through Ihe stores
now seeks more lucrative channels.
To tolerate such a condition injuries
not only the professors, retailers
and consumers, but it Injuries the
soul of America.

You Can't Stop Living

Reviewed by LUCY McCLENON.
The problem faced by most of the
characters in this book is not so
much one of stopping as of starting
to live. At the outset they all ap-
pear to be pleasant, urbane and
reasonably intelligent persons rat
ting around ridiculously in
vacuum of do-nothingness. The
story opens in the fall of 1941 and
follows through to the spring of
1914, by which time several of the
personnel manage to get started on
projects in which they are able to
submerge their psychoses in favor
of more constructive functioning.
With some of them, even the sue
cessful conclusion leaves you with
little uneasy feeling that the back
bone is liable to prove temporary;
but it's a good case anyhow, and the
author manages to entertain while
making her point.
