CONGRESS is NOT SERVING BEST
INTERESTS OF OUR NATION

TWO significant developments indicate another
big jump in living costs next year. One is the
removal of present government subsidies by the
Department of Agriculture on fOOdStuffS like but
ter bread, milk canned vegetables, lard anc
shortcomings The other is the removal of rationine
restrictions by the OPA on all meats, fats anC
oils, without definitely knowing whether there
will be sufficient quantity to supply the home
market and enough left to prevent famine-stricker
Europe from becoming vast charnal house.
1t is conservatively estimated that the re-
moval of subsidies alone will cause living costs tc
Jump at least 10 per cent. Even the Bible of bust
ness, the Wall Street Journal, in news story on
the subsidy removals, observed: "It will bring the
overall cost of food to the highest point since 1920
when soaring food prices brought nationwide pa
fades and protests against the high cost of liv-
ing
Nevertheless, the "take-home pay of work
ers is down anywhere from 25 to SO percent of
what it was before VI Day when living costs,
even then, were lower than they are at present.
From all over the nation come reports of rude
ly dsillusoned ex-service men and women who
can't find decent housing; who learn there is an
acute shortage of civilian wearing apparel because
the mills and the manufacturers won't release>the
goods holding on to them for various reasons such
as to reap the benefit of tax reduction after the
first of the year. to force the OPA to grant higher
price ceilings, or to make labor sweat it out In en-
forced dleness so as to be softened up and forced
TO take lower paying jobs because OF necessity
the high wage rates were a myth, that living costs
continue to soar, while everywhere they look for
jobs they are offered appalling low wages: In des-
peration, some of them are reenlsting in the Arm
ed Services as better deal.
Now don't blame these rank conditions upon
President Truman or the OPA. Like the sign in
the saloons of the Wild West era which read ::
Don't shoot the piano player he's doing the
best he can," the President and the OPA are try
ing to get harmony out of a discordant piano
called Congress. The record will show that both
have prevented much Of this stimulated initiation
and unemployment.
Blame it on reactionary majority in Con-
gress, which, come hell high water and the in
evtable depression due to dearth of mass cOnsum-
ing power is determined to serve plutocratic priv
ilege at the expense of the overwhelming majority
of the under-privileged plain folks.
What is the matter with Congress? Frankly
we don't know But we do know it is not legislat-
ing the way, it's master, the people, want it to
legislate And in this hour of grave crisis, it is
the difficulties OF a nation that is
seeking to achieve constructive reconversion.
Congress, at this time is definitely not serv-
ing the best interests Of the nation.

DAMN HIM AND HE LOVES 1T

Gan Editorial From the Washington Daily News)
GEN (The MANI BILBO just loves it.
- He addressed a letter to an Italian woman
in New York as Dear Dago." He referred to some
Catholic priests as rotten some Jews as kikes,
called the FEPC "crackpot Legislation" and warned
them against supporting it, and as result
Public officials, citizens committees, con
gressmen and decent Southern papers like the
Richmond Times-Dspatch, New Orleans Item,
Chattanooga Times, Macon News, have denounced
him as hate monger" and utterly devoid OF
common courtesy and ignorant OF the principles OF
decency, democracy and Christianity"
Certainly, no one can quarrel with these senti-
ments except the grounds of pulling understate-
ment; but make no mstake--Bilbo loves it.
We remember jim Ham Lewis remark which
went something like this: Gentlemen, Gentlemen
call me any kind of a so-and-so you wish: but
don't ignore me-"
Bibo is gleeful because he figures every de-
nlnciaton is worth thousand votes. He insults
the people of his own state by proceeding on the
theory that there are more ignorant Mississippi
voters who can be hag-ridden and dragooned by
his appeals to hate and fear, than there are en-
lightened citizens.
However, there is no course but to continue
To peg him for what he is.
Hitlers notion was that lie, if told often
enough, is believed. But certainly the truth is no
weaker than a lie. Tell if often enough and the
truth will prevail in Mississippi as elsewhere.

MOTHERS OF GREAT MEN

WE RATHER liked the quite way in which Presi-
dent Truman slipped out of Washington early
Sunday morning to fly to Grandview, Mo-, and
spend couple of hours with his mother on her
93rd birthday. We believe that Mr.. Truman was
right in not notifying the press since it was a
strictly personal and private matter.
Most of the worlds truly great men have
demonstrated profound affection all their lives
for those splendid mothers who contributed so
much to forming their character The late Presi-
dent Franklin d. Roosevelt was most devoted to
his late mother Sarah Delano Roosevelt. And the
greatest of American Chief Executives, Abraham
Lincoln, in an emotional tribute to his mother,
Nancy Lincoln, said, all that | am owe to my
angel mother"
