Discomfort

The newspapers IN Wash
ing and other eastern cities
are filled with reports from
the Middle West showing
discomfort with ne arly
everything that goes on in
Washington.
About the same thing can
be said about conditions in
the South. Nearly every sec
ton of the United States is
expressing its VIEWS and
opinions upon what will
happen in the Forthcoming
Fall elections, and how that
will affect conditionsl in
1913 when the Republican
and Democratic parties en-
gage in the great battle to
win the election. At the
present time most of the
speculation has been con-
cerned over the candidate
for President. Most particu-
larly, how will the farmers
vote; what will be the
strength of the labor unions;
how much influence will
small business develop; and
how will small business peo-
pie couple up with big in
dustry and institutions?
In Washington the Re-
publicans will tell you that
they are sure that they can
win control of the House of
Representatives in the COM
ing election. But at the
same time the Democrats in
sist that they are stronger
than ever in the South, and
that labor unions are with
them. Democrats insist they
are going to d eve Top
strength enough to put Tru-
man over for another term.
That's the way the things
look in Washington at a
time when we are heading
towards another Fourth OF
July-the day when every
body enjoys the noise of big
fire-eraekers.

REGARDLESS OF PRICE

A special dispatch in The
Citizen from Washington,
quoting the Department Of
Agriculture, showed that
Monroe county, in World
War III consumed more
meats, fats, oil and sugar
than in the first world war.
The most significant thing
regarding the report is that
there was no black market
in the first world wide con-
flict.
The statement brings to
mind at least one complaint
about an editorial that re-
Gently appeared in The
Citizen about the black
market. Gist of complaints
about that statement gave
rise to this question:
What are we going to
do-starve?"
The answer to that ques-
ton can be found in what
happened in World War |
when prices began to sky
rocket: the people went on
a buyers strike. As many
readers of The Citizen may
recall. the strike became so
effective that prices OF all
commodities tumbled, and
many of them established
record lows.
Buyers strikes not only
knock out black markets,
but also put an end to ex-
orbitant prices in open mar
kets. The strike works In
the manner as was described
in the previous editorial :
consumers refuse to buy at
black market prices; retail
ers, not being able to sell
at exorbitant. prices, stop
buying from wholesalers,
and the latter, naturally.
stop purchasing from pro-
ducers, that is, at inflated
prices.
Nobody starves. Indeed,
as regards meats, parti-
cularly beef, it proves bene-
fetal to any person, given
to eating much beef, to
change his diet.
The cause of black mar
ket is the readiness of con-
sumers to step up to a coun-
ten and pay whatever price
is asked for anything dis
regarding entirely the value
of the thing.

iEARTSTRiNGS PULLED
BY TOTS

With little fanfare and
publicity the American
Legion annually spends mill
lions of dollars in its nation
wide child welfare program.
Most of this money goes for
food, clothing and medical
care. More than 10000 vol
unteer workers carry on the
program, searching out chill
dren in need, sponsoring en-
lightened legislation to pro-
tect their rights, combat
ting delinquency, doing all
possible to give every child a
square deal in starting life.
There is an intensely hui
man interest. story in the
birth of this huge program
in which the American
Legion since 1926 has spent
some $4,000, 900 in aiding
underprivileged children.
1t all started back in the
days of the first AEF in
1917-18-19 when orphan
tots in France, Belgium and
England made friends with
American soldiers and sail
ors. They tugged with
mighty heartstrings as they
sat in soldier and sailor laps,
learning to pronounce AM
erican words, eat American
candy for which they paid
with baby hugs and baby
kisses. The doughboys of
World War | passed the hat
around on paydays to pro-
vide better food and cloth
ing for the Riddles, Then
companies, batteries and
regiments started adopting
orphans. The first Stars &
Stripes sponsored an orphan
fund which grew to millions
of francs,
Out of that love of Amer
lean soldiers and sailors for
these innocent victims of
war, grew the American
Legion's great child welfare
program. 1t has proved to
be one of the strongest ties
uniting h e veterans of
World War | with the vet
of World War II.
For history repeated it.
self. American soldier and
sailor hearts of World War
III opened again to the or
phans of war. American
units again adopted or
phans. The Stars & Stripes
again raised an orphan fund,
Today the veterans of
World War II, now in the
majority of the American
Legion's membership of
more than 100000, are
finding in its child welfare
program a common bond of
interest. : They too have
learned that heartstrings
pulled by tots have a mighty
tug; that when the great
Nazarene said, Suffer little
children to come unto me-"
He meant that their love
conquers all.

first all-steel automobiles, stream
lined railroad trains and stainless
steel airplanes, is dead at the age
of rs.

the Edward G. Budd Manufactur-
ing Co. in 1912 and four years later
the Budd Wheel Co. with head
quarters at Detroit. The two COM
