POTATO MEALINEss TEST

POTATO MEAIINESS TEST
Bags Of potatoes marked, "Guar-
anteed To Be Mealy," may reas-
sure housekeeping housewives in
the future; for Cornell University
experimenters have found it isn't
hard to pick out a mealy potato
once you know how.
All potatoes sink in water. So
the Cornell folks added common
salt to make the water 'heavier,"
and found that non-mealy potatoes
then floated. ....
Through six year period, the
Cornell scientists tested 10000
potatoes to determine the correct
amount of salt needed.
For practical use they recon-
mend two salt solutions, which
must be carefully mixed. Potatoes
that float in % ounces Of salt to
liz pints of water definitely will
not be mealy. Those that sink in
this solution, but float in 24x
ounces of salt in IL pints of water
will be slightly to medium mealy.
Those that sink will be mealy.

a Go Drive 10 the South

In May two hundred organizers, packed by a million dollars, the
determination of Philip Murray, and the unofficial sanction of the
Truman Administration, will set out to remake the South. The drive,
known in trade-uniOn circles as cooperation Dixie" will be, first, a
straight, cean-cute, pure, unadulterated campaign to organize" more
than q million Southerners in the textile, lumber, and chemical in
duStrcS, in agriculture, and in White-cOlar jobs. But Mr.. Murray, de-
scribIng the drive as almost a holy crusade" makes it clear that the
"by-prOducts" political and social, are very much in his mind and Of
the most far-reaching character. The men and women of the South"
he told a Detroit audience last week, must be free, and we must de-
liver to them their political and economic emancipation" The very fact
Of extensive unOnizaton, he believes, will spell the end of the poll tax
and ultimately of all forms of economic discrimination. The Admnitra-
ton appears, with good reason, to see in the spread of uniOnization the
only way Of shaking off the incubus Of the Rankns without at the same
tHne destroying the partys hold On the Solid South. Political eman-
cipaion for millions Of Negroes and poor whites, if achieved under the
aegis of the Administration would keep the South safely Democratic

be called-is not inevitable. The fight will be long, and fierce at the
outset, but let the c. l. 0. score a few notable victories and many a

Morals, Ethics and Profits

From time to time we are accused of becoming too technical
and, w e must admit, the criticism often has been deserved. We try to
use words that anybody will understand, but every now and then
some trte expression like economic determinism" will slip from or
typewriter.
The explanation of economic determinism is that people think and
act according to the manner in which they make their living. Some
times we say that 'the social is the reflex of the economc'-and
scarcely anybody understands us.
Well, here's al example of what we mean that should clarity what
we mean:
An Associated Press report dated March 20 tells u that "the
natives of Angola, West Africa, must dress decently and no longer
appear naked or wearing tree leaves and other such primitive
means to cover parts of their bodies in villages and towns"
This order, the article states, was announced by the Portuguese
ministry of Colonies.
No doubt some readers will think that the Portuguese authorities
are concerned about the morals, o perhaps the health of those primi-
tive peoples. But we have not yet quoted the last line of the AP story
Here it is:
THE textile industry is being developed in Angola"
Yep! That's an example of what w e mean when we say economic
determinisn" 1t means that the customs, ethics and morals Of the
people are determined by economic conditiOns-faVorable to the domi-
nant class, of course-Reading Labor Advocate.

criticism of the ~aggressions of

deal with Stain by a policy of
appeasement, which makes war

not restrain Stains imperialism
by underwriting British imperial

Like a gracious dream in a

From early mist the hour of

Now in the iron depths of the stir

Is raised the ghostly grail for
which men grope;
For this dawn which is beauty and
peace and pity
Brings to their waking hearts a

and rain,
The beautiful and far country OF
their laughter
Where Man comes on his hidden
