Whuf Do You
Believe?
By RUTH TAYLOR

1T isn't important what we be-
lleVe, but how we express those
beliefs that matters" 1T isn't sc
much what we do, but what we
are" Those are two copy book
sayings that have been repeated
and repeated in various forms. Ano
they have been twisted and turned
to apply to almost every situa-
ton.
Personally l feel they are wrong
1t does matter what we believe as
much IS it does how we express
those beliefs. 1t matters as much
what we do as what we are. But
what is most important of all is
the motive power back of both
thoughts and actions.
What doesn't matter is not what
happens to us-but whether what
we do is important to be done. We
may be personally defeated, but
our principles never, a great think
er once said. The truly important
thing in this world is not so much
where we stand as in what direc-
ton we r moving.
Where we go Wrong-in our own
lives, in our national lives, in our
everyday responsibilities is in not
truelng our actions to a high
enough motive. We act on expedi-
ence, not on principle. We com
promise-not with things, but with
our own beliefs, with our own con
science. We dodge responsibility
we evade issues. and the truth
eludes us, because of our own
weaknesses.
Here's an example. We say that
n Of the great principles in
American life is the denial of abso-
lutte sovereignty. Is it? Or, rather
is it put into effect? Just try de-
nying the absolute sovereignty in
'efficient" organizations and sec
how far you get. Did you ever try
not going along with the boys?'
What we should have said was
that this is a motive power-and
then try to put it into practice.
All life proceeds from beliefs OF
some kind. The question is not
shall we have beliefs? But-what
beliefs have we? Are they a vital
part of u every day life? Are we
better for our beliefs? Do they
help us to help those whose paths
our path crosses? Unless we car
answer in the affirmative our be-
liefS are vain.
What do you believe-and how
do you live up to your beliefs?

"Adamic said in an interview

"Adamic said Yugoslavia's in

consequent failure to sell the Unit

greatly to the crisis.

Another Mad Farmland Boom Is Here

An economic danger signal was flashed recently in a Department
of Agriculture report
Since the 1905, the report said, the average price of farm lat
has risen IT per cent.
Also, more and more farms re being sold, and they are changing
hands rapidly after short periods Of ownership"
In other words, speculation in farm lands is running wild again
as it did during and after the First World War.
That land boom put a crushing mortgage burden O millions Of
working farmers, kept them impoverished through the 192Os, and was
a main cause of the general economic crash of 1929.
Will the same thing happen this tme?-Labor.

Council a IS 1t reported a 4 per cent increase in grade crossings fatalitp
during l945. Last year, 2,074 persons met death at grade crossings
while 4,275 were injured.
Contrary to general belief, there were more daylight accident
IMAM at nighttime with Sc per cent occurring before darkness set in
Only 285 of the fatalities were pedestrians and so other people such a

The Council revealed that more than onethird of the accident
occurred at crossings, which were protected by gates, lights, bells

80 miles per hour, or standing still.
The great majority, 81 per cent, of daytime grade crossing accdent
were classified IS locomotive hit cars" while SIS per cent of the nigh

Makes What!

Want to know who made all the money in America during the lush
years of War-and particularly during 1945?
1t wasn't the little fry, nor the worker in the country. Not by
long shot.
The Federal Reserve Board says recently that At per cent of the
workers of America earned less than $4,000, or only $685. a week
while less than 38 per cent of workers in America earned as much as
SIT a week, and these days it takes about SIT a week to keep a worku
and his family.
Just about three per cent of American families had income Of

Of Sullen clouds push down.
Beneath the tempest's heavy froWn
The rabbits run to earth. Small bands
Of apes hold closer, keeping warm.

Old warriors hide in huts of sod
And tremble, for they fear the god.

The terror some gray cloud may rain

To drive men underground like elves.
They worry, for they fear themselves.

Grace Moore Bock in US.

New York. June 7-tUPp-Grace Moore. Metropolitan Opera Com pany soprano. said today on re- turning from a European concert tour that American military units In some parts of Europe do not have the standing in the eyes of the populace that they should have.

 Miss Moore sang in Italy. France Austria. and Czechoslovakia. Sht plans to cancel all other engage ments for the next seven months to return to Europe. beginning July i5. for concerts in Switzerland. Italy. France. and Czechoslovakia.
 T found European audiences most appreeiative," she said.

Higher MLk Prices
 By DREW PEARSON

Chester Bowles warning that the price Of dairy products will rise higher than ever is a gross undsrstatement-that is if the Senate Banking and Currency Committee has its way.
 Dairy and poultry farmers haven't been told abou; 1t yet, but when they joined with the cat- tiemen to lobby for the removal of price controls. they were acc tually cutting of their own feed supplies. This is sure to send the price of milk even higher. For with no price ceilings on cattle. cattle growers in the Midwest and Southwest will simply keep their grain at home to feed their cat. tie. and shipments Of feed grain to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts will be little more than a trickle. This will be a terrific headache for dairy poultry farmers next winter.
 NOTE: lt was significant that Senator Mcfarland of the cattle state of Arizona pressed the amendment fer aboilshing price contrel Of meat, dairy, and poul. try products.
