TINS
You can feed hen enough
grain. Beyond that the hen will
eat all the grain you toss her-but
she won't lay any more eggs. AS
matter of fact. chicken ranchers
tell me that if you feed a hen too
much she gets fat and lazy and
won't lay as much.
You know, the Federal Govern
ment is sort OF like Il hen. For a
long time now we've been throw
ing into that federal feed hopper
an awful lot OF grain that you
folks have had to buy with your
taxes and War Bonds
Lately. we've been hearing talk
about balancing the budget" Some
OF my colleagues took this talk ser
iously when the Independent Offices
Appropriation Bill for l947 came I'D
i'll the House last month Those
are just fancy words for the funds
you taxpayers put up to run 22
federal agencies
Now. some Of us in Congress
thought that, what with the war
over, the government is in Il posi-
tion to cut down on the federal
flock. You know that during the
war Uncle Sam took on more than
two million more employees. and
we figured ten per cent cut in the
salary funds for those % agencies
(eXCepting, OF course. the Veterans
Administration wouldn't be out OF
line. If they're going to cut down
the flock. there's no sense in throw
ing them the same amount of mon
ey and ii amt exactly chicken
feed. at that. That would make EN-
fat and lazy.
But you know what happened
The others voted us down, ia to
l45,
Maybe you folks should elect a
few chicken ranches To Congress

FARM REAL ESTATE

A continued rise in farm land
values, and a moderate decline in
sales, took place in the farm real
estate market during the past year.
according to report from the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The report shows that the
average per acre values for the
country as a whole on March /.
l945 was II per cent greater than
Tor the same period a year before.
Ihe Volumne of sales began to de-
crease few months gao, indicat-
ing that many persons who left the
farm during the war period are re-
turning to their former homes.

IN A FREE COUNTRY such as the Uni
ted States has always been, commentators
and editorial writers, when contemplating
an important issue, get in the habit of saying
the people must choose For long time 1t
has been said in this country that the people
must choose between capitalism and social
ism, between government, ownership and
free enterpriSe-in short, between liberty
and dictatorship. The day will eventually
come when the editorial writers can no long
er refer the problem to the judgment of the
people-the choice will have been made.
Lewis II. Brown, chairman of the Tax
Foundation, makes some telling observations
that indicate the day of free choice for the
people is coming to an end. "TOday,' said
Mr.. Brown, "ndustry is beginning to real
ize that it's greatest competition for the cltl-
zens dollar is government. There isn't such
a thing as big business today. Bigness is
relative. And the biggest thing in this coun-
try today is government. 1t is the biggest
trust that has ever been put together. 1t is
more powerful by thousand times than any
trust or combination of trusts against which
Theodore Roosevelt welded his big stick.
"The melting pot of taxation is is seeth-
ing and bubbling over with appropriations,
levies, debts, loans, subsidies dual evies, ex-
emptions determinations, contiscatiOn, and
unlimited powers and in it all there is the
kissing sound of imitation.
"When the people support the govern
ment an dthe government is subserient to
the people, then the American system is safe.
But when the government supports the peO
pie then the people will, of necessity, be sub
servent to the government, and represen-
tative government will periShn

VOLUBLE SPOKESMEN TOUR the
country telling farmers, manufacturers, bus
mess men and other groups that they have
got to pitch in and do better job of sO-and-
so. A favOrite subject is the cost of diStrlbu-
ton. On this the talking has continued for
years, as if distribution is great inanimate
machine with some sand in its gears. Re-
tailers have heard of about everything that
is wrong with distribution. They rarely hear
Of the progress the industry has made.
Distribution is the same as any industry.
1t does not progress at the direction of a
few experts. 1t is made up of millions of in
dividuals all trying to get along, all trying
to make profit to live. In the course OF their
efforts, they have found that success comes
service as a practical business undertaking,
they have steadily improved the distribution
system This was the way the chain stores
came into being. They were founded on a
desire to succeed by rendering a higher de-
gree of service While the experts and po-
litical crusaders wrangled over the faults of
distribution, the chains went ahead with ba-
sic improvements in distribution machinery.
Gradually these improvements became gen.
eral.
Today retail distribution is far ahead of
the widest dreams of the refOrmers of fifty
years ago. Fifty years from now it will be
far ahead of current crusaders and their con-
to serve with increasing efficiency.
Competition as a pacemaker of progress
is far superior to sporadic political meddling
A SINGLE LARGE SHIRT manufacture
er has 100000 shirts on hand; one big retail
store has none
This was the giSt of a recent newspaper
headline The story went on to tell how mil
lions of mems shirts lie idle in manufac-
turers' storeroOmS, while retailers shelves
are bare and civilian demand grows more
desperate every day. The manufacturers
want to sell these shirts, but tangle in the
price rules makes it impossible for them to
do so. One store official remarked, at is not
so much that prices are inadequate as that
the manufacturers can't find out what prices
they can charge"
An example Of what makes confusion, was
the following OPA revised" rule designed
to help manufacturers who piled up too many
hlgh-prlced items and couldn't sell them with
out violating regulations. This provision pro-
vided that the manufacturer might get his
average price back in line "by selling every
item in his line at or below his average price
until the Surcharge is made up
AS an alternative, he may make up his
surcharge on the installment basis. Under
this plan, the manufacturer will reduce his
M. A. p each month by a set percentage.
which is the percentage of his net surcharge
to his total net dollar volume of deliveries for
preceding. period. He keeps the average
price of his deliveries each month at this re-
duced maximum average price until his sur
charge is worked off"
If you can figure this out you get a shirt
if you can explain it to the shirt manufac-
turers.

Science
Music Of the Spheres

Early this month the first man-made
contact with the moon was achieved
by the Army Signal Corps which
beamed radar signal to it, caught its
echo "a seconds later.
In Sydney, Australia, government
radio physicists using radar claimed
they had recorded sound waves gen.
Grated on the sun, 100000 miles
away. Unlike the Americans who sent
a signal and heard an echo, Australians
recorded a noise on the sun itself.
Mans success in establishing radar
contact was heralded by scientists as
an opening step toward solving the
age-old question of whether life exists
elsewhere than on the earth.
Said Maj. Gen. Harold McClelland,
Army Air Forces, air communications
officer: IF sufficient power could be
generated to get signals out through
millions of miles Of space to reach the
planets, intelligence could be simply
transmitted.
"And if intelligent human life exists
beyond the earth such signals could be
answered. We might even find that
other planets had developed tech
niques superior to our own"

Experiment to Watch


The world sjcolonies with their $780,
100000 subject peoples, observes John
Foster Dulles, American delegate to
the UNO Ttusteeship Committee, pre-
sent problems which could cause the
next war;
On July 4, just five months away,
America will close great experiment
by granting full and complete indie
pendesce to the Philippines. That
coming event long has been beacon
to peoples struggling towards self
government.
The Filipinos will have help in
running their own show. Even now,
future Philippine foreign ministers,
ambassadors and administrators are
training in Washington and later are
scheduled to serve in American dip
lomatic missions.
America will continue friendly
economic policy towards the islands.
The present Philippine sugar quota, for
instance, will be kept at $4,000 long
tons even though there is none avail
able this season, thanks to the Japa-
nese.
Rehabilitation Funds
The u. S. Senate has approved a
$450,000,000 Philippine rehabilitation
loan and the bill is now before the
House. The Philippines also seek
$100,000000 grant from UNRRA
Omitted Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administration. The House
Insular Affairs Committee has pro-
posed that the islands be granted
eight years of free trade, after which
duties would be imposed gradually.
Four years of bitter war and its
aftermath have imposed terrific OBJ
stacles on the Philir pines. Stripped by
japanese occupation, the islands
economy is unbalanced and unproduc-
tive. 1t will need millions of dollars
to rebuild, repair and retool. Another
key problem is the strife between
recognized authority and the armed
one-time guerrillas, who now demand
reform, particularly redistribution OF
agricultural lands.
Opponents of independence have
maintained for years that chaos will
result when the American flag comes
down. A year from now the answer
will begin to emerge. More than 3O0,-

THE most important individual
i post in the United Nations
Organization is that of Secretary
General. In addition to demand
ing executive, administrative and
diplomatic capabilities of the
highest order, the post carries with it
the power to call to the attention Of the
Security Council any situation in the
world that threatens peace and Sc
curity.
After a deadlock of two weeks, the
Big Five powers agreed unanimously
this week on Trygve Lie, so, Norway's
foreign minister. Lie pronounced
Lee) was then formally nominated by
the 11-member Security Council. His
election by the General Assembly is
considered formality.
Lie, a lawyer-diplomat, was COM
promise choice. The Soviet Union for
merly supported eithe Stanoje
Simitch, Yugoslav ambassador to the
United States, or Wincenty Rzy-
mowski, Polish foreign minister. The
U. S. and Britain proposed Lester Pear
son, Canadian ambassador to Wash
ington.
The Russians objected to Pearson
primarily because he was North
American and the permanent home of
the UNO was to be in the us. Lie was
suggested as compromise by Edward
R. Stettinius, Jr, and accepted with
alacrity by the Soviets.
There was concerted drive by del
egates to wind up organizational bust
ness of the first General Assembly
session this coming week. The SUBJ
committee inspecting sites in the us.
for a permanent home for the world
peace organization turned in its re-
port.
In addition to the designation of Lie
for the $20,000-a-year post as Secre-
tary-General, the delegates during the
past week listed these significant ac-
complishments:
Election of Paul Henri Spaak of
Belgium as president of the Assembly.
The Security Council ordered chiefs
of staff of the Big Five to begin mo-
bilizing a world peace army.
