DEPENDABLE LAW

Key West housewives, in
reading grocery and meat
market prices given in
Citizen advertisements on
Thursday. could have said
cOnseientiously, IN o t so
high" about the costs of
meats. as compared with
the prices of three weeks
ago.
Those reductions were in
keeping with Associated
Press dispatches that have
been published in The Citi-
zen recently a bout the
downward trend in the cost
of meats. The stories were
based on announcements
made by the Department of
Agriculture.
The announcement Thurs
day by the department con-
corning dairy products and
sugar was heartening. 1t
said that dairy products
had reached their 1916
peak in volume and that
lower prices are likely to
follow. That tendency al
ready has manifested itself
i'm the prices of butter,
which went up to $1.10 a
pound. and now is available
at 80 cents or cheaper.
As for sugar, The Citizen
still feels that there is some
thing forced about it's sup
posed scarcity. With store
houses bullying with sugar in
many parts of the country,
there is no sound reason for
the present restrictions in
the use of sugar.
However, the department
said, beginnin gnext spring,
housewives will have their
quotas of sugar raised by
one-third and industries
that use sugar will be given
from 60 to 20 per cent more
of that commodity.
All of which indicates
that the law of supply and
demand is gradually coming
into effect in the United
States. 1t will not be long be-
fore that law is operating
smoothly, and all kinds OF
commodities will be avail
able at prices much less
than at present.

the Storvino

America is a land of plenty in a hungry world. Hardly anywhere
else is food 50 plentiful. In most other countries people must live on the
of subsistence raions, and in many parts face literal starvation.
Who can be so inhuman as not to heed the cries of these hungry
millions or'to give some share of his food to the starving?
American working people, who have known hunger, in the midst
of plenty, and seen at firsthand the dire effects of undernourishment
have always been the first and most generous in their response to hu-
manitarian appeals.
heartedy with every proposal for reducing food consumption and
avoiding waste to increase American relief shipments abroad.
But this is not enough.
America must realize that countless lives might have been saved
and endless misery aVerted, if ratOning and food controls had not been
nrematurey scrapped after the war, and if adequate plans had been
made in advance to relieve the approaching famine.
We cannot bring to life the dead or undo the misery that has been
suffered. But we can take decisive steps now to end this tragedy of too
little and too late.
That is why the CO is demanding the immediate resumption of
food rationing to make American food available to the starving of other
lands. Voluntary plans are not enough. They can be sabotaged by sell
fish hoarders and profieers. The burden should b" fairly shared by all
the American people.
Nor art food shipments enough for any more than temporary
relief.
Besides demanding ratiOning, the CLIO calls for unstinting support
to UNRRA for the rehabilitation of WardeVastated lands;and for
prompt extension of loans to III needy allies 81 they may buy the raw

Third Parry Talk

AS always happens, recent talk and action directed at the forna-
ton of a third party" is agtating Socialists.
There are some who assert that the Socialist Party is the third
party and that all that need and should be done is to get people who
no longer believe in the free private-profit economy to join the So
ciaGst ranks. Those Socialists are called "unreaistic" by other Social
lists who believe that a greater opportunity for Socialist agitation and
action is possible within another organization.
Assuming that, with r without a party, Socialists will continue
to be Socialists and persist in advocating a sociaized economy wher-
ever they find themselves, the discussion on a third party narroWs
down to whether o not Socialists, a such should seek to function
within a party of their own and under a program which goes whole
hog for a cooperative commonwealth.
We an arrow the matter to an even sharper line, of course. We
can ask whether there really is a Socialist political party If w ask
that question in Reading, New York and Bridgeport the answer can
be a more-or-less cheerful yes" But the fact remains that the answer
must be mo" if the existence of a Socialist political party is questioned
in a goodly number of states
So there again is a question. What is a political party? A number
CT definitions are possible. One is that a political party S an instrument
whereby citizens of a political democracy can achieve their ends.
Advocates of a third party will argue that a party other than the
Socialist Party can be used as that instrument Opponents will contend
that the ends sought by another party will cease to be Socialist in
character. Both disputants, however, will assert their intention OF
remaining Socialists and working for Socialism no matter where
they are.
However, the test of any tool is whether it works or not That is
the test that is now applied to those Socialists who want TO keep the
Socialist Party as a instrument Of action. If there IS a Socialist party
Socialists should use it. If there is none and Socialists want one they
should build it. And if there is no Socialist party and Socialists either
won't II can't build one, then the choice is either to function within
another party or within no party at all.
Is it possible for Socialists to make their light shine within a
political party which is less than Socialist? Frankly, w e think so:
equally as easy as to make an imprint upon a society that is capitalist
in character and in viewpont-Reading Labor Advocate.

A LAW YOUR "LEADER" SIGNED

Every now and then it falls to the lot OF a labor editor to head up
and publish a story which reveals how we'll corporations are protected
by the tax-refund law. Thus it is that we come to know that the Gen
cral Motors corporation really didn't lose money while it was fighting

es did have to exhaust their meager savings and look for help from

tons for the relief of strikers hungry families.
1t is a good thing for workers to be aWare of what the law does
against them and for their employers. But it is not a good thing for
workers % do nothing more than grippe about such a manifest mequity.
The greatest profit that can be gained by workers in this case is
by frankly admitting that they are responsible for the law that favors
the private profit corporations.
The workers made a mistake when they event along with Frank
lin D. Roosevelts program for saving the private profit economy. They
made mistake after mistake when they pretended to believe that every
hing that was done by the. Roosevelt administration was the work of
reacHonary" congressman, while everything that the President did

Rough Justice in Belgrade

that the commissions special in
vestigator had unearthed evidence
that Andric had sold goods on the
blackmarket.
while other young fellows
were going to the woods with the
Partisans," the court president
said, ''he was living in luxury.
The issue now is to strip him of
the luxury and by filming him
500, 900 dinar we have done that.
Our idea is to take from the few
for the many.
All these conflscated funds go
INTO a reconstruction fund"
1t was not, apparently, SO impor-
tant to prove just how the man
secured his means. He had them
and they had been acquired during
the war. Therefore, he was guilty
IF profiteering.
The whole philosophy of the
PartlSanS was manifest in these
trials. The PartiSans had had given
their all-they had had sacrificed
everything and had no opportu-
nifty to accumulate wealth. Now
they intend to see that no firm or
individual retains one cent of
profit made during the period of
the war and the occupation.
This one court or commission
has already tried 1870 cases result
ing in 40 convictions. It has an
other $50 cases in its docket for
trial. This commission is one of
seven in Belgrade. Similar tri-
bunals sit in every sizable COM
munity in the land.
In effect, the War Profits Com
mission is part of the great
levelling process bound up in the
class struggle which the Partisans
have been Waging. People of
wealth and property are suspects
and must prove that the wealth
they have accumulated was legiti-
mately obtained.

sofia Conference
BY MILKO YANEFF

SOFIA, Bulgaria (ONA) The
Bulgarian people await the draft
ing Of a peace treaty with the
Allies, an agreement that the Big
Four will attempt to draw up at
their meeting opening in Paris,
with calmness and confidence"
Foreign Minister George Kulichev
told this correspondent today.
The Bulgarian Government, he
continued, had prepared a memo
landum for the foreign ministers
of the Big Four, expressing our
attitude, which is clear, and ex-
presses the hopes of a brave and
honest nation in which a demo-
cratic and peaceful spirit prevails.
Our cause is just, and is easily de-
Tended by any impartial court of
justice"
The foreign minister said that
the will of the country to re-
establish cordial relations with the
western democracies was unmis-
taxable, while at the same time
the people wished to maintain
"brotherly relations" with the
Soviet Union. bulgaria is the
only Balkan nation which has not
been recognized by the United
States and Britain on grounds that
the present regime is not suffi-
GENTLY broad in political base.)
The recent visit here of John
David Mack, British Labor Party
member of Parliament, gave thou
sands Of Bulgarians an opportu-
nifty to express their pro-British
and pro-American feelings. His
tour through Bulgaria turned into
something apprOximating a ma
tional holiday. At Stara, Zagora,
Plovdid, Bourgas, Varna, Sofia and
smaller places, the entire popula-
ton turned out to pledge lasting
friendship with Britain, and also
cheering every mention of the
United States.
Mr.. Mack told the crowds that
Bulgaria has been the pawn of
treacherous politicians and schem-
ing kings, and has suffered great
hardships. The peace-loving folks
of a small Slav nation stretches
her hands to Britain and America
in the hope that she may no longer
be an outcast among the peoples
of the world, but may play a use
full and honorable role in building
a new and democratic world"
Bulgaria will send a special mis-
sion to Paris during the confer
ences there by the Big Four in
the belief that it is to the best
interests of the Balkans that Bull
garia be given an opportunity to
explain her position. That is the
view of Foreign Minister Kulichev.
