MOTHERS DAY, Sunday, May IL, IS
time when people can we'll ask themselves IL
they fully realize all the devotion Whlch thelr
mother has given them. Women IN our coun-
try probably do more than is done anywhere
else to watch over children, to give them the
things they need and which they desire.
In the early youth of children an enOr-
NOUS amount of attention is given 10 the
care of these little ones. Mothers stay at
home when they would like to be gong some
where and doing interesting things, In order
that thev NAV care for the youngsters, pro-
vide for their needs, and keep them safe from
danger.
The desire to give this care leads count
less women to live very limited lives during
the early youth of their children. They give
up pleasures in which they would like to par
ticpate, in order to give this close attention
to the needs of the little ones.
AS the children grow up into their teens,
the women are very keen to watch out Tor
their needs, and to provide them with the
things they desire. Mothers often deny them
selves new clothes, trips they would like, and
pleasures they wish to enjoy, so that their
daughters can be provided with nice gar
ments, and so that the boys can have the
Measures they want or the education they
need.
Children sometimes feel rebelliOus at the
restrictions imposed on them by parents, and
fail to realize that these limitations were the
result of desire to have the children devel-
Oh in the best way. AS the children grow
older they usually realize that these restrict

NO ONE CAN PREDICT with certainty
what may happen to prices if and when con-
trolls are removed. But those who believe in
the free market and the productive capacity
Of industry under competitive conditions, do
not fear the outcome. A few instances of
"decOntrOP are appearing to affirm their con-
fidence. Price controls have been removed
from musical Instruments. Prices have gone
up on some instruments and may go down
on others. A press release states that "a
small piano maker-to give the reverse side
of the picture of uncontrolled priceS-faces
the very real possibility that he will have to
cut his prices. These were raised 62.4Tl by
OPA permission when the price agency was
calling the price tune in the musical lnStru-
ment industry. Now he's above the prices
that many of his competitors, with a free
hand to establish their schedules, have set.
1t has been inferred that manufacturers
and distributors would race each other to
charge all the traffic would bear the moment
controls were released. That Inference is
based on an absOete notion of production and
distribution. Modern retail distributors, par
ticulary mass distributors, are like modern
large-scale manufacturers. Their goal is high
volume To achieve high volume they must
hold prices to levels that encourage people to
buy. The producer or distributor who steps
out of the competitive price line is mmedi-
ately at a disadvantage. Every similar enter
prise within range of his activities redoubles
its efforts to please customers.
Even in these days of shortages, the dis
tribution industry is assuming that shorp
competition and consumer good will are to be
the governing factors in tOmorroW's free
market. If it did not feel justified in assum-
ing this, disntegratiOn Of consumer service
would have set in long ago. 1t is Il human
instinct to cease struggling forward on merit
when merit is no longer recognized
THE TENDENCY of many people to sup
port price control because they fear being
branded promoters of initiation, must stop
The issue of price control is SO much larger
than imitation that initiation becomes irTele
want by comparison. Arguing for or agains
removal of price control wholly on premises
of production and balanced supply and de
mand, can go on forever. OPA represents
not a crusade against initiation, but form 0
government; a form of government that mus
resort to the most ruthless tactics to Surviv
because it is fundamentally MUST, and jus
