All Blame the Government.
Wonderful crops this year, mar
ket for anything he can raise and
inflated prices, but the farmer isn't
happy. He thinks the controls should
be off, so he could make even more.
Jobs for everybody at good wages,
but labor isn't happy. Labor thinks
price controls should be restored and
wage controls dropped. That's on
account of the very high cost OF
living. Business is booming for
everybody with something to sell
and prices are more than satisfac-
tory. but businessmen aren't happy.
They join in the demand for the
removal of all controls.
Farmer, labor and business, they
blame one another to some extent.
They all blame the Government to
the fullest extent. None blames
himself.
There is the matter of meat
Everybody complains of the meat
shortage-even confirmed vegetar-
lars, as we'll as those who have
eaten more meat during the past
few years than ever before in their
lives. Lost in the three-cornered
argument between the packers, the
cattlemen and the OPA, feeling sure
the shortage could have been pre-
vented somehow, although without
the slightest idea how, the unhappy
would-be consumers just naturally
blame the Government.
The Republicans are riding the
crest of this blind resentment. They
scofd the Truman administration
for alleged indifference to the peo-
pies alleged wrongs. Representative
Charles A. Halleck, a Hoosier, chair
man Of the Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee, hasn't had
such good time since his fathers
barn burned down. The admins
tratioll, he tells the home folks, has
no answer for the desperate situa-
tion except, Let them eat horse
meat"
LET EN- Eat Horsemeat."
That delights his neighbors. Heb,
heh! He's card, that Charlie" /"
they say. "Let 'em eat horsemeat!'
He's always getting off something
good on the Democrats!" They laugh
and shake their well-filled insides.
The honest but angry farmer, who
says, Sure, we're clearing up, but
amt we got a right to?" gets a
different reception. He's considered
a queer one-not for cleaning up,
but for talking so frankly about it,
Why admit thing like that when
you can blame the. Government?
The housing situation is bad in
the cities and towns, but you don't
blame your friends, the manufac-
turers, the builders, the real estate
men. You blame the Government

Inside the door of the drawing

high Irish officials led by Prime

drawn by four bay horses with
white plumes on their heads, rep
resenting innocence and grace. The

carved wood and heavily orna-

nearly so years as the burial car

Twelve clerical pail bearers
formed around the carriage with
the military pail bearers outside
them.
The Hussars cantered across the
courtyard and took their place at
the head of the procession. Presi-
dent O'Kelly and De Valera drew
to attention as the guards drew
their swords and saluted as they
passed the burial carriage.
The procession started to move
and the infantry fell in behind the
