Failure Recognized

Why could a black market ex- ist? The public wanted meat bad ly enough to pay more for it than the ceiling price. I am not condon- ing black markets, but it needs to be said that this one was a general revolt against price controls on meat during peacetime, when the public knew the country had more livestock than usual. The failure of controls was dismal, and the en- tre population recognized it.
 Some folks, prompted by Com munistic thinking and desiring to destroy freedom of opportunity, blamed the failure on the packingx houses. People who know nothing of the facts may believe that ac- cuastion. The facts are that prices packers could legally pay did not bring livestock to market. Neither did few men in Congress cause the farmers to withhold hogs and cattle. It was not the "feebleness" of the law, but the law itself, that turned free market into a black market.

 may re-enact the plot aga'n with new characters at some future time but the result will surely be the same. A
 This we must know before more harm is done: A controlled econ omy is not compatible with Amer ican democracy. The real reason for meat control failure carries blame neither to men in Congress, nor to the packers, nor to the packing unions. The real reason for complete failure of meat cQn- trol lies in the fact that Americans have been brought up on a frSe market. They have found the greatest sort of freedom in this kind of economy. They desire no Substitutee for a free economy. Few Old Cows
 Prices the government allowed for hogs and cattle on foot were not high enough to induce farmers to sell their animals. Early in Oc- tober the New York Times sent a reporter into the heart of the Texas cattle country. Trailing buyers at Forth Worth for bos& major and independent packers, the Times reporter saw them bid OPA ceilings and come away with only flew old cows" out of 5,700 head of beeves listed that day. Choice animals were grabbed off by traders at prices in excess of ceilings" while 7,000,000 beef cat tie continued to roam the soutiN west Texas range.
 Like any man who successfully invests capital and puts hard work into an enterprise, the cattle rais- CT is well taught about markets But a controlled economy puzzles him first, muzZles him later. The farmer, like the manufacturer, has learned to watch markets: to buy and sell advantageously in an hon. est, competitive market. And iQ our land we have found that the consumer, who buys the food and manufactured goods at lower prices, is best protected by this same free market.

Dynamic Economy

Dynamic is the word for our American economy. It cannot be trammeled down at once point and bludgeoned at another, at the whim of some far-away control Ter. Neither can you expect it to bypass the bottlenecks of gov- ernment control, using the laws of honest economies with which it is familiar - without disastrous re- suits to the American way of life.
 If we want to keep a dynamic economy making possible a high average per capita income and a continuation of high wages. we must keep a free market and free economy. That is the way Ameri- ca became the greatest nation in

 The we-known fact about criticism is that it involves only talk But the voters made it clear that they want than talk, and they appointed Republicans to do it. In the new congress the chips will be down.
 There will be tempting distractions such as skeleton hunts into the dusty depths of the Democratic closet Through investigations aiming to uncover matters ot embarrassment to the administration the Republican congress may be expected to try to improve the party position for 1948 That will be politics and human ture.
 There have been suggestions, too, that members of the majority not anxious about advancing positive legislative program They said to feel that the present administration should be allowed to worry about the problems for which it is responsible This pol icy of Let Harry stew in his own juice likewise is aimed 1948 in the belief that further demonstration of Democratic incompetence will assure victory
 Fortunately there have been strong reassurances since the election that Republican leaders appreciate the mpossibilty of two years of pickering inactivity. For example the realization has formed that President Truman cannot be stripped utterly and immediately of
 his powers but rather that the transition must be made cautiously.
 Equally encouraging has been the hint that President Truman will announce program of cooperation in which, acording to friends, he will place the nations welfare above personal and party interest The Presi- dent read the election tea leaves correctly, judging from the alacrly With which the admlnlStraon moved toward abolishment of wage and price controls. The Democrats thus themselves making the first in the direction of what Republican leader calls get- ting the government out of the peoples hair"
 is easy to draw oversmple conclusions from these facts Certainly it is not going to be peaches and between the President and Congress- Republican moves toward labor regulation, economy and shrinking the present expansive bureaucracy bound to emphasize the basic differences in outlook between the two parties
 Yet moduS operandi has been indicated. If the Re- DIbllcanS the Democrats-remembering what the people said in the election-will lend degree of cooperation, the next two years be in the direction of progress in slowly.

Like all professional and home

sometimes deep grief. But a letter
like this one is like sunshine break

know that a much younger woman

them. is a heartening thing in this
