1--WE know that all things work
together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called
according to His purpose" Romans
1928.
When one travels between Jack
son and Vicksburg he travels up and
down hills, through woods and
across fields. His vision of where he
has been and where he is going is
limited by the horizon which closes
in and opens up according to ones
location on top of hill or in val
ley. At best, one sees only small
section of the country through which
he is travelling.
Flying over this section our
horizon was vastly extended. Hills
which seemed SO large on the ground
became only a roll in a vast map
stretched out below. Fields and
woods bebcame small patches on a
vast quilt. Rivers and roads were
seen rolling across country.
Likewise, as we journey through
LAG OltSll we 1lliQ OulSc1VCo al uo4 n
valleys or struggling up steep hills.
Occasionally we reach height and
glimpse some of the way through
which we have been travelling.
More often, however, we wonder
where we are really going and
whether we are getting anywhere
because our vision is SO limited. If
we could but rise above our diff
cult way, we would see how we are
being led through trials and temp
tations to better land. We would
be able to say with the poet, God
moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform" We need the
vision that faith in an almighty God
can give. We need to realize that
although we cannot see the end of
our way, God knows it and in love
and mercy is patiently leading us
along the way that leads to the
heavenly city through our Savious
Jesus Christ. May ours be the faith
that is confident that God does work
all things together for good

So the argument goes to Snyder, and which way does he decideT Right! The subsidies are coming off.
 The price of steel is going up, some rumOrs are about two times as much as OPA said was enough. That will mean price increases in hundreds, perhaps in thousands of items. Even food may be affected because of the way the parity for mula works. Who's doing it? Snyder.
 The price of meat may go up as part of the settlement of the packing house strike, even though the unions opposed it. Why? Snyder says so.
 Snyder vs. Wyatt and Housing
 Then there's housing. A man named Wilson Wyatt was appointed to get the housing mess strengthened out and get some housing built. Everybody agrees that the mess is as bad as 1t is because the war controls were taken off so soon. Wyatt wants to put some of those controls back on. He wants to keep tight control on the prices of building materials, and he wants to put ceilings on the prices of homes.
 Wyatt is for pushing prefabri- cated housing and for helping people finance the homes they buy. According to some reports, he wants to build a million housing units this year, when practically everybody else has been talking about building half a million.
 Wyatt's program is pretty much the program that labor has been pushing for. But not Mir. Snyder. He's against priorities on mate rials; he's opposed to price con- trOls on houses; he's in favor of

 THE BLACK market in meat is worse than ever before. And, ac- cording to OPA officials, it will get much worse as the result of new set-aside order under which 3O% of the slaughter of the better grades of beef will go to the War Dept. Since rationing was dropped, hotels and restaurants are getting a disprOportionate share of the bet ter grades of meat. Reason for this

The Presidents Chaperone Needs Watching
By Ben Dor
LPA CoIumnist

Harry Truman has a chaperone. You remember chaperOnes don't you? They were the ones who went along with the young people to keep them from getting mixed up with the wrong kind of company. They went out of style sometime ago as far as most people are con- cerned, but the President still has one.
 The chaperOne's name is John Snyder. His official title is 'Direc- tor of War Mobilization and Re- conversion" UnofficialIy, he's called the ''assistant president, 5 and he has offices up at the White House along with the Boss Man himself. And on most matters hav- ing to do with the home front. the heads of the government agencies deal with Truman through Snyder if they get to see the President at all.
 That makes John Snyder a pretty important man. He's so important that we ought to take a close look at him to see the kind of man he is, and the kind of reconverting that this country IS getting under his direction.
 Snyder Snafus Price Control
 Let's look first at price control.
 Chester Bowles, head of the OPA, is working to keep prices down. He keeps telling Congress and the people that prices have to
The union times., 1946-02-16

be kept down or we're in for a terrific postwar imitation. That's what the labor people in Washing ton say, too. He says that the manufacturers who are sitting down instead of producing should be told by the government to get busy, or else!
 But John Small, head of the Civilian Production Administration thinks that prices ought to be allowed to go up "a little." He thinks that the manu- lecturers who want price increases should get them, so that they'd be more willing to produce the things we're all waiting to buy in the stores.
 More ''FIexible''
 Now whose side. of the argument is Snyder on? Snyder wants lot of cell ings raised so industry and business will be more willing to produce and sell. During the war, price control was okay he says. But now the time has come to be little more flexible" and let prices go up if that's the way business wants it.
 BOwles is in an argument with Agriculture Secretary Anderson, too. Anderson says, take off sub- sidies now, raise food prices now. Pile it all on the consumer now. while he's still ''prosperous'' and can pay the bill. BOwles says that's not holding the price line, and the price line has to be held.

 ANTI-LABOR lies blossom in Congress as easily as they do in full-page advertisements paid for by General Motors. Rep. Clare Hoffman (R., Mich.), who has manufactured a Congressional ca reer out of nothing more than be- ing frightened of unions, told the House of Representatives that United Auto Workers Vice-presi- dent Walter Reuther and other labor leaders s'are all drawing their salaries right along while the boys on the picket line are not getting nickel.'
 The truth, which Hoffman wasn't interested in telling his colleagues, was that not only Walter Reuther but also his NAW-CM staff have been turning over their salaries to the CM strike fund from the be- ginning. Nor was Hoffman inter- ested in giving Congress such per- tinent information as the fact that CM President Wilson is paid more in single week than Walter Reu- they receives in a full year.

possibility that the a time big
three-Franklin d. Roosevelt, VIM

for permanent possession of the stra-
tcgic kurilc Islands and SakhaIin,
