Most of them were organizing
motorcades. to drive their members
down to the City Hall SO that they
could register or notify the Board
of Election Commissioners of any
changes in their address or marital
status.
Shop stewards were making a
careful. person TO person check
in the plants to find out who

have TO register in order TO elect

pledged TO fight anti-labor in

Saturday until the Oct. deadline

that they. could not register un-

A SOUND DICTUM

The United States should paraphrase,
God helps those who help themselves
with. the United States helps those who
help themselves"
A few days ago The Citizen publish
ed an article about Belgium, the country
whose name has not been mentioned In
the news about the rebuilding or rehaeiii-
tation of western Europe by money al
vanced by this country.
WHY has Belgium been left out OF
that news? The answer may be found IN
that story in The Citizen-the Belgiums
are working hard. While the peoples of
France, Italy and some of the other coun-
tries in western Europe are beset with
strikes and communistic uprisings, the
Belgiums are working diligently to rebuild
their country and to supply food for its
consumption.
Everybody in Belgium has as much
to eat as he wants because everybody is
working hard Streets are repaired and
kept clean, houses are rebuilt and shabby
looking houses are reprinted, farms are
we'll kept and, as a result, produce abun-
dainty. Everywhere he turned, the writer
said, people were working, working,
working, with determination to put their
country back on SOUND economic basis.
But turn elsewhere, even to England,
and what do we find? England is expert
menting with naturalization policy that
has reduced the people to the lowest ebb
OF want in many year. Prominent
Englishmen are forever crying about more
"austerty' to save the country from
collapse. Meanwhile, laborers in every
sphere are crying for higher wages or sal
aries, and follow up the cry with frequent
strikes. And the government cries about
shortage of dollars and leaves intact three
to four billion dollars in securities it has
in the United States, while Uncle Sam digs
deeper into his pocket to help Great Bri-
tain and other western European countries
that are not helping themselves as Bel
GUM is doing.

The following editorial is reprinted
from the Wichita Beacon:
Lack of understanding on the part
of men who are running our government
appears to be as much to blame for the
chaotic condition of prices and supply as
any other one factor
Remember back in the days of the
depression when the government was rec
ommending blowing under crops because
they were in too abundant supply? Those
same experts today are trying to pillow
under markets because the demand is too
great.
1T doesn't take student of ecOnom-
les to tell our government that prices are
governed almost entirely by supply and
demand-regardless of the controls plac-
ed on either as an artificial stimulus for
increased or decreased prices
The plain truth is that our supply is
high, but our demand is greater because
of the export policies which this country
has followed and is following. Suddenly
there has been drastic cut in export al
locations of grain and flour in an effort
to retard the upward trend of prices
Looking back over the years, it is
not difficult to Sc that history repeats it.
self. Wheat after the Civil War sold for
S2.85; after the Russo-Turkish war it soar
ed to $2.45; it went to $1.85 after the
Spanish-American war, and to So so after
the first World War. 49,.
Regardless of who is running Amer
J lea, the first truth which must be realized
is the old fundamental economic law of
supply and demand. 1t has never failed.
1t never will, regardless of subsidies,
grants, doles, price pegging or other arti-
fetal stimuli. When the supply is good,
prices tend to be lower. When supply is
short, prices are high (provided there is
no price control, in which case the short
supply usually finds better customers in
the black market-at higher pirces) -.
1--WE are experiencing high wheat
prices because 40 per cent of the crop is
going out of the country. We are expert
encing high meat prices for the same rea-
son. However, we are witnessing high corn
prices because the crop this year was 8OO.
