Common Sense Will Help
Cincinnati Enquirer


 For the purposes of organizing nationwide cam pagn, meatess Tuesday and eggless, chckenless Thursday are excellent doctrine They clear They be advertised and dramatized Here in Cincinnati the major hotels have stepped into line quickly and with the same dispatch expected to be cooperating in short time although observance to date has been spotty.
 The housewife has somewhat different problem. As cften as not she probably can plan her meals to comport with the request of the Presidents food con- servation program But if that becomes impractical in any particular case, she can and should, make it up some other day For the overall purpose is to duce the consumption of certain foods meat, fats poultry and bread, in particular
 Valuable as the cooperation of hotels and res aurants will be- and valuable the shutdown of dis tiares and economy practices of bakeries may prove the American housewife still holds the key to this nationwide effort It is her responsibility not merely to observe meatless day, additional meatlesS day the may be, but to that the weekly consumption of in her household actually is duced For nothing is gained by mere switch of dishes from day to another
 That is why savish conformity with a set of rules is not to be unduly emphasized The American way voluntary cooperation And to work effectively that requires that every housewife understand why the nation is trying to food Only when every body understands the goal get the common sense observance of food conservation. The real ob- ecive let it be said again is not to write the menus for the households of America It is reduce materi ally the nations total consumption of a few food stuffs-those of which the world has not nearly enough.

|. s. INITIATION

The Washington Post, influential Washington, D. C.. newspaper, n a recent editorial proposes rauonlhg of basic commodities, especially food items II we are to meet our foreign commitments without inviting further in the prices Of essentials
 The Posts analysis of the situation is worth re- printing:
 Tn the light of the experts analysis it is evident that the high of food is not result of speculative
 manipulation as Senatar lives assumes although spec rlation is of course, encouraged by the conditions that make for rising prices Anything that can be done to curb speculative operations of the gambling type is all to the good But it is waste of time to lock for scapegoats on whom to place responsibility for price imitation resulting from an excess of pur chasing power in consumer hands. The experts have at least done their best to destroy the illusion that high food prices are primarily due to profteerng by packers chain stores and other distributors For they assert that elimination processor distributor profits would net apprecably affect the total cost of food to consumers The chief beneciaries of rising food prices have in fact. been the farmers whose net ln- comes have risen much rapidly than the incomes of the rest of the people.
 The fact that our people continue to buy more and better food despite high pricesor at least have been doing so until recently-provides clue to the source of our difficulties We experiencing the delayed effects of wartime inflationary financing which were held in leash until price controls were
 lifted The billions Of dollars of accumulated purchas- ing power in consumer hands were only potentially infationary so long price controls and rationing restricted the amount that individuals could spend on needed goods They became actively inflationary when those restrictions vanished
 Moreover, the inflatonarY impact of our export program has been much more severe than is generally realized Indeed we think that the report prepared for the of the Joint Congressional Committee underrates the lifting effect of export demands on domestic prices only of foods but of other com modties. The Monthly Review of the New York Federal Reserve Bank points out that disbursements from foreign official with the bank amounted to nearly five billion dollars in the first eight months of this year compared with only two and one half billion dollars in the whole of 1946 Most of these funds obtained directly or indirectly from the Treasury the form of loans to Great Britain France and other countries, which used the proceeds to buy and withdraw goods from our markets. AL though the spending of borrowed funds did not in crease banking reserves the Review points out that it did result in transfer of funds from taxpayers

Greenland's Future
Washington Post

Speculation that the United States may seek to purchase Greenland from Denmark has arisen out Of the prolonged negotiations between the two countries over the future of this islandcontinent of the Arctic Greenland has long been recognized as an essential link in the continents chain of defenses After World War I this country declared that Green land lay within the protection of the Monroe Doc urine. During World War II it became necessary for the United States occupy the island to make certain that it would not fall into the hands of the Nazis. Denmark had already been invaded; but agreement arrived at through the Danish minister in Washing ton assigned to the United States the responsibility of protecting the island until the present danger to the peace and security of the American Continent have passed" Tn any future of widespread scope similar American protection of Greenland would be inevitable.
 The United States did have some claims to Green land in former years and these stoutly main tained by Admiral Peary, the Arctic explorer. But these claims have long since been relinquished In April 194l when the agreement for protection of Greenland made, President Roosevelt went far as to say that we propose to make that when the German invasion of Denmark has ended, Green land will remain Danish colony" This should be made will by agreement between the two countries the basis of their respective interests and the in terests of Greenland itself But the for selling Greenland to us strong the reasons fer selling the Virgin Islands in 1917 to strengthen the defenses of the Panama Canal And the most important of these reasons is that only the United States defend the island and prevent it from becoming a menace to peace

and investors to producers and sellers of goods In short, buying for export helped to build up the in comes of farm and industrial producers, and made it easier to raise wages of the rank and file of the consuming public at time when domestic supplies were being depleted by shipping goods abroad
 Tn addition countries in possession of gold and idle dollar balances have been using their holdings pay for exports thereby increasing the volume of domestic purchasing power. These payments, the New York Reserve Bank explains have considerably eased the pressure on bank by offsettng in large
 measure the recurrent losses caused by Treasury net receipts and by redempons of Government securities held by the Federal Reserve System In other words the Treasury's operations, which were designed to relieve nfationary pressures, have been partially nullified by the methods used in financing exports

 Tmmet M, Kelly, San Fernando Valley Calif The idea of start ng a train i'll Los Angeles, travel ing eastward and adding carload liter carload of food donations rom each city as it passes through .s a gigantic and marvellous idea
 would be a pleasure and an hon.

 Mrs. Lillian M. Woehrle, Easton, Pa.-"As a national officer of the Mothers Of World War II, I am confident that if and when your train leaves Los Angeles, we moth- CTS all along tEe route will turn out and assist in any way possible" !"
 Dabney R. Yarbrough. Sr., Col umbia. s. GAS rule the people Of European countries where cur fcod is sent hardly know where it comes from. and often they are made to believe it is coming from Russia. It seems to me we should educate the people and tell them about the American Train, and that the food is coming from a democratic country. Is it not pos s.ble to have the information print ed in their language and have book lets enclosed in the sacks of flour or grain?"
 Mrs. Karl B. Cuesta, Tampa, Fla. Why can't our embassies see that neWsreels of food being col lected here are placed in the movie theatres of European cities, towns and hamlets?"

 Mrs Edward w. Cooch, Newark, Del.-"Your train is all right but it does not go far enough-it should cross the Atlantic. We are asked to save one slice of bread-haye not yet heard anyone ask those who

 Charles w. Livingston, Sh-p Bot tom, N. J.-"I believe that we

 Ebert Baldwin, Washington, D. C.-"The train, to begin, may be only an engine and a boXcar, but l
