the subject has said about the same
thing, although none has been
quite so blunt. Most of the talk has
had to do with voluntary controls
Politicians and public officials are
still shying away from Government
controls. They cling to the idea
that We humans can be persuaded
to curb our appetites by appeals to
our better natures.
Photo of Barbecue.
Personally, I have my doubts.
These doubts were strengthened by
wirephoto that appeared in the
newspapers the same day that
Senator Taft made his memorable
announcement. The picture showed
Mr.. Taft enjoying himself at a
California barbecue. His elbows
were lifted high, his knife and fork
plunged deeply into large steak
and smile of pure relish IL
Illuminated his face. Gbv. Warren, on
one side, and Representative Jack
Anderson, on the other, were gazing
at their guest and grinning with
admiration.
Now don't suppose there Is any
more extravagant form of feeding
than a barbecue, any that involves
more waste. But Senator Taft obvi-
ously wasn't thinking of that at
the moment. Nor would anybody
else have been, certainly not any
herman with lusty appetite. There
was the food. He ate it. Incl
dentally, he will not have much
opportunity to eat less, or less ex-
travagantly, until he gets back to
Ohio. His hosts, from coast to
coast, are going to heap his plate
for him and there's nothing he

sembly establish its own Security
Committee which would take over
the handling of questions stynied
by Russian vetoes in the Security
Council. This is mild, 11th-hour
attempt to salvage something from
the United Nations, which had given
the world such hope that 1t would
be able to maintain peace for long
time to come.
Gen. Marshall's advisers who as
sisted in preparation of his speech
yesterday are fully aware that the
power of this new Security Com
mittee would be merely vocal and
intended to alert world public opin-
ion. The Charter provides that the
Security Council. composed of the
Big Five as permanent members
and six smaller nations elected for
two years, is the executive body
of the U. N. The Charter allows
little room for Interpretation of its
iron clad rules.
Prestige, Not More Power.
Gen. Marshall is too experienced
a soldier not to realize that even
if the Assembly were to order, for
instance, a special commission to
watch Greece's northern boundaries,
such a commission would be able
only to make reports and deliver
protests. Such a body would not
have the means to prevent Mos
cows stooges from overthrowing
the Athens government and con-
verting Greece into another Soviet
satellite.
The American delegation is ex-
pected to be supported by large
number of peace-loving countries
in its effort to give the Assembly
more prestige-but not more power
The Latin American representa-
Iives and a large number Of Euro
pean delegates sincerely applauded
Gen. Marshall's honest attempt to
break the deadlock which has pre-
vented the U. N. from fulfilling its
peace-preserving role.
However, these Well-wishers are
keeping their fingers crossed. They
are too experienced in interna-
tional affairs not to realize that
Russia can continue to make a
monkey out of the entire organiza-
ton because she cares nothing for
world opinion and the most ele-
mentary principles of international
justice.
So long as the U. S. S. r. Is the
foremost military power in the
world, Mr.. Vishinsky will run rough
shod over all those who attempt to
hamper Russias plans of aggran-
diZement.

Convinced More Than Voluntary
Food Control Will Be Necessary

can do but clean 1t up. Practicing
what he breaches will have to come
later.
But you can't criticize Senator
Taft for being like other people.
Take the town of New York. There
a great many housewives and their
husbands have been engaged in a
spontaneous boycott Of the butcher
shops because of the prices. Just to
show the butchers that they mean
business they've taken to eating in
restaurants. The restaurants have
shown an increase of 10 to Is per-
cent in patronage as a result. And
the restaurants buy their meat from
the butchers!
That's how voluntary control ap-
pears to work.
Not Beyond Repair.
The situation may not be com.
pletely beyond repair of course, so
far as the mere matter of meat
eating is concerned. The restaurant
keepers of New York have promised
to cooperate with Mayor O'Dwyer
and work out a system Of meatless
days, probably excluding meat from
their menus two days a week. The
idea Is spreading to other cities and
may spread from the restaurants
to the homes.
That should help some, but there
will be lot left to do If the catas-
trophe now bearing down on the
world is to be avoided. That, at
least, is the opinion of qualified
American food experts. Acting Sec
retary of Agriculture Dodd, home
from the Food and Agriculture Or
ganization meeting in Geneva, says
Western European governments will
soon begin to fall unless we can meet
Europes need for food. He proposes
only voluntary controls, however
farmers to feed less grain to cattle,
hogs and chickens; consumers to
eat less meat. Secretary of Com
merce Hartman says the only al
tentative Is Government control, but
doubts that it could be put into
effect in time to avert disaster. Gov.
Dewey, while agreeing that the
tragic need is immediate, offers only
long-range policy of greater food
production through improved agri-
cultural techniques.
Few public officials thus far have
agreed with Senator Peppers view
that the situation is hopeless" On
the other hand, even fewer have in
dorsed Senator Brewster's callous
complaint that we are shipping too
much food to the hungry people Of
Europe.

Two Cents for Dessert.

The county committee which rep
resents the rank and file of the

little by playing host to Senator
-Taft's first appearance here. They
were promptly Slapped down by the
Office holders and fat cats of the
