known farm economist of Har-
ward University, points out.
Though the United States sent
1s, 006, 600 tons of food to Europe
last year and is continuing to
ship food, these exports make up
only five per cent of Americas
food supply, DR.. Black reports.
This is a smaller percentage
than is generally thought. Even
as little as 5 per cent has a sig
nificant effect, but not as much
as suggested by many statements
in the press. Furthermore, the
American shipments have con-
sisted mostly Of wheat, and this
year brings the greatest wheat
crop in history.
AS the problem is analysed by
farm Economists, food prices
have been pushed up mainly by
the highest employment levels
on record, which created excep-
tional purchasing power and buy
er demand. Accompanying this
was the Governments policy of
emphasizing price supports and
abandoning ceiling prices and
consumer rationing. Such a price
program would have been justi-
fed only if farm and food prices
were low and dropping.
1t is fortunate that American
food exports have contributed
only in a minor way to raising
prices. Shipments of food to
western Europe must continue if
the governments of these count
ries are to stand.

WATCH THAT SURPLUS

President Truman's announce
ment of a 81, 700, 900 surplus for
the current fiscal year has re-
opened all the argument over
tax cuts. Republicans are saying
that the Presidents figure only
goes to prove that taxes could
and should have been cut.
The Democrats say the sur
plus-if not absorbed by unex-
pected expenditures should be
used for debt reduction.
There is also lively disagree
ment over how much a Republi-
can Congress reduced a Demo-
cratic President budget. Mr..
Truman estimates that Congress
cut 81, 578, 100000. The Repub-
lican chairmen of the House and
Senate appropriations commit
ees say they SLICED off 81, 578, OO0-
900.
Impartial observers have point
ed out that this figure counts as
savings several big items where
expenditures are authorized but
the actual appropriations post
poned.
The public will be we'll advised
not to take too much stock in any
Of the figures being batted back
and forth by partisans. The fact
is that they are all estimates.
Nobody knows either what ex-
penditures or revenues will be
ten months hence when the fiscal
year ends. Mr.. T r u m a n is
$4,000, 900, 600 higher today than
he was in January. A further
boom in business might push rev.
enues still higher. But a recess
ion would cut them sharply.
Moreover, the reductions by
Congress may have to be reduced.
Aside from supplemental approp-
riations, there is, as the Presi-
dent pointed out, the possibility
that the Marshall Plan will cost
several billion before the year
expires. So-it may be we'll for
taxpayers to keep an eye on that
surplus. If they cannot count on
an early tax cut, they can at
least watch more carefully where
the money goes and appla u d
more vigorously when money is
genuinely saved.-Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

'In the heights we often had

Admiral Ninitz yesterday ordered
special board of inquiry to de-

by midshipmen at Annapolis had
been employed in later years to ad-

The Chief of Naval Operations
took this action after several Naval
officers complained to the Secre-
tary of the Navy and a Navy captain
told Congressional Committee
that the Green Bowl" society has
grown vicious with the years"
On the other hand, Admiral De-

innocent schoolboy contrivance to
circumvent certain regulations
found irksome by the undergradu-
ates.

Sunday, May 18th, H. B. A. Lodge
No. 468, headed by Mr. Frank John

brated its twelfth anniversary at the
Bartholomew Baptist Church.
The church did not accommodate the
large crowd that had gathered for
this gala event. On our arrival to
the church people had come from far
and near in wagons, automobiles, bug
gies and on foot.
A short but spicy program was
rendered by the local church or lodge.
Bishop R. /. Young, the invited guest
speaker for the occasion, was presen-
ted by Mr.. Johnson, who spoke in high
terms of Bishop Young's work and
worth to the race. He stated that
there were quite a few Methodists in
that section who had not seen a bishop
and a large number of them was pre-
sent in order that they might see a
bishop.
Bishop Young preached 4 strong
and forceful sermon and concluded
by singing 81 Am Cong Home With
The Lord Some Day" More than $40
was raised. Prizes were awarded to
six persons who raised more than the
$100 assessment
The quartet from Stonewall rem
dered q lovely program of gospel
songs for the occasion. Bishop and
Mrs. Young were accompanied on the
trip by Mr.. A. L. Collins and Miss
Matte L. Larkin.
You talk about a dinner, but that
dinner just wouldn't quit. Brother
Johnson, you and your lodge really
had an affair. Professor and Mrs
Palmer were present to help make
the anniversary a success.
