Food: Consuming Problem
BY MARK SULLIVAN

crete by questions which went
on the assumption that volun-
tary food saving will not be
enough. Asked whether ration
ing of food would be adopted
in the present drive, he an
swered no, not unless it be-
comes i'm p erative. Asked
whether he regards rationing as
an act of the police state, he
answered firmly, yes, anything
that is compulsory is the police
state in operation.
To similar questions about
setting up a duplicate of the
wartime price controls, Mr..
Truman's answers were the
same. One question was aimed
toward putting Mr.. Truman's
philosophy to an embarrassing
test-does he regard rent con-
troll as the police state? He re-
piled yes, and said that rent
control, like any method of the
police state, is justified only by
emergency. He expressed conf
dence that the saving Of enough
food to meet European needs
will not reach the stage of
emergency, that enough will be
saved by the voluntary method.

WASHINGTON, - In mes
sage to the Ohio Republican
Central Committee on Oct. "a,
Sen. Robert A. Taft is expected
to tell what he intends to do
about running for President in
1913 In that connection it is in
teresting to try to make an IN
ventory of his idea. What makes
him tick?
In his recent tour Of The west,
he shot his wad. Six major
sneeches, seven press confer
ences and five formal state
merts. He skipped some issues
like the farm program, and ne
said he didn't know about some
others like the western steel IN
dustry.
But boiling down what he did
saw for a summary index, it
reveals that the senator's serl-
ous colorless, humorless ideas
ON principal domestic issues ]ell
out about like this. in direct
quotations:

w. the main issue is the ques-
ton of whether you want more
power in Washington and more
money spent in Washington. !
think very likely the question OF
high prices will be one of the is
sues. don't see how the labor
bill can be made a successful
issue by next November"
Democratic Party - ut isn't
easy to determine just what its
principles are, because the par
| ty is divided between the left
wing and the conservative wing
whose views are often more con
servative than the Repub-
leans"
Health Insurance 1.-THE Unit
ed States today has the best
medical service in the world. It
seems idiotic to throw it away
and start a brand new expert
ment. ((The Wagner Murray
Dingen bill plan) which

success in the countries where
it has been tried"
Housing 'My own belief is
that we cannot get rid Of sub
standard housing and keep all
housing at a decent level, with
out a further development OF
public housing. # the subsidy

Initiation - "A tax cut will
tend to prevent further wage in

greatest danger of further infla-
tion."

An Economic Strateg1St

,ignation of William

Resignation of William L..
Clayton as Under Secretary of
State of Economic Affairs lays
heavy new burdens on the shoul-
ders and judgment of those re-
naming on the American for
eign policy front.
Mr.. Clayton's retirement is
due at least in part to pressing
personal obligations, and it is
these that form the official ex-
plantations of his withdrawal.
Whether he would have felt
it possible to stay on until the
Marshall Plan had been put in
full swing if American policy
had been different in emphasis
- that is another question.
Certainly no one could have
asked for a more trying assign
ment than that of guiding the 16-
nation Paris conference which
reported Europe's needs and
capabilities to the United States.
Mr.. Clayton here found himself
confronted with the need of per-
suading Europeans to ask for as
little as possible and of helping
to lead Congress to a recogni-

The marriage vows had been
exchanged, the wedding break
fast finished, and now Sandy
red-faced and all a flutter, was
conducting his bride out Of the
home of his new father-in-law.
Yet, in all of his embarr assment,
he did not forget his native
Scottish caution. O tside he
glimpsed leaden skie so h.
turned back and, reaching
through the door, took hold Of
the umbrella hanging there.
"Na, ma, Sandy" admoniShed
the brides father. 'That's my

"Mon, mon!" protested SANDY
amazed and hurt. "Hae ye no

perhaps so or so per cent above

Republican record - 1--WE are
proud of that record. The Re-
publican program outlined at
the beginning Of the session was
completed We received no CO.
operation from the admins
tration.
Social Welfare - II have al
ways distinguished between that
part of the New Deal which un-
dertook to regulate every detail
of agriculture, commerce, indus
try and even family life, and
that part which undertook to i'm
prove the condition of the people
of this country who, for any rea-
son, suffered hardship and pow
erty. Many (New DeaD mea-
sures were proposed and some
enacted. Most of those enacted
were experimental and it
is doubtful how effective they
have been"
Taxes - "The time has come
when we should determine the
limit of the tax burden which
can be safely borne without
threat to freedom, and conform
our expenditures to taxes. L
have thought that there should
be a reduction of taxes right
along"
Taft Hastley Labor-Manage-
ment bill - "The violent propa-
ganda of the labor unions shows
that either they do not know
what is in the bill, or they are
deliberately deceiving their
members. Where the labor un-
ion members are advised Of the
bills provisions, polls show that
they are generally in favor of
them - the act does not in any
way limit the legitimate rights
of labor unions"

not failed to endorse every
spending project which has been
seriously proposed"
Unemployment compensation

states can handle this without

Mr.. Truman's faith in the vol
untary method, his personal
trait of distaste for anything
that seems like compulsion by
government or by a government
official was brought out by
personal question. He had just
announced that, as a means of
saving food, state dinners at the
White House will be suspended
during the coming season.
Someone asked him if similar
suspensions of public functions
throughout the country will be
made a part of the drive for
food saving. He replied, with
obvious disinclination to seem
to exert pressure, that no, it is
for those who customarily hold
large public dinners to decide.
One question, meant in part
to be humorous, pointed to what
seems a paradox in the pro-
gram which the Presidents
Food Committee urges upon the
public. The Food Committee
had urged the public to refrain
from eating poultry on Thurs
days. But the chickens thus per-
mitted to survive eat grain
and grain is the one form of
food most desired for Europe.
Might it not be better for the
public to eat chickens on Thurs
day and thus save for Europe
the grain those chickens would
eat on Friday and days succeed
ing?
Mr.. Truman took the question
humorously, but used it to focus
and emphasize the central need
OF Europe and central purpose
OF the food-saving campaign. It
is, in six words, one hundred
million bushels of wheat - to
bring about, by various rear
rangements of the American
diet a consumption of a hundred
million bushels less wheat than
would normally be consumed.
Mr.. Truman said that the pro-
gram of his Food Committee
may turn out to have bugs in
1t, If so these will be discovered
by experience and can be
changed.
Several questions dealt with
whether the immediate "stop
gap" aid for Europe can be met
by the method which has been
relied upon-that is, by existing
funds held by various govern
ment agencies, and available
Tor this purpose, without need
OF a new appropriation by Con-
gress, and hence without need
OF a special session of that body
Mr. Truman said this could be
done and mentioned the agen-
cles which have various
amounts available. As to
whether there may be special
session for broader purposes,
