Tor the socialism Of England and

grimace which battles the limita-

Following the close Of World War
II, a majority Of the English peo-

left. The people Of England and the
people Of America have paid a
heavy price for that turn. Year by
year the English people are faced
with diminishing living standard.
They have less to eat; less clothes
to wear; less coal to provide heat:
less Of all things that make living

the most stringent sanitary requirements at

existing conditions. And statistics nOtwith-

continue to do so.
The outlook for overall meat production
IS reasonably good. Slaughter supplies of

Well-finished cattle probably will be much
smaller this summer than last, but this de-

to meat supply, the diet of our citizens is
unsurpassed
The meat industry, from farmers and
packers to consumers, offers a remarkable
demonstration of the free market in which
production is encouraged as contrasted with
black markets which flourish on artifcially
frozen prices and dwindling supplies. And
statistics can't change this fact.

Answer to a Query

A READER QUESTIONS a state.
ment in this column to the effect
that the people pay the tax Of 20
cents ton on all mined coal which
is levied by the coal miners union.
He says a majority Of the coal
mined is used in industry and
transportation, not in home heat
ing. True, but when used in indus
try and transportation it adds 70
the cost Of commodities and serv-
ices.
That added cost is, and must be,
passed along to the consumer, and
we the people pay the union tax Of
20 cents a ton on all coal mined by
union miners. The consumer pays
the taxes of industry and transpor-
tation. It is a portion Of the price
they pay for commodities and serv.
ices.

I expect your town and your coun.

Mrs. Bradley as a former handy

Jan Tomasow Strings at Gallery.
Jan Tomasow, one of the busiest
musicians in the city, has had the
time to develop a string quartet,
the quality of which can challenge
that of any visiting group. 1t has
been heard frequently in the Ma

there again last night for program
in the West Garden Court. The
concert followed an arduous after
Moons playing since the quartet's

Their work in the diversified pro-
gram consisting OF Haydn'S Quar-
tet in B fiat major, op. "a, No. 81
Schubert's Quartet in A minor
and Ravel's Quartet in F major
was of fine order throughout. For
special enjoyment of the beauty OF
the blended tone was the Largo of
the Haydn number and the lovely
Menuetto of the Schubert. Well
matched in musical artistry, this
foursome has great fexibiiity in
creating effects with smoothness
and repose always present in their
playing.
Appreciation Of the appropriate
style defined their presentation OF
each work with perhaps the most
brilliant performance being given
the Ravel. Yet the exigencies of the
Schubert quartet were felt in proper
proportion while the Haydn's was
executed with extraordinary grace
and suayity. A very large audience
was In attendance and paid tribute
to the artists by answering atten-
tion as well as applause.

Department from the Russians for
a talk between Stain and Truman,
but the White House turned it

Asked by q White House visitor
the other day, why he hadn't been

Only he used words even stronger.
However, with the United States
