DAIRYINC:
TOaCriSiS

While the U. S. dairy industry
was busy promoting it's 18th an
nual June Dairy Month for the pur-
pose of selling more milk, butter,
cheese and ice cream it also was
taking a long, critical look behind
the scenes and not liking what 1t
saw.
Industry analysts had spotted
what appeared to be a dangerous
trend. In it's simplest form the
trend could be defined as an In
exorable increase in the U. S. popu-
lation.
At the root of the problem was
a stubbornly entrenched economic
condition whose factors were the
war, widespread hunger abroad
and domestic initiation.
Continuing high prices for beer
and veal have been instrumental in
sending many dairy cows or poten-
tial dairy cows to the slaughter
house. Too mary American dairy
farmers have discovered how they
could reduce their herds drastl-
cally, put more land into money
making grain crops, realize
greater profit and still have more
leisure time.
Adding those conditions to the
fact that during the past few years
the nation has experienced about
As per cent increase in it's birth
rate, the dairy industry came up
with a grim conclusion: If these
circumstances continue at the
present rate, and. there is every
likelihood that they will, by 1852 the
u. S. will be approaching the criti-
cal point at which it no longer will
be able to produce enough milk to
satisfy it's own needs.
That, according to some prog
nosticators, might mean strict ra-
tioning in a land which hitherto had
literally flowed with milk and
honey.

Europe may look forward to pos

U. S. agriculture department said
that the continent will produce a

Union early in May.

and rye-than last years desper-

killed most of Europe's winter
wheat and rye last year.
European production of bread
grains may surpass 1.8 billion
bushels, which was the size of the
1916 crop. largest since the war.
Production last year dropped to
about is billion bushels. compared
with 23 billion average before the

NO CONFERENCE:
Lewis Again

It was all typically Lewisian.
ct make the observation that
there is now no conference" quoth
John L., chief of the soft coal
miners, as he walked grandly out
on the first meeting to negotiate
a new contract between the coal
operators and the United Mine
Workers.
UMW's present contract expires
June 80.
Lewis broke up the discussion on
1948 wage agreements when he OBJ
jected to seating Joseph E. Moody,
president of the Southern Coal Pro-
ducers association, at the confer
ence and was outvoted by the
operators.
He was not against Moody per-
sonally. Officially, his unions po-
sition was that the IA regional or
ganizations which comprise the
Southern association must bargain
in IA separate groups. rather than
delegate bargaining authority to
the all-inclHSive association.
According to Lewis accepted pat
tern of operation, his balk at the
Southern Coal Producers was the
opening tactical stroke in his 1948
campaign for an improved miners
contract.
Following that, he could sit back
and present the UNIV wage de-
mands in his own good time. Then,
il the coal operators did not ac-
cede, he could call the annual
strike.
Lewis knew his position was
good. The UMW's recent pension
walkout had left the nations coal
reserves seriously depleted. BY
the time June 80 rolled around
soft coal stocks would not yet have
been built up to the point where
industry could stand a long strike.
Barring unforeseen circum-
stances, it looked like this would
develop into another injunction
case.
The union still is under an 80 day
court injunction prohibiting re-
newal of the pension strike; but
the court might rule that another
Walkout would be a brand new
strike. In that case a new in
junction might have to be sought
by the government under Taft
Hartley procedure.

POLITICS.:
The Race

In Oregon, where the last presi-
Dental primary Of this campaign
year was held in an atmosphere OF
political hoopla, Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York was voted
more likely to succeed than Harold
StasSen.
Whether he would or not re-
NAMED an open question, but it
was certain that his political COM
plexion had taken on a more san
guine hue as result Of the Oregon
balloting.
Stassen, who had won spectacular
primary victories in Wisconsin and
Nebraska over Taft and Dewey, his
chief rivals for the COP nomina-
ton, and then had received bor-
derline setback at the hands OF
Taft forces in Ohio, at last had
suffered a clear-cut defeat.
Oregon wasn't going to do Stas-
sen any good. Having had to buck
organized Republican opposition all
the way along, he apparently had
estimated that his best chance OF
procuring the nomination lay in
building up sufficient prestige and
momentum during the primary
campaigns to stampede the June 81
convention.
However, he still will go to the
national convention with at least
200 delegates pledged to support
him on the first ballot. So. for
that matter, will Dewey. A total
of 548 convention votes is required

PALESTINE:
Diplomacy

What the Jews of Israel lacked in
armed strength to resist Arab at
tackS against their new state they
had made up in shrewd diplomacy.
1t was just possible that the deci-
sivs blow of the Palestine war was
struck when Israel, foreseeing mill
tary defeat, agreed to order It's
army to cease fire on all Palestine
fronts if the Arabs would do the
same.
That development, which took
place as the battle for Jerusalem
entered its sixth day in an unholy
atmosphere of rafting guns, burst
ing shell and violent death, made
the most favorable impression pos
sible in the United Nations.
Thus having the onus of prolong-
ing the Palestine fighting shifted
suddenly to their shoulders alone
the Arabs were put on the spot In
the U. N. and in world public opin-
ion.
If was a clever diplomatic maneu-
yer on the part of the Jews but'
at least at the outset OF this ne"
line of circumstances, the Arabs
were having none of it. They relter-
ated their determination to wrest
all Palestine from control OF the
Jews.
Actually. all the Jews had done
was to issue a surprise cease ire
order in compliance with a U. N.
security council request that the
fighting be brought to a halt
Neither the security council nor
anyone else had expected the re-
quest to be observed.
But that put it up to the ARABS
who. faced with a deadline set oy
the U. NJ, were having trouble de-
Gliding whether or not to cease flre'
If they stopped fighting now they
would have done so without attain
ing their prime objective-tne re-
volxing of IsraePs claim to SOW
>erreign statehood. If they continued
the war beyond the deadline they
would be laying themselves open TO

SECURITY:
Desperate Plight

President Truman came up WIN
another sound plank to reinforce
his campaign platform when he de-
manded that congress overhaul and
broaden the social security pro-
gram.
To relieve the desperate" plight
of the aged and needy in this infla-
tionary period he called for 30 per
cent increase in old age insurance
benefits and asked that 20 million
more persons be protected.
He offered a five point program
and said he wanted quick action
on it. For three years, the Presi-
dent pointed out with some lrrita-
ton, similar requests on his part
have been shunted aside. This time
he was asking:
A so per cent increase "atleast"
J.. in old age and survivors in
surance benefits; allowing pension
ers to earn up to $40 a month in
stead of SIS without losing benefits;
raising of the tax rate from l per
cent to 11S per cent next January !.
- Extension of coverage to farm
Il" and domestic workers, the
self-employed and others not now
covered.
- Broadening of unemployment
-. insurance to cover employees
of small firms (having fewer than
eight workers., federal employees
and others.
a Disability insurance to protect
r. workers from loss of earnings
caused by sickness and injuries.
z Increased federal benefits to
- match state aid for dependent
children, the needy, aged and blind.
Whatever his motives in present
ing the problem Of inadequate So
cial security benefits again at this
time, Mr.. Truman did have a good.
even a noble, point.
'.People whose sole income is
from social security payments have
Just about reached the breaking
point. All of them face a des-
perate struggle in trying to pro-
cure bare necessities at present
prices"
Both President Truman and the
aged and needy were hoping fer
vently that congress would be able
to squeeze social security legisla-
ton into the crowded docket 1t had
prepared for the month preceding
adjournment.
AS for congress itself, it was on
the fence again.
