FEARFUL:
Hoof and Mouth

Cattle, hog and sheep growers of
the u. S. continue to live in the
shadow of fear that the hoof and
mouth disease which has been deci-
mating livestock in Mexico for
many months will spread across
the border and affect U. S. herds.
At a recent session in Chicago
joint committee of the cattle, hog
and sheep raisers forwarded plea
to Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson to renew efforts to eradi-
cate the disease.
Among other things, the stock
men requested that these actions
be taken:
I Renegotiate with high Mexican
L. officials on plans for resuming
the interrupted slaughter and burial
program.
, Immediate construction of
q. fence along the present quaran-
tine line about $50 miles south of
the U. S. border.

the rest of the electorate because it
has no tradition of following strict

A Democrat, however, is he lives
IN the South and II he is to remain a

banks on this, we see even a presi-

friends below the Mason-Dixon.
I am not questioning any of the
supporters of civil rights and the
Constitution from the President
down, but there does remain the
fact of the Negro vote, and there re-

HOW PRICES DEBATE

Those same forces which recently
knocked down prices of food and
other commodities in spectacular
outburst have been quietly at work

Rising supply in a number of lines
of goods has caught up with de-
mand, and in some cases it has
bumped into demand and money
supplies on their way down, accord

economics bureau of Northwestern

was administered very tenderly by
an Old Timer, my boss. My assign
ment was helping to cover the Brit
ish embassy early in World War I,
before America had become en-
broiled.
One night, my boss, who knew
everybody in Washington, took me
along to introduce me to the British
commercial attache-I'm not sure
that was what he was called in
those days, but it describes his job.
He talked with us quite a while,
much more freely than he would
have conversed with me alone, for
I was a stranger to him.
In the course of the conversation,
he mentioned that tomorrow, or
next day, Great Britain would an
nounce what amounted to an en-
barge on American wool britain
wanted to switch her buying to Aus
tralia). The attache explained the
background of the move in detail.
When we were cut on the
street, my boss pulled out his
watch and remarked to me:
"Now, if we were crooked, we
would still have time before the
markets close to make a lot Of
money selling short, wouldn't
we?"
He didn't have to explain further.
AFTER the British had made their
| announcement, I was able to write
a good follow" interpreting the
move. That's all any newsman gets
out of confidential information,
and all that 99.44 per cent of us
ever expect.
The same thing applies to govern
ment employees. Those who act
otherwise soon depart.

But when enough consumers indi-
cate they will not pay increased
prices, then manufacturers and
stores stiffen their own resistance
to higher prices of materials, wage
boosts and the resulting price mark
ups for the finished goods because
it is evident that such further in
creases will prevent the products
from being sold.
When demand falls off and meets
rising supply, the result is a halt in
the price rise and often a sharp
downturn. Sometimes consumers,
merchants and manufacturers all
decide that prices are going to keep
on declining and therefore cut their
buying still more all along the line.
Downward price spirals usually
start in that way, the study OBJ
served.

There has been remarkable inter-

connection with the government to
play the markets. The other day
one highly-placed gentleman came
to me in quite stew.
"Have you heard the rumor that
I was being charged with playing
the market on information I got
from the White House?" he asked.
"No," I replied. "Who is doing
the charging?"
"That's what I want to find OUT"
he sputtered.
"Wen," I answered, surprised at
his wrath, "you certainly don't feel
insulted by it, do you? Anybody can
be charged with anything in an cleo

When I first came to Washington
as a reporter, I remember there
was a minor scandal on 'leaks"
that had been used for profit. The
chief offender, however, was a pub

the standpoint of business it proved
fine thing for him. AS soon as the
charges that he had obtained con-
fdential information and had
passed it on to his client were made
public he had a dozen offers from
other big firms to get on their pay
rolls. He did, but it wasn't long be-
fore he left Washington. He didn't
get any more condolences.
A lesser factor in the affair was
a newspaper reporter. It was dis
covered that he was on the payroll
of a brokerage firm to whom he
phoned anything he thought might
be of interest after he had written
his story for his paper whose last
edition had an early afternoon dead

Reds Assume Control

There were six days of crisis in
Czechoslovakia and then it was all
over-the Communists were in COM

of his cabinet ministers after he had

Premier Kement Gottwald who had

below the levels of year previous,
the study says.
In manufactured goods, the sup
ply of small radios recently has
OVERLOOKED the level of demand,
with prices skidding in many cities.
Large radios are very close to cur
rent demand, as are washing ma
chimes, stoves and deep-freeze units.
AS long as consumers demand
goods despite rising prices, the
study pointed out, the manufacturer
will pay higher and still higher
costs for materials and labor,
rather than have his production
shut down and his flow of goods to
the consumer cut off. Retail stores
buy his finished products despite
higher manufacturing costs be-
cause. they know their customers
want the goods. Z

That wasn't Henry Wallace speak
ing. Nor Democratic national head
quarters.
That was Republican Sen. Wayne
Morse of Oregon. Morse assails "the
conservative leadership" Of his own
party as vigorously as he scores re-
action in the Democratic party.
I already have discussed Wallace
and his third party "split." There
are those who think it Of so little
Importance that it can be ignored.
Some now are predicting that be-
fore the election, Wallace will be
granted some concession, some ad-
vantage, and will come out for Tru-
man for president. I wouldn't 60
that far, but I have heard the pre-
diction in more than one quarter.
Republicans are supposed to
welcome Wallace to the race,
and to count on him to cut down
the Democratic vote to some
thing almost insignificant.
Let me quote Senator Morse on
that subject, as his words appeared
in an article in the February issue
of the Progressive magazine. Morse
says that Wallace mustn't be taken
too seriously, but that he mustn't be
ignored either. He adds:
"Let my Republican party never
forget that there are not enough
Republicans to elect a Republican
president, nor enough Democrats to
elect a Democrat as president. For
tunately there are not enough
fellow-travellers to elect Wallace"
"Splits" can't be ignored, it is
true. They are important because
there is always the possibility that
the splitters might find another Ted
dy Roosevelt to lead. them. That
can't happen often, though, and
meanwhile splits are fun to watch.

that powerful position in Commu-
nist-dominated state Nosek was
analogous to the mailed glove on the
dictator's fist.
For what it was worth-and that
was very little-aging President
Benes had managed to keep at least
a superficial appearance of repre-
sentative government by insisting
that the government be composed of
members of other parties of the
national front which reinstated the
Czechoslovak republic in 1945 when
the Germans we're being driven out.
But it was a hollow, tasteless vic
tory-meaningless in any practical
application.
The new government consists OF
IL Communists (there were seven
before), four Social Democrats, two
Czech National Socialists, two Cath
Ole Peoples party members, one
Slovak Democrat and two non-party
men, Jan Masaryk as foreign min
lister and Gen. Ludwig Svoboda as
minister of defense.
Bewildered Czechs finally knew
their cherished republic had come
to a grim end when loud speakers
in Prague blared this announce
ment into the night:
"Reaction has been beaten. Go
back to work and let us complete
our tasks on the two year PLAN"
In Czechoslovakia's ronic chro-
nology the surging wall of the Red
tide engulfed their country just 10
years after the western Allies had
sold the nation to Hitler at Munich
in a tragically selfish and futile
effort to avoid war and save their
own skins at the price of just one
small Central European state.

With the Balkans all tied up with
a red ribbon the world began to
wonder which small nation the
Communist tide would engulf next.

wondered whether Austria, France
and Italy might not be clamped
soon in the Communist wise.
There was general agreement on
one fact, at least: That the Com
munist coup in Czechoslovakia had
forged perhaps the most vital link
in the Russian chain intended to
shackle the Marshall plan.
In Finland and Italy, as In Czech
oslovakia, elections were coming
up soon and the Communists were
out for victory. Finland, like Czech
oslovakia, is ruled by a coalition
government which has acknowl-
edged that the country must re-

COLD CHICKEN:
No Fuel Oil
Campaigning politicians this year
may have to eliminate "a chicken
in every pot" from their lists of
promises because there might not
be enough chickens to 60 around.
Reports from the poultry belt in
the Midwest say that the severity of
the fuel oil shortage is cutting into
the 1948 baby chick hatch to threat
en- poultry and egg production this
year.
Thousands of farmers cancelled
chick orders for early March deliv-
cry because they couldn't get oil for
their brooder stoves. Iowa and the
Northwest were suffering most
from the situation, but it also was
bad in Illinois and Indiana. The
kerosene shortage has been severe
enough to cause hardship in most of
the poultry producing area.
Some poultrymen were deferring
chick deliveries until later dates,
hoping that warmer weather would
ease the tight oil supply.
Officials of one large hybrid chick
hatchery in Iowa claimed they
needed six tank cars of fuel oil to
get their 1948 production under way
One of the most vociferous COM
plants generally being made among
farmers was that city consumers
were using up all the fuel oil.
