FOOD AND GOVERNMENT COSTS

Whoever has reason to CON-
plain about the price of food may
we'll call to mind that the price
of government is higher. Last
year, while Americans were
spending about $43 billion for
food, they were spending through
their Federal Government just
less than $45 billion. That does
not include a few more billions
spent by state and local govern
ment units.
That huge tax bill is in the
price of food. From the time
farmers plant the crops in taxed
lands until a taxed truck fueled
by taxed gasoline and driven by
a taxed deliveryman brings the
groceries and meat into the kitch-
en-, the figuring fingers of the
tax gatherers are adding to the
cost of breakfast, dinner and
supper.
Invisible but always present at
every meal, and charged for, are
every necessary public servant
and every one of the useless
payrollers. And along with them
are the ghosts of their expensive
predecessors who helped roll the
public debt up into billions that
were fantastic before govern
ments set out to destroy man.

TO WHAT END, HENRY?

We trust h a before Henry
Wallace accepts h e bid of his
Progressive Citizens of America
to become a third-party candi-
date for President he will S t op,
look, and listen.
The fact that so m n Y left
wing and la Dor leaders like
Walter Reuther heartily d ecry
the notion should give Mr.. Wall
ace p a u e. The disintegration
wrecked by it in his own Pea
should make him look a second
time to see why men like Frank
Kingdom do not regard a third
party movement as a necessary
crusade in behalf of a grea t
principle. And a little listening to
the glee among reactionaries and
Communists should set him Won
dering bout the results of a
three-legged race.
Of course, Mr.. Wallace knows
that he cannot win in 1913. There
have been rumors that he is try
ing to get in position for 1852.
But the history of third-party
movements can hardly encourage
him. And the reaction of labor
generally ought definitely to dis
courage him.
Henry Wallace might swing
the election. The Gallup poll
shows Mr.. Truman having more
than half the votes by about 8
per cent in New York and l per
cent in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Wallace m g h t subtract
enough Truman votes to tip the
balance. He can certainly hurt
the President who forced his res
ignation. But we cannot believe
spite is his motive. And how can
he help himself or any cause he
holds dear?
Has he heard how the plan for
a third party has already revived
the hopes of h Brickerites,
lovingly laid away in rose leaves
months ago? Has he noticed the
new perkiness of the Macarthur
legions? Mr.. Wallace cannot win,
But he can nominate a right-wing
Republlcan-and perhaps elect
him. Is there h e re some long
range scheme based on a hope
that the further right America
goes next year the further left it
will swing later? That would suit
the Communists. But who else?-

Typhoid Reported Acute
Ii Europe

Typhoid fever, on its way
out in pre-war Europe, has
once more become an acute
menace to 2OOO,O OO. 900 people,
the Interim Commission of the
World Health Organization re-
ports here.
The result, WHO says is
that Europe's safe area has
been reduced to the Scandin-
avian countries, Switzerland
and the United Kingdom. In
addition, more than $50, 1000
cases Of typhoid fever have
been reported in Europe lex
elusive of the U.S.S.R.) during
each of the last two years.
The new spread of typhoid
fever, WHO observes, has a
direct bearing on European ec-
onomic recovery, since some
$4,000 lives and 5000, 900 work
ing days are lost each year be-
cause Of the disease.
Prevention of the typhoid
fever hinges on basic sanitary
engineering, WHO points out,
but mass vaccination could at
least limit epidemics.

The Company Should Continue To Pay Taxes
IN H Butler-Miller Report there is the recommended
ton that the Virgin Islands, under its new charter. should be
tax exempt. If this recommendation is accepted and approved
St. Croix would lose considerably. Like a dying man catching
at a $ straw, we look about US for every possible source of reve
nue., large and small, and try to plug every hole. It is there
fore natural that such a recommendation would create consi
derable concern for our people, for the Virgin Islands Com
pany is no small taxpayer. Last year that Company paid an
estimated $4,000 in taxes into the local treasury.
EVERYONE realizes the importance of the Virgin IS
lands Company in our economic scheme of things. The Com
pany employs thousands, it plows and cultivates hundreds of
acres of land, and it exports our principal crop. Many can re-
call the difference between many of our principal villages to-
day and 20 years ago, and realize that life has literally sprung
up wherever the Company extends its program. It is for this
reason that 50 much effort is being made to have the charter
renewed, and to keep tina Company within government con
troll II is true that the Company ends up in the red at the
close Of some years, but but that is reality which must be
faced as against a direct system of the dole. Indeed it is more
sefrespecting, & by far more constructive to have a quaSigov
eminent agency such as the Virgin Islands Company. which
nuthfully performs many excellent tasks, than to think in the
strictest business terms, yet find ourselves seeking the dole.
With its extensive program, and with even greater things to
come, everyone is anxious to have the charter Of the Company
renewed.
WE strongly recommend that the section Of the Report
which suggests that the Company be tax exempt, be stricken,
and that the Company continue to play its part by carrying
its just share of the burden. 1t is not necessary to 90 into long
and extensive discussion as to Qualifications for having the
Company pay its taxes. That is almost sef-evident. It occupies
manyo the finest and most fertile acres, it uses the highways
and streets, it has some Of the finest buildings on the island,
and it operates as a business. In addition to the loss which
would result in this Island it would appear to usto be a type

WORLD NEWSPRINT
SHORTAGE SLOWS
I o

A worldwide shortage OF
newsprint, coupled with q
marked inequality in its dis
tribution,n is slowing down the
flow of vital Information tc
millions of newspaper readers.
a report prepared by the Uni
ted Nations staff indicates.
The widespread lack OF
newsprint, the rather rough
inexpensive paper on which
almost all daily and weekly
newspapers are printed, shows
up in everyday life in most OF
Europe and the Far East every
time a reader buys a paper
Often his journal will consist
of only two pages and rarely
~ -
more than four not enough
for complete reports on today's
complex news.
Behind the shortage of news
print, the report shows, is &
great slump in production II
all major producing countries
except Canada and the United
States. Taken together, the
countries which produced 90
percent of the worlds news
print in 1887 now are making
Is percent less.
However, the report points
out, Canada's production is 4C
percent greater than it was in
1887, thus providing North
American users with a rela-
lively large supply. Other i'm
portant producers, such as the
Scandinavian countries and
Germany, meanwhile, are turn
ing out only fractions of their
preWar supplies.
The report declares that
three major factors underlie
the slump in production: war
time destruction Of CT plants llaaiafttS and
of forest resources; shortage Of
foreign exchange, making il
impossible for manufacturing
countries to import necessary
%pulpwood; and conversion OF
machinery to production OF

of false economy to have the Company refrain from paying
taxes.
IN OUR economic life, 100000 is not to be sneezed at,
and we believe that on second thought the men who wrote
the Report would themselves about face on that point. Even
the Company officials realize the great loss which would come
to St. Croix, and they favor the p~racticeof continuing the pay
ment Of taxes. That is the way it should be.
