WE DON'T HAVE FAMlNES

Every now and then news
items appear to the effect that
meat production is declining. And
this, in turn, is pick up by ex-
tremists who dolefully predict
meat ''famines' by a given date.
AS an example, some of the
Washington crepe-hangers seem
ed sure that such a famine would
appear by last May Day.
May Day came and went, and
there was no meat famine-there
wasn't even a shortage, in spite
of the fact that the packing in
dustry. was plagued by a strike.
That was just one more example
Of the way industry is geared to
meet the nations needs, and to
deal with developments as they
occur.
For 1913 as whole, Federally-
inspected meat production will
be under lat. But it will be about
Is per cent above the prewar
average. Production is not and
cannot be constant from month
ito month. During the third quar-
ter, for instance, there is always
decrease, for seasonal reasons.
The packers handle that by
storing meat to relase during
speriods when receipts are light.
It's like the old story about
strawberry jam. The jam is made
in the srping when the crop
comes into barring. But people eat
the jam all the year round.
Going farther, at the present
time it looks as if there will be
decrease in well-finished cat
tie from tn corn belt states. But
i cattle of other grades, such as
/ Commercial, will be available in
adequate supply. On top OF that
step-up in hog marketings re-
Gently occurred and has helped
/ to improve the meat situation as
i a whole.
i Meat is complicated business
and some Of the fears of famine
are based on a lack Of under
standing Of how it works. Bu'
talk of serious shortages just
doesn't make sense. According
to the industry's experts, YOU
butcher will continue to have
plenty to offer.

DOING THE WORK

Those who have benn bemused
by the wild claims made on be-
half of government power de-
velopment should consider re-
cent release. from the Edison
Electric Institute. According to
it, the job Of taking electricity
to rural America will be practi-
cally complete in 1851. Work now
in progress or definitly planned
will connect II dditiOnal 1880 900
rural dwellings, most Of them on
farms, to power lines by the end
OF the year.
What that means to rural
America needs. little amplifica-
tion-electriCity # the cheapest
and the A.ts eit servant
ever devised. II can revolution
ize the life Oh the farm family,
doing away with much manual
drudgery and increasing produc-
ton and income. And one of the
most interesting aspects of this
revolutionary process is the
agency that is responsible for It.
At the eny of last ear, 12,9O0,-
600 rural dwellings were taking
electric service. REA co-ops ser
we'd 100000, or Is per cent
Municipal and other government
agencies brought power to 3OO,-
900, or about 2 per cent. All the
rest-1O,6O0,O0 dwellings, repre-
senting 80 per cent Of the whole
were served by the business
managed electeric companies!
In other words, free enterprise
as represented by the regulated,
heavily-taxed utilities, is the
driving influence behind the
stepped-up rural identification
program. The taX-subsldlZed
government power ventures get
the private companies are doing
most of the propaganda, While

NEW fYORK-SOmetl the
baseball season just messes up
things. For instance, the double
headers, sponsored by a couple
Of big firms, have been running
over their scheduled time on
Sundays and for the past z
weeks caused the cancellation of
the broadcast of Tenth of Ma
tion,' upsetting their planned
program of discussion on The
topic, FEPC. Just as we turn the
dial, the announcer tells us in
plain words that the innings
must go on.
So, being very disguised, we
went down to the radio station
WINS, Crosley Broadcastine
Corp. to find out what they were
doing about it. Larry Lowenstein
director of WINS public relations
put it simple. The revenue from
these baseball sponsors helped
them to make such purely SER
vice programs as tenth Of a
Nation" possible-and duoble
headers couldn't last forever. In
fact, there were no more for
quite a while.
However, not knowink Of the
first cancellation, Ralph Cooper,
their diaper and suave Moderator
had all his guest stars down to
the station ready to go on. Min
utes were precious as p. m.
neared but the game roared in
full swing. Suddenly they all
realized they'd be cancelled out.

to record the program and play

BACKWARD AMERICA"
BUNK

All the proponents of social
ism, communism and the other
what have you isms argue that
their systems offer the"common
man" greater security and mat
erial benefits. AS Al Smith used
to say, let's look at the record.
England has gone in for soci-
alism in big way. And what has
happened? Once a great coal eX-
porting nation, she can now
hardly produce enough for her
own needs..~Her electric power
industry has gone downhill and
rates are higher than under pri-
vate ownership. Her whole Soc
ialized economy is as shaky as a
tree in a storm.
Russia, Of course, has gone
whole hog in its version of a
peoples government to own
or control all productive activity,
and only a miserable minimum
Of consumer goods is produced.
Her retail stores-all of which
belong to the state-are stocked
with only a few necessities and
even these are strictly rationed.
Prices, measured by average
earning power, are far higher
than in this country.
Backward America" Onythe
other hand, still clings to repre-
sentative govrnment and a Cap
italist economy. The tragic" re-
suits of this are seen on every
hand-the most efficient indus
tries on earth, the highest stan
dards of living in the world in
spite. Of initiation, more leisure
and opportunity for all, retail
stores grooming with every kind
of commodity, and competitive
system which has to please the
people or go out of business-no
take it or leave it, system.
The socialists have sad story
1t Just doesn't make sense. An6
yet they are working here tt
have government monopolieS
supplant private enterprise. Viii
