 week from now, perhaps two weeks shal know about the effectiveness of the proposed meat buyers strike than do It is just pos sible that ten-day boycott of meat will accomplish its purpose of bringing down prices
 The significant feature of the present boycott is that appears to be organized extensive scale across the country, having originated in Texas, of all places which is cattle country.
 The weakness of boycotts of course, is that they produce only temporary results. Mrs Dennis E. Jack son. President of the Greater Cincinnati Consumers Conference points with certain amount of pride to the sevenday buyers strike conducted here last sum- mer. Prices went down, she contends proof of the influence of the housewife the market. This may be true enough but they also went again and have continued to rise ever since.
 To be successful boycott requires almost 100 per cent cooperation the part of the consumer something incidentally which is rarely achieved. As we pointed out many months ago the subject of meat prices they will remain long enough people have money to pay them. The consumers purse still is fat-but not fat it was year or six months ago When it becomes thin enough so that the consumer cannot really afford to buy then prices will down.
 Meanwhile we shall with interest the progress of the consumers boyoctt. Any reduction Ill the cost of living will be acceptable to most people.

WHY THE DISCREPANCY?

There is obvious discrepancy between the re- cent advice to grain growers issued by Secretary oi Agriculture Brannon, and the oftrepeated declara- tions of President Truman on prices The Secretary has asked store substantial part of the forthcoming bumper grain crop in order to maintain prices The President has been asking Congress to take action to bring prices down. little study, how ever, may show that the discrepancy isn't as great as the first glance would lead us to believe
 Aside from natural leeway for political ad- vantage we presume that both the Secretary and the President are interested primarily in programs which will react to the public good Lowering prices, at the moment certainly would be beneficial to most of us But too great and too swift decline in farm products prices might be the forerunner to depression
 as it was the years which preceded 1929, 30 and 3l We have modicum of sympathy then, for the Secretary's warning.
 No one deny that the large current crops Of
