This Years Meat Supply

AS of the early part of March, retail meat prices
i'll the Chicago area, which are generally typical
OF the country as whole, were down average
Of 20 per cent below last summers peak levels
Some popular cuts down much more-round
steak, for instance, was being offered at 80 per
cent less than at the high point
Supply and demand did that A heavy Supply
of meat came to market, and at the same time
there some slackening in consumer buying
The meat had to be moved and lower prices were
the inevitable result AS interesting byproduct
of the change one of the biggest meat packers
took substantial operating loss for 1948
At present, there has been something of a re-
versal in the trend of livestock supplies and prices
are expected to level out. However, one need
fear meat shortage. Last year, the average
American at LAG pounds Of meat. This year, it is
estimated, he will account for 145, made up of so
pounds of beef, pounds of veal, 70 pounds of
pork, and pounds of lamb and mutton A decline
in available supplies of beef, veal, lamb and NUT
ton will be made up by an increase in the amount
of pork.
The American dining table will continue to carry
its share OF the good things Of life, and meat is
one CT them. The price must pay, when mea-
sured against the average increase in dollar in
come, will be fair and reasonable.

When the House passed the Illinois FEPC bill
last week we coored Americans one more
victory in quet for social political and econ
omca1 equality
But we must not allow the glory of this tri-
umph to intoxicate us to deter the function of
civil responsibilities toward winning absol-
ute Iteration. The attic is not yet over: it is still
going strong, and the passing Of this bill should
should spur rather than appease our in
sistence upon all our civil liberties. AS loyal
members CT the race and true Americans it
should be our expreed duty to adhere to our de-
termination to win complete freedom.
Some Of rs might be inclined to sit back SNUG
in the comfort Of our commonplace and eXclaim
"Well, at long last we've won the fight for equal
opportunities in employment. Our future is Sc
cured"
It isn't by long shot. Remember-the FEPC
bill is law which has been instituted agains

it has been officially decreed-they must com

Destroying The Highways

Every mOtOrist has personally seen the damage
done TO highways by heavy commercial
hicles. He has also personally paid part of the
bill for maintenance and repairs through higher
taxes than would have otherwise been necessary
Thomas H. Macdonald, Commissioner of Public
Roads, recently said, eff accept the principle
that highways are provided to serve the publc's
interest as whole; it reasonably follows that the
cost Of building and maintaining them must be
held at the level of true economy. This involves the
limitation of axle and wheel loads to those for
which the highways are designed The highway
user does not wish to pay for highways
to replace those destroyed by excessively heavy
loads i. The heavy truck operator is, or should
be, concerned because most certainly will be
held accountable for whatever damage these
trucks do -
What makes this particularly important is the
tendency of states to 1egaize heavier and heavier
foremost experts on the subject is convinced that
axle loads in excess of $4,000 pounds should never
be authorized Ket there has been an alarming
increase in the number Of vehicles in use with
heavier loads ranging up to the terrific figure of
$4,000 pounds You don't need an engineer to ex-
plain to you what carriers of that weight do when
they pound over our roads.
There has been remarkable growth in the
number and size of commercial trucks using public
highways Measures which will protect the roads
from excessive deterioration under such traffic
be adopted to protect all taxpayers from even
heavier levies for the highway funds.

Plenty OF Cars In Czechoslovakis

There's no trouble in buying a car in CzechoslaL

At a time when many people talk almost g1ibly
of the possibility of third world war, it is wise
to attempt to the cost of the last conflict.
Nothing resembling an exact accounting can be
made-there are too many imponderables and in
tangibles, which permit of only an informed guess.
One of the most thoughtful efforts to arrive at the
cost of World War II appears in Harpers Maya
zine for April 1t is written by c. Hartley Grattan,
who has long been a student of the economic i'm

Mr.. Grattan concludes that about lO,OOOOOO
members Of armed forces lost their lives The last
war unique in that civilians suffered heavier
mortality than did men in uniform The casualties

categories of civilians; the terrible death rate
among slave laborers; the losses in underground
movements these and other causes probably were
responsible for 100000 deaths. Thus, the total
human cost Of the was 40,O00o60.

extremely difficult ground. The most obvious and
easily-unearthed cost is the money actually spent
for military purposes by victor and vanqulshed.

were powerful enough to dictate
governmental appointments with
threats Of strikes, a new era Of
demagogues would indeed be at
hand. Such power would be po-
tentially disastrous.
Protect THE WEAPON of in-
Workers discriminate strikes
is one which labor
leaders alone control. Neither
government nor management pos
sess such a power. The rank
and file Of labor, too because Of
their organization, are subject to
the orders of those leaders. Many
labor leaders recognize this situa-
ton and act in farsighted man
ner. However, the selfish actioMs
Of any one leader casts unfavor-
able reflections on the whole
movement.
No more loyal group Of Ameri-
can citizens exists than the miners
themselves. It is sad irony these
people should suffer the brunt of
the strike. According to. the AS
ISOLATED Press, they will lose
about $68 million in wages during
the two weeks layoff. This means
$68 million in food, clothing, and
other essentials must be forfeited |
to the whims Of one leader who
was elected by workers to safe
guard their interests.
This points up sharply the need |
for adequate labor legislation. |
Without violating the rights Of |
labor, we must draw clearly the
line where those rights end and
national responsibility begins. The
average worker has everything to
gain in such legislation. Labor
must be accorded complete pro.
lection from irrespensibility -
found within its own leadership,
or elsewhere.
