meat in normal fashion and avoid

American enterprise is capable Of
meeting any conceivable situation. In
the case of meat, the farmers and
ranchers are keeping up with the de-
mand. The packing industry, made VI
as it is of thousands of competing con-
Germs, provides the producer, on the
one hand, with year-round cash mar
ket-and the consumer, on the other
hand, with remarkably efficient and
low-cost service. Under these condi-
tions, there will be no shortages IN

to the consumer today is simply, "Usc

THE AMERICAN WAY
DISL0YAL
MIN0RITIES
By George Peck

There are some Americans
(thank God they constitute only
small minority of our total
population whose only thoughts
in time of war is how many dol.
lars they can make out of the
suffering, bloodshed and anguish
which armed conflict inevitably
visits upon mankind. These com.
parative few not only risk their
own necks thereby, but endanger
the lives and liberties of the
many, many patriotic citizens.
It is true that we are not yet
actually engaged in an about
war, but since the shooting start
ed in Korea, there have been
some American businessmen who
already have given evidence they
are thinking only of profits and
not OF service to America. Their
5elfishness, their lack of patrio-
tism jcopardizes the American
Way" under which they do bust
ness.
And also, unfortunately, there
are some American wage-earners
who, despite the grave emer'
gency, are still ASSESSED with the
unsound idea Of extracting the
utmost farthing in wages for
the least possible work done.
Then there are some American
politicians who, in these troubl-
Gus times, are still playing to the
gallery, giving more thought to
how many votes they can garner
next November than to the coun-
try's welfare. When the situation
calls for craftsmanship, they re-
sort to petty politics.
If the bad" boys among the
business fraternity wake up some
unhappy morning to find for
eign invader in possession of
their businesses. they will have
only themselves to blame.
If the greedy-wage earners an
sWers their alarm clocks some
forlern morning to find them
selves no longer free to work
when, where, and how they
choose, but forced to toll long
hours at starvation wages under
the lash of a foreign dictator
who but themselves will they b.
able to censure for that loss of
liberty?
If the American politicians
who continue to play politics as
usual, wake up on Wednesday
morning. November 9Th. after the
voters have gone to bat" to find
themselves out OF jobs, then in
deed justice will have been
served.
These minorities among the
businessmen, wage carriers and
politicians apparently are beyond
redemption. Appeals to their pat
'iotism. humanitarianism and al
,ruism fall on deaf ears. Perhaps
hey can be reached by appeals
to their greed and selfishness
With which human fraiities they
seem to be so richly endowed.
Surely, their selfishness, all de
cent motives failing, should die.

tate to them that this is a time
for about effort, about sacri.
fees, about expenditure of CAPT
tai, labor and craftsmanship on
behalf of America. If they
fail to recognize this self-evident
truth they are fools as we'll as
money-grabbers and power-seek'
ers, because they take the risk
of selling themselves down the
river, while they drag patriotic
citizens with them.
If even the selfish urge will
not deter them from risking their
own necks and imperiling ours
some way must be found To- make
them toe the mark. 1t is a crying
shame that in this hour of Ameri-
cas- great need, curbs and con-
trolls must be enforced upon al!
of us because of the greed and
avarice of the few who comprise
these disloyal minorities.

In a recent syndicated column,
David Lawrence Gays: "Whatever the
immediate significance of the Korean
war, a profound effect has been pro-
duced upon the long-range military
policy of the United States. Never
again can America depend on that mar
row concept of a one-weapon stra-
tegy."
MIR. Lawrence then raises some very
important points about which all our
people have been thinking. Who is re-
Sponsible for having deprived the
Navy of it's status as a effect in beine?"
Who took away from the United States
army it's own airplane units capable of
operating always with grouad troops?
Whose idea was it that land armies of
the United States could fight without
'earmored divisions of tanks?" Who
deprived us of overseas bases-float-
ing or fixed?

demnation of civilian or military Of

Two American pilots were lost

The other, an F-51 Mustang pilot,
was shot down near Kumchon,

there was no sign of the airman.

Both men were 5th Air Force
