A Costly Failure

The recent announcement that the Depart
ment of Agriculture will abandon its egg price
support program on January marks the end of
costly experiment that has ended in dismal
failure
This experiment. extending over period Of
about four years. has resulted in loss to the
Government of approximately $145 million. Or,
more accurately, this much money has been
handed over to the egg producers at the expense
of the taxpayers as whole. And all that remains
to show for it are the vast and virtually useless
stores of dried eggs-nearly 5000, 100000 eggs in
all-that the Agriculture Department bought
up in this effort to support prices
There remains the question of why this prof.
ect failed. The answer is simple. It failed be-
cause the egg producers, knowing that the Gov
eminent would buy their eggs at fixed price,
refused to reduce their production to reasonable
levels. And this points up the problem that will
plague any attempt to support prices of perish
able commodities by whatever name it may be
called AS long as the producer sees what he
thinks is guaranteed profit he is not apt to VOL
UNFAIRLY limit his production And if he will not
do this voluntarily, no support program can sue
ceed unless accompanied by drastic regimenta-
ton. This, in turn, is something that the farmer
does not want and will not accept-at least IN
times Of relative prosperity.

This and That
By Charles E. TroceWeU

Politics becomes real, when one talks
to the neighbors about it.
A little anger, now and then?
Good!
Anger. too. is part Of life.
The great danger to the individual
today is that he will not see, for himself,
enough of life.
There are so many marvels blocking
us from meeting people.
We pick up a gadget and talk to them,
but we do not see them. We have be-
come SO used to talking to people over
wires that we no longer realize the voices
> take on wire quality, too.
Our singers we take by electricity. and
our comedians.
Electricity. great as it is, still marvel
of marvels, should not be allowed to
block us off from real contacts.
No group of people ever had to meet
this problem before.
In the old days it was only time and
space that kept them from others.
Now that we have ways Of overcoming
space, we feel more than ever the need
for keeping in touch with the reality Of
the everyday.
How to do it?
Walk around.
Evening star., 1950-11-27

It is the primitive solution to modern
problem.
The plea for walking more Is not based
just on the doctors advice, or the physi-
cal man.
It is more than ever a need Of the
mental man.
All manner Of rushing around in cars
and planes and trains will not overcome
the deep-felt want Of the need to catch
people at their commonest level.
We are on dress parade at too many
levels.
We cannot find the heart of humanity
that way.
It is precisely because we have lost
touch with each other, on the earth level.
that the world has built UP in the past
so years innumerable walls of hate,
blocking us all apart, making us too
willing to harm and hurt.
We have travelled faster. but not so
far to our own good. In moving farther
to less purpose, we have hurt the uni
versal design of the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man.
How are we ever going to right things,
unless by meeting people on the same
level? But not with guns in our hands.
Somebody has to think up new way Of
peace. If peace is ever to amount to any
thing again.

A Matter of Common Sense

Common sense justihes the Anglo-Canadian-
American decision to release hitherto secret
data on low-power nuclear reactors AS partners
In the wartime development of the atomic bomb
Britain, Canada and the United States have
been conferring periodically on the problem of
how to declassify restricted information without
endangerng security. 1t is not an easy problem,
but in this instance two considerations have
suff1ced to make it fairly simple.
The first of these, as explained by our own
Atomic Energy Commission, is that continued
secrecy regarding the type of reactors involved
can serve no useful purpose and that the data
to be revealed will not assist rival nations
(meaning particularly RUSSIA in the develop
ment of the atoms military applications. And
the second consideration is this: That the
release of the information will promote and
hasten the training of engineers and technicans
IN the field OF nuclear energy and will help
Britain, Canada and the United States to develop
that energy for peacetime purposes especially.
This speaks pretty much for itself. If atomic
secrets" can be released without dropping hints
OF military value to a potential enemy, they
ought to be released This is so for the fairly
obvious reason that as many as possible of our
technical-minded people should be informed on
the subject. Certainly, the more that is known
about the atom in both our educational and
industrial institutions the greater will be the
number of Americans who can contribute effec-
lively to the advance of our nuclear science for
purposes of either war or peace.
knowledge, after all, is power. We cannot
keep ourselves forever in the dark about i'm
portant atomic information without cultivating
an ignorance that could be our undong. There
are limits to self-imposed secrecy. When we
f1nd-as in this case-that secrecy does us no
good whatever, we ought to get rid of it, and
the sooner the better. Otherwise false en-
phasis on national security can contribute
materially to our insecurity.
