carefully gathered information that most COM
modities are now in good current supply Perhaps
our greatest weakness lies in metals. because we
So dependent foreign sources for the huge
amounts need to keep great industrial machine
rolling in high gear. Certainly foods plentiful

COCOA AND COFFEE
Much of the "scqre buying" of foods has centered
and coffee, and with some excuse. Both
in tight supply. but there should be no
immediate strngency in either If abnormally heavy
buying is cut down at once Cocoa beans now in
the U. S may not suffice for all needs between now
and next fall when new supplies will arrive from
Brazil's mid-term crop. The consumption of cocoa
and cocoa products in this country has risen sharply
in recent years and is very heavy moderate,
voluntary cutback would not entail any great hard
ship.
The coffee situation is this: Owing to past neg
ec of the coffee plantations in South America, sup
plies are not much in of growing world con-
sumption Total U. S. stocks on hand and a6oat
do not compare very favorably with last year, and
we must admit that 1949 was not especially good

to such an extent that current and anticipated sup
niles might suffice But here again, the situation
does not justify further boarding.
NO NEED FOR SUGAR PANIC
Sugar in surplus supply June 25 when the
trouble began in Korea 1t still is in surplus supply
despite the buying rush of the past few weeks.
Cuban and Puerto Rican output is running above
1949 levels, while both beet and production
here in continental u S. exceeds year-agO totals by
a substantial margin. Only destruction of shipping
can cause shortage of sugar Hoarding, whether
by wholesalers retailers or consumers could create
temporary shortage. If this should push prices
too high, 1t could result in sugar price controls
and perhaps rationing; but not SO long as the war
is confined to Korea.

dents emergency plan and would also take
care of civilian growth" Here is simply
new version of the old story that only the
government can provide the electric power
we need. 1t is a story which is without a
grain of truth. Private utilities carried the
great bulk of the power load in the last war.
Since the war, they have undertaken the
greatest expansion program in their history.
They provide all the power in most of the
industrial regions where the factories cap

was put before the delegates by Mr..

This was at 4 p. m. Previously,
Mr.. Carpenter had led the fight for
an open ballot, stating in his argu-

elected by Republicans who ex-
pected them to stand up and be
counted.
Harvey H. Lawson, of MillsborO, a
strong supporter of Mr.. Duffy, op-

said the delegates should be per-

argued that the secret ballot was a
democratic procedure.
Robert H. Yerkes, Of Houston,

spoke of the Congressman as a
neighbor who often drops in on his
friends. Others to support Mr..

This done, Mr.. Killoran announc-
ed that the next nomination would
be that for attorney general. Mr..

convention by Mrs. Thomas Herli-

Mr.. Young's victory on the floor
was elean-cut. II was never close

The resolution opposing a secret

hand when his nomination was an
nounced after the tally had been

Business transacted at the recent
meeting and steps urged TO get
more appropriations for INDECENT
patients are being forwarded to the
Levy Courts of the various coun-
ties.
The Levy Courts are administra-
tors of public funds aimed at hos
pitfalls for INDECENT care.
Mr.. McClOskey's committee point
ed out that the present maximum
appropriations are usually exhaus-
ted before the end Of a year and
that the 81 allowance per day is
inadequate to cover the cost Of hos
pital care.
The association voted to request
Gov. Elbert N. CaTVel to include In
his budget request for the next
biennium the present approPFia-
ton of $500 a bed per year for the
seven general hospitals in Del
aware.
Each hospital administrator was
asked to advise Mr.. McCloskey of
the number Of beds in his hospital.
Under the plan, the hospitals with
the most beds get the largest
shares OF the appropriation.
In requesting legislation for in
creases in INDECENT care allOwan-
ces, the association will draw up
separate bills for each county The
three measures will then be intro

START CUTTING

The country has been told that the inter-
national situation makes it necessary to
place this nation on semi-military basis
and that taxes on both individuals and in
dustries must be substantially raised to foot
the bill Under those circumstances, the peo-
pie Of the United States, who will do the
paying, are certainly entitled ia demand that
wasteful and nOn-essential governmental
spending be eliminated and that our domes-
tic affairs be conducted with rigorous econ
omy But, if the planners have their way,
that viii not be done We will 60 merrily
on throwing away billions at home, even
while we spend incredible sums on our armed
forces and in assistance to the anti-Soviet
block Of nations. To take a single outstand-

BOARDING is FOOLISH
/ suspect that much of thi

so-called scare buying" which is
Just plain boarding, is being done by businessmen
who believe they are using foresight in piling up

H. Such heavy buying has already resulted in price

FEW REAL SHORTAGES
We have learned lot as a result of World War
II and hope we have learned that one Of the most
terrible things that could happen to us, in or out
OF wartime, is wild imitation Fortunately few civil
ian items are really in short supply today Actually
we have surplus supplies of many items. However,
the quickest way to change all that and to invite
disaster is to permit ourselves to be carried away
by foolish fears. Besides being unpatriouc and
ant-socal, the goods which were in shortest supply
during and after World War II may not become
scarce as result of the present conflict.
Holders of unreasonably OVer.arge stocks of
those items which do become critically short will al
most certainly have to give up the surpluses they
went to such lengths obtain Also note this Here
at Babson Park, economists are continually
