COFFEE:
SIT More

The recent zoom in coffee prices,
which jammed food stores with ex-
cited crowds of economy conscious
shoppers, will add a little over S11
to the average American house
holds coffee bill for 1850 unless
fewer or thinner cups are drunk
this year, says the family econom-
les bureau of Northwestern Nation
al Life Insurance company.
The retail rise in the United
States, averaging around % cents
a pound from midsummer to mid
December, parallels an almost
equal climb of approximately 81
cents pound in Latin-American
prices on green coffee, according
to the bureau.
AMOUNTING to over SO times
the cost of the coffee price rise, or
approximately $425 per year, is
the average U. S. family's share
of the 20-billion-dollar increase
since 1889 in our government an
nual non-military expenditures. the
bureau points out.
A yearly saving of $s6, directly
and indirectly, would be the aver
age family's share in the four bill
lion dollars which it is estimated
can be saved each year merely by
undermining and streamlining gov
eminent operations; this saving
would pay for the average house.
holds entire annual supply of 81
pounds of store-bought coffee,
even if the price went to 81 pound,
and still leave $35 for sugar and
cream, the bureau calculates.

BRITISH:
No, Thanks

Miffed because the world bank
wanted to know too much about its
operations, Great Britain's colon
ial development corporation with
drew its application to the inter-
national bank for a loan of five
million dollars.
The 280-million-dollar govern
ment corporation, set up in 1913
to foster colonial development, said
it wanted the loan to buy "indispen-
Sable" American-built land-clear-
ing machinery.
THE CORPORATION would have
been required to submit its de-
tailed budget to the bank for some
years ahead and would have had
to make quarterly statements
showing total assets, liabilities and
expenditures of each of its null
tiple operations.
Chairman Lord Trefargne told
newsmen the corporation would
buy the "second-best" machinery
constructed in Britain and Italy.
He declared the banks terms were
''too onerous." ....-.
The corporations projects now
underway included: j.
Agricultural developments in Bor-
neo, British Honduras, the Lee
ward islands, and Africa; forestry
and mineral projects in British
Guiana, and factory construction
in northern Rhodesia. Kenya and
Jamaica.

Sleep Habits Revealing

Since practically a third of ones
entire lifetime is spent sleeping,
this phenomenon properly engages
the attention of scientists.
As witness the conclusions by
Prof. Alfred Adler, psychologist,
that the person who sleeps on his

at attention, wants to be as great
as possible. The sleeper who curls

ably lacks courage.

FORMOSA:
ShulI We Intervene?

As the agitation for U. S. inter-
vention in Formosa grows, many
Americans will have a sharp flash
back Of memory to the days when
Anthony Eden and others were
urging boycotts against Mussolini
and the Japs as campaigns of con-
quest were getting underway.
Now, there are many important
U. S. officials and eX-leaders who
argue that the United States must
step in to keep Communist China
from swallowing up Formosa. Use
of armed force, if necessary, is
recommended to stop that move
ment.
LATEST TO JOIN with those ad-
vocating Intervention in Formosa
was Herbert Hoover, former pres
ident of the United States. He con-
tended that such policy was nee
essary to safeguard this country's
own security.
Hoover argued the U. S. should
use its naval power to protect not
only the big island stronghold of
Formosa but also lesser islands
which Chang Kai-shek's forces
were seeking to defend along the
south China coast.
He declared such a step would
"erect a wall against communism
in the Pacific" and offer a ICON
tinued hope of some time turning
China into the paths of freedom
again"
HOWEVER, the decision was
further complicated by British
stand that American China policy
would strain Anglo-American rela-
tons. Indications were that Britain
was just about ready to recognize
the Chinese Communist regime.
Always the practical realist, Brit
ain moves wherever her own best
interests dictate, or where she
thinks they dictate. Hence, for
the U. S. to lash out at the Chinese
Reds just when the British were
trying to WOO the Communist bust
ness apparently wasn't going to
sit well with Great Britain.

BUDGET:
Drive for BuIunce

According to house Republican
Leader Martin of Massachusetts,,
the United States government
should be able to live within its
income without raising taxes. That
of course meant that the U. S. ought
to be able to balance its budget.
MARTIN joined forces with Sen.
Robert Taft, of Ohio, who is on
record as saying he believes the
federal budget could be balanced
in fiscal 1851. The two lawmakers
are united in drive to attempt to
force the government to live with
in its income.
The project obviously had more
merit than chance for success, for
with congress predominantly DEM
ocratic, there would be little prob
ability of any great tax changes in
the matter of reduced operating
expenses.
All indications were that while
there might not be any tax in
creases, there certainly would be
little of tax reductions, despite ad-
ministration claims that the gov
eminent couldn't operate without
more tax revenue. Where the bal
ancing-up will come is problemat-
ical as yet.
TAFT and Martin outlined their
views as congress reconvened.
Both declared they would oppose
vigorously any administration re-
quest for increases either in cor
poration or high-bracket income
taxes.
Taft said he would not object to
a deficit of about two billion dollars
in 1851 if he were sure the govern
ment would get back into the black
in fiscal 1852. The deficit this year
is expected to run about SIS billion
dollars.

Montgomery County's Co-opera-

hundreds of volunteer workers
would be on the job during the
day. Others, he said. will help
during the coming week.
Mr.. King said a full week was
set aside this year so that more
county residents would be able to
help. Last year many buildings
were constructed by volunteers in
"a one-day stand.
Most of today's workers were
expected to be men skilled in
cinder block or brick laying. Later
in the week carpenters and other
workers will be needed.
BY next Saturday, center Of
f1cials hope most of the construc-
ton work will have been COM
pleted on an auditorium, addi-
tional livestock bars, a band shell
and beach houses. In addition,
equipment will be provided, and
electrical and plumbing services
extended in the center.
Officials estimate the center will
be worth 100000 when completed.
1t is valued now at $215,0O0.
