Letters to The Star =.

dren as terrible tragedy to be accepted,
and Of life as grand horrible struggle.
They will learn to hope that through
death and certain religious rituals they
can pass to place of eternal bliss
where none of the joys of civilization
are available.
Also, in educating the Eskimos control
of them and their country can be taken
over by people with greedy interest
in making profit from helping them. We
should see how noble it is of our country
and Britain to civilize the other coun-
tries, enriching ourselves and turning
the natives into subjects for reform
schools and insane aSylums. And when
there is war. it is nice to think that
these peace-loving people, as civilized
people. will have to get in the fight and
suffer and die for the sake of civilization.
Mary Davidson.
Subsidizine the Farmer
Why should one class Of taxpayers in
this country be taxed for the benefit of
another special group? If all the old
fashioned shoemakerS (who made shoes
came upon hard times and couldn't make
a decent living; if the formerly familiar
blacksmith shop is missing and the
former occupant finds it hard to support
his family by working at something he
knows little about; if any particular class
should find it difficult to make a decent
living at their former occupation, would
it be reasonable to expect the Govern
merit to levy special tax on the rest
Of us for their support?
I believe most people would answer
mo" to those queries. Yet that very
thing is what we are doing right now.
All Of sudden, few years ago, some
body discovered that the farmer-most
farmers-have a hard row to hoe and
very little chance of getting rich. So
what do we do? We tax ourselves to
raise money to buy the farmers products.
at an artificially high price. which high
price paid by the Government also forces
us to pay another artificially high price
for those same products, If we wish to
buy them for our own use.
On top of this very silly arrangement,
we then either destroy or allow to rot
enormous quantities of that good food.
Back off and look at it, Brother. Isn't
1t a senseless thing to do?
And here is the funniest GU part Of
the whole thing: The farm organiza-
tons leaders say they don't want any
subsidy on anything.

not trade directly on the money credit
Of the Federal Government.
The second big legal question before
Attorney General McGrath Is this: Can
the commission spend up to $50. 900 in
a survey to determine whether labor
and industry are sufficiently interested to
put up the cash to make the Freedom
Fair a success? This survey would bring
out just how much exhibit space can
be sold as hard-boiled business propo-
sition.
It is interesting that Attorney General
McGrath is himself former member

'CounseIs of Mediocrity'

In your editorial "Counsels of Medioc-
rity" april l. 1950) found myself ac-
cused of urging teachers of composition
to forgo Charles Lamb in favor of Bat
ten, Barton, Durstine and Osborn" This
rather amazed me, since the author of "a
Dissertation Upon Roast Pig" is an old
favorite of mine. whereas am quite un-
familiar with the advertising business
and usually disguised with whatever ad-
vertising copy happen to read.
What I actually told the English
teachers was something entirely differ
ent. pointed out-fully agreeing with
you and Robert Penn Warren-that
Il am extremely skeptical about the pos
sibility of teaching anybody anything
about how to form literary style"
Therefore. suggested that composition
teachers should buckle down to the more
humble task of raising the general stand
ard of the writing their students will be
called upon to do every day. After all.
If new Charles Lamb should rise among
us, his prose style will surely not be the
product of classroom teaching. So why
not concentrate on the tremendous mass
of unreadable prose put out by the rest
of the population?
should have thought that The Star
surrounded as it is by sea of federalese
iargon-would see the merits of my
simple suggestion.

Parliamentary Procedure

Was the refusal to give Senator
Mccarthy the opportunity to question
Mr.. baltimore just parliamentary pro-
cedure? 1t certainly does not seem con-
stitutional.

Editors Note-Senator Mccarthy is
not member of the Foreign Relations
Subcommittee, and therefore-under
Senate rules-may not examine wit
nesses. He may, however, put ques-
tions to them through other subcom-
mittee members)

Q. Why is the tide so high in the Bay
Of Fundy?-V. M. G.
A. 1t is due largely to the configura-
ton Of the bay When tidal wave from
a deep water enters broad deep river
mouth or bay and spends its energy up
a narrow channel at the far end, the
momentum of the water forces tre-
mendous mass of water inland.
@. Is the voluntary Is per cent In.
crease still allowable under present rent

A. The provision under the 1947 Rent
Control Act. making possible the ac-
ceptance of the is per cent voluntary
increase ceased with the expiration Of
the provision on December 81, 1948.

THIS WEEK
SHORT SHORT

ANDY sat on the edge of his bunk, his big
IA feet set wide and his thick hands clasped
and his face furrowed with thought, with
worry And four or five of the crew sat around
watching him, waiting for Carl to start it up
again on this, the last night out Carl was
leaning against the bulkhead smiling little
in his sharp way. you got it figured out YETI"
he said Got the arithmetic all straight"
Andy opened his hands. He studied their
palms. He closed them again. He said moth
ing. He smiled in helpless sort of way.
"A case of brandy you got" Carl said.
Good French brandy. Cost you twenty
bucks in Marseilles A bargain, you said.
You an the missus like brandy, little nip
after dinner" He waited until the laughter
died. You got any idea what the duty'll be?"
..Wen." Andy said. He shook his head
slowly. mot much, maybe" He sat there
like great bear at the batting, taking his
punishment, wishing it would stop, knowing
no way in which to avoid it. Maybe not
much, he said again.
'IHE stuff sells for six, seven bucks
bottle" Carl said "You paid less than two.
The difference is duty. Say five bucks on
twelve bottles, sixty bucks. You got sixty
bucks for that?"
Andy was thinking of the little apartment
out in Brooklyn, of Minna, of money in the

at Carl and shook his great head slowly.
That wouldn't be honest, he said. IF they
got law" The laughter smothered the
rest of it, and he sat there patiently waiting
for it to die. His thick hands were clasped
again. There was no use trying to explain.
WOULDN'T be honest!" Carl was saying.
That's the only reason! You hear him?
Wouldn't be honest! III tell you what I'll do.
I'll lay you ten to one you couldn't get that
case through Customs if you tried. How's
that? Ten to one. You think it over"
Andy sat alone on the edge of his bunk,
and stared down at his hands, at his feet, at
the deck itself. And two of the many ships
cats came in and saw him and eyed one
another warily and climbed up onto his great
knees and sat there singing at him. He rubbed
them idly and spoke to them in low voice,
taking pleasure from their companionship,
while his mind walked slowly around and
around his problem, thinking of Minna, of
brandy, of Customs, of Carl and of Carl's bet
And the cats, his friends, sang on. as if they
were talking to him, telling him something,
telling him - His big hands stopped in their

stroking He stared at the cats. They sang
on, and Andy was smiling, and his mind was
at last at rest. =.
They docked in the morning. They finished
their jobs. In the fo'c's'le, Carl cornered him
again, and the rest of the crew gathered
around, grinning Gonna take my bet?" Carl
said. ''Ten to one? And some of the other guys
want in, too. How bout it,"
WELL" Andy said. His hands were deep
in his pockets He looked at Carl and he
looked at the others. and he looked at the
case of brandy on his bunk. Slowly he nod
ded. He pulled out small leather purse.
II got fifty dollars" he said.
HE bosun held the stakes. Ashore, in the
bar across the street from the Customs shed.
And they all crowded against the window to
watch Andy, with sea bag and suitcase, in
shore clothes come ponderously down for his
inspection. And they waited. hearing moth
ing of the talk.
The Customs man went through the sea
bag. He patted Andy. He reached for the
suitcase. Andy said, II can't open that"
"So?" The Customs man was smiling.
