1t seems as if practically everybody has
had something to say about the meat situa-
ton. Government officials say one thing.
Representatives of the livestock producers
and other element of the meat industry saw
another. Spokesman for consumer proups
say still another. Quite naturally, these
statements are often in complete contradic-
ton. So large part Of the public, interested
as II IS in the meat controversy, has lost
sight Of few fundamental facts. The gov
efnment can set the legal price at which
meat is sold at wholesale and retail The
government can issue orders rolling back
the price Of meat by some arbitrary per-
centage. The government can threaten law

OPA days is sufficient evidence of that. In
normal times, no one sets the price of meat
1t is determined by the ever-changinq con
ditions of a supply and demand market
Now the government is attempting to set
the price and the troubles are setting in.
For the truth is that these controls ALWAYS
lead to rationing, black markets, insanitarv
practices, and less meat for most consumers.
One Of the main ways to stabilize meat prices
is to encourage productionv-to develop a
sound balance between supply and demand.
And that's what present government poll
cies are failing to do.

The latest census study COM
lpares figures for diamond imports

periods, from 1885 to 1899 and
from 1945 to 1949.
During the last five years of

carats, having a value of $145.7
million. Marriages for the same
period numbered 6.8 million.
Ten years later, things were

lion carats of diamonds, worth
l$540.4 million. A good proportion
of these went to adorn the fingers

Thus" concludes the census
