Macarthur Quiz Speeds Defense
Activity

Defense is the big story in Wash
ingtOn today If the Macarthur
ruckus accomplishes nothing more
it can be credited with putting a
new head of steam on plans, pro-
curement and general preparation
for any attack anywhere that Rus
sia and her satellites may be able
to spring.
In taking issue with the Mac
Arthur ideas for conduct of the
Korean War, Cor whatever you
wish to call it, the Administration
has maintained the position that
its cOntainment policy was design
ed for the purpose of buying time"
or to quote the phrase of Defense
Secretary Marshall, gaining sore
ly needed time"
On the heels of this testimony
came the startling 'M-Day" speech
of President Truman, in which he
told 600 business leaders and the
Nation that a definite, concrete
plan" has been developed to meet
all military eVentualities. While the
President went on to express con-
fidence in victory for the U. S. and
the Free Nations, he went on to en-
phasize that the most dangerous
enemy we face is not Communism
in the Orient, or in Europe, nor in
datiOn at home, but relaxation" at
home.
SO it would appear to be square
ly up to the Administration to make
it more apparent that this "sorely-
needed-time," bought at such a
high price in American blood, is
being used to utmost advantage.
Thus it seems hardly a Coinci-
dence, that three days later, a fly
ing squadron including such au-
thorities as Defense Mobilizer
Charles E. Wilson, Economic Sta
bilizatiOn Director Eric Johnston,
OPS Chief Michael Disable and Com
merce Secretary Charles Sawyer
descended on the Hot Springs, Vir-
ginia, meeting of the Business Ad-
visOry Council. 1t was their mission
to explain to these representatives
of Americas leading businesses the
vital need for controls, to sell the

in the face of low pay and relatively poor
working conditions. And sO inevitably, Eng
land and Europe have had to turn to America
for supplies. This is an interesting and i'm
poFtant illustration of the difference between
socialized or regimented industry, and free,
competitive industry. Our mines lead those
of all other nations in every way-produc-
tiOn methods, wages paid to miners, safety,
and so on. Production is now at an extreme

Washington Letter ByLE Jones

business man could be, but that
they must prevail until the end Of
1862 when the Government will
have the Nations industrial force
at peak defense production.
And in New York on the same
day, Colonel A. E. Howse, general
economic advisor to Wilson told a
convention of engineers that mill
tary orders to date total q billion,
but by July 1852 will have grown
to "a billion.
In a plea to end the twilight
mood among the people today" he
predicted the maximum impact of
the defense program will be felt by
the end of the year, with the great
est scarcity of materials occurring
some months hence and bringing
the maximum threat of imitation.
We feel, however, that the "twi-
light mood" has been the mood of
Official Washington, and the mood
of the people has been that of be-
wilderment and confusion. So we
shall hope that both moods are
passing rapidly!

Beef Price Control
Nc Real Help, Says
Farm Economist

The new government regulations
on the price Of beef will not help
consumers get more meat, accord
ing to w. T. McAllister, market
ing specialist at the University of
Delaware agricultural extension
service. Speaking on the Delaware
Farm and Hc2sie Hour last week,
McAlister said, Eventually con-
sumers wiz either have an ade-
quate supply of beef at high prices,
or the amount allowed them by a
ration coupon at q lower price.
"Prices are high" he said, "be-
cause more people want. beef than
there is beef TO fill the demand.
Prices, in this case, act as a ra-
toner Of supply. When the price
goes high enough, some consumers
turn to less expensive cuts, or
meat substitutes, or get along with
less beef.
The Office Of Price Stabiliza-
tion is trying to use a more popn-
lar method of rationing by CON
trolling the price so more people
can buy beef, or buy it in greater
quantities" That would work fine,
he pointed out, if the supply could
be increased quickly to meet the
even larger demand that will re.
suit from lower prices. In fact, we
wouldn't need price control If the
supply was large or could be in
creased quickly.
"But the production Of meat is
a slow, biological process" Nc
Allister went on. Production just
can't keep pace with rapidly ex-
panding demand. Farmers were
growing more beef when the price
was going NJ. But the new regula-
tions viii take away this incentive
and even slow down production.
Already, growers have shipped
many lightweight and poorly finish
ed cattle to market to beat the

CRACKPOT THINKING

The nations capital is frequently the
source of amazing stories. And one of the
most incredible of all was carried by the
press associations under a Washington date
line early in April. 1t seems that staff ex-
perts of the HOuse-Senate Economic Com
mittee, which is studying initiation and re-
lated problems, suggested that a luxury
tax" be placed on meat. They added that
meat is really 3 luxury food" and so it
might as well bear special tax. This, to
put it mildly, is about as crackpOt an idea
as anyone has come up with in a long time.
It's only purpose can be to drive the Ameri-
can standard of living down toward subsis-
tence levels as rapidly as possible. If meat is
a luxury" then the vast majority of Amer
ican indulge in luxurious living every day
and many of them do it three times a day.
They don't all go in for T-bOnes by any
means, but they buy some kind of meat and
they relish it. Moreover, it has been scien-
tifcally proven that meat, because of it's
whole protein content, has direct beneficial
influence on the mental and physical health
of the individual. It makes for strength,
stamina, and mOrale-a face which was dem
OnstTated on a mass scale in the Army dur
ing the last war, when the military diet con-
tanned an unusually high proportion of meat.
Other established discoveries show that meat
is of the greatest value in many kinds of ill
ness, and in a high percentage of prenatal
and pOstnatal cases. 1t is good to report
that the committee itself did not endorse a
luxury tax" on meat. Apparently the men,
bers, who are responsible to constituents
with the power of the ballot, had better
sense. But the fact that alleged "staff ex-
perts" even suggested such tax, casts a
great white light on some of the thinking
that is going on in the nations capital where
laws are made and policies established.

OPS deadline, and that cuts our
potential beef supply"
In conclusion, McAllister pointed
out that we have still not found a
way to manipulate the laws of sun
ply and demand successfully.

DON'T LET THE DRAFT WORRY You

the same as if war were possible. Congress is

forecast Moreover those who are drafted are about
as safe as those who stay at home; while the $50

which the non-drafted boys will not have.

you will become an employer some day instead of
always remaining a wageworker will largely be de-

She really told me!

When I met my neighbor at the
grocery store, our conversation
drifted naturally to the subject
OF food. She's an older woman
than I, with three healthy,
groWn-up children, so you can
imagine how I value her advice
when it comes to nutrition and
cooking. And there was one
thing that really surprised me.
For years." she began, "Ive
served my family vegetable
soup at least three times a
week. Not just ordinary vege-
table soup, but a mixture of
more than a dozen fresh, gar
den vegetables"
But" interrupted, at takes
hours to buy and prepare so
many vegetables!"

course not, it takes just minutes

gled in tasty, nourishing beef
