MEAT NIGHTMARE"

IF the Government wants to develop
black markets, putting on meat ceilings is
the quickest way / know" Honestly, I'd like
to get out of the meat business at a time like
this" These remarks are taken from long.
tront-page feature article in recent issue
of the Wall Street Journal called "Meat
Nightmare" The men quoted are both retail
meat dealerS-one, an executive of a SUPER
market chain, the other the owner of a small
butcher shop. And their remarks are typical
OF those made to Journal reporters in 13 u
5. cities. What is the reason for this view?
Here is how the article explains it.: "It's a
matter of memory. They claim few Federal
rules have ever had better claim to the
title of most violated law than World War
lis meat Controls Rejecting how a hoard
Of Olack-marketeers drained meat from the
hands OF legitimate dealers who did try to
stick to the law, they hold that few statutes
have ever so penalized those who tried to
observe them. Official record backs them up
In February of 1916 lat the tail end of the
OPA er9, Senate committee SURVEYED re-
tail stores in IL cities from coast-fo-coast
and found five out of six charging abOve-ceil-
ing prices. With the black markets diVertino
meat from normal channels, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics made a similar check of
retail counters and found 85 per cent had
no veal; more than 80 per cent were without
pork lOins, ham OF bacon; almost 20 per cent
had no beef or lamb" Millions of consumers
also will remember that era when the black
marketeer prOspered, and most of us went
without our fair share of the meat. Let's not
nave history repeat itself in this easel

shared by members of the industry itself
who performed an excellent job last sum-
mer in campaign to eliminate boarding and
resultant false shortages"
What is true of food is true of distribu-
ton in general. There will be some short
ages as the strains of rearmament increase
that is inevitable. But few if any of the
prospective shortages will be in the field of
necessary goods. And America is lucky that
it has a vast retail industry which is geared
to distributing the produce of our farms and
factories throughout the country, in the
most equitable possible way, and at the most
moderate price to the consumer that condi-
tions permit.
The reason for the high efficiency of re-
failing is competition competition in price,
in service, and in all other ways Big stores
and small stores, chain stores and individ-
ually-Owned stores, super-markets and mail
order houses-all are out for the business.
All are doing everything they can to attract
the buyer.

THINGs ONE REMEMRERs

In these days when American history
seems to be stressed less than foreign politi-
cal doctrines in many quarters of our land
it is good time to take stock of men who
helped make this nation great and who put
principles above politics. For a moment,
think about Benjamin Franklin who was
born January II, 1706. A brief summary of
as. versatile an Individual is impossible. He
was fearless printer and publisher. His
services to America in England and France
rank him as one of the heroes of the Ameri-
can War for independence and as the great
est of American diplomats. Almost the only
American scientist of his day, he displayed
remarkably deep as well as varied abilities
in science and deserved the honors enthusi-
astically given him by the savants of Europe.
His experiment with the kite, proving light
ming an electrical phenomenon was perform
ed in 1852. But little could Franklin realize
how electricity would be developed to become
the greatest force on earth. Yet, it is high
time we rededicate ourselves to recognizing
great Americans and the blessings our own
country offers in free speech, free press, free
religion, free opportunity and the right to
own property.
Milford chronicle., 1951-01-26

are for building up the air force and the
navy to the limit, but they see no need for
ground forces of the size desired by the Adj
nlinistration. Both think that Europe has
been derelict in looking out for her own mili-
tary security. Both are convinced that we
can't save the free world by ourselves. And
Mr.. Taft made one very compelling point in
discussing the shipment of American sup
plies and troops to the Atlantic Pact powers
In effect, he said that one of two things will
happen in EUrOpe-either Russia will 90 to
war or she will not. In the first event, he
went on, the Kremlin will certainly not wait
until a powerful force has been organized,
trained and equipped to fight against her.
She will move while Western Europe is Vir-
tually pOWerless. In the second event-that
is, if Russia does not intend war-there is
no need for mobilization on vast level
Be that as it may, the HOover-Taft
speeches undoubtedly forced Mr.. Truman to
make some changes in his State of the Union
message. By implication, it was a reply to
their position. The President spoke in Very
general terms for the most part-though he
was unusually definite and Fortnight in his
description of Russia's policies and intent
but he made his stand plain. Europe he be-
ieves, is our bulWark. And, he said, the free
European nations have made considerable
progress toward building their defenses. This
last, many think, was the weakest part of his
speech. BlueprintS by the general Staffs
necessary as they are, are quite different
thing from trained and equipped armies in
the field.
At the mOment-and, of course, barring
more explosions in the world-the school
which favOrs all-out mobilization in a rush
is definitely in the minority The principal
spokesman for this is Governor Dewey the
titular head of the Republican Party. Dewey
favors military establishment even greater
than that we had in the last war, and what
amounts to a wOrk-or-fight policy for every-
one. But neither Congress, the Executive
branch, nor the other Republican leaders,
follow him in this. General Marshall out of
his wealth of experience as Chief of Staff in
the last wars, favors an orderly and gradual
mobilization, upon which, if necessary, a
total effort can be based. He clearly fears
the hurried creation of a great army before
we have the facilities and supplies to prop
erly train it. He also knows the dangers
that would be implicit in building a huge
military machine, and then having nothing
for it to do. The public, he feels, would tire
of the burden, and would go to the opposite
extreme of demanding rehabilitation to the
danger point.
On one thing all American spokesmen are
agreed-there is to be no appeasement this
time, no Munich. But, it must be said, that
is not true of all Europe. Much remains to
be done before we and our major allies will
be as united in fact as we are in theory

: An article by Greg MacGregor in the
New York Times deals with the views of
food distributors in the current emergency.
Three important points are stressed.
First, no food shortages are III prospect.
and food supplies and distribution are in a
far more favorable position than they were
prior to the last war.
Second, neither controls nor rationing are
necessary at the present time
Third, the public has adopted 'sanero

before existed in time of emergency. Mr..

WHERE ECONOMY is NEVER
MENTIONED

In one OF his recent columns, Frank r.
Kent dealt with the last annual report made
to the President by his Council of Economic
Advisers.
Here, lin part, is what Mr.. Kent had to
say: From the first of the reports several
thousand words to the last, the words econ
omy or saving do not occur. From start to
finish, it never once touches upon the idea
that the fiscal soundness of our position in
these days OF gigantic expenditures for de-
tense could be improved by sharply curtail-
ing non defense expenditures. Nor does It
touch upon the undisputable fact that we can
aid our allies only so long as we ourselves
are strong. Actually, the defenders of the
council have proclaimed its belief that nom
defense expenditures must increase along
with defense expenditures"
That is an accurate description of the
kind OF advice the President is being given
by the men who are supposed to keep him
thoroughly Versed on the economic realities
OF life in this chaotic era. It is a philosophy
OF spend and spend and spend" without
regard to what this will do to the econonnv
on which our military strength. like everv-
thing else, depends. Most irOnical of all is
the fact that many of those who want ever
rising non-defense spending, which is the
sureSt possible way to create runaway in
nation, are at the same time shedding GRO
codile tears about the upward trends of
prices.
Senator Byrd estimates that minimum
of $7,000,0G0,000 could be cut from next
years budget without touching any military
appropriation. Here is voice in the wilder
ness that must be heard if this country is to
survive in strength and freedom. But not
until the people, who are being forced by
ever-increasing taxation to a lowered stand
ard of LIVING demand an opd Of 11pDooocco,.ry
Federal spending, will they get any relief.

WEAKNESS OR STRENGTH

It is evident that a large and stubborn
clique in this government is still fighting for
all the costly proposals which would trans
form the country into a paternal state based
on the British socialist model. The vast ex-
pense Of this, of course, would simply be
piled on top of a military bOGret which may
run to S7O,OO0,OOO,OOO or more. A. J., even
argued that the strains of rearman1ent will
in themselves make extensive "social mea-
sures" necessary. Well, theory is one thing
and fact is often quite another And the evi-
dent fact is that the only way we can hope
to pay for full-scale defense without destroy
ing the value of our money is to cut out
every domestic tax expenditure that can be
avoided. And we must do this no matter
how II hurts, or what it does to the feelings
OF those who pine for the socialist Utopia
We cannot draw fast line between domestic
policy, foreign policy, and military policy
Ever-lncreasing imitation, and a steady de-
cline in the purchasing power of the dollar
could in itself undermine the military pro-
gram to disastrous degree. The politicians
talk about sacrifices. Let them start by sac
rihcing political programs which would sore
ly weaken us when we must be strong. The
only ones who are really sacrificing anything
are those in the armed forces.
