HAND TO MOUTH

Under the hard-wOn blessings of political
and economic freedom, our competitive, free
enterprise system has developed genius
for production never before seen in the world.
More efficient production is the goal of every
enterprise from the family farm to the larg
est industrial operation. AS a result of this,
we enjoy the highest living standards in the
world. But it's a fact not fully recognized
that mass-distributiOn is fully as necessary to
our material well-being as mass-prOductiOn.
Goods of all kinds must quickly and eff
GENTLY be made available to the people who
want them. Now days practically all of us
live from hand to mouth. Reserve food sup
plies are virtually nOn-eXistent in the average
household An endless supply of fresh and
prepared foods in immense variety is always
available at the local grocery store just few
minutes away.
A study by National City Bank shows that
for the 18 year period of 1932-1950 the aver
age net profit of food chain stores was IA
per cent of sales. Last year "a chain food
companies showed average net earnings of
only per cent. Profits in different lines of
merchandising naturally vary. Food stores
selling high volume of staple goods earn
the least per unit sold. Other retailers Oper-
ating with lower sales volume or whose
goods may be affected by seasonal or style
changes must earn a higher rate of return
But in nearly every case the cost to the con-
sumer for the invaluable services the ma
Z tiOn's retailers perform is Enthusiastically small

DON'T STINT THE FEED!

"You don't make milk by stinting on the
feed"
That was the theme of a recent address by
Secretary of Commerce Weeks in which he
dealt with the financial problems of regulated
business. This top official said, III the regu-
lated industries are to render their full ser
vices to the nation, it is my judgment that
the regulatory bodies must allow earnings
ADEQUATE to attract and support the equity
capital they can use effectively for economies,
improvements and growth e. the courage
and inventiveness that risks great sums for
improvements and economies in the future
does not naturally emerge from men who
have not the credit to raise the money nor
the assurance that they would be allowed a
return on it when their dreams come true" J"
The railroads are perfect case In point.
Over many years the return on their invest
ment has averaged four per cent and IN some
years it has been much smaller. Thus, they
have not found it possible to attract the capl-
tai they need for improvement and expansion
to better serve the shippers and travellers OF
this country.
The railroads have carried on billion
a-year improvement program by drawing
heavily on their reserves and by sharply in
creasing their obligations. But it is obvious
that there is limit to how far they can go
in that direction.
The only solution, and it is solution
which is purely in the public interest is to
permit them earnings sufficient to attract the
necessary capital-in other words to stop
''stinting on the feed

END on THE MIDDLE Glass

Perle Mesta, formerly American minister
to Luxembourg, recently made an extended
visit to Russia, and wrote a series of articles
about her experiences. In one of them, Mrs.
Mesta said, wherever | moved was amazed
to see how Russia was divided so sharply into
two broad classes-the rich who had much
and the poor who had little Everything in
Moscow seemed to contradict the Communist
stories of the classless society which the
Russians were supposed to be building. About
all they seem to have achieved has been to
wipe out the middle class, leaving the two
extremes as great or greater than ever"
At one extreme Mrs. Mesta saw legiOns
of ragged peasants and workers, living at
bare subsistence level. At the other she saw
luxury shops which can be patrOnized only
by the elite, and a rOOf-tOp restaurant where
a dinner for two costs 120 rubles The average
Russian worker earns 600 rubles month!
All the fne-spun theories nOtwithstand-
ing, there are more class distinctions and more
social and economic oppression of the masses
under communism and the other tOtalitarian
systems than the world has known in cen
turies. The few have every luXury-and the
many have barely enough for survival. Star
walton, Imprisonment and liquidation await
those who protest. This is what always
happens when people give government vast
and ever-increasing power over their lives.

Including record farm stocks, total
supplies will easily suffice for
l953-1954 requirements. Yet both
HaXseed and sOybean prices may
work little higher as the season
advances.
A Glance At Fall Crop Prospects
Last summers long, hot, dry
spell cut the nations corn prospects,
but not enough to cause real con-
Germ. The indicated crop of around
5000, 100000 bushels is slightly
under the 1852 Outturn, but still
SO above the 10-year average. It
should suffice, since the carryOver
was of average size. The support
price of $1.6O a bushel (national
average) will ease marketing pres
sure. Later in the season, the price
support program and the prevailing
favorable feeding ratio may result
in somewhat higher average prices.
The edible dry bean crop this year
probably will be in the vicinity of
/ 17,730,000 bags 600 pounds each)
only slightly under the 1O-year
average, and will easily go around.
Prices are under seasonal pressure,
but should recover over the longer
term. The U. S. potato crop of close
to 374,00O,0OO bushels is about go
below the 10-year average, but we'll
above normal domestic cOnsump-
ton. My June forecast of a big
U. S. rice crop is being we'll borne
out; in fact, it will set a record
high. Current price weakness in
both pot9tOes and rice should be
fOllOWea by some recovery over

Britain Bows
We have just run across some
good news for those young people
who are campaigning for bike for
Christmas. The British Ministry of
Transport has officially urged
English bicycle manufacturers to
copy the old, familiar American
internal-eXpanding cOasterbrake as
a safety measure.
Following a long and heated
debate on highway safety in the
House of Commons, in which faulty
British bicycle brakes appeared to
be a major hazard, the Minister of
+ Transport, Mr.. Alan LennOx-BOyd
told the House he had declared to
issue a regulation as soon as
possible making the carriage OF
two Hcient brakes compulsory on
all bicycles, whether old or new
To the manufacturers he said: Use

BABSON Discusses the 1853 CROP SITUATION

New Boston, N. H., Nov. 5. Early
last summer l discussed the 1853
crop outlook, which then was more
or less tentative. Now the overall
situation is more clearly defined.
Despite the vagaries of summer
and early fall weather, the outlook
is for the third largest total pro-
ductiOn Of record.
Nature Already Has Been Kind
Most of my earlier crop forecasts
have been we'll borne out. For
instance, another billiOn-bushel-
plus wheat crop already has been
harvested, with much to spare.
Total supplies for the 1953-1954
season would, in fact, prove ex-
tremely burdensOme were it not
for the Government support price
of 1921 a bushel (national average
at the farm. Wheat farmers are
taking good advantage of the loan
which means that prices may aver
age somewhat higher. The gimmick
however, is this: An official curl
on 1854 acreage! The piper must
be paid!
BelOw-average crops of barley
oats and rye have been harvested
grains should suffice for indicated
requirements. Higher prices should
rule over the longer term. The
fiaxseed crop of 39,O11,OOO bushels
is slightly above the 1O-year average
and will prove fully adequate. AL
though drought sharply reduced
soybean prospects, the indicated
U. S. outturn of 259, ,483,00 bushe

the longer term.
Cotton Crop

the longer term.
Cotton Crop
My earlier cotton forecast that
a large crop would be planted,
despite the Governments request
for a sharp cut, is being fully
realized. The indicated yield Of
15,596,OOO bales compares with the
1942-1951 average Of 12,215,O00
bales. Including the August I carry
over of 100000 bales, total supplies
for the 1953-1954 season will be
around 21,10O,O0O bales, or about
10,0O0,000 bales above indicated
domestic consumption and exports.
A lot of cotton planters will demand
Government loans this season.
Cotton farmers will pay for this
splurge by a sharp cut in the 1854
national cotton acreage allotment.
Farm Price Outlook
Although 1 expect total cash
receipts from farm marketings to
decline moderately in 1854, they
still will be sizable. Farmers on
the whole should continue to pros
per. However, certain sections, like
Kansas, the dairy states and parts
of the Southwest, are suffering. The
problems of farm surpluses and a
workable and fair price support
program remain unsettled. Hard
work. cost cutting. promotiOnal
programs, and a putting of the
national interest above that Of any

he said, were probably increasing
abroad.
Less than two weeks before,
Defense Secretary Charles E. Will
son had said that use of the new
atomic weapons, some of which
have already been ordered shipped
overseas, might permit a decrease
in American troops serving abroad.
Mr.. Wilson thought such reduction
could be accomplished "Over a
reasonable period of time" The
Defense chief did not give any dates
Since it appears that the Secre-
tary's words were considered by
our Western European allies as
bad news, it might be that the
Presidents reinsurance was for
their benefit rather than ours. And
it would also look as though we are
making no progress in the an
nounced intention of furnishing
NATO with the tools" and grad
ually withdrawing American boys
in favor of European nationals.
We think Mr.. Wilson's trial
ballon should have been allowed to
gain at least a little more altitude
before being shot down.

Benson Stands Fast

Another march on Washington"
has had it's little hour in the lime
light, and has gone home. Three
hundred and fifty cattle-men from
80 states, under the sponsorship
of the Farmers Union, failed in two
conferences to move Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson from
his announced policies.
Mr.. Benson intends to continue
fighting for adjustments in the
present pTice-supOrt program to
meet basic economic and peacetime
needs in the best interests of all
the farmers. He will resist the
extension of high, rigid price
supports to all kinds of farm com
mOdities, with the conviction that
such a program is not in the long
range interest of the farmer. And
he will resist pressure from special
pleaders.
Mr.. Benson told the press that
the cattle-men didn't present a
plan" they just wanted price
supports under cattle" He said
that he did not know of any work
able price-suppOrt plan for such
a perishable as cattle, and wouldn't
support any plan that is not iii the
interest of the farmers" The
Governments present meat pro-
gram-beef purchases, disaster
loans and cut-price feed-was work
ling we'll, he said. He also pointed
out that of % farm and livestock
organizations queried on live
cattle price-suppOrts, Is were Op'
posed, one nOn-cOmmittal and only
