Victors and Victims

Republicans have made much of
Eisenhower's farm victory" in the
83rd Congress. Since ''you must have
victim whenever you have a victor,
who then was the victim in that farm
'victory'?" Rev. Shirley Greene, NFU
director of Inter-Group Relations,
asked those in attendance at the
convention last Friday evening.
Taking another view of what Sec
rotary of Agriculture Benson calls
'unmanageable surplu 81, Rev.
Greene pointed out that Sc billion
in surplus foods amounts o.less than
$40 worth of food reserve for each
and every American-or about
months supply for each of 100 mil
lion people.
And, while we may have little
reserve at this time, Rev. Greene
continued, our population is grow
ing at rate which indicates that
where we had four plates at the
table in 1850, we'll have five in
1875. To feed our rapidly increas-
ing population he emphasized,
we're going to have to have even
higher production schedules than
the full production we're so con-
cerned over now .
There is not enough food in the
world" the Congregational minister
continued, "to provide an adequate
diet for all the people in the world"
and that shortage, rather than So
called SURPRISES should be our prime
worry in carrying on our fight for
freedom and democracy throughout
the world.
AS for parity in the market
place., Rev. Greene said there are
only two ways it can be obtained:
L: There must be monopoly of food
supply (such as could be engineered
BY comparatively few large cor
ooration farms), 2. Another world
war.
PARITY
parity is a cost-of-living ratio"
Rev. Greene said. "When the cost
If living goes up, parity goes up.
When the cost of living comes down,
parity comes down. l can't see any

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Almost 500 years have passed
since a French King started a
strange custom. His name was
Louis XI, and he occupied the
first Bed of Justice.
Instead Of being kept in the
Kings bedroom. this bed was
placed where the French Parlia-
ment met. Here, while propped
up on cushions, the monarch
gave orders to the mobiles and
officers of government.
The princes of France were al
lowed to seat themselves in chairs
near the bed of justice. Mobiles
and high officers stood up. Lesser
officers knelt on the floor.
That custom was followed by
later kings. 1t was brought to an
end by the French Revolution.
Another French King. Louis
XIV, owned Alb beds.
Not only in France, but in other
lands az well, 1t became common
