Milk Production Short

WORLD MILK production is only

quart every three days, just so per cent

ing to a new FOREIGN Agriculture re-
port, '.The Pattern of World Milk Pro
duction y
Annual world milk production is about
500 billion pounds. It should be about
1000 billion pounds to give each person
his minimum annual requirement of
400 pounds. Even distribution does not
exist, however In New Zealand each
persons share of the production is
nearly 5000 pounds. In Korea it's less
than pound. Between these extremes
are the other countries of the world.
Those in temperate climates. with
only 40 per cent of the population, pro-
duce IS per cent of the milk, more than
500 pounds per person. Production in
other areas AVERAGES onTv about so
pounds per person annually.

Consider the extraordinary situation
that the railroads of this country
face today.
Here is fundamental industry, per-
forming a service essential in peace
and irreplaceable in war; which
directly employs over one million
people; which provides, maintains
and improves, at its own expense,
the roadways and other extensive
facilities which it uses = and which
paws taxes on those roadwayS and
facilities. Here is an industry oper-
ating with constantly increasing
efficiency; which is conServatively
financed, with a steadily decreasing
total of fixed charges.
Yet here is an industry which earns
return on investment of only about
81 % = among the very lowest of
all industries; an industry SO re-
stricted by the application of laws
governing transportation that fire.
quently it is not permitted to price
its services on a competitive basis.

How can such a situation have
arisen i'm a nation devoted TO the
classic concepts OF free enterprise
and equal opportunity?
An important part of the answer is
clearly indicated by the recent re-
port of the Presidential Committee
on Transport Policy and Organiza-
ton created last year by President
This Committee con-
sisted of five members of the Presi-
dents Cabinet and two other high
officials. 1t was charged
with responsibility for making ga
review of overall
federal transportation policies and
problems.
The report of the Committee, re-
eased by the White House in April,
'pens with this sentence:
within the short span of one gen
Grafton, this country has witnessed
transportation revolution.
'.During this same period" the re-
port continues, government has
failed to keep pace with this change /
-. regulation has continued to be S
based on the historic assumption g
that transportation is monopolistic v

despite the -. growth of pervasiv
competition. The dislocation
which have emerged from this in
tensified competition, on the on,
hand, and the restraining effects o
public regulation on the other, have
borne heavily on the common
carrier segment of the Transports
ton industry.
I'm many respects, government
policy at present prevents, OF
severely limits, the realization of
the most economical use of our
transportation plant. .
To the end that all forms of trans
portation should be developed to
their greatest economic usefulness,
the Cabinet Committee recon-
mended, among other things, that:
Common carriers. - be permitted
greater freedom, short of discrimi-
natory practices, to utilize their
economic capabilities in the COM
petitiye pricing of their service. :"

The legislation recognizes that each
Of the competing forms of transpor-
Lation has advantages in handling
different kinds of shipments, NOV
ng between different points and
over different distances. 1t proposes
hat each type of carrier be given
he freest opportunity to do the job

ARE WE MATURED?
WHENEVER SOME statement pointing to

WHENEVER SOME statement pointing to our iInma-
tuity as a people is made we can scarsely resist the tempta-
ton to comment. Another such statement, this time from a
a well known and distinguished citizen, Antonio Jarvis,
principal Of the largest elementary school in the Islands, APP
peared in his regular column, Observation Tower Said
Mr.. Jarvis, we are still thinking as children and paupers
do. There are few issues of the papers which do not blame
other people for our ignorance or look for help from outside.
Evidence that we really want to pay our way is scant.'
THE QUESTION, therefore, is whether or not we, as a
people, are mature enough to tend our own business and
stand on our own mental and economic feet.
TO HIS QUESTION there can be no simple yes or
nc" answer. There are a number of factors involved, as this
paper has more than once pointed out, and these are sutti-
GENTLY important to affect the whole picture. Two of these
factors deserve mention here.
FIRST, THE MAN in the street, the citizen whose prin-
cipal concern is with making ends meet, OF the task at hand,
can almost be excluded from the children Of which Mr..
Jarvis speaks. Leadership IS largely responsible. Those who
have had the necessary exposure to education, travel, the
professions, those financially able, business, and the like,
have a tremendous responsibility because of their decided
advantage and their ability to dream and visualize the future.
To the extent that this group may not have faced its chal-
lenge, we agree. with Nj. Jarvis.
THERE ARE ALL sorts Of classic examples to which
one may point without fear of contradiction. For years and
wears. housing has been at a standstil, yet the combined
financial strength Of a few far-sighted men could have, with
relative simplicity solved the problem. Whole areas would
have been developed, work provided, and greater demands
created on the part of those especially in the low rent cate
gory) to live up to their new responsibilities.
MST. CROK, for example, land was used at its abso-
lutte minimum capacity, with thousands OF acres being used
, 1955-07-28

to support the smallest number possible. One does not need
to be an expert in economics to know that such use Of land
could result only in reduced standards of living and econo-
mic distress. The type of f~ar-sighted leadership from those
in control could have done much to change the picture.
AND HI CAN go on and on. The gBt Of the situation
is that those in a real position to help either misconceived
their leadership, or have limited their efforts within too mar
row a sphere.
SECOND, H Federal Government is not entirely
without its share of responsibility in this entire matter of
what is loosely spoken Of as maturity. To begin with, the
services of certain agencies were withheld, a colonial ati-
tude was taken in that certain positions and types of work
were restricted for contnentalS, with natives getting the i'm
preston that they were not a part and parcel Of anything
that took place. Programs were patterned after those on the
mainland when, in fact, there may have been no similarity,
and before many a project was on its way it was withdrawn.
BUT THINGS ARE beginning to stir, and it is not en-
tirely because Of the new Organic Act. More natives are
studying abroad and returning. They are comparing. They
are dissatisfied with conditions, and if a sufficiently large
number take action, then something may be done. With the
tourist trade, industries being attracted, desires and appetites
developed for more and better things, the result will have to
reflect itself in improved conditions.
WE MAY NOT be thinking as children much longer.
