GEORGES. BENSON L Pra ideal?Mardiay Celteff I Surry Jriaaiae Meat Control Collapse and failure recently of government control over an impor ' tant commodity, required in the daily lives of the people, points up an important moral for Americans. In lettering bold and poster-size, amounting to handwriting on the wall, this moral shows that we are not ready for this kind of regimenta tion in peacetime. We may re-enact the plot again with new characters at some future time, but the result will surely be the same. This we must know before more harm is done: A controlled econ omy is not compatible with Amer ican democracy. The real reason for complete failure of meat control lies in the fact that Americans have been brought up on a free market. They have found the greatest sort of freedom in this kind of economy. They desire no substitute. Few Old Cows Prices the government allowed for hogs and cattle on foot were not high enough to induce farmers to sell their animals. Early in October the New Fork Times sent a reporter into the heart of the Texas cattle country. Trailing buyers at Fort Worth for both major and independ ent packers, the Times reporter saw them bid OPA ceilings and come away with only a "few old cows" out of 8,700 head of beeves listed that day. Choice animals were "grabbed off" by traders at prices in excess of ceilings, while 7,000,000 beef cat tle continued to roam the southwest Texas range. Like any man who successfully in vests capital and puts hard work into an enterprise, the cattle raiser Is trail taught about markets. But a controlled economy puzzlas him first, muzzles him later. The farm er, like the manufacturer, has learned to watch markets: to buy and sell advantageously in an hon est, competitive market. And in our land we have found that the con sumer, who buys the food and manu factured goods at lower prices, is best protected by this same tree market. Pallors Recognised Why could a black market existT The public wanted meat badly enough to pay more for it than the ceiling price. I am not condoning' discs markets, but It needs to be said that this one was a general revolt against price controls on meat dur ing peacetime, when the public knew the country had more livestock than usual. The failure of controls was dismal, and the entire population recognized it. Some folks, prompted by Commu nistic thinking and desiring to de stroy freedom of opportunity, blamed the failure on the packing houses. People who know nothing of the facts may believe that accusa tion. The facts sre that prices pack ers could legally pay did not bring livestock to market. Neither did a few men in Congress cause the farm ers to withhold hogs and cattle. It was not the "feebleness" of the law, but the law itself, that turned a free market into a black market. Dynamic is the word for our American economy. It cannot be trammeled down at one point and bludgeoned at another, at the whim of some far-away controller. Nei ther can you expect It to by-pass the bottlenecks ef government con trol, using the laws of honest eco nomics with which it is familiar? without disastrous results to the American way of life. F.B.I. Asks a Count In Europe the past summer I was made to understand an important tact. Consistently I was informed by labor leaders, government of ficials, and industrialists in all of the eleht countries I visited that the most disturbing element in each na tion was the Communist element In every country the confusion wrought by the Communists was quite disconcerting. In England, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland the Communist element was not large in number. But it was well organized. Apparently the movement was receiving funds from abroad in each country, for a cam paign all out of proportion to actual size of the organization waa in progress. In francs, although the Communist party is not the larg est, it has the best organization and is recognized as the strongest single party in France. Hew About America? Confusion, today, is not confined to Europe. In America we have been having a lot of confusion. We are facing the most serious industrial problems in our history. Though the war has been over for IS months, our industry is still dragging badly. Production, in nearly every field, is disappointing. But an abundant by product is confusion, and more con fusion. Industry wants to produce, for that is the only way it can make money. Some of our largest manufacturing establishments have actually lost money instead of making money in the past twelve months. Industry is not pleased with this situation, and I cannot believe they are pur posely trying to keep it that way. Labor finds it difficult to live on cur rent Income. Labor's need is wages, and I cannot believe that labor as twhole wants confusion, work stop iges, and light production. Does the aovernment want to hln dcr production? Surely it want* tho people to have food, clothing, trana pertatloa, and houaing. Yet, whan we have every reaion to believe that labor, industry, and government want production, we are not getting production. Deapite the desire et the three groupa to avoid confuaion, yet we have confuaion confounded. A Growing Menace J. Edgar Hoover, many yeara head of the Federal Bureau of In veaugation, a trusted citizen and public servant, la in a position to understand perhaps better then any other person what is happening in America. In a speech on the West Coast, September 30, he decried the growing menace of Communism, de claring Out "in the past five years American Communists have made their deepest inroads upon our na tional rights." Their false preachments on civil liberty mean that Communists want the right to do as they please. Those who seek to provoke prejudice and stir up the public mind to angry re sentment against our form of gov ernment are a menace to the very powers of law and order which guar antee and safeguard1 popular rights. Said Mr. Hoover: "Communism has spresd Fascism and Fascism . spawns Communism. Both are the antithesis of American belief in 11b 1 erty and freedom. If people of oth ? er countries want Communism, let them have it, but it has no place in ; America." It is time to stand up and be counted, indeed.
