Yet we produce nearly half of the world’s steel; generate half of (he world’s electric power; and operate almost a third of the world’s railroads. Our leadership in Otfiet 1 fields is equally pronounced. Many diverse reasons are responsible for this. One of them is realized by relatively few people. It lies in the fa#;,’that we have a tremendous abundance of coal—and, equally important, a competitive coal industry which has made the most of the resources that Nature granted us. The tremendous expansion that has taken placfc in steel, power, and other enterprise could not have been accom plished witi’CUt an abundance of reasonably-priced coal— andl coal of many different grades. Today, nearly every thing .We eat and wear and use depends in some fashion oil'fcofal. It has been and remains a basic source of power. As time goes on, America’s appetite for coal continues . to increase. It’s a huge appetite and a healthy one. To meet the demand, the coal companies have been spending hundreds of millions of dollars for new machinery, new processing plants, and to develop new mines to rep’ace worn-out properties. And the industry has met, as a matCS* of simple routine, a large foreign demand for coal as well. Coal is a first-class example of how free,’competitive enterprise can develop a great natural resource to the enduring good of all. The "Why" Os Meat Prices ItJS commonly said and believed that meat prices are sky-high, and out of reach, of a great many consumers. Yet the fact is, that in the light of purchasing power and wage meat prices have varied but slightly over a long period of time. This was pointed out in a recent issue of the Kiplinger Magazine, which said, “An interest ing thing about meat sales is that in good times and bad, over the past years, the public has spent roughly the same proportion of its take-honie pay for meat—s per cent to # per cent. The moment the housewife’s food, budget de creases, West prices fall accordingly. Bach man’s price, from'the breeder’s up the line to the butcher’s, is geared to the'price you and millions of others are able and willing to pay.” Another common belief is that the packing industry majK&a whale of a lot of money, and earns unjustifiably 3arge profits. Yet in 1950, which was a fairly typical year, the packers’ meat tamings from sales were only about ( as large as the average for all manufacturing. Ohat year, their earnings came to a trifle more than 1 ne per cent of sales—which is hardly an exorbitant price > pay for an essential service. And last year, according • preliminary figures, the earnings of most packing houses 'fere somewhat less than in 1950, even though sales touch (d a record. ’ | * The meat industry, in sum, is governed strictly by the < Id law of supply and demand. And the meat industry : i an intensely competitive enterprise, made up of 4,000 ackers who bid against each other for livestock and then : i >ll a highly perishable product competitively to the meat i itailers—who, in turn, must also buy and sell competi tively. That’s why the profits are so moderate. jrederick OTHMAN i * WASHINGTON—If you’re an ev il I. in a new house with a leaky Sos, a flooded cellar, a short clr -1 (Alt in the main (use box and a \ ftocr with the characteristics of a rjjUer coaster, it’s no fun to tbtnk iM yourself as part of a minor sta pThat, at least.

Os course, most of .us never bother to do that. A celebration might be a holiday from work or doubie-time. It might be an auto mobile trip on crowded roads with a toll of dead from drunken driv ing. The Fourth of July, whieh should be a solemn day of Intro spection. has become the peak of accidents on our highways. Yet, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln comes each year to remind us that a na tion can fall apart; it can whittle its strength away; it must go through the toils of a spiritual revolution; it -must suffer to re store itself. Lincoln was neither glamorous nor even popular. It was ■ not easy for him to be elected or re-elected. In the end, he was assassinated. His oratory was coldly logical and was. in his time, not regarded as in a class with that of Daniel Webster, who had died only a dec ade before, or Edward Everett, Who also spoke at Gettysburg. Yet, Lincoln has left a heritage of thought and purpose, on so high a level, that were th# day of his Uvth celebrated by reading from Ms spetetu proclam a tons and letters, it could not but improve the attitude of our people toward our country. It is a curious phenomenon that at the time of the War Between the States, Both sides, the North and the South, were vitally con cerned over the proposition of the existence of the United States and what kind of a country it should be. Lee was as patriotic as Grant, and it is only fitting that recogni tion should finally have come of the fact at West Point where the portrait of Lee, wearing the grey uniform of the Confederacy, now hangs as a companion to a por trait of Grant. The men of that period were ready to lay down their lives over the nature of the United States. Lincoln went to war over the prop osition that the Union Wr.s Indi visible, but he did not conteml that States were provinces of a highly bentcglidsd government. Hag who fought to maintain , thg Constitu tion ' did not propose also to* vto late If. The question of States’ Rights never meant to Lincoln that the States were to be reduced from sovereignty to administrative cen ters, first corrupted by the Fed eral Government by money grants and then overwhelmed by Federal officials. Lincoln was no carpet bagger, nor did he send carpet baggers to dominate the South. That curse, from the results of which we are not yet free, eame after he was assassinated and that monstrous politician, Thaddeus Stevens, dominated the policy of our government. In these days, the fourth divorce of a movie queen seems to be more important than the operations of our government and our currency is depreciated without protest. There was moral vitality in our country when the corruption of the Harding Administration, once un covered, aroused a nation to in dignation and -reduced the stature of a President who failed to safe guard his nation's honor 'to coe rect proportions. Today, a more widespread, a more baneful cor ruption is treated almost as a joke, the butt of the humor of radio and television gagsters. and the President revels in the correctness of his boast that the people will fossbt about it before Election Da i if their pockets jingle inflated cur rency. A nation cannot live by fun her will it stand monumental in a morass of immorality. Lincoln Un derstood our peril when he said: “. . .We have been the recipients at the Choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many Years in peace and prosperity; We have grown to numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grokn But we have forgotted God.

Louey John son, the pleasant, barren-beaned ex-Secretary of Defense, has had three private talks with the Presi dent, all through the White House hack door. Two were at his re quest, the last was requested by Truman. What the President chiefly wanted, Johnson later told friends; was to get the veterans straight ened out politically. He figured that Johnson, a big wheel in the American Legion. With his law partner, Don Wilson, now National Commander, might be able to swing a lot of the vets back into Democrat ranks. But 'Johnson was quite unenthu siastic. “I don’t think I could very well go to the veterans,’’ he said, “with my reputation for having been fired, and expect to make a suc cessful political appeal.” The President didn’t comment on this, but asked his ex-Secretary of Defense what he thought of the political situaion. “I don’t think Eisenhower will get anywhere,” *■ Johnson told friends that he replied. ‘‘But I think he has enough strength to block Taft* In the case of that deadlock I think MacArthur will be, the nominee, and he is ‘one man. Mr. President you can’t beat.” McCarthy squeezes taft Fellow Republicans have been whispering behind Bob Taft’s back about the way the Senator from Wisconsin has been pushing the Senator from Ohio around. What they say is that McCarthy barked and Taft Jumped the other day when he issued his statement supporting McCarthy. For exactly three months, the Wisconsin wild man had been demanding such an endorsement—in fact, ever since Mr. Republican stepped on his toes lest October by declaring that Mc- Carthy's charges had been “over stated.” “I don't think anyone who over states his case helps his own case.” waa what Taft told the press on October 22. “The extreme attack against General Marshall is one of the things on which I can not agree with McCarthy I think spine criticism of General Mar shall was justified, but he should not have been accused of affiliation with any form of communism.” This infuriated McCarthy. Short ly thereafter, he cornered Taft in the Senate and demanded a repu diation. At first, the Ohioan side stepped. He tried to placate Mc- Carthy by repeating in subsequent speeches: “I don’t agree with ev erything McCarthy says, but we - can’t criticize McCarthy says, but wa ing the ooasmunists-in-governmeat investigation.” Os course, McCarthy didn’t start the communists - in - government probe at all, but jumped on the euros' ■ - 'l'l'ilfijinllllvli /#| ■ <. |wj^ fl iMm I sp 'll 4 ?• j soapbox long after Alger Hiss and William. Remington had already been 'exposed, largely by the un- American Activities' Committee and by McCarthy’s fellow Republican, Senator Nixon of California. Yet even this indirect tribute from Taft didn’t satisfy the Wisconsin Senator. He began talking tough to Taft and threatening political reprisals. He even boasted about it afterward until it became common gossip in the Senate cloakrooms, Finally the harassed Taft knuckled down and announced on January 21: “McCarthy’s investi gation has been fully justified. .. This administration has been dom inated by a strange communist sympathy.” What made this all the more hutniliating for Taft was that it was completely one-sided. While he announced his support of Mc- Carthy, the Senator from Wis consin said nothing about sup porting Taft. In fact, on Decem ber 14, McCarthy came out for Genera] Douglas MacArthur for President “and a younger man for vice president"—meaning, of course, McCarthy. usoically, it was McCarthy who defeated MacArthur in Wiscdnsin’s 1948 primary by claiming J that MacArthur was “too old’; anti by sinearihg him i’lth ers on account of his divorce. However, the political winds have shifted, and McCarthy is now try ing to tie himself to MacArthur’s kite. » Meanwhile Senator Taft explains to Republican colleagues private ly: "Joe was threatening to come out for Stassen in Wisconsin, and Wisconsin is very important to me. Also I had pressure from party leaders to support McCarthy." He identified the other party leaders as Herbert Hoover and Geneal MacArthur. Note: Though Taft indicates to friends that he isn’t happy about his forced alliance Kith McCarthy, a March of Dimes solicitor calling on the Taft home the other eve ning, discovered Senator McCar thy seated comfortably at the Taft dinner table. ANNIVERSARY CHARGES It has now been exactly two years today since McCarthy made his first claim, in a Lincoln’s birthday speech at Wheeling, W. Va., that there were 205 commu nists in the State' Department. Immediately thereafter, at Salt Lake City, he changed his figure to 57 and announced that he would supply the names to Secretary of State Acheson on request. Later he upper the figure to 81. But so* -far McCarthy has, supplied the name of no one who has been prov ed a communist, and Senator Tyd- Ings of Maryland still has a $25,000 offer to. McCartßy on this score.

In fact, I suffered from it once when I was about 12 years of age. As I looked over a small cliff,- I became fascinated with the idea of jumping. There was a small creek below with a sand bar on the far side. I wondered if I couldn’t land on that sand bar. And the more I thought about jumping, the more I hypnotized myself I actual ly did make the leap. When I hit the sand bank, my right knee struck my chin and knocked me unconscious.

Woman Jteail V ter In Skm* Creed, With Painful Results. DEAR MARY HAWORTH: My good wife was reared by a rigid , code of honesty: and she Is rearing our daughter Terry (now 10) by the some code. The child is growing into a smug unpleasant little character who has no friends. Re cently she told a neighbor chid, almost her lone companion nowa ’ days. “Your mother is a dirty housekeeper; my mother said so.” When I remonstrated, my wife said Terry spoke the truth. If so, I fedl the truth is better left unsaid at times. Not long ago my sister Ann and her husband stepped by to see us. They kept house for me when my wife was confined and always have been kind to us. During the visit my sister said jokingly, “Why don’t you coma to see us oftener, Amy; don’t you like me?” To which my wife replied deadpan, "I like you tor what you’ve done for us; but I can’t understand people who don't tell the truth.” Starting at the implcatlon, my sister and her husband asked what Amy meant, and die cited in stances of “social ties,” in which Amy had told someone she would be “glad” to do them a favor: that* it would be “no bother.” My wife insisted that Ann hadn’t sincere ly felt that way; and should have told the truth. Other people's “honest” is * fetish with her. I no longer bring office friends home, for fear she’ll start a real feud; and most of all I mind what she is doing to Terry. When we were going together, and early to marriage, I got a kick out es Amy’s honesty. Then it was all sweetly favorable to me; but nowadays she hasn’t a good word for me; and finds it necessary to say many unkind "truths." I am not the man she thought I was; she would be happier divorced, etc. —and this kind of thing is hard to take. The spirit has gone out of marriage, though I exr «t to stick, for Terry's sake. I don't know ho* to meet Amy’s arguments in favor of “truth;” anything I say seems so lame. What is the answer? to her owa fallible performance. It would be necessary to point out, to her face, the following: She is ls: s°i?rLrl"! bumptious red*'fault finding It a ‘"shT EMOTIONAL CONTROL V We can’t think about two ideas 'at the same time, so Martin should deliberately concentrate on some thought than the idea of jumping over the cliff. Even an artificial stunt like mul- W tiplytog 37 by 18, to your head, will help divert your attention from the central idea of jumping. There is a law to psychology that we tend to put an Idea into action unless an opposing idea checks that first action. To inhibit the act of jumping, therefore, Martin must deliberate ly think about something else. He might turn on the radio, and thus divert his attention. He might recite Bible verses or poetry. Any different idea or action will thus break the auto-hypnosis that leads to jumping. PHOBIAS ARE COMMON Several prominent business men here in Chicago have acrophobia so they refuse to rent an office above the tod or 3rd floor. Others suffer from fear of clos ed places (claustrophobia) so they dare not ride in an elevator. That means they walk the 5 or 10 flight*. up to their office. • To cover up, their slavery to such a nuisance fear, they say it is such good exercise to walk up stairs, or it reduces their waist line ! They may not be able to endure the thought of having the windows closed so they freeze their stnog raphers by Insisting on open win dows, even in winter. They may then try to hide their real phobia by arguing about the gTeat virtues of fresh air.

She is scar red by a benighted brand of rear ing, to which heredity patterns of hostile .rejecting attitudes to wards people were piously justified, —in the name of “honest” senti ments. The crux of Amy’s difficulty lies not in others’ flaws, but in her in grained hostility. She involuntarily evaluate* individuals through un loving eyes. As your sister intutivel]#) knew, Amy doesn’t "Hke” her or any person, self included, I may add. It is this inner negativism that accounts for he sour dissatisfaction with marriage. And I am sure rite disdainfully tickets your mild en durance of her carping as evidence of Unmanly caliber, due to her training to the theory that a goug ing exchange of criticism signifies moral backbone. LOVE ENCOMPASSES SPIRITUAL TRUTH # The Bible says: “If any man of fend not to word, the same is a perfect man.” And speaking of an unbridled tongue, “it tt an un ruly evil, full of deadly poison Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversa tion his works .... Wisdom that tt from above is first pure, then, 1 peaceable, gentle and easy to be in tree ted; full of mercy and gMXI fruits .... •’ (See James 7) • What tt truth? In Amy’s lexicon, it is her narrow value judgment * what die sees. But in the spiritual sense, truth has to do with under lying laws of life that inexorably determine results—whether one in stinctively obeys or ignorantly flouts them. And it tt my under standing that the essential law of life, the “truth” to be applied to human relations, has to do with loving kindness, practised to thought and word and action. See# Luke 16:27.
