Meat Prices And The Weather A spokesman for the far-flung meat industry recently observed that meat prices and the weather have a lot in common—they’re always being criticized. He added, “Ap parently, the same people who one day complain about it being to hot, and next day about it being too cold, by some quirk of human nature feel that meat prices are always too high.” This view was brought on by the apparent lack of public understanding of what has been happening to beef prices during the past year or so. There has been much complaint based on the theory that retail prices haven’t seemed to change noticeably even though livestock prices have declined. Official figures, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are the best answer to that charge. The prices of choice grade beef today are 15 to'2s percent under the levels of a year ago. These are sharp declines— but because they have taken place gradually, instead of all in a lump, many of us haven’t realized what has occurred. More evidence of a similar nature was provided by the Department of Agriculture’s recent investigation of meat prices. No indication whatsoever of profiteering was found. And retail prices generally, the report added, followed the wholesale trend. Judged by any reasonable criteria, beef is an excellent buy. Our beef dollar is muen more potent that it used to be. Coffee And Buffer “Let us make it clear immediately and without quali fication that the rising price of coffee irks us as much as it does the next man,” says the Wall Street Journal. “Nevertheless the furor over coffee does highlight some curious circumstances. “The prices of other agricultural products are high.

Instead production has been <l&argSFsfiiP the short crop is not the only reason for the ascent df coffee prices: There has been muttering about cartel arrangements and manipu lation.

The higher prices will benefit the 1953-54 sea son in particular Figures for it are not yet available. "It is absolutely clear that the rise in coffee prices has been due to economic laws that operate in dependently oi the will of man. A forced cut in consumption, or a decree on prices, could not bring about lower-priced coffee. From the economic or political viewpoint, it is even more impossible to Justify a boycott directed exclusively a gainst Guatemalan coffee. For some years to come there will be a sure market throughout the world for coffee. Guatemala is insured of a good position in regard to coffee. Nevertheless, diversification of crops is part of the agrarian reform.” This statement is Interesting be cause of the curious use of Marx ian terminology in the second para graph and the evidence that the continuance of this “People’s Re public” and its possible (or even probable) emergence as a Soviet Satellite it dependent upfpn the support of its economy by the U nited States. The United States, as a govern ment, only purchases coffee for its own use in comparatively small quantities for its armed sendees, veterans hospitals, etc. The Gov ernment of the United States does not purchase coffee for its citizens. We have not yet been reduced to barter so prevalent in dealing a- • mong the satellite countries and to trade between Soviet Russia ami some nations. Therefore when 85.20 percent of a country’s export of any product is taken by American citizens, they enjoy the free right to use or re- > fuse to use this product. I am free', to drink Guatetaalln. .OtotabUnT Haitian, or Hawaiian coffeeor none at all. In a word, what any American does about his food and drink is persohal and individual and If I, as a free citizen, real! a label on a can to make sure that there is no Guatemalan coffee therein, it is strictly my business and the gov ernment cannot force me to poi son my conscience any more than my alimentary system. Therefore "When the Marxian cbn cept of historical, materialism is ap plied to a man drinking coffee by such a phrase as “due to economic laws that operate independently of the will of man,” I *(helf hot coffee but Marxism. Is an economic law a revelation from Heaven? Is an ec onomic law a law of nature?

And my very success will depend upon my learning how to speak in public." FEAR COMPLEX Everybody grows excited when he is called upon to do something a bit out of his usual line. This is simply stagefright. It is Nature's way of keying you up to a high pitch so your heart will beat, faster, your blood pressure wiil zoom, and hence your thoughts will percolate better because your brai l is better nourished. - Nature thus tries to make, you so nervous that you will be mentally hypersensitive to external stimuli and not miss a ' trick. Stagefright is thus Nature’s me thod of putting you on a war basis emotionally and physiologically. For a sluggish person, whose thoughts and actions were slow in a crisis, might not react swiftly enough to avoid death, disaster, the rattlesnake’s hinge, or a debater's airitmgnts. STAGEFRIGHT IS GOOD From this angle, therefore, you should be grateful that you have stagefright! But because all beginners become unduly self-conscious about their stagefright, this beneficial reaction qf the body may be carried too far and finally hamstring you.
