ECONOMY POLITICS CLASH IN CONGRESS Washington, Juno 28.?Anything can happen before the piesent ses sion of Congress adjourns, sometime before Labor day, but it would tak? the seventh son of a seventh son to predist what particular Congra siona. wishes will con* true.. For there ar* many things which Congress, ?speak- j ing broadly, would like to do, whic \ it may find impossible be.cause of po litical considerations and Adminis tration pressure-?which means about the same thing. Congress has really become econo my-minded. There is. no doubt that, lfet to follow its inclinations it would make mUberial reductions in Government expenditures, not only for the regular departments and buwiaus but for qtuergency coamnis sions and "administrations.'' > caso in point is the matter of relief appropriations The predominat'ng sentiment on Capitol Ilill is that Uncle Sam has goue far enough h supporting his! nieces and fcfephows, and that tho' time lias cosne for the states to tat? j over tine, job of finding out who is in need of relief, and paying a roe soi able share of the cost. But against th's id,ea pressure i* put upon Congress from throe di rections to continue the W.P.A. system. It comes from the Adminis tration its->~ l', which wnnts to con tinue the handling of relirf fund* without restriction as to where they shall be spent. That is a natural result of the dcs'iv to intlu.-nce Con gressional votes. The Congre sn*-an who crnnot con tinue to get W.P.A. project^ allot-; ted to his district is likely to lose a lot of votes when he cojn>?& up for re-election, and every one of tht?n knows it. Therefore, much as they feei?tand mo-it <of tH?m s'npoaielv do-^thart reifrP" ?prpvnflimivs bo cut, a great mrany fear for their own political futures if th?>y take too positive a stand for what they believe. Then there is the pressure from tho Governors of the'r home states and the mayors of their home cities, who fori): among them one of the most 5|:)fllfvn*ial lobticrs i-.i iWash * fftoli. lxH-al governments do not wiaut to t?ke over the load and the responsibil'ty, and they make no bonets about telling their Congress men so. The threat of local poIiti-| cal opposition if they don't p'ay ball. is more potent, with ma y Hiepre-| sentatives, 1 thaai even the fear of reprisals from tlu? Executive. The third pressure group active in opposition to reduct'on in relief expenditures is the W. P. A. work era them selves. They have become so well organized, especially in the larger centers of population, that they have almost the status of a labor union. i They look upon their relief jobs if !der W.P.A. as permanent positions in which/ they have a vested right 1 This has comu? about from the faoi that Congress, in placing relief funds in the hands of the President in huge lump sums to ,be use<l at his discretion, sot no limjit upon tlu amount which might be paid as re I lief wages to any individual.. I Tho result is that the Relief Ad i ministration has ruled that unen on relief work must receive union wag is in citi<* and districts 'm which tlx labor unions set the standard^. Con cquently, where the union scale foi Carpenters as $8 a day, that is the pay of "relief" workers employed a<s carpenters en W.P.A. projects ?Mid the same rul?.jgoC3 far worker? in other trades. With the recipients of relief en joying incomes comparable with those frf skilled Workors, it is ot to bo wondered at that thev wan 1 to hold/ tl.-'r W.P.A. jjh , and Con ?ifrssin4\ from imiiiy parts of the country are in ivccipt of intima^io^'a arnoif ting to threats, that if they make a move to cut tlie relief ap. propriations they will hear from the orgimiaod W.P.A. workers a.1 noxt year's ebecti<*f;, in no uncer tain terms. - Soir.o of the intiiirjations carry the suggestion that ai* affiliation be tween the W.P.A, workers and the C. I. 0. is in process of formation There is -r<> conErmat^on of this ob tainab?o, but the possibility is giving somo members the jitters. Congress just doesn't Lf'ow -what to do about the Labor situation, but (PloaSo Turn To Page 2) An Jtotopriiitetirr lag lottami (By Dan Tompkiins) Our nation, whose birth we cf'l-J cbnato, was conceived in the min-'? of men who ;loved thvir native soi , ^ *d was biought fortU rim id stri V* and bloodshed; but was dedicated to Poaeo and human Happine-s.

It seetns to Ik' onv of the laws by which tlu* universe is governed that nothing worth while is yv?r secuwd without much J suffering and bard work.

And yet, "here is a paradox. Peace, sometimes must be fought lor. It always requires a gvojtt (len 1 of ef-j fort to bring peace. The Founding. Fathers, who establish d this n-<-; tion, desired pvac<; but t Hoy held that there ore even moiv precious things than temporary peae<? They wa ted peaces and were willing to fight for it, to sacrifice for it, to undergo hardship and Miffering in order that peac* might come to them and their posterity. Peace is an elusive tiling, us are tho other intangibles that aie far mow precious than those things that we can touch aind sec,. "Kternal vigijnuv i-s the price of liberty",it Ifa-i u"!l said.

TODAY and TOMORRO V\ (By Frank Parker Stockbiidge) DISTRIBUTION . . cooperation I have been ior some wetks travel Img around it; the .South, prticu ar Jy m Florida, and have become more impressed than aver with the feeling that the principal economic problem which our country faces is that of distribution. We can proJucoc kjnbugh to suppy ove rjybody with everything he needs. Our distri bution system ha^ not kept pace wii|, our productive capacity. Florida developed a new plan to get better distribution ior its citrus t'ruitjcspecially grapefruit The Siate Chamber ot Cofeismcrce got ihe grow ers and the national chain store together. Result, practically the en. tire crop of grapefruit was distribut ed into sections of the country whoi'.? grapefruit was almost unknown. Ev erybody profited ajnd t"her?- wafe : o unsold surplus. One lady in North Dakota wrote to Florida asking how to cook grape fruit. She had boiled it for nvo hourV she .-aid. .md it was still t-'Ugh! But in all parts of the country c<> sumer welcomed this wholesome i-ddutioi, to; their menus. SURPLUSES . .! . cajmerio;,; The only reason why there is eve a sut'p'us of undistributed lood' products is lack of facilities. for storing the surplus until the market is ready to absorb it. In the Son-.th th.5 problem has largely be.li one ol cold-storage and canning facial ;-s. Sow these facilities are available, and-Ui^ Southern tanner no longei hiis to dope.' A Ul 'm ru bing his pro tlnee ti? northern markets before ?1 spoils. What the seasonal market will not absorb, the canneries will take off his hands. The fistesf growing industry 1 halve heard anything about is the citrus-canning industry. It is a prac tical Ji-ethod ot earning surplu*. oranges, grapefruit and limes ovei UPtil tllo new eroja. comes in. Th.' cheese, buiter and coiiBmsed milk industries are ether example; of praclieal ways to store snip'us n? !?< for future sale. Anything which hampers such op eratid s as those is distinctly against the public interest as I tve it ECONOMICS ? outside a I found i;) Fioriila a good example of the way in which business econ omics are eiiected. The avciage man does not think it economical to ship beans from Michigan to be canned iy Florida, or fmit from Califo.nia. Bat that is just what is happening. The Floridm canneries, after their 3 or 4 months season of canning Winter fruits ai d vegetables stood idle the rest of the year. So they are bringing Michigan beans, Iowa pork. a; d Louisiana molasses to Florida, liunningthe cannorws iin summer pro ducing ?ar ned pork and beans under the label of a New York conts m!
