Argua Monday, Oct 13:
Ass, Backwards
; First let s look at the problems:
There is a world shortage of
" Grains contain more nourishment
per pound than any other kind of
food. For that reason It is cheancr
as well as more practical to ship
between nations great quantities of
grain lor food than food in other
forms.
Shipments of grains from the
IT I i. J - . m . .
wouia in normal times be a na
tional over-fiupply, until now sup
Plies are short.
Short supplies cause high prices
. Higk" prices of grains, which art
used for cattle, and fowl feed as
well as for human foodj result in
fanners killing cattle and poultry
rather than to keep buying high
priced feeds, or cause, meat' and
poultry prices to go up, or a com
bination of the two.
A simple answer to the food and
price problem In the United States
might seem to be to cut. down the
amount we export
But we are told that export of
food is a MUST if we are to keep
both European nations and Japan
from falling under the sway f
Communists. And Communists aim
at a world very different from life
in these United States.
So, in the United States, we hrve
seen grain leaving the country in
great quantities, both for the sake
of charity and as one of the meas
ures in protecting ourselves against
a world going Communist We have
seen prices of all foods connected
with grains, either directly or
through feed to animals, going up,
up, up until the daily lives of the
great majority of American fami
lies are involved.
The situation became a worry
for U. S. Government officials. (In-
eviWuly it alio cast shadows. to
ward the 1948 national ejection.)
What was done? i- v - '
President Truman pointed at
meat, at poultry, at egg. He asked
the people of this nation not to eat
meat on day a week, not to eat
eggs or poultry different day in
the week. (No emphasis on no eggs
and poultry the meatless day, ho
meat the eggless and poultryless
day.) -:: i":-
That's backing into the real prob
lem, the grain problem.
We'd almost suspect that among
the Mlssourians brought to Wash
ington there is some equivalent of
the father of a mule. Who else
would have advised President Tru
man to make an appeal to th
American people which is both de
ceptive and doesn't face the basic
facts. No wonder there axe reports
of poor results from the appeal, all
over the nation.
Follow an ass, backward?
No let's look at the truth as
this nation's people never are
afraid to do and then go forward.
