Possibly a small percentage of our population engulfs material of this sort with fair regularity, but the food named Ii.s very far from being ‘“characteristic.” That the Gourmet Society, of New York City, made a meal along these lines by way of demonstrating American cook- ing is an affront to our common sense. This is 1936. When will the gourmets awaken? When will they conduct a banquet of characteristic American food that will be really characteristic? | We'll tip them off, if they want suggestions; - P — Start with shrimp cocktail, soda fountain style.| MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRE i i : The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for | This consists of one glass sauce-cup with three shrimp r'-;xh:lrf&'l!m ‘;;-\!L]’;r;:‘;““ i ‘;14;‘;‘:;'[‘1“1'0““‘]'(":'1 ';m‘:«r.,“:fn;f;b)f;&-‘J""g“"g over the edge.

There are adequate laws to prevent slander and to pre- | vent speech which incites violence. Beyond this, there is no justification for restrictions on freedom of speech. The last election demonstrated that the strength of the Communists, like that of all other disaffected groups, has declined in re- cent years, and is negligible. But if authority begins to make martyrs of these groups by denying them freedom of speech, their in- fluence will be strengthened. By attempting to protect the Constitution in such ways, the first step is taken towards destroying it. It should never be forgotten that civil rights must apply to all, if th;v are to retain their meaning for anyone. They must apply to those discontended or deluded people with whom good sense disagrees, or they will even- 13 ibe. Pegvisma. for e alert protection of the land itself.

At that point we shall have a recurrence of the “farm problem,” unless steps have been taken mean- time to establish a better balance between the demand 'for farm products and the potential supply of them. Looking ahead to this situation, Mr. Wallace hints at a return to some form of governmental crop control. But it is obvious that, as an alternative toi reduced production, he would greatly prefer increased idemand—to be achieved through the recovery of for- eign markets for the American surplus. To Mr. Hull's reciprocal trade treaties, which are aimed precisely at | this goal, he pays due credit; but he notes that the | countries with which trade agreements have been made | thus far take only about one-fourth of our agricultural exports, and he believes that a full test of the recipro- : fai " cal-treaty plan must accordingly wait upon the con- tually fail to apply to the rest of us. {cluston of 'additional agreements. | Most of us recall the incident at Terre Haute| My, Hull, however, can move no more rapidly in | last fall when the Communist Presidential candidate this matter than the state, of public opinion permits (we'll bet most of you have forgotten his name) re- 'him to move.
