The cold, cruel facts are that con- sumers prices have advanced within. the past year 23 per cent/'Food prices, haye jumped 40 per cent; clothing 18 jer cerit.; Bosinesses large and small have strugg}ed under inc¥easing costs of wages afidindte- rials. The latter having shot up wholesale quotations 40. per cent.in less than a year- and-a-half. There is no denying the: fact, ag much as we hate to admit it, that there is a lot of inflation in a‘lot of places. There is plenty of employment in the country as shown by the fact that 60,000, 090 persons are employed. A half a dozen years ago that was the goal that the New Deal was always striving to reaeh— but-never reached. Nevertheless, high wages and plenty of»industrial activity has boosted the Na- tion to higher levels. Maybe this is a poor illustration, but wise statisticians tell us that meat consumption formerly leveled off at 125 pounds per capita a year, but now it is 155 pounds, at double the price that it-was in the “good old days.” * But you can’t measure National infla- tion or’ prosperity by the old _ yardstick. But we do know that an increasing ‘num- ber of well-to-do people ‘are’ wondering how they are going to continue to keep up thte old habits. Uncle Sam’s legs are pretty shaky. And believe it or not, inflation still is the danger. hens te Sime re ese cer Bt Oe ees Fe Terese , PERT ES Bed Ee eStst Bebe!

Whenever Key West citizens make up their minds to put something over, the job is as good as done, but there is a tardi- ness sometimes in making up local minds. Vatararehatetats te “4 : “auster: A SOUND DICTUM The United States should paraphrase, “God helps those who help themselves”, with, the “United States helps those who help themselves.” A few days ago The Citizen publish- ed an article about Belgium, the country whose name has not been mentioned in the news about the rebuilding or rehabili- tation of western Europe by money ad- vanced by this country. Why has Belgium been left out of that news? The answer may be found in that story in The Citizen—the Belgiums are working hard. While the peoples of France, Italy and some of the other coun- tries in western Europe are beset with strikes and communistic uprisings, the Belgiums are working diligently to rebuild their country and to supply food for its consumption. Everybody in Belgium has as much to eat as he wants because everybody is working hard. Streets are repaired and kept clean, houses are rebuilt and shabby- looking houses are repainted, farms are well kept and, as a result, produce abun- dantly. Everywhere he turned, the writer said, people were working, working, working, with determination to put their country back on a sound economic basis. But turn elsewhere, even to England, and what do we find? England is experi- menting with a nationalization policy that has reduced the people to the lowest ebb of want in many a year. Prominent Englishmen are forever crying about more ity” to save the country from collapse. Meanwhiie, iaborers in every sphere are crying for higher wages or sal- aries, and follow up the ery with frequent strikes. And the government cries about shortage of dollars and leaves intact three to four billion dollars in securities it has in the United States, while Uncle Sam digs deeper into his pocket to help Great Bri- tain and other western European countries that are not helping themselves as Bel- gium is doing. Says Arthur M. Vandenberg, U. S. Senator from Michigan: “Majorities are not always right.” That is true; it is also true that a universal belief may be wrong, for instance the world once believed that the earth was flat. HISTORY STILL REPEATS ITSELF The following editorial is from the Wichita Beacon: “Lack of understanding on the part of men who are running our government appears to be as much to blame for the chaotie condition of prices and supply as any other one factor. “Remember back in the days of the depression when the government was rec- ommending plowing under crops because they were in too abundant supply? Those same experts today are trying to ‘plow under’ markets because the demand is too great. "It doesn’t take a student of econom- ics to tell our government that’ prices are governed almost entirely by supply and demand—regardless of the controls plac- ed on either as an artificial stimulus for increased or decreased prices. “The plain truth is that our supply is high, but our demand is greater because of the export policies which this country has followed and is following. Suddenly there has been a drastic cut in export al- locations of grain and flour in an effort to retard the upward trend of prices. “Looking back over the years, it is not difficult to se that history repeats it- self. Wheat after the Civil War sold for $2.85; after the Russo-Turkish war it soar- ed to $2.45; it went to $1.85 after the Spanish-American war, and to $3.50 after the first World War..... “Regardless of who is running Amer- ica, the first truth which must be realized is the old fundamental economic law of supply and demand. It has never failed. It never will, regardless of subsidies grants, doles, price-pegging or other arti- ficial stimuli. When the supply is good, prices tend to be lower. When supply short, prices are high (provided there is no price control, in which case the short supply usually finds better customers in the black market—at higher pirces) ... . “We are experiencing high wheat prices because 40 per cent of the crop is going out of the country. We are experi- encing high meat prices for the same rea- son. However, we are witnessing high corn prices because the crop this year was 800,- 000,000 bushels short because of weather factors. In any instance, the available home supply is not sufficient to meet the demand.” reprinted THE KEY WEST CITIZEN US. ast Autos, Trucks To Lisbon LISBON.—(AP).—The United States supplied Portugal with the majority of its motor trucks dur- ing the first half of this year, furnishing 1,941 of the 3,088 total imported.

TIMELY FOOD TIPS 1, The commercial and _ utility grades of beef can be used sat- istactorily in making the above meat loaf. 2. Rolled oats makes a good meat- stretcher for many main dishes. In today’s meat loaf, oatmeal builds up the food value of the meat loaf by adding important amounts of protein, iron, and Vitamin Bl, and the protein value of both meat and oatmeal is enhanced, too. The oatmeal 2 also absorbs the meat juices and anpEoves the texture of the meat ‘oat, 3. Use any meat loaf left from Sun- day, in sandwiches for the Mon- day “lunchboxers.” Sliced, or ground and mixed with a little chili sauce or catsup, it makes a delicious sandwich filling.
