MONOGRAPH Dear Readers Aceording to newspaper reports, the Germans think that the Russians are their true friends because they advo- 1 cated the non-partitioning of Germany. The American delegation was a little slow in letting the Germans know the facts of the $10,000,000,000 reparations demanded by, Stalin and the disman- tling of factories for shipment to Rus- sia. THE ORACLE.» IS THE SECRETARY RIGHT?: : - The present upward’ trend in meat prices need not continue, declares Secre- "tary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson, “but he adds, “It looks like it will unless something is done.” = Mr. Anderson was explaining to a " House Committee why, in his opinion, “some price controls should be established “lover meat in order to avoid “distress ev- “erywhere” in living costs. The Secretary ~ pointed out that the per capita meat sup- “ply next year is estimated at 146 pounds, which is only 12 pounds less than 1947, “put above what the average individual * consumed before the war. He feared that “fantastic prices” might develop in the «spring if the shortage develops. - The Secretary got something of a cool “reception from the House Banking Com- -mittee, which, no doubt, reflects the pre- vailing sentiment in Congress. The issue boils down to whether the Secretary’s pre- ~dictions are correct or whether the atti- “tude of Congressmen who oppose controls ",is all that the present situation demands. The consumer can do little but await ~ Official action. He can, it is true, bear in ‘mind the testimony of the Secretary of Agriculture and the hostile attitude of ~ Congressmen to recommend controls. “ If the developments of 1948 rev .. that the Secretary is correct in his analysis of the situation, the only recourse left to _ the people is to remember the recalcitrant Congressmen and forget them at the polls. “ Tf, on the other hand, the judgment of « the.Congressmen proves to be wiser, ihe “solons should be remembered and cheer- fully supported at the polls. =} , WHEREIN WE BITE « A recent radio script called: attention “to the fact that the white race is a minor- ~ ity in the world and that more than two- “thirds of the people on the globe are not ~ white-skinned. - Suppose, said the radio commentator, the two-thrids should one day allow their “prejudices to militate against the whites ~ and asked, “What then?” “4 We'll bite—what? x Tolerance sometimes gets mixed up ‘“ with the art of persuading the majority not to assert its rights. MARSHALL PLAN “It is not easy to give or'to receive aid,” says the committee for the Marshall Plan to aid European recovery. It is not easy to give because the giver is not always sure that the object of his giving will be attained. Fhat is true not only in individual giving, wherein the re- ceiver at times squanders the money given him, but is true also of general giv- ing. As for receiving individuaily, the re- ceiver, if he is honest and has a sense of pride, shrinks fram being . the abject of charity and accepts the gift only when he is reduced to dire need. j Reason for that attitude is because the spirit of independence is alive in every man, who still treasures self-respect. What is true of an_ individual is also true of a nation. The countries that will be helped under the Marshall Plan still en- tertain pride in their nationality. We Americans may not able to understand their readiness to receive help, as we would be resentful if any country offered to assist us. But our resentment would disappear were we on the brink of starva- tion. Hunger, more than anything else, holds pride, individual or national, in abeyance. The Citizen said recently, in discussing the Marshall Plan, that the peoples of the countries that are to be helped should strive to help themselves. On that point the committee says: “The main responsibility for! European recovery necessarily lies in the European countries themselves. They must put forth all their energy in the task and they must proceed with it in an orderly way, follow- ing careful plans. This they cannot do un- less they can feel confident that we will continue our aid until recovery is reached. If the sixteen European nations carry out their part of this cooperative program, we must be prepared to carry out our share of the program for the next four and a quarter years.” y Monoply is completely justified when it is based exclusively upon the excellence of a product. SPACE FOR PROGRESS If any reader of The Citizen has the idea that science has discovered every- thing, and that there are no intellectual worlds to conquer, we invite attention to what is currently reported. A virus is a tiny particle that causes disease but some kill bacteria and are beneficial. They are so small that 400,- 000,000, placed side by side, measure only one inch, but, through the develop- ment of a new process which magnifies two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand times, the scientists now watch the action of viruses in pictures. The particular virus which has been under study is a tadpole-looking some- thing with a little tail. It is known to kill bacteria that live in the intestinal tract but just how the viruses slay the bacteria is not yet known. Scientists call attention to the fact that infantile paralysis and influenza are the work of viruses and some forms of cancer develop only in the presence of a virus. Consequently, there-is an encourag- ing prospect in the work now being under- taken. The people who approve of the “one religion” ideal, have in mind only one religion, “REGIMENTATION 2” Peanut growers in fifteen states re- cently went to the polls,to express their opinion of a proposed production control program for the next three years. It is not important, for the purpose of this article, to comment upon the decision of the growers. It is worth pointing out, however, that a two-thirds vote was re- quired to make the program effective. It is designed to meet the- situation that comes from war-expanded acreages and threatening price-depressing surpluses. This is the method by which tre farm- ers of the nation have been invited by the Federal Government to meet conditions caused by widely-fluctuating supply and demand. It is the system which was rabid- ly renounced as “regimentation” by some Americans who are uninterested in the welfare of those who produce agricultural products. If this is “regimentation,” the Com- munist regime is liberalism itself, the United States is in Africa, there is peace in India and Palestine and the Chinese are ahout to assume responsibility for | warld economic stability.

AP Newsfeatures LITTLE HOUSE with big £% rooms. this story-and-a-half Cape Cod style cottage was de- signed by Elmer Gylleck, arch- itect, 120'2 So, Grove Ave., Elgin, Ill. It calls for 21,800 cubic feet of construction with a full basement. “This conven- tional center hall arrangemer:t will always be popular,” says the architect. The house oc- cupies an area of only 25x25 feet. For a more expansive project an attached garage could be linked to the house with a breezeway and porch could adjoin living room.
