Prices were high, demand seemed limitless in spite of that, and tale after tale of fabulous profits came from the beef-produci- regions. Now the picture has undergone an almost incredible change. Steers that sold for as much as 40 cents a pound are going to market for as little as 20 cents. In case after case, heavy losses have replaced the big profits. In its February 20 issue, U. S. News & World Report deals vividly with what has happened. It explains the causes the tremendous increase in our cattle population, the potent influence of weather, the speculative spree and the dream oi vast profits which caused people who knew little or nothing about the cattle business to enter it as a sideline, the boomg ing cattle auctions where producers sold to pach other at prices. U. S. News emphasizes that this hasn't been a fatal blow there is still money to be made in cattle, and over a period of time the losses will be paid off and recovery attained. There has been no big rush of cattlemen to Washington for government aid. At the end the magazine says, "Most cattlemen are willing to concede that the big prices of the postwar years ard probably gone for good. Many don't want to see such prices . But almost all of them will again agree with the Texas livestock man who said that the spree, while it lasted, was 'one of the wildest, wooliest, boom that even was seen'." So much for the facts, The moral seems to be that in a free, competitive economy, that which goes up must eventually come down. ever-risin- . . crap-shootinge- PRESIDENT st EISENHOWER PUSHES "CRUSADE" "We know now that Dwight Eisenhower was speaking with some conscious exactness when he used the word o describe his career as soldier, candidate and President, ' wrote columnist Holmes Alexander recently. "The emphasis on militant morality or conquest for righteousness, already noted by Mr. Eisenhower's friends, is now being remarked upon by his opponents." It is this crusading spirit which, more than any particular and specific issue, distinguishes the Eisenhower Administration from its immediate predecessors. And it is the crusading spirit which is giving substance, unity and direction to the policies, aims and actions of both the President and the men who are close to him. The new President is a deeply religious man, and ancient religious principles heavily influence his thinking. To quote Mr. Alexander again, "His own ancestors were members of a minority sect which migrated from Pennsylvaniainto Texaq and Kansas, believing in the dignity of toil and never whimpering for the cold charity which government often give in return for subservience . Much of the President's hatred of Nazism and Communism seems to stem from the godlessness of those 'cru-sade't- . 15-ye- ar WILL PAY GASH!

Here, certainily, is a key to what we expect of the Eisenhower leadership in both domestic and world affairs. And it does much to explain what the Administration is now doing or trying to do in widely varied fields. The President, for example, wants economical government, thrifty government. And this is not only because it would save the taxpayers money, important as that is. Going beyond the realm of dollars and cents, the President is convinced that the attitude of mind which encourages or fails to prevent waste and prodigality is the attitude of mind that could lead to a breakdown of the national fiber and result in national ruin. He looks on graft and corruption in government whether it be represented by the gift of a fur coat or a deal involving millions in much the same way. The President is also, it is clear, a firm believer in the idea that the Lord helps those who help themselves. He is 100 per cent opposed to the "give-away- " philosophy. We have seen some very significant examples of that since the Administration took office. One is in the Department ofi Agriculture. Secretary Benson made it plain that, in his estimation, price support for farm products should be regarded as emergency measures, not as something farmers have coming as a matter of course. Some loud howls greeted this. b the Secretary got many a pat on the back as well. Another is in the State Department. Nobody has a stronger desire to cement and strengthen the countries than Mr. Dulles. Nobody is more certain that the existence of the free world depends on this. But he has made it abundantly clear that the Western European powers must do much more than has been the case so far, both to reconcile their differences and to buld their military strength. The American Treasury, he pointed out in effect, is not a bottomless well. Finally, the general principle back of the Eisenhower do what program as' a whole is that government should not themprivate enterprise or local government or individuals selves can do. He wants less centralized government, not instead of demore. He wants the people to be idea will if be this as the hallmark now looks pendent.
