Each dollar's proportionate worth in goods has fallen until it now takes 1.76 dollars to buy as much as one dollar would buy in 1939. Over three times as many dollars bidding frantically for less than twice as much goods equals inflation.

Governor Dewey is on record as law passed favoring the by congress last June, and President Truman says he is in favor of farm price supports and has been all along. BOTH SIDES have promised their help to the nation's farmers. As a result of the growing amount of light that has been shed upon the idea of price supports there has been a lot of argument as to whether they keep up costs of living in the city and, hence, contribute generally toward inflation. The system was started in the 1930s to save farmers from bankruptcy caused by surplus production and lack of consumer buying. It accomplished that end. IT WAS CHANGED during the war to make farmers produce more food than the country needed to feed less fortunate nations who were fighting the Axis. It did that. After the war this incentive system was continued to keep greater amounts of food flowing into desti- -' tute areas abroad. It was successful in that, also. Now, however, as a result of this artificial stimulation, production is beginning to pile up in the U. S. The wartime pattern of price support no longer fits the American market. THE POTATO situation is a case in point. As the government continues to stimulate the production of potatoes the guaranteed prices keep consumers from getting the surplus crops at bargain prices, and at the same time the system keeps farmers growing too many potatoes. Congress this year elected to revise the price support program, effective in 1950, by providing new parity prices based on modern farm practices and by allowing a fluctuation in support levels to conform with general economic conditions. Hope-Aike- Those who, in commenting on the strained relationship between the East and West, have been wont to say, It'll get worse before it gets any better, probably had reached the end of their rhetorical rope. For it was unlikely that it could get any worse without producing armed conflict of some kind. This, it appeared, was the top of the heap of crises that had been piling up for two years. There were these developments: THE AMERICAN, British and French ambassadors, who had been talking with Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and Premier Stalin in Moscow for six weeks, left the Russian capital, presumably discussions. ending the THE THREE western powers asked the Kremlin for a simple and final yes or no on the question of whether Russia will lift its blockade of Berlin. U. S. SECRETARY of State George Marshall, speaking before the U. N. general assembly, warned the Soviet Union that American patience should not be mistaken for weakness. With the Moscow talks at an end the center of action in the crisis had shifted to Paris where the issue would be debated in the U. N. The western nations the U. S., France and Great Britain plainly had had enough and were determined not to give another inch. In an hour-lonspeech before parliament, Bmtish Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin expressed his nations determination: We are firmly resolved to go on with our pol four-pow- icy. I AM NOT SAYING by that that we are committed to war and all the other things that might ensue. We have not reached that stage yet Speaking to the United Nations in Pans, George Marshall, U. S. secretary of state, outlined the basic U. S. foreign policy in much the same manner as Bevin. The United States, he said, would not compromise the essential principles or barter away the rights and freedoms of other peoples. n Dewey and Eggs One of the most maddening of all the modern paradoxes is that while millions of American families sre searching desperately for decent places to live, at the same time more American families own their own homes now than ever before in history. About 49 per cent of the nation's their families owned non farm homes at the beginning of this year, it has been revealed by a federal reserve board survey. That comes to a total of 18 5 million city and town families. Although the survey did not take up farm families, the proportion of home owners among that group traditionally has been much higher than among city dwellers.
