a whole they make sense whether they add up to any pattern Substantial Success Administration leaders in have spent most of this week and last fighting hard with substantial success to renew the recent control law' as called for in the president's program This is a step in the direction of keeping costs of living down Larger than rent as a factor fat cost of living is price of food And during these same weeks and before the administration has been almost farntically active in keeping the price' of food up in pursuance of the policy of price sub-po- rt for farm crops provided for in existing laws-Thdepartment of agriculture is still buying immense quantities of last year's potato crop and is beginning to make purchases of the new crop maturing in southern states The purchases are made at "support prices" fixed by the department The department has bought immense quantities of potatoes at prices ranging above $250 a hundredweight and sold the it prices which in some cases have been literally less than nothing less than the freight rates which - The Utah senat r's observations prompted us to examine the files in search of clues to solve the mystery about the ) "playing down"' of the Watkins speeches It seems to us the reason lies in the fact that news editors over the co untry were 'of the general opinion that the points raised by the Utah senator were even then being answered satisfactorily One of these points was whether the treaty would take from congress its congressional right of saying whether r not this country would go to war In the case of the second speech editors read his comments along with the news that the senate foreign relations session with Secretary Ache-so- n committee aflter a hree-hohad approved the terms of the proposed treaty The "play" in the news was given to the senate committee approval instead of to Watkins' questioning Although the "breaks" in the news were against the Utahn the senator is entitled to the satisfaction that his appeals for publication and debate have been answered to his satisfaction department ur It that the world is comforting to most of us to know is quite tolerant of fools viewing them with sympathetic amusement much as the world looks upon small children Proof of a friendly jittitude is found in the fact that ages before anybody thought up Mother's flay and Father's day the first of April whs designated as day All-Foo- l's True a certain number of sharpers operate in a manner contrary to the rule and do their best toj skin fools often succeeding but the run of the mill citizens are sympathetic with respect to the foolish and rush in with help when the foolish get themselves into difficulties This general attitude has inspired some modern philoso phers to wonder Does life deal more kindly with those upon torn wisdom! is bestowed or upon the fools? For those of good judgment are required to look after the foolish as well as themselves while the foolish may go their way blithely not even worrying about themselves It is written in the big dictionaries that the word "fool" once was a term of endearment much like the three letter term recently' made more famous by a president of the United States :'7W Even the sage Benjamin Franklin believed that the fool is not a total loss lie said "Experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other" a statement revealing his confidence tha t eve i a fool can learn from experience There is much evidence that Franklin was wrong about this but since most of us are foolish in whole or in part we go along with Franklin and hope et least that we can use experience to correct our errors of judgment ' Students Cheer When Army Ousts Syrian Government The news from Damascus Syria reports that hundreds of students marched through the streets waving banners and cheering the "liberation" of their country This liberation was achieved by the army The civil government was ousted the officials held prisoner while the military leaders rule the nation This may btt liberation" in the minds of the parading students but it pounds too much like some of the liberations that take place in South America It seems to us that in countries where the civil governments are at the mercy of the armies no liberation ever is achieved until the poeple obtain a government that can dominate the army instead of vice Sytia bordering the eastern Mediterranean is described as an independent republic The three million people were under French mandate for years Since French and British troops moved out in 1946 the government has undergone several changes The little country has had its share of stresses and strains down through the ages and seems fated to suffer more in adjusting to meet internal conditions and to the fact that it has a new and alert neighbor Israel -
