DAILY MEDITATIONS He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will m be his God, and he shall be ! my son, : ~Revelations 21:7. e i el Have you a favorite Bible verse? Malil to A, F, Pledger, Holly Heights Chapel, E e e s inmidsmiiongiiel Agreements, Orders Tend so wpr r : Stabilize Farmers’ Markefs BY PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent IWASHINGTON.— (NEA) —The growing extent to which Department of Agriculture “nrarketing ez cements” and “marketing orders” are used to control production and sales of "perishable farm products is little realized. The principal products covered are milk, fruits, vegetables, nuts and hops. There are now in effect 35 milk marketing orders, There are 28 fruit and vezetable agreements and orders, As some of the @ -reements cover whole states or several states in a commercial growing area, they really take in a lot o. territory and a lot of production. Ordinarily, these agreements and orders might b« considered violations of the anti-trust act, But t. - Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, ur er which these things are set up, carefully pro vic 25 that all agreements and orders shall be pro te led against anti-trust prosecution for combina ticn and conspiracy. Let any farmer under a marketing order violate his contract, however and there is the piper to pay. Civil suits may be filed and court injunctions issued to prevent further violation of the order and to en force eompliance, Civil action may also be filed to secure triple damages—three times the value of the product shipped in violation of the order. Finally, eriminal action may be taken, Convicted violators of an order may be fined from SSO to SSOO tor each violation, And every day’s non-compliance eounts a 8 a separate violation, © 7"ERS MORE STRICT THAN AGREEMENTS ~iarketing orders are issued by the Secretary of /4 viculture. The orders are binding on all the b adlers of the commnodity regardless of whether th~y sign and approve the order or not. Marketing orders apply principally to metropoli tan milksheds, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleve-~ land, Clinton (Iowa), Columbus, Dayton-Spring field, Dubuque, Duluth, Fall River, Fort Wayne, Kansas City, Knoxville, Lima, Louisville, Lowell- Lawrence, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Omaha-Council Bluffs, Padu cah, Philadelphia, Quad Cities (Ill.), St. Louis, Sioux City, South Bend, Springfield (Mass.), To~ ledo, Topeka, Wichita, Worcester, and the area 1 here Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia come to gciher are covered today. Marketing arrangements are much more loose a rangements. They are voluntary contracts enter ed into between the Secretary of Agriculture and the growers. Growers who don’t sign the agree ment don't have to abide by its restrictions, Among the more important agreements now in effect are these: Arizona-California oranges, grape fruit and lemons. Florida oranges, grapefruit and tangerines. California Tokay grapes, Bartlett pears, plums and peaches. California dried prunes and raisins. Colorado fresh peas and cauliflower, California, Oregon and Washington winter pears. - Colorado, Georgia and Utah peaches, ORDERS ARE VOTED ON Oregon and Washington filberts, California, Ore gon and Washington walnuts, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi pecans. California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho hops, Potatoes are under agreements in Colorado, Cal= ifornia, Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Washington, New Jersey and Maine, Not all proposals for issuance of marketing orders go through. California potato growers, except for iwo counties, recently turned down an order, Grow= ers representing two-thirds of the production must vote for an order before it is issued. The Secretary of Agriculture must also approve the order, so he has a kind of veto power to check bad orders and agreements, If amendments are sought for any order, the secretary must approve. Most orders and agreenrents are made for one, two or three years. About the only news that gets out on these agree« ments is when the Secretary of Agriculture announe ges appointment of some committee, like the Ore- K;Wuhin;ton Filbert Control Board, or the Peach Administrative Committee. They are #trictly local news. In justifying what might in some sense be con ridered this “regimentation” of farmers, the De partment of Agriculture - polnts out that these agresments and orders do not directly stabilize ces. They do stabilize mmrkets. Any prices set Eommmumrleumtmutbopddtomdum do not set retail prices, though shey influence Them, I stabilizing markets, agreements and orders may provide for selling only sop-quality products, o seheduling flow of crops to markst so as to pre vent gluts and price eollapse. Quotas have to be voted in by producers. All this is authorized by uct of Congress, Never in our history have you seen the world so so-operative for peace as it is today.—Ambassador :?ﬂ Austin, V. 8. representative to United anens, " Easier to Pay for Cold War ¢ Than Hot War, Says Hoffman Can we afford the cold war? A lot of people say we can’t, that the Marshall Plan, heavy defense outlays, help to the Far East and Point Four aid to backward lands are just too much to bear, Paul Hoffman, able head of the Economic Co operation Administration, has a different answer. He says we can't afford NOT to fight the cold war. In a recent Washington speech packed with solid sense, Hoffman laid the issue out plainly, As they emerge from his comment, the choices before us are these: to knuckle under to Russia, to reach a fair agreement with her, to continue the cold war or to undertake a shooting war, Of the first prospect, Hoffman probably voices the general U. S. view when he says Russia has a “perfectly stinking” system that men won’t live under if they can samehow escape it, And Hoffman seems to share the widespread official pessimism in America” over chances of a sound agreement with the Kremlin, He stresses that Russia decided to fight the cold war even while World War II still raged and she was our comrade in arms. He sees Soviet leaders thoroughly commit ted to the idea that communism and capitalism must battle until one or the other goes down. Hoffman is at his most forceful in pointing out that continuing the cold war is preferable by far to the one remaining alternative—shooting war. “Shooting war is the ultimate stupidity,” he declares, “This time we have got to win a victory with these new cold war techniques. And we will win it.” The cold war is expensive, yes. The four-year cost of the Marshall Plan will hit close to $15,000,~ 000,000, Defense outlays for ourselves and our allies are running around $13,000,000,000 to $15,000,000,- 000 a year. Add to this the mounting aid to other lands. But what of a hot war's cost? Hoffman quotes former Secretary of the Armry Gordon Gray as esti mating the final cost of World War ll—when the last pension is paid—at one trillion, three hundred billion dollars, Another war almost inevitably would cost much more. Hoffman believes we could extend the Marshal Plan to Asia and perhaps Africa for a cost that would come to less in a year than a hot war would cost in a week. s “What are people talking about when they say . we can't afford this $15,000,000,000, this $20,000,~ 000,000?” he asks. The economy-minded will be hard put to make sensible reply, For the fact is that, grim as it is, the cold war is the most cheerful prospect we can con template until Russian comnrunism somehow crum bles under the weight of a determined free world. Symbol of Freedom Whether or not you have ever listened to a note of symphonic music, you must admire the irrepres sible spirit and energy that have taken Arturo Tos canini, famed conductor, on a taxing nation-wide tour at the age of 83. Toscanini, of course, is a legend in the musical world. In everything he does he seeks perfection. His fiery devotion to great music is imparted to the men he leads. But Toscanini is more than a symbol of the ded icated artist. He has lived by principle in all fields. A lover of freedonr, he refused to piay the Fascist anthem in Mussolini’s Jtaly, Time and again he stood firm against compromise with men who were bent on brutalizing human life, Statesmen might argue that an artist can afford the luxury of living by principle, since he doesn’t have to enter the brawling political area where trade is the rule. Maybe that's true. But a couragecus statesman never yields the whole way. And the example of a man like Toscanini, clinging tenaciously to his be liefs, must surely hearten everyone who engages in the struggle for human betterment. e ————————————————————— I am confident that Alaska and Hawaii, like our present states, will grow with statehood and be cause of statehood.—President Truman.

SI,OOO in prizes and five entries selected for honorable mention will be exhibited Wednesday in the Julore showroom, 18 East 53 Street, New York City. They were chosen from a total of 1,170 en tries submitted by students from 38 states attending-124 universi ties, colleges, fine and applied art schools and high schools. According to Theodor Muller, chairman of the Jury of Awards, the winning group reflects the al most complete absence of strictly traditional designs among the en tries. It also shows, Mr. Muller said, the Jury’s preference for sim= ple, well-organized designs over bold or complex patterns. In those designs where individual motifs tend towards movement, the dyna= miec effect is counteracted by rest ful horizontal arrangements. Three fabric designs, in addition to the top winners, were picked for honorable mention. These are: a whimsical horizontal pattern of animal silhouettes against bands of rectangular blocks, by Neal Cotton, 80 Clifford Street, Roxbury 19, Mass., a student of the Massa- chusetts Schoo! of Art, Boston; “—.‘l fish motif in wertical columns by Georga Tscherny, 200 Reyerson Street, Brooklyn, N.
