No Mystery In Farm Price Decline
Quite naturally, farmers and farm organizations
are greatly concerned with the declines that have re
eenth" occurred in the market prices of
certain other agricultural commodities 11 e fear
been expressed that the declines m ght become
great as to bring on an agricultural depression
Forecasting the future is an exceedingly risky
business, and no one can say with certamity what
will happen to farm commodity prices next month
or next vear. But it should be recorded hat many
students of agricultural trends feel that the pre sen
situation is not as serious as some have painted ,
and is not likely to become so.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson is one of these
-he recently denied that the price declines had reached
-the proportions of an emergency. And the Minn
eapolis Morning Tribune expressed a widely-held opin
ion when it said editorially that “the outlook may not
be so alarming as it seems.” ,
The Tribune found several rays of light on the
price horizon. One is of a political character—the
government’s price support program, whatever one s
opinion of its wisdom, will carry through the 19a4
crop vear in its present form. Others are economic.
On the subject of livestock, for instance, the paper
said, “Most spectacular decline of all has been the
drop in meat cattle prices. But there is no mystery
about this development. Many cattlemen saw it com
ing a vear ago as cattle numbers were building up to
the highest point in history. Existence of price ceil
ings no doubt accelerated herd buildups at a time when
more animals should have been moving to feedlots or
slaughtering stations . . . There may be some further
declines in meat prices but they should level ott
soon . . . consumer demand for meat is still strong and
very likely will remain so.”
In other words, if views such as these aie coricct,
we are going through a period of adjustment, in a
supply-and-demand market. And, ironically, the mal
adjustments were made more severe by the very con
trols which were supposed to benefit everyone.
O
Answering The Cry Of Need
Protestant churches throughout America again
are engaged in their annual appeals to their congre
gations for funds with which to earn* on their human
itarian and Christian work of relief, rehabilitation and
reconstruction among the many millions of distressed
in overseas countries.
Major objectives of the relief programs sup
ported by the 1953 United Appeal, sponsored by the
Department of Church World Service of the Na
tional Council of the C hurchcs of Christ in the I . S.
A., co-operative relief arm of 36 of the larger de
nominations and communions, are man\ and xaried.
They deal with the suffering and want of people of
many lands and languages, colors and creeds.
The tragic plight of the people of Korea, of
those in the famine areas of India or in the overrun
refugee centers in Central Europe and the Near East
need little delineation.
The news columns and the radio reports record
the factual story of their awful situation daily. The
news and picture magazines, the newsreels and the
television screens bear graphic witness to the terrible
civilian toll of war, famine and flood. Their victims
—starving, homeless,orphaned, widowed and maimed—
arc counted in the tens of millions.
On Sunday, March 8, many of our local churches
will join with thousands of others throughout the
nation in making special relief offerings during the
“One Great Hour of Sharing” observance climaxing
the 1953 United Appeal.
More than $7,000,000 is needed for the continu
ation and necessary extension of the programs of the
churches working together in common Christian cause.
The heart of America never has failed to respond
to the cry of human need.
It will not do so now.

Well, Ike Eisenhower is stead
ily bringing himself into the
range of fire from his opposi
tion. Sen. Jim Murray came
out this week with a burst in
which he said he “was shocked”
Anything that isn’t strictly New
Deal is bound to shock Jim.
If his name had been on the
ballot last November he’d have
probably been shocked silly.
Cattle prices on the decline
are of concern at the moment,
and just what the new secretary
of agriculture means by “an
orderly market” remains to be
seen. Prices must come down.
But they should come down
evenly on everything, and at
the same time. It’s foolish to
believe that the cost of living
should come down but the sal
ary check should continue to
climb. It can’t be that way.
Anyhow, it occurs to me that
the price of cattle began its
downward trend in the last
weeks of the Truman admini
stration. It also occurs to me
that I don’t know anything
about cattle or what it costs to
raise a cow for market. I also
don’t know who reaped the
profit on excessive meat prices
the past several weeks. It def
initely wasn’t the producer, and
the retailer claimed he wasn’t
getting rich either. While the
OPS had their sights continu
ally lined up on the producer
and retailer it seems that some
one got away with the gravy.
It’s a little too early to pre
dict the outcome of any pro
gram under the new administ
ration. Me, I like to sit quiet
and watch a long time before
sounding off. I expect that
every once in a while Ike is
going to make a mistake but I
think tolerance, at least for a
while, should be the order of
things, unless of course you
forget that what Ike stepped
into on January 20 last wasn’t
exactly a bed of roses.
I hope we’re still trying to
run a newspaper when Senator
Jim Murray comes up for re
election. W e haven’t much
weight to toss around, but be
lieve me, we enjoy mightily
acting like we do. In the mean
time we’d like to suggest that
Jim concentrate on his sociali
stic schemes for river control,
free medicine and everything
else that has failed in practice
in the countries which thought
Socialism was the answer to
their economic ills. And that’s
all the space the Senator is
worth in this column this week.

Two developments in West
Germany have put the spotlight
back on reviving Nazism. The
movement has not reached any
alarming proportions. It still is
very much a minority affair.
But Nazism with even a few
shreds of strength is, to say
the least, disturbing.
British authorities in Germ
any arrested seven former Hit
ler officials on charges of plot
ting to restore Nazi power. The
British contend they hoped to
seize power by winning control
of three right-wing parties
which together could give them
a majority in the Bonn parlia
ment.
Perhaps of deeper signific

Bible Comment:
Free Enterprise
Must Be Unselfish
To Remain Free
'THE ideal society, from the
• L standpoint of the Christian, is
one in which men live in fellow
ship. It is a society where justice
is sought for everyone and where
the power of. the strong is avail
able for the protection of the
weak.
Summing up these qualities, it
is very evident that even in the
best of democracies, we are far
from attaining that ideal. The
aftermath of a war between na
tions has been a clash between
interested groups seeking position
and power for their own mem
bers.
Free enterprise is the welcome
alternative to totalitarianism to
day. This form of society should
appeal to those who believe in the
inherent freedom of mankind. But
if free enterprise means the right
of management to acquire unlim
ited profits and the right of labor
to strike without limit, it will be
that much more difficult for free
enterprise to battle the influences
of totalitarianism.
Unless it becomes Christian en
terprise, it will become weak and
ineffectual. We should listen to
day, to the advice of Jesus and
His apostle Paul.
Jesus placed love at the founda
tion of our society. He considered
service to be the principle of ac
tion. The apostle Paul compared
society to the human body, declar
ing we were all members, one of
another.
Even though these things are
basic, they have never been prop
erly recognized.
Totalitarianism is represented
by communism, and today atheis
tic communism is a strong chal
lenge which Christianity must
meet And this threat cannot be
met by half-hearted Christians.
It can only be met by Protes
tants, Catholics and Jews who
practice the principles of their
faiths every day. In the eco
nomic and industrial fields, it can
only be met by making free en
terprise an “unselfish” enterprise
which will work for the good of
everyone.
Whose Master's Voice?

ing of basic attitudes, was a
new survey taken by the U. S.
High Commissioner’s office in
western Germany.
One of its main findings was
that “the large majority of the
German people cannot be count
ed on to resist the efforts of
any Nazi type group to return
to power.”
The survey indicaed that most
Germans believe there was more
good than evil in Nazism, that
they disavow responsibility for
persecution of the Jews, that
anti-Jewish sentiment is again ।
on the rise.
Only a fourth of the west
Germans say they would do
everything they could to pre
vent restoration of a Nazi re
gime. The rest are either un
willing to act, or favor such a
return in varying degrees.
According to the survey, the
support for a vigorous national
ism is stronger now among Ger
man young people than it was
during Hitler’s time.
Most startling of all was the
fact that 56 per cent of those
questioned in the survey agreed
either wholly or in part with a
speech made last fall by a for
mer Nazi paratroop commander,
who called western Allies the
“real war criminals” of World
War 11.
Among the democracies there
can be no comfort in these
findings. The report is parti
cularly unhappy as it mirrors
the outlook of German youth,
toward whom Britain and Am
erica have been looking for
signs of more liberal leanings.
The Germans never have dis
tinguished themselves by any
marked feelings of war guilt,
either this time or after World
War I. But here w r e find them,
in surprising numbers, not
merely trying to fasten the war

The MINISTER'S
CORNER
Editorial Comment by Local
Ministers submitted through
the Big Horn Ministerial As
sociation.
Over nineteen centuries ago
history was shattered into two
segments; before and after the
birth, life, death, and resur
rection of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Against the backdrop
of all history one brilliant light
shines forth that gives mean
ing and hope and perspective
to the confused jungle of hu
man life and events. It is
therefore little wonder that his
tory is segmented by the drama
of the life of our Lord.
In these days of Lent we
are especially mindful of the
intensity of that drama and
particularly with the grandure
and depth of His last week;
the sense of impending tragedy,
the victorious entry, the Last
Supper, the betrayal, the hor
ror of Calvary, and the glory
of the Resurrection. All of this
is an extreme expression of the
feelings and experiences o f
every worthwhile Christian life.
blame on their erstwhile enem
ies, but voicing fresh faith in
the old patterns of doing and
thinking that twice before led
them into losing war.
What higher tribute is there
to the power of ideas to resist
the destruction of weapons?
And what better evidence can
be offered that no matter what
the west’s need of German
strength in the battle against
communism, it must maintain
1 serious rebirth of Nazism.
