With world sugar supplies still
running ‘way short’ the Govern-
ment is standing behind the re-
quest for more sugar, produced in
this country by increasing the
guaranteed return to producers, s
72 ” ' ae Pv2*
Secretary of Agriculture, Clin-
ton Anderson, announced the sup-
port on next year’s beet crop at
513.50 per ton. That’s national
average return, and it’s one dollar
higher than this year's price.
Sugar cane produced for sugar
also gets an increase in Govern-
ment support. The rate was set
at 52.10 per ton for average sugar
cane in Louisiana, Florida, Puerto
Rico, Virgin Islands, and Hawaii.
At the same time, the Govern-
ment is smoothing the way for in-
creased sugar production at the
other end of the line. . That's with
special payments to processors to
help them bear the higher pio-
cessing costs, eqs .!
So it looks as if the Govern-
ment is doing its part to help
farmers and processors turn out
the production neededsto straight-
en out the sugar supply. j

when Emergency Medical. Relief

Samuel Barbash, editor of the At-

ciety Bulletin, in a recent “guest
editorial” written for the Jackson
County , (Mo.) Medical Society
Bulletin. "Its ideals and purpose
were endorsed by every earnest
practitioner who recognized the
need it was trying to fill. How-
ever, political favoritism and mis-
carriage of aims were not. only
discouraging but disgusting. It is
appalling to contemplate the same
experience on a national scale.”

MUST WE HAVE PLANNED
CONFUSION? ‘
On, the subject of 'postwar price
regulation, the New York Times
says editorially: "OPA has now
issued the regulations governing
reconversion price adjustments.
These regulations apply to a non-
existent world which has been
created', by OPA administrators.
The facts of business life are com-
pletely disreguarded. In their
place' is found a series of yard-
sticks as‘to what pas been hap-
pening in this nonexistent world.
OPA recognizes that the 1942
price line which it desires to hold,
may not be appropriate for every
product. It therefore establishes
a formula to determine the
magnitude of permitted price in-
creases. . . . This formula disre-
gards many of the actual increas-
es in cost which have taken place,
The: net result of using prices es-
tablished under it "will almost cer-
tainly be to slow up reconversion
and to force many companies to
operate at a loss.” , ,
