Thanks, Mr. President ~ The revised OPA extension bill, though not so effective a check on rising prices as the President wanted, does nevertheless give the Administration a weapon with which to continue its fight against inflation. ] The fact that we have this weapon at all is due to President Truman’s courageous veto of the fake price control bill sent to him by Congress at the end of June. ' : ; That bill was fraud because it was loaded down with Republicansponsored amendments which would have made price control impossible. We would have had a price control law, but no price control. The Republicans in the House voted 105 to 50 to override the President’s veto. The Democratiic majority, however, voted to sustain the veto, and Congress had to go back to work preparing a better bill. During July, when the OPA was without legal authority, the people had a taste of inflation. The cost of basic commodities rose 25 per cent in 16 days. Rents soared to fantastic levels in some instances. The only reason prices did not go even higher is that President Truman’s firmness made it apparent that price controls would be restored. That kept the speculators in check. : Now many of the controls have been restored. Without that, prices would be skyrocketing right now. : The Republicans in Congress fought bitterly to prevent the new bill from passing. First, they voted 124 to 49 to send the bill back to committee with instructions to cut the heart out of it. Then they voted 119 to 52 against the bill. Thus, the great majority of them showed that they wanted no price control whatever. The record of the Republicans on this issue is an indication of what might be expected if they should gain control of Congress at the next session. As in the case of price control, they would cast their votes for the benefit of big business and special interests rather than for the welfare of the people.

Elephants’ End? We can hardly wait! : For some months now, an official organ of the Republican party —the Republican—has been running a contest for a new and ‘“effective national party emblem.” : The contest ended last month, and we doubt very much if our entries will cop the hundred bucks offered the winner. All we did was just suggest some of the old GOP slogans, like “The full dinner pail,” “Two chickens in every pot,” “Two cars in every garage.” We didn’t have the heart to suggest the one about grass growiing in the city streets—remember, that’s what Hoover said would happen if the Democrats got in.

Most fitting, we believe, would be either a combination of an elephant and an ostrich, since the GOP has had its head in the sand for so many years, or the Dodo bird, which flies backward to see where it has been. ' j
