A Stiff Test For Moral Suasion The world's 'grim battle for security is complicated by two acute subsistence problems. One is the shortage of food in many lands. The other is American price inflation. These problems have at least one major relationship. The diminishing value of the dollar, which has raised havoc with our family food budgets, means that foreign nations get fewer supplies from us for the meager amount of dollars
they have left. Moreover, unfavorable weather conditions'
.lave limited the amount of surpluses available for export. Accordingly, appeals mount for either voluntary or compulsory rationing and price controls. Ex-President Hoove- has just advocated the former. The League of Wo'liien Vqters, the Progressive Citizens of America and the American Veterans committee, have just endorsed xlaims that congressional action is necessary to deal adequately with the situation. . Of course voluntary action is referable if it will work.
Translated into terms of everyday experience, it is better to j
wait ot our own accord for the green light than to be ordered by the traffic, cop on the corner when to stop' or go. The argument for compulsory controls is that voluntary measures won't work. On the other hand, we Americans have built up a stubborn resistance to compulsion During the Volstead era, it became popular to circumvent "thou shalt nots." And during World War II, when many1 thousands of American families had fathers and kids overseas, black markets flourished because a substantial proportion of our people put personal desires first. '
